1. Shadowman

SCHMIDT on Shadowman

»Women should be familiar with this phenomenon. It is about a man who is always at the back of one's mind. Sometimes, he behaves like a shadow: When you try to grab hold of him, he disappears.«

2. Sin City

SCHMIDT on Sin City

»The sinful city. It is also the soundtrack of a current international short-film contest. I live in London and in Berlin. They are my two sin cities. If you want to, you can make endless discoveries there. And for a song writer, there is so much to tell about life in a sin city, one song is barely enough...«

3. Boom Boom

SCHMIDT on Boom Boom 

»I can still remember: I came to the studio in London and Guy Chambers welcomed me, he was in a jokey mood and we decided to write a funny song... Boom Boom turned out to be an unusually complex song, which from a musical standpoint is probably the most demanding of the whole EP.«

4. Under My Heart

SCHMIDT on Under My Heart

»A very important song for me. Probably the most personal song there is. I wrote it for a friend. I wanted to show him that I am thinking of him and that I am there for him and that he must never give up hope.«

5. Venus In Furs

SCHMIDT on Venus In Furs

»This is the only cover song of the EP. It is a Velvet Underground song, a band without equals and which I hold in high regard. This is the first song about SM, based on the book "Venus im Pelz (Venus in Furs)" by Leopold von Sacher Masoch. For us, it mattered that musically, the song simply knocked us for six and we desperately wanted to add something of ourselves to it.«
