Annett Louisan turns emotions into fashion items in "Das Gefühl". A sly, almost teasing Feeling creeps up “from behind,” wraps the singer in plush and velvet, and invites her to browse life as if it were a gigantic department store. Each new mood looks dazzling on the rack, but once tried on it pinches, scratches, or simply feels “too skurril, nicht mein Stil.” The result is comic buyer’s remorse: as soon as the Feeling drifts away, she laughs at herself for ever thinking it was a perfect fit.
Beneath the playful boutique imagery lies a clever reminder: we treat emotions like fast-fashion trends, yet life offers no returns. Louisan’s lyrics nudge us to quit endlessly “looking around” for the next big sentiment and start choosing what genuinely suits us. Authenticity, after all, never goes out of style.
