Description
I guess, these days I'm too deep into music and lyrics to be called 'sane'. I see icebreakers in my dreams, I drink too much coffee, I wake up too early and go to bed too late...Well.
I'm alive, aren't I?..)))
There's an unreleased track by Der Graf of Unheilig, "Kalt" (or "Cold" in English). I've no idea, why on earth this wasn't released, for the song is supernaturally great: it touches your soul with every sound.
The fact, that these music and lyrics made me think about one's heart - a gift, too cold, reserved and icy to be kept closer, but too precious and fragile to be just dropped.
Sometimes loving is right this way: you feel bitter cold, yet you cannot leave, and so you keep the feeling in your bleeding hands, like a delicate flower...

Thank you so much! I've been a huge fan since 2004, so I feel your pain about the unreleased stuff... it's incredible, and it's a great pity there's a very little chacne to dig out the limited recordings...

You're welcome! I haven't been a fan for a very long time (since 2012 I believe), which is sad when I only experienced Unheilig for a few years before their retirement. I'm sure I still have missed some of their songs that were exclusive in singles, albums or in another collab. I almost completely missed "Schleichfahrt", which is the bonus track to a limited edition album. <_< (I found it on YouTube later.)
Have you heard Gregorian's "Born To Feel Alive", the English cover of "Geboren um zu Leben"? Not as great as the original, yet beautiful.

Thank you for pointing out the Gregorian version: it's incredible!
I'm lucky because I've met Der Graf and I've watched him performing; it is just... something else. He has incredible energy and warmth in him and he's not afraid to share, and for that I will always respect him. Have you heard "Ich Will Leben", or him reading the Sleeping Beauty fairytale (it's "Dornröschen" in German)?

No problem! I love listening to Gregorian, so I then noticed in one of their newer albums had that song in the tracklist.
Ohh, you're very lucky indeed! I'll never have that chance. I could already tell by watching him in videos (vlogs/announcements & live shows) that he's got warmth and incredible energy in him. I also saw the warmth in him in some of the beautiful music videos. 
I haven't heard them. Thanks for the info about "Ich Will Leben", I just listened to it on YouTube and it sounds cool! But for "Dornröschen" I only heard a small sample somewhere. Except for the nice soft voice he's using, there's not much I understand of it. I need more than just one year of German studies (that I had at school) to actually listen to the whole story or even read/listen to his autobiography.

(Sorry for a very late reply, I'm hardly logged on dA)
Thank you for all the tracks! I found them all on YouTube and listened through them and liked them, my favorites being "Brief an Dich" and "Tag für Sieger" so far.

Yeah, same thoughts here... But that's the point of them being rare, isn't it?)) Or so the management thinks. We're lucky we can still listen to them somehow...))

Well, you have a point. It's just that I'm an eager collector and wants every song by Unheilig on discs. XD (I'm still missing "Alles Hat Seine Zeit - Best of 1999-2014" *sobs*)

I find it so incredible you can express the feelings you get from music into beautiful paintings.
Such an incredible gift. I am horrendously jealous.

Thank you so much....
I am really honored to be appreciated with these words - frankly - just because 'meaning' is that very thing I really do try to portray in my every work...

And it is difficult to succeed at that, i know
But you do so frecuently and your works are always appealing, undestandable and beautiful

Wow this is yet another amazing picture! Also ty for introducing me to Unheilig, I have heard some fo their other songs but never this one!

Thank you so much!
I discovered this track only few days ago, so I was amazed by another brand new side of the talent of Der Graf... the fact that he keeps me in constant inspiration for a couple of years - and never fails.)))

I LOVE the Ikarus song sooo much ^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hell yes!...
I adore "Phoenix" and "Zauberer"........ um. Well. It's easier to mention the ones I don't like - for they are very few (if they exist..))))
Here, in Moscow, over half of my friends are waiting for Unheilig to come here with live show.)))

I wish more bands of the like came to the U.S.. most of my family is in Denmark and always invite me but it's too expensive to fly over T_T At least on artist's salery lol -.-;

A russian person would say "PPKS" - "I'd subscribe under your every word". Completely agreed - just because sometimes there are too many difficulties for people to reach the show or to come with tour... that's understandable.
...yet still a neat percent of moscovites keep on crying: "Why, damn why there's a SINGLE show?!! Why not at least two?!!.."))) In some way we should be just happy we have a chance...)
