On september 11 2001, like many people that day, I witnessed the attacks on tv. I stopped working, saw the Twin Towers collapse and watched the news until late that night.
A few days later I was playing the piano and the first draft of this song emerged...
From the very beginning I decided that "All My Dreams" would be a song clearly inspired by this tragic event, but then open up to a wider perspective. I wanted to write a more universal song about the individual loss and suffering caused by terror, hate, war and violence. I wanted to focus on the real people behind the numbers of victims and casualties. For each casualty there is a life and a future broken or lost, and a lifelong burden to bear for friends and family.
A lot has happened since then, and it seems that every word I wrote that time is still true for today. This unacceptable shame on mankind goes on and on.
I know a single song cannot change the world but music and art can help us reflect on the fact that we are all human, we care for our loved ones and suffer the same grief when they are taken. The aim of terror is creating fear and dividing people, my way of fighting back is to create music that brings people together...
I hope this song will inspire people in trying to find the answers to make the world a safer place for future generations...

Who has an answer?

All your dreams
And all you hoped for
Blown away
By a wind of hate
You
