Dear Stefan, my 4,898 mile friend...

That's the approximate shortest distance between Germany and United States, with 7,882 km equalling 4,898 miles, by air travel.

When I listen to songs on the User's Forum that I feel are really and truly original in some way, I like to nominate them for imaginary awards. And so, I believe that your song, "Nothing's Easy Anymore", should win the "most brutally honest lyrics" award laugh !!!

You sing about the loss of youth, the changes in physical appearance, waning "powers", and more. Those are fairly "taboo" subjects in the world of songwriting. That makes you some kind of courageous dude to include them in a song. But, you know what? It's all true, inevitable, painful, and regrettable, right? Right.

And yet, and yet...you summoned and exerted a great deal of precious energy to compose and perform a song about it all! What that means to me is that your desire to continue enjoying living your life is as strong as ever.

You sang the lyrics to your song with a degree of emotion that caused me to raise my eyebrows. Truth be told, I thought you were about to break into tears at any point in the song. That's how powerful your committment to telling the truth of your life at this moment in time was.

But do you know what was the most resounding, memorable, and transformative thing about your song? This:

"Nothing is easy anymore...except loving her".
