They say knockbacks, rejections and mistakes just make us stronger. The worst gig in the world tested this philosophy.

"If everything was super easy and I didn't have to face the odd bump in the road or difficult time, then I guess my resilience muscles wouldn't be in such good shape." - Jan Hellriegel 2019.

ON ICE III

Gentle sparkle so serene.

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

And a good friend took me there.

All I could do was stop and stare into this place,

This space.

Oh I, I'm on ice can't move anywhere.

And it's so cold here on ice.

The rune said you can not move.

You're weighted down by forces, which are hidden from view.

Take comfort that the time will come.

When you will thrash your arms in legs in all directions

And all will be forgiven.

Oh I, I'm ice can't move anywhere

And it's so cold here on ice.

On ice the ghosts go stalking.

They start to rearranging your mind.

They get your mind

And I've seen it and the sound that it makes.

Could turn the warmest blood into the coldest of crystal

If you would let it.

The hue of the place is such

That it could break your heart in two if you would let it.

But will you?

Will you?

Go down to the lakeside and search out the meaning.

Salvage what left you and start disbelieving.

Will you, oh will you go down

With me?

Oh I, I'm on ice, can't move anywhere.

It's so cold here on ice.

On ice.
