AnnenMayKantereit’s light and playful acoustic pop hit “Jenny Jenny” is about a flight attendant who has traveled the world and lived the dream — but has it really made her happy?

This song is about the early stages of a relationship when everything is so wonderful and you hope it will last forever, but there's always this nagging feeling that it won't.

Coming home means realizing how much you've grown. And sometimes it means facing your past and the feelings that still linger.

This song is about processing the loss of a loved one.

The band AnnenMayKantereit from Cologne performs an unplugged version of their song "Nur wegen dir."

The signature sound of Cologne rock band AnnenMayKantereit is characterized by the unique, rough voice of lead singer Henning May. In "Du bist anders," the singers express desperation over a relationship. The partner is distracted and clearly, something's wrong – maybe there's someone else?

In "Ozean," Henning May, lead singer of the band AnnenMayKantereit, sings about the difficulty of leaving the past behind.

With slightly less angst than is normal for the band, the song "In meinem Bett" by German pop-blues group AnnenMayKantereit is simply about being in love.

Henning May's voice is simply unmistakable and sooo beautiful ... and the beat, mixed with Spanish rhythms, is absolutely catchy! Check it out!

Covered here by the band AnnenMayKantereit, this was originally a Russian folk song that was rewritten for the 1939 movie "Es war eine rauschende Ballnacht" ("The Life and Loves of Tschaikovsky") and sung by Swedish actress and singer Zarah Leander. After World War II, Zarah Leander became an icon of the gay rights movement with her ambiguous lyrics and smoky voice.

AnnenMayKantereit’s Henning May, known for his distinct throaty vocals, sings a wistful ballad about how interacting with certain objects causes deep memories to resurface.

"Drei Tage am Meer" (Three Days by the Sea) is a call to slow down once in a while and take a break from it all. This is a song about taking time out, about a little escape from everyday life, and finding yourself again—away from everyone else.

Take a peek at this simple but stunning video from German-Hungarian pop singer Anna Depenbusch. Released in 2012, it's from her fourth album and is entitled "Sommer aus Papier" [Paper Summer]. Viel Spaß!

For Anna, a beach loving geology student from the University of Technology, Munich, exploring foreign lands make for some of the most important experiences in life. Coming from a small village in Bavaria, she shows how everyone should get out there and see the world. While she sympathizes with those learning German, she recommends that everyone gives it a go.

Ann Doka and Band are a country band from, of all places, the Rhine-Main region in Germany. They have just released their third LP Could've Been Mine, so check out their surprisingly good Nashville-German sound!
