"31 557 600 s" is a song that I wrote on the 19th of June in 2017. 31 557 600 is the amount of seconds that one year has. Exactly one year before I wrote that song, a, to this day, very special thing happened, so I decided to write song about all the feelings I had concerning that one event. As the song goes on it modulates from f-major to g-major, but I don't really know how that happened, because I wasn't thinking like "wow I am going to modulate from f-major to g-major!!" while writing it. It just happened...somehow. A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine, Michael Feichtenberger, asked if we wanted to do a music video together. He mentioned the "Reininghausgründe", which is an old beer factory in Graz, that they are planning to tear down in the near future. Therefore, people are trying to make the best out of it as long as it is still standing. I've heard many cool things about that location so I was totally into the idea of making a music video there. We found out later that a very old piano is standing there, which couldn't be any more perfect. Michael, Valentin Hasebe (who did the recording and mixing) and I spent a whole afternoon there and ended up with a pretty cool video.

the lyrics:
thirty-one-million-five-hundred-fifty-seven-thousand-six-hundred seconds
and you still leave my mind open to reckon
to guess how much more time we have and when you're going to leave
me behind with my own lost mind for nobody else to find
for nobody else to find
I was once a small girl who thought she would never be alone
there was a time when we both hadn't known about each other
and my hands still smell like you with your skin under my nails, how true
it's the many things you do to my heart when my head wants to think of you
thirty-one-million-five-hundred-fifty-seven-thousand-six-hundred seconds
and you still leave my mind open to reckon
to guess how much more time we have and when you're going to leave
me behind with my own lost mind for nobody else to find
and a bird starts whining as it sees you go away and leave
me behind with my own lost mind
for nobody else to find
nobody knows
where to find me only you know
nobody knows
where to find me
but now you are gone
thirty-one-million-five-hundred-fifty-seven-thousand-six-hundred seconds
and you still leave my mind open to reckon
to guess how much more time we have and when you're going to leave
me behind with my own lost mind for nobody else to find
for nobody else to find
I was once a small girl who thought she would never be alone
there was a time when we both hadn't known about each other
and my hands still smell like you with your skin under my nails, how true
it's the many things you do to my heart when my head wants to think of you
thirty-one-million-five-hundred-fifty-seven-thousand-six-hundred seconds
and you still leave my mind open to reckon
to guess how much more time we have and when you're going to leave
me behind with my own lost mind for nobody else to find
and a bird starts whining as it sees you go away and leave
me behind with my own lost mind
for nobody else to find
nobody knows
where to find me only you know
nobody knows
where to find me
but now you are gone
