thank you all for the nice feedback and kind words. You have given me some good inspiration for my future work and of how I could develop and possibly improve my songs.

Now I would like to introduce you to my new song "stand still for a moment" which I have been writing during the last week. Initially I was thinking of a typical kitschy Christmas song but then I thought it would be nice to give the song a more general feeling so that it can be sung and performed independently of Christmas time. Does that make sense? For me, it is still a christmas song as I have written it in a christmasy mood:)
Hopefully I'll be able to record the song next week.


Stand still for a moment

There is a kind of magic in the air
A warm nice feeling everywhere
the smell and the sparkling lights
let me dream and see the world with different eyes

We should all stand still for a moment
Being calm and taking a rest
Let the music fill our minds and souls
And think of those that we want to be blessed

I’m looking back on this year
And see so much that I had to fear
But now I got through which gave me strength
For new challenges to appear

It’s time to reach out
Our hands to those who need us
To comfort and to cheer them
When they can’t help themselves

Oh, I might not be able to post anything during the next week as I'll be touring Germany as a backing singer. How exciting! For those of you in Germany, check the tour dates on my website www.lara-herrmann.de and come along.
For all others...hmm, well, I'd love to perform in the UK someday, that would be fun. Maybe after I've got enough songs ready.

have a nice week!

lots of love,
Lara
