“It is an album that I wrote in some mental balance. I see this title as a conscious statement. If life were a calendar, I was now in September”, sums up Rainhard Fendrich. “You have to say just sometime that one has more time than before. It’s not scary, but it can be a great advantage.

The songs are not heavy, the time is hard! We live in a highly complex and complicated world, which presents new challenges. That you can’t walk away, you must confront them. I know you can not improve the world, but you have to try it at least.
