   Sarah P. Releases "Berlin During Winter"   
   20 Jan 17 23:10:36   
   
   "Berlin During Winter', the first single from Sarah P.'s upcoming solo debut   
   album Who Am I, is OUT NOW.   
      
   Genre-wise, Sarah's bending between dream pop and heavy guitar and bass riffs.   
   In her own words, "Berlin During Winter' is electro ambient-core. Lyric-wise,   
   "Berlin During Winter' has a twofold meaning. The obvious one, as the title   
   suggests, takes the    
   listener on a walk through Berlin, during the cold months. Everything is gray   
   and freezing cold. All colors are faded as if a painter mixed them with black   
   and white tones. And as cold as Berlin gets, cold enough to even freeze the   
   people's emotions, it    
   leads to the second interpretation; depression.   
      
   "I'm not new to depression. Are you?' asks Sarah. People are under constant   
   pressure from all side. No matter if rent, food, clothes, relationships, or   
   the worries about our public image. "How do people perceive us in the   
   so-called "outside world'. We    
   have profiles on various platforms where, to get likes, we really need to put   
   some effort. Whether profiled as snarky or cutesy or something in between, we   
   learned which one is our good angle, which type of photos are driving more   
   traffic to our channels,   
    which one is our niche.'   
      
   However, there are things that not even the sad, crying emoji can express.   
   Devastation, pain, sorrow, war. And there's war all around us and it feels   
   like the next wars are waiting around the corner. There's hate everywhere and   
   unfortunately, in real    
   life, haters can't be blocked. "The internet life is taking over the offline   
   one creating chaos. Hate is making the world go around, hovering us all in a   
   big, fat tornado. And if that's not depressing, I don't know what is.'   
      
   About the video:   
   While following the events at the current war zones, Sarah decided to make a   
   video for "Berlin During Winter'. Although she lives in Berlin, the song's   
   setting is symbolical. Using public domain footage from war archives, Sarah   
   gave "Berlin During Winter'   
    a striking video. "We can't undo our history, but we can learn from it and   
   shape our future. Especially this winter it's about time that we break from   
   our bubble,' Sarah says. "We spent so much money on gifts and parties while   
   knowing that people    
   somewhere else were dying or taken their homes away. The hypocrisy levels we   
   have hit are beyond embarrassing and it's about time that we do something.   
   Despite how perfect our (social media) lives may be, we shall turn around and   
   see the world without    
   beautifying filters. We need to roll up our sleeves and ACT NOW. Not in a   
   superficial way, not with hashtags. This time, for real.'
