about

His new single “Dreaming” (out July 15th) started out as a guitar-loop which eventually became a fully realized song. From time to time he would just noodle around in his bedroom studio & not work on something specific. But in this case, it’s oftentimes where a lot of ideas come from. “It was just an Instagram story long before I finally decided that I could maybe make it a full song”, says Patrick.

He finished writing the lyrics on a writer’s retreat at Lago Maggiore, Italy. “For me, this song is about these different kinds of dreams you can experience. Whether they’re nightmares, fever dreams or happy dreams that seem to be too good to be true”.

What he thought could be a “nice little song” to release in between while working on his debut album ended up having 8 different versions and about 40 different mixes. “It’s funny how many hours I put in for a 2:42min song that only has one verse and one chorus. I definitely learned a lot from this experience and I already made some improvements for future songs”, says Patrick.

His music can be located somewhere between singer-songwriter, dreampop, indie and folk. It’s music to get lost to, music that urges you to enjoy the little things in life and to live in the moment.

The new single “Dreaming” is out everywhere July 20th.

lyrics

In another world that's right between us
Imitating that the grass is always greener

Would you lay me down with all eyes open?
Merry-go-round, stuck in this moment

Dreaming
I can't remember anything
Dreaming
Sleep like a baby
Dreaming
Wake up in sweat
Dreaming
I'm wide awake

Again, his music also has a lo-fi / diy character which motivated me and kept me going whenever I felt insecure with my songs. Slowlife
