“Wolken” invites us on a seemingly carefree adventure—Let’s go somewhere, lie on our backs, and watch the clouds. Alin Coen sets a gentle, almost childlike scene of hand-holding and sky-gazing that feels light as cotton candy.
But these drifting clouds also hide shifting emotions. The singer senses her companion pulling away, puzzled by how hard it is to read what’s going on inside. When that person finally leaves, the promise of the beginning twists into a bittersweet goodbye, just as a bright day can turn overcast without warning. Still, the weather forecast offers hope: wolkig bis heiter—cloudy to clear. Coen reminds us that feelings, like clouds, are always moving; heartbreak fades, skies brighten, and we carry on beneath an ever-changing horizon.
