Clide - Lonely Heart Marathon - Tour 2025

In the organizer's words:

2025 sees the release of "lonely heart marathon", the new and first album by German-American artist CLIDE - a profound, unsparing examination of the emotional struggle for survival of today's generation.

In 17 songs, an intense universe of sound and lyrics unfolds, uncompromisingly dealing with inner turmoil, interpersonal failure and the challenge of not losing one's footing in an increasingly fast-paced world.

"lonely heart marathon" is more than just an album - it is an intimate record of a young artist in search of meaning, direction and self-acceptance. CLIDE is more vulnerable and approachable than ever before. It's about holding on and letting go, remembering and forgetting, failing and moving on. It is a marathon of the heart - an endless, arduous run through pain, doubt and hope. The title is no coincidence: each song is a milestone in this run, each track a mirror of an inner stage in which emotional endurance is put to the test.

Musically, the album moves in a field of tension between organic acoustics and modern sound elements, characterized by a nostalgic mix of 90s and early 2000s influences. Guitar, piano and subtle electronic textures form the basis for CLIDE'sunmistakable voice - sometimes gently broken, sometimes militantly clear, always authentic. The production bears a special signature, which is characterized by the close creative interaction with his long-time musical partner Sean Myer. Together they create a sound that oscillates between intimacy and expansiveness - minimalist, yet haunting, modern and yet timeless.

Thematically, "lonely heart marathon" deals with universal feelings: heartache, depression, guilt, self-doubt - but also hope, resilience and the quiet belief that things will somehow go on. It is this emotional honesty that makes the album so powerful and approachable. CLIDE talks about things that often go unspoken, giving a voice to many who are going through similar emotional struggles.

Each of the 17 tracks is a separate chapter, but together they tell one big story. A story about perseverance, about not giving up, even when all sense seems lost. The songs deliberately avoid dramatic exaggeration - instead, their strength lies in their authenticity, their immediacy and their courage to be vulnerable.

With "lonely heart marathon", CLIDE has created an album that not only impresses with its artistic maturity, but also with its credibility. It is a work that is not oriented towards trends, but has emerged from an inner need. It is music for people who feel, in all its complexity. For all those who sometimes feel lost. For all those who are currently running through their very own marathon of emotions. And in the end, one thing remains above all: consolation. Because if "lonely heart marathon" proves one thing, it is that we are not alone with our doubts, our sadness, our excessive demands. With this album, clide gives us a moment of pause and perhaps even a little bit of healing.
