KONSTANTIN WECKER - Der Liebe zuliebe
Konstantin Wecker
Der Liebe zuliebe – a literary-musical evening
Sometimes combative, sometimes reflective, sometimes gentle – always passionate: This is how the audience knows and loves the poet and musician Konstantin Wecker. He is not only a gifted songwriter but also an important voice of an entire generation. An unyielding admonisher and fighter against war and fascism. With his songs and texts, he has been advocating for justice and peace and for a more mindful, loving coexistence for many decades. With his new book Der Liebe zuliebe (bene! / Droemer Knaur) – Konstantin Wecker takes stock of his life.
Der Liebe zuliebe – a book about a lifelong quest: for meaning, for the "more than everything," for the great mystery, for love, for pathways to inner and outer peace. For Wecker, love is the key to a life that can flourish. And that the world becomes different, a better one.
In his new book, Konstantin Wecker also does not shy away from the dark times: depression, melancholy, alcoholism, drug highs, numerous crashes, delusions, anger, sadness. He writes about a decades-long search and a turning point at the abyss.
A moving book from the pen of one of the greatest song poets of our time, who time and again instills courage in tens of thousands of fans to believe in the good and to advocate for the good.
"I finally wanted to become the one I sing about in my songs: the tender one, the peaceful one, the loving one, the listening one. One who knows what is essential.
The daily meditation, the people who have supported me, the many good conversations, the music, wonderful texts of old mystics – they have done me good. Without returning to the power of spirituality, I probably wouldn't have managed to take a new path. I wrote this book to invite all those who struggle with similar problems and the question of the meaning of our existence to embark on a journey towards a more fulfilling life. Perhaps this book has also become a kind of first legacy in the advanced age of my earthly life... With sober eyes, I look at the essence of being and naturally have a desire and joy for the new and so much more. I have gratefully written a letter at the beginning to my long-deceased father."
