Henriette Flach says about the album: “The inspiration for the music arose through my many contrasting experiences of recent years. From experiences of a time when everything felt warm and good to experiences where the world seemed cold and difficult. Especially, emotions such as sorrow and gratitude remain strong. Through the perspective of time, it becomes clearer and clearer in my consciousness that “what we have and are, we only have because we have each other” This record is, for me, a reminder of this.”
