The Maldives
The Dream Islands become the scene of the karmic love of the soul mate of the tour guide Salia and the local Mohamed.
In an odyssey, she battles her heart against culture and religion,
and ultimately against herself, against the backdrop of one of the world's last paradises. 
Love knows no fear. Let your faith in it grow like a flower.
Give it water, let the sun shine on it and take care of it.
At night you will not be able to see it, but it is still there.
It will take time, but you will get a sign ... - "

The song is based on the book PARADIESLEBEN by my girlfriend and author PETRA RIEWE. 
LIVING IN PARADISE shows only a part of this incredible true story.

When I told DJ LEKICH about my new project, I could only present him with a relatively poor demo. 
But he went along with it right away anyway. 
With his help, we first put the song on a completely new musical foundation. 
When DJ then presented his first vocal track, it was clear that we were on the right path. 
As a bass player, only Marty came to mind. I knew his great playing style would give the background track the right touch. 
But I also needed string accompaniment. Especially for the big finale of the song. 
Since my musical skills are not sufficient for something like that, I asked Shigeki if he would like to join the project.
Fortunately, he said yes, because his brilliant work was the missing piece of the puzzle for a fantastic song. 
I hope you like it as much as we do.

This project has been an extraordinary amount of fun.
I would like to thank everyone involved for the great collaboration.

Can you hear the waves of the ocean
They’re telling us all about our life
There are so many fantastic emotions
And the love between us must survive

But it’s not too late
To say the words to you
And I’m feeling happy
Cause the words are true

And now I’ll wait
Wait for your answer
I’ll wait for your smile

We are living in paradise
And now I’m ready to sacrifice
I’m still loving you
Still loving you

I hope that you can change your view
So that our dreams can all come true
I’m still loving you
Still loving you

Look to the sky stars are shining for us
Every light a reason for our love
Fate’s the only thing that we can trust
And for a perfect life you are enough

But it’s not too late
To say the words to you
And I’m feeling happy
Cause the words are true

And now I’ll wait
Wait for your answer
I’ll wait for your smile

We are living in paradise
And now I’m ready to sacrifice
I’m still loving you
Still loving you

I hope that you can change your view
So that our dreams can all come true
I’m still loving you
Still loving you

We are living in paradise
And now I’m ready to sacrifice
I’m still loving you
Still loving you

Our emotions are jumping high
Flying fishes for a lullaby 
I’m still loving you
I’m still loving you
