Since all other german fans seems to in holiday, I'll to send my first
mail to this group.

Kate sings: "Irgendwo in der Tiefe gibt es ein Licht", which means "
Somewhere in the depht there is a light".

I remember that she said in an interview, that german sounds very
dramatic, so thats maybe why she used german in this song.

By the way: Her german in this song is excellent and without any accent
( very much improved since Coffee Homground ).
