Influenced by Milky Chance, Bosse, The Notwist, Hannes Wader. Silvan Herbst grew up in a small Black Forest village, raised by his grandmother, Lotte, in a house that smelled of pine needles and cherry cake. He learned to play the harmonica she gave him for his 16th birthday, its sound echoing the train whistles in the valley. After Lotte’s recent passing, he began turning her old recipe books into lyric journals, writing songs in the quiet of her empty kitchen. His music is a conversation with her ghost, a blend of folk warmth and shuffling beats, crafted with the same patience he learned sanding cuckoo clocks as a teenager.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Die Villeroy & Boch Tasse hat einen neuen Riss.
Dein Kirschkuchenrezept, das Papier ist ganz blass.
Sonntag, halb vier, in der Küche ist es still.
Ich hab den alten Plattenspieler auf den Sperrmüll.

[Chorus]
Und jede neue Diele, die ich leg' (die ich leg')
Ist ein Splitter von dir, den ich aus dem Herzen feg' (Herzen feg')?
Jeder neue Name, den ich lern' (den ich lern')
Hält er deinen nur weiter von mir fern?

[Verse 2]
Der Geruch von Fichtenharz ist fast verflogen.
Hab das Radio ersetzt, das nur noch gelogen.
Ein neues Gesicht lacht, wo du mal gesessen.
Habe ich dich damit schon ein zweites Mal vergessen?

[Bridge]
„Du musst die Wurzeln gießen“, sagtest du leis'.
Aber was, wenn der Boden nur noch aus Beton und Gleis?

[Outro]
Nein! Ich reiß' die Dielen nicht mehr raus!
Nein! Ich bau' dir einfach ein größeres Haus!
