Thanks to the guys from KUPFER for writing this powerful and inspirational song!
It was my huge honor to create the music video. And quarantine was the perfect time to do so.
Just an iPhone, my daughter and a lot of time…
IM MOTOR UNSRER SEELE (In the Engine Of Our Soul) is a song about missing loved ones who left too early. It’s a song about finding courage and strength within. About not giving up. And about the “green light”.
English translation of the beautiful lyrics:
In the Engine of Our Soul
Lost the captain of our ship
out on the rolling seas
So we navigate by stars
even ones we cannot see
Lift your head above the rail
and feel the ocean on your skin
Though there’s water in my eyes
Don’t think I’m crying tears again
[chorus]
‘Cause there’s a green light in the sky,
shining softly in your eyes,
we’re headed straight towards it
burning coal in the engine of our soul
and we will give everything
Life came and went,
we took on water by the hour
And as the storm around us raged,
we held on to a higher power
But this is not a mournful tune,
it’s a song to keep on going
And the fact that life is hard
we’ll let the others do the knowing
[chorus]
‘Cause there’s a green light in the sky,
shining softly in your eyes,
we’re headed straight towards it
burning coal in the engine of our soul
and we will give everything
There’s a green light up ahead,
don’t need nothing else instead
and we’ve got to stay the course
Though we lost the navigator,
have to worry ‘bout that later
We’re headed right back to the source
We will give everything, we will give everything We will give everything
We will give everything, we will give everything We will give everything
