Kristian Valen, pura poesía

El humorista, actor, cantante, presentador y compositor Kristian Valen (octubre 1974) solo ha grabado un disco, con 10 canciones, en el año 2004. Sólo eso… pero ¿qué disco! “Listen when alone” fue lanzado internacionalmente en Europa y Asia obteniendo un gran éxito. Un disco que merece ser escuchado.

Con relación a este disco, Valen ha dicho:

“First of all: thank you for taking the time to listen to my music! This has been a dream of mine for many years. It has been, by far, my biggest and toughest journey ever! Why share my inner thoughts? In hope that someone… one person can relate and feel that he/she is not alone, and that dreams can come true and that you are stronger than you imagine!

It’s when you are at your weakest that you are closest to your true self This is when you should “listen” and look around you: see and feel the sun, see the skies changing it’s colour, see the love in the eyes of your family  and the ones you care about. Then close your eyes; feel the wind in your face, remember the ones you have lost, honour their memory by being all you can be!

Be true and honest to yourself! What is life if based on a lie? Don’t be afraid to tell someone close to you that you feel small, and that it’s hard to cope! The greatest gift you can give your loved one(s) is to show them that you trist them with your deepest fears.

Pursue your dreams –be yourself even though it will be tough at times! Many will try to hurt you and bring you down in your way, and you will question your course and have doubts about yourself many times. Don’t listen to them!

It’s better to create your own footsteps, than just walking one step behind and criticizing the one in front of you –making them for you. As long as you are true to yourself you can’t fail!

Remember: you are alive and you don’t have to answer to anybody but yourself! You have a purpose! Someday, somewhere, you will be rewarded by someone thinking about you and/or remember(ing) you with love!

Music and lyrics is like a photo/picture –they capture the moment. You may look back at old photos and feel a little ashamed and may be a bit foolish. But remember that when that picture was taken –it meant everything to you!”
