The story behind the song; "It’s Time To See Things Differently":
Recently I was inspired by how quickly life passes by. There's a quote in the Bible Psalm 90; "Teach us God, to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom". If we apply this in our life, we make better decisions, because we have a bigger perspective of things. I love the happy song beat because, bearing in mind, that our days here on earth are counted, doesn't need to make us depressive, because we live life to the fullest and are also looking forward for what is to come!
As I recorded the acoustic guitar in one go, gave the song a lively feeling and Mat Steiner of Music Base did a tremendous job with the bass, drums, Rhodes and additional guitars including the catchy mix. Tim Hänni designed a creative song cover and booklet and Mosaicstones (Jonas Baumman) a very effective release.
A huge THANK YOU to you all and a SPECIAL THANKS to all, who buy, stream and share my music!

Here’s my first song release of this year 2022. I wrote this song in my holiday this year. Here’s the song text and story behind it:
See Things Differently
text & music: © johnhaenni
Verse 1:
In your mind you have a certain picture
Reminding what your ideal would be
What is the source of your persuasion
Why do you have to fit in a shell
Interlude:
Ideal body; who told you you’re not right
Ideal career; who told you you’re not enough
Ideal partner; who told you you’re not the perfect match
Chorus:
It’s time to see things differently
Our days are short like grass
We may bloom as a flower quickly
But as the wind blows, gone so swiftly
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Verse 2.
Maybe you look down on a waiter
You may think his only challenge is to work later
He may be able to speak ten languages
Who are you to judge someone you don’t even know
Interlude:
Who are you to think someone ‘s not thin enough
But his body can bear a tough job
Did you ever observe someone at second glance
Isn’t their heart so beautiful
Bridge:
So move your eyes and look to the skies
Seek truth and fullness, don’t let yourself be captured
By mere worldly emptiness, turn your eyes to what really counts
