KONSTANTIN WECKER - Der Liebe zuliebe
Konstantin Wecker
Der Liebe zuliebe – a literary-musical evening
Sometimes contentious, sometimes reflective, sometimes gentle – always passionate: This is how the audience knows and loves the poet and musician Konstantin Wecker. He is not only a gifted songwriter, but also an important voice for an entire generation. An unyielding admonisher and fighter against war and fascism. With his songs and texts, he has fought for justice and peace for many decades, advocating for a more mindful, loving coexistence. With his new book Der Liebe zuliebe (bene! / Droemer Knaur) – Konstantin Wecker takes stock of his life.
Der Liebe zuliebe – a book about a lifelong search: for meaning, for the "more than everything," for the great mystery, for love, for paths to inner and outer peace. For Wecker, love is the key to a life that can succeed. And that the world can become different, a better place.
Konstantin Wecker does not shy away from dark times in his new book: depression, melancholy, alcoholism, drug highs, numerous crashes, delusions, anger, sadness. He writes about a decades-long search and a turning point at the brink.
A moving book from the pen of one of the greatest song poets of our time, who encourages tens of thousands of fans to believe in the good and to stand up for the good.
"I finally wanted to become the one I sing about in my songs: the tender, the peaceful, the loving, the listening. Someone who knows what is essential.
Daily meditation, the people who supported me, the many good conversations, music, wonderful texts of old mystics – they have done me good. Without the return to the power of spirituality, I probably wouldn't have made it to forge a new path. I wrote this book to invite all those who struggle with similar issues and the question of the meaning of our existence to embark on a journey toward a more fulfilling life. Perhaps this book has become a kind of first legacy in the advanced age of my earthly life... Soberly, I look at the essence of being and, of course, I feel the desire and joy for new things and so much more. Gratefully, I wrote a letter at the beginning to my long-deceased father."
