Tim Bendzko Interview

Interviewer: You have made incredible achievements, but your new album is titled ‘By the thread’: do we have to worry?

Tim Bendzko: (laughs) I do not think so. And the album is actually called out of pure irony, ‘On the thread’. Especially if you hear this question over and over again, are you under pressure after the first album? ‘ That’s outrageous in my world anyway, because the album was so successful that you’re more relaxed and happy instead of worrying. You always have to decide between two things and something is always on the edge: But I am firmly convinced that it will turn out in most cases for the better.

Interviewer: What are your expectations for your new album?

Tim Bendzko: You can not really talk about expectations, although I already had the expectation of making it as good as possible. Of course, there are goals that you are and that you will hopefully achieve: But you should expect nothing.

Interviewer: With what feelings did you go to work?

Tim Bendzko: I was really looking forward to finally writing new things, especially as we have been playing the same thing for two years now. And if you play concerts and have only one album, then you have to suck the other songs always a bit from the fingers, which is always quite unsettling for the audience. But that will hopefully change soon.

Interviewer: The songs on your album all sound a bit melancholic: what makes you so excited?

Tim Bendzko: I just write songs about things that concern me and that’s rarely Halli Galli themes. If now Bayern wins a game, I write about it no song. Of course, if they lose, the pain will be deep and then you might try to put it into a song someday. There are things that can only be approached with irony. And yet it is unlikely that I will ever write an album where only funny songs are on it. Unless, at some point, I make a record: At some point that will happen, but under a code name! (Laughs)

Interviewer: You are playing a concert again this year at the Berlin Waldbühne: What does that mean to you?

Tim Bendzko: A lot. Four years ago I played with the 13 winners of this competition (he won a talent competition of the sons of Mannheim in 2009 – which is absurd in itself) and then I played with my band two years ago Acting by Joe Cocker played, which was also completely crazy and then we thought: Let’s stop the two-year-rhythm and play now just yourself. It is the most beautiful stage in Germany that you can play outside, then only stadiums will come after that. Dare to do so quickly is risky, but if it works out so much the better!

Interviewer: Can you separate commercial success from artistic contentment?

Tim Bendzko: I believe that commercial success will only materialize if I am artistically satisfied. Otherwise, one would notice to me at a distance of a hundred meters that I do not even believe what I sing there. That’s why I’m not worried about that.

Interviewer: Would you like to sing in English instead of singing in English?

Tim Bendzko: I do not know! If my English pronunciation someday develops to the point that one does not think at first, Krass, what’s that for one, then maybe. But I like the German language and I really believe that when music, text and melody fit together, it works across languages.
