Who said I couldn’t be a rock chick? 😎🤘😂 It’s time to put the devil in his place! Are you the storm, too? This is of course inspired by this quote/proverb: "The Devil whispered in my ear: 'You're not strong enough to withstand the storm.' I whispered back: 'I am the storm.'" #protestsong

I just updated the cover of my single Café Of The Lost Dreams (And The New Horizons). I originally used a sh*tty AI cover because after hours of unsuccessful search on Pixabay and related sites I gave in. 😖 But then I took this picture in Toulouse and it had just the right vibe! ☺️ #noai

This is the cover of my single Piece of Art. I love how the pieces of seashells might be imperfect and broken, yet they shimmer so beautifully! The song is about body positivity, so I thought it was fitting as we are all pieces of art by nature. It's out on #bandcamp this Wednesday, 4 February.

Happy Sunday! Some thoughts I like writing by hand...it feels more intentional and grounded. My lyrics I have to type because my mind jumps around too much! But for reflections and ideas, writing by hand is just right.

It’s no big secret that I am a huge fan of @johnserrano.bandcamp.com ! His voice and music are so very special. It’s a perfect blend of jazz, fusion, pop, rock, flamenco, r&b, soul…..his voice is incredible and he plays all the instruments himself! Of course I had to get his latest album on #vinyl!

For those curious about Nashville tuning: It means that the four lower strings (6–3) are tuned an octave higher than usual, while the top two stay the same. Regular steel strings can snap or worse, damage the guitar. These are the ones I use.

All of my guitars have names – this is Suzanne. She’s a steel-string acoustic with Nashville tuning, and I used her on my song January. The tuning adds a little extra sparkle.

New song in the Garden of Creation on BC. When I see beauty in something, there's usually a song on my mind. Just two days after I wrote the song, a snowstorm hit the north of Germany. Did I write it into existence?! I hope I didn't! 😜 annikajayne.bandcamp.com/track/januar... #bandcamp #folk

Yesterday I was on a streetart guided tour in Cologne Ehrenfeld. There’s so much to see! If you go I totally recommend Alternative Cologne Tours! Eva knows many of the artists and the message behind the streetart. #streetart #cologne #köln

Streetart saying “I ❤️ Ehrenfeld“ on a painted sign on orange background. Next to the sign there’s a musical note.

Streetart made of cans attached to the wall spelling the word LOVE. Below is a porcelain saucer also attached to the wall saying LIEBE in the centre.

Streetart showing a huge styrofoam cassette tape attached to the wall. It displays the Counting Crows August and everything after cover. Above Streetart by CMYK. He always uses the colours you would usually find in a printer.

New streetart on a house in Ehrenfeld. Many landlords have the houses painted only to then increase the rent. To prevent this from happening , newly painted houses are often sprayed upon or are painted over.

Just saw Suzanne Vega in Cologne — wow, what a show! The cello was such a nice surprise and worked perfectly with the songs. Stephanie Winters was amazing, and of course Gerry Leonard shone on electric guitar as always! 💫 #livemusic #suzannevega

My feeling exactly! 😂 Summer is over, and as much as I love autumn, it’s so much to do! I can hardly keep track of the many little things that keep popping up. Also I was going to launch my little creative space this week. It’s definitely coming, so stay tuned! 👀

September is here. It’s a quiet shift. Not quite summer, not quite autumn The change is subtle — but it feels like it’s full of possibilities. A season for slow creativity, new pages, and small restarts. How do you feel about this time of year? A reset? Still summer?

This is one of the books I read during my holiday in Tuscany. A wonderful read - it feels like Ocean’s 11 only it’s set in medieval Florence with a touch of Robin Hood. Somehow it’s strangely relevant to the current tariff situation in the US. #booksky

Sometimes it’s the little things that spark inspiration. And sometimes the universe nudges you in the right direction—like this quill in Tuscany that found me. They are quite common yet no other had the tiny treble clef attached. A true connection to music! 🎶 Do you still write letters by hand?

A blue quill resting in the ink pot. Next to the quill on the left there’s a handwritten note on sunflower paper saying “Dear friends, How are you? I hope you have had the most amazing summer holiday! As you know this year, I went to Tuscany—a landscape that has always mesmerized me. It’s always beautiful, even when it rains and the thunderstorms over the Tuscan hills are breathtaking, in both a thrilling and a scary way. Pto”. On the other side of the quill there’s a sunflower envelope.

I know it might feel like déjà vu. I said I was preparing something, then stepped back, feeling burnt out. But after some time away from social media, I’ve quietly been putting together a little space where songs and letters meet. 🍂 Coming this autumn, the best time of year.
