“Bicycle Day” by Markus Nikolaus
From Germany comes an absolutely fantastic artist with an interesting concept, say hello to Markus Nikolaus with “Bicycle Day”. With this stunning blend of visuals and sounds, he offers ours senses an experience that is unlike anything else out there. The track flows with a supernatural ease that caresses our soul in a way that just makes us feel connected with what dwell inside it. There’s something about the soundscape that offers us more than just a song (as if that was nothing but marvelous already) and gives us a reality to explore and fall prey to.
His voice is dynamic and chameleonic, giving the track an extra dose of the unknown and making us easy targets for this magic. Plus the visuals, add to the already amazing experience and make “Bicycle Day” a natural addition to any and all playlists. So listen, see and simply let go as you fall down the rabbit hole into the realm of this must-listen/must-see gem. Enjoy!
“Bicycle Day is a playful and psychedelic song that was originally written during the 1st Berlin lockdown after a very long bike ride and under the influence of mind altering substances, together with my girlfriend Sara. As the inventor of LSD was riding his bicycle while experiencing the effect for the first time, which is historically and commonly known as “the bicycle day”, I thought it would be the most appropriate way to describe song and express the freedom of limbo we felt and the fear of future we held.
This sudden stop of literally any social life and live music performances and these very vage future promises, gave us this inexplicable drive to create music like we don’t care about anything but the purest outcome of it and take that beauty of doing nothing as an inspiration to create something amazing and accept along the way that sometimes in life – you cannot change anything about the situation you are in. And that it is ok to live with it in harmony instead of fighting it. Because only then, harmony will be given to you in return.“
