About High Low High Low

Life truly has its ups and downs and 2020 reminded all of us of that. I remember the first lockdown starting three days before my drivers license test and only weeks before my planned tour. It was a really hard lockdown not allowing you to leave the house at all except to get the groceries and go to the doctor, and since I didn’t have a license and only one person was allowed in the car at the same time that meant 6 weeks without leaving the house for me. After that low the little things suddenly seemed a little bit more wonderful. I remember going down to the sea for the first time and just crying for 30 minutes because it’s just looked so beautiful. 

I managed to get my drivers license and to play my tour in late summer - small house concerts only. It was on the first date of that tour that I wrote „High Low High Low“ and I played it at every concert after that. The song became a companion on my journey, a reminder that life goes up and down and that’s ok. Sometimes everything is great and we’re feeling low, sometimes we find the light in in the darkest places. But we always keep moving forward in this beautiful rollercoaster called life. And even if we can’t predict what will happen after the next turn (just like I went on tour without knowing how many concerts I would get to play) we can still keep hope, and life will often surprise us. My 4 confirmed gigs turned into an 11 gig tour, with quarantines and ups and downs but mostly wonderful people and wonderful places. They all heard this song and now I get to share it with you too. Thank you for listening and may your rollercoaster give you a wonderful ride.
