Sommertag - Gisbert Zu Knyphausen

Sommertag - Gisbert Zu Knyphausen
2:42
Gisbert Zu Knyphausen, 2008
Written by Gisbert Zu Knyphausen?

What a name!  I've never heard of this German singer-songwriter, but this song is a great blend of melody and rock.  The lyrics, as far as I understand them, seem to be about how life can be overwhelming with all its heartache and noise, but it's fleeting and it can be beautiful ("es ist ein wunderschöner Sommertag"), so all we can do is try to grasp at togetherness, take a breath and move on.
