FOLK / POP

At times, Sarah Brendel wished she could have been on the road in the sixties - during the American folk music revival - to share that experience with artists like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. But lucky for us, Sarah makes music in our days and we can enjoy her unique style of folk music mixed with modern influences.
Sarah, daughter of parents who are both artist, grew up in the north of Germany. She started writing her own songs at the age of 16; she taught herself how to play the guitar, learned how to play the piano and started recording her own songs only one year later in a recording studio by the sea. Her unique style is characterised by her extraordinary voice. Wild mouth organ parts, forceful guitar play, her voice and the soothing melodies with her poetical lyrics are reminis-cent of her musical heroes from Great Britain and the USA. Sarah moves between the worlds of Folk, Indie, Rock, and Pop and cannot be pigeon-holed by any means. Whether it is Sarah by herself just with her guitar, or the whole band, whether quiet and contemplative, or loud and cranking – her music never fails to move the heart.
Sarah Brendel is one of the first German song writers to get a record deal in the USA. With her song “Fire“ she reached number 14 in the U.S. Billboard Airplay charts – a considerable achievement. For several months she lived in Nashville, Tennessee and played concerts all over the United States. In the last two years Sarah played more than 250 gigs in Germany and the USA and also on the Faroe Islands, in Scandinavia, Slovakia and Switzerland.

Sarah Brendel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nomore must you be afraid
Nomore must you be in pain
Nomore must you be allone

Cause he's on his feet to save you from all harm

Haven't you heard that you will never die

You're a thought without ending
Love's your companion
Moment eternal
You will never die

Nomore must you hide again
Nomore must you feel ashamed

Cause he's on his way to make everything new

Haven't you heard that you will never die

You're a thought without ending
Love's your companion
Moment eternal
You will never die

You are save in the valley
Light on a dark day
Child of the highest
You will never die

JESUS ANSWERED:
YOU'RE RIGHT IN SAYING I AM THE KING.
IN FACT FOR THIS REASON I WAS BORN
AND FOR THIS I CAME INTO THE WORLD TO TESTIFY THE TRUTH.
EVERYONE ON THE SIDE OF THE TRUTH LISTENS TO ME.

THEY FLOGGED HIM, PUT ON HIM A CROWN OF THORNS,
THEY STRUCK HIM IN THE FACE. THEY CRUZIFIED HIM.

IN HIM IS LIFE AND THAT LIFE IS THE LIGHT OF MEN.
THE LIGHT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS.

Nomore

Cause he stands in the way waiting for you

Overall Meaning

The song "No More" by Sarah Brendel talks about liberation from fear, pain, and loneliness through Jesus Christ. The singer assures the listener that they no longer have to live in fear, but rather trust in Christ who is waiting to save them from any harm. The lyrics mention the permanence of life and love, meaning that even though we die physically, we continue to exist in the minds and hearts of those who love us.

The songwriter uses religious images and symbols to convey the message of the song. The mention of the valley, which is a metaphor for difficult times, is a reminder that one is never alone as Jesus is always present as a companion. The line "You're a thought without ending" is a reference to the belief that our souls are immortal, and that love is the eternal force that connects us to God.

In the last verse, the lyrics refer to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ to illustrate how his death brought life and light to humanity. The idea is that even though Jesus underwent great suffering and pain, he did it out of love and compassion for others. This selflessness is a model that we can emulate to overcome our own struggles.
