In the televoting of the final show on March 19, 2004 Max defeated nine other competitors (including established artists like Scooter or Sabrina Setlur). A majority of 92,95 % of all votes made him the German entry for the 49th Eurovision Song Contest in Istanbul, where he finished eighth with 93 points.
Thereupon the singer went back to school and passed his final high school examination, before teaming up with Raab once again to finish his self titled solo album in summer 2004. The record, a mixture of Funk, Soul and Pop in German and in English language, debuted at #1 on the German album charts and spawned the singles "Schwarz Auf Weiß", "Spür Dein Licht" and "Catch Me If You Can". From May to June 2005 Max then went on a club tour across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, before touring with Katie Melua.
Currently, Max is working on his sophomore album.
Let It Happen

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you can travel down every road
you ain't ever gonna change the weather
only time can make you know better
lost the fight way before it began
cuz when it's done you can't change the plan
what i want i might never get
but where i end up might be the best
sometimes you gotta let it go
to get it back again
so let it happen
let it happen
i'm gonna let it happen
cuz when i get so tired of trying it just happens
but you gotta let it happen
i'm gonna let it happen
it won't happen til i know
there ain't no need to put on a show
i've been tryin too hard i just need to let it happen
it won't happen til i learn
see some things just need to be earned
i've been pushing but i just need to let it happen
through with finding answers to all the questions in my head
sometimes you gotta let it go to get it back again
so let it happen
let it happen
let it happen
when i get so tired of trying it just happens
but ya gotta let it happen
i'm gonna let it happen
bridge:
there's a beat down underneath and it goes on
there's a natural flow that'll take you anywhere you wanna go
i've been shadowboxing now for the longest time
picture keeps changing so i just turn i just turn around
let it happen
let it happen
let it happen
when i get so tired of trying it just happens
let it happen
let it happen
The lyrics of “Let It Happen” by Max Mutzke portray the idea of letting go and allowing life to take its course. The song acknowledges that trying too hard to control or change the circumstances of life can be an exhausting and ultimately fruitless endeavor. The verses focus on accepting the inevitability of the passing of time and the acceptance that we cannot alter the weather or the natural flow of life. However, the lyrics also suggest that this doesn’t mean we should give up on our desires and goals altogether. Rather, we should let go of the need to control our paths and accept that the best outcomes may not always align with what we think we want. The chorus emphasizes the importance of surrendering to this idea and allowing events to unfold naturally.
The bridge of the song provides somewhat of a mantra for this approach, pointing out that life itself has a rhythm and a flow that will take us where we need to go if we allow it. The lyric “there’s a natural flow that will take you anywhere you wanna go” highlights the idea of letting go of our need for control and allowing the river of life to carry us to our destination. The repetition of the words “let it happen” throughout the song also reinforces this notion, acting as a reminder that sometimes the best course of action is to surrender and let life take the reins.
