Linda Feller will be attending “Germany sings”, this year’s event celebrating German unity

The initiate “October 3 – Germany sings” celebrates German Unity Day in a very special way this year: On October 3, 2020, at 7 p.m., 10 unifying songs will be sung simultaneously throughout the country and the peaceful revolution will be commemorated with a candlelight ceremony. Ten songs from eastern and western Germany are set to be sung for the event, including “Die Gedanken sind frei”, “Wind of Change”, “Der Mond ist aufgegangen” and “Über sieben Bruecken musst du gehn”.

The initiative aims to light a beacon of solidarity and involve all citizens during these trying times. If necessary, the event will even take place from balconies, windows or as a virtual choir via a live stream. An online live streaming event from the Nikolai Church with contemporary witnesses in Leipzig has also been prepared for October 3. All those who would like to take part in the event are welcome to connect via the internet beginning 6:45 p.m. and participate in the country-wide choir at 7 p.m. The livestream is available at www.3oktober.org/livestream.

The contemporary witnesses are Pastor Stief, pastor of the Nikolai Church in Leipzig, Liana Plotzitzka and Germany’s most successful country singer, Linda Feller, who will describe her experiences of the fall of the Berlin Wall and reunification.

Together with Tim Niedernolte, the presenter of ZDF’s “Drehscheibe” program, Linda Feller will welcome the audience at the “Einheits-Expo” in Potsdam at 6:55 p.m. and then start the countdown to the first song, “Die Gedanken sind frei”.

More than 350 choirs, ensembles and parishes have now joined together with many other local choirs and are planning the “October 3 – Germany sings” open-air concert in more than 250 participating cities, a number that is increasing every day. Each location can round out their collection of songs by adding the national and/or European anthem, which have also been included in the song book. They can function as the ceremonial beginning or end of the musical event.

Numerous German cities from Bremen to Wernigerode have joined in with their own supporting programs. All those interested are also welcome to light candles and take part in this wonderful event. No matter whether you prefer humming, singing along or simply enjoying the festive atmosphere, everyone is cordially invited to participate.

Linda Feller releases new single Haett’ ich ein andres Herz

“Hätt’ ich ein andres Herz” is the first advance single from Linda Feller’s anniversary album.

“Hätt’ ich ein andres Herz” is the first advance single from Linda Feller’s anniversary album, which will be released on CD and in digital format in the fall of 2020.

The new year brings with it new music by Linda Feller. Germany’s most successful country singer, who is celebrating the 35th anniversary of her career this year, has started studio recordings for her album, scheduled for release this fall. AGR Television Records is releasing the single “Hätt’ ich ein andres Herz” as an advance single from the album.

“Hätt’ ich ein andres Herz” is a strong ballad about lovesickness – a theme that country music is best suited for. The song was written and produced by Christoph Leis-Bendorff & Rudolf Muessig. The guitar is played by Dirk Schlag (Truck Stop, Santiano), one of the best guitarists in Germany.

The fresh sound of “Hätt’ ich ein andres Herz” shows the musical versatility of Linda Feller, who time and again manages to pack strong lyrics into a fitting musical garment. Always strongly interpreted and never boring. This makes “Hätt’ ich ein andres Herz” the perfect herald for Linda Feller’s upcoming studio album featuring new compositions and new recordings of musical milestones from her 35-year career as well as duets with companions along the way.

Linda Feller of course also shot a music video for the single. The recordings took place in the “Kulturwirtschaft” at the trendy nightclub “Kraftwerk Mitte” in her home town of Dresden. Camera man, Gunnar Baumann, was also responsible for editing the video. In the video, Florian Stoelzel performed the guitar solo played by Dirk Schlag in the studio.

“Hätt’ ich ein andres Herz” will be released on March 13, 2020 as a digital download and stream and will be available on all portals. The release of the single marks the beginning of closer cooperation between Linda Feller and AGR Television Records, which began in 2018. The still-untitled anniversary album will be the first album release under the new contract covering five albums.
