about

“Wanderer” is the most recent song that made it onto the “Prophecies and Silver Linings” album, I wrote it in late summer 2021. It was my last day in Tenerife, my home, before moving to Germany. I was sitting on the couch with my parents making music and I was feeling so many things I couldn’t put into words. That was when “Wanderer” came to me, in 20 minutes I felt like my soul was pouring onto the strings, into my voice. And there it was, a song about saying goodbye - filled with hope and love for the people on my way. Writing it meant a lot, finding the words to say how much I love and appreciate the place I was leaving while knowing that it was time to go. Life is so unpredictable, and I went on to live the most unexpected and wonderful adventures in Germany, Switzerland and England that year. But this song stayed with me, kept me grounded and connected. It’s a reminder to be in the moment, to love fully and truly in the present - without being afraid of the distance the future might bring.

I played “Wanderer” over and over again on my journey. it became a closing song for my concerts, a way to say “I’m going now, but I am so happy I got to be here”. A way to stay connected to all the little havens I pass through. I returned home to Tenerife for Christmas and dad (Roger Keller) and I went into the studio together to work on the song. We tweaked the guitar, then I played it for the recording and sung on it. We quickly realized that we couldn’t add a lot to this one, it is meant to speak in its raw form. So my dad played the beautiful piano to elevate it a bit, I added some backing vocals, Uli Pfannmüller mixed everything together and Andreas Balaskas mastered it. In many ways it is the purest “Luna” song I’ve released, unfiltered and raw. And I really love this one. I’m sure it’ll be a great friend to me as I continue to search for my place in the world.

lyrics

Come on love
Please be good to me
‘Cause I’m sailing across the sea
Tomorrow I might be
Far from here
But right now you’re next to me

Oh the waves may come
Might take you along
Who are we to say?
Every wanderer
Finds old friends
Along the way
So we may

Come on love
Won’t you lend me your ears?
‘Cause I’m singing for you once more
Tomorrow I might be
Far from here
But today is all we live for

Oh the waves may come
Might take you along
Who are we to say?
Every wanderer
Finds old friends
Along the way
So we may

Return
To the fires
We burn
And sing old songs
Get the lyrics wrong
And remember the good old days

Now my love
Won’t you watch the embers glow?
‘Cause I’m singing for you once more
Tomorrow I
Might be far from home
But today is all we live for

about

Luna Keller Cologne, Germany

I'm a singer-songwriterholic who loves making indie folky songs and putting my soul on paper.

Music was part of my life, I remember listening to my parents doing music when I was little and singing along getting all the lyrics wrong. I was thirteen when I picked up one of my dad's guitars and 19 when I moved out to become a full time musician. I am so grateful to be on this path! ... more
