Deeply emotional, raw, and heart wrenchingly beautiful.
“Wen du liebst” talks about the involuntary nature of love, of how one cannot control who they fall for even if it hurts them in the end. From almost upbeat at the beginning to haunting in the middle part: The guitars show an impressive range just like the vocals which harmonise perfectly with the occasional backing. It’s the drums that bind it all together while the lyrics gets carried by the instrumentals and tells the story of a love that just happened, that hurts, that was not chosen voluntarily. The words show vulnerability, desperation, heartache, and resignation. The chorus sounds like an explanation for why someone would put themselves in a romantic situation like this to which the answer is “Wen ich lieb hab ich mir nicht ausgesucht.”
