When Garrett was four years old, his father bought a violin for his older brother. The young David took an interest and soon learned to play. A year later, he took part in a competition and won first prize. By the age of seven, he was playing once a week in public. He studied violin at the Lubeck Conservatoire. At the age of 12, he began working with the distinguished Polish violinist Ida Haendel, often travelling to London and the other European cities to meet her. At the age of 13, he recorded two CDs, appeared on German and Dutch television, and gave a concert in the residence of the Federal Republic of Germany President, the Villa Hammerschmidt, at Dr. von Weizsäcker’s personal invitation. He was offered the use of the famous Stradivarius "San Lorenzo", which is among the best instruments of the "golden period". At the age of 14, as the youngest soloist ever, he signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft. At the age of 17, he played with the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Zubin Mehta in Delhi and Bombay in concerts marking the 50th anniversary of India’s Independence. At the age of 19, he played with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchster in Berlin, under the direction of Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, and was hailed by critics. This led to an invitation to perform at Expo 2000 in Hannover. He continued his studies at the Royal College of Music in London. At the age of 21, he was invited to perform at the BBC Proms. He graduated from the Juilliard School in 2004.
While studying at the Juilliard School in New York City, as one of the first students to study with Itzhak Perlman, Garrett supplemented his income by working as a model. Some fashion writers have described him as "the David Beckham of the classical scene".
In December 2007, Garrett fell after a performance at Barbican Hall in London, and smashed his rare violin, initially reported as a Stradivarius, but later corrected to having been made by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini. Garrett had purchased the instrument four years earlier for USD 1 million.[3] It was estimated that it would cost $120,000 to repair.[4]

Alle Tage ist kein Sonntag
David Garrett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alle Tage gibt's keinen Wein
Aber du sollst alle Tage
Recht lieb zu mir sein
Und wenn ich einst tot bin
Sollst du denken an mich
Auch am Abend, eh du einschläfst
Auch am Abend, eh du einschläfst
Aber weinen sollst du nicht
Und wird es dann dunkel
Graue Haare, grauer Sinn
Lass leuchten, lass leuchten
Wie froh ich dann bin
Und wenn ich einst tot bin
Sollst du denken an mich
Auch am Abend, eh du einschläfst
Aber weinen sollst du nicht
Auch am Abend, eh du einschläfst
Aber weinen sollst du nicht
The song "Alle Tage ist kein Sonntag" by David Garrett is a beautiful and poignant reminder that life is not always sunshine and grapes – there are days and times when life might not be as perfect as we want it to be. The lyrics suggest that even in tough times, we should be kind to each other, and if one of us passes away, we should still remember them fondly, but not let sadness consume us. The opening line, "Alle Tage ist kein Sonntag," translates to "Every day is not a Sunday," and expresses the idea that not every day is a day of rest and peace.
The following line, "Alle Tage gibt's keinen Wein," or "Every day is not a day for wine," suggests that we do not always have the luxury of enjoying the finer things in life. But despite the tough times, the singer asks their partner to be kind to them every day. The repeating last two lines of each verse, "Aber du sollst alle Tage, Recht lieb zu mir sein," or "But you should be kind to me every day," emphasizes the importance of love and kindness, especially during hard times.
The chorus of the song expresses a touching sentiment of remembering a loved one who has passed away without getting consumed by sadness. The singer asks their partner to think of them every evening before they go to bed, but not to cry. The final verse emphasizes that as one grows older and life becomes more challenging, it is important to remember the joyous moments and hold on to those memories.

Alle Tage ist kein Sonntag
Not every day is a day of rest and relaxation
Alle Tage gibt's keinen Wein
There are days when we don't have everything we want
Aber du sollst alle Tage
But you should always
Recht lieb zu mir sein
Be very loving to me
Und wenn ich einst tot bin
And when I am dead and gone
Sollst du denken an mich
You should remember me
Auch am Abend, eh du einschläfst
Even in the evening, before you fall asleep
Aber weinen sollst du nicht
But you should not cry
Und wird es dann dunkel
And when it gets dark
Graue Haare, grauer Sinn
Gray hair and fading spirit
Lass leuchten, lass leuchten
Let it shine, let it shine
Wie froh ich dann bin
How happy I am then
Aber weinen sollst du nicht
But you should not cry
Auch am Abend, eh du einschläfst
Even in the evening, before you fall asleep
Aber weinen sollst du nicht
But you should not cry
