Many of his works are referential of his own experiences growing up and navigating his way through life and <strong><em>Asche Und Magnolien<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(Ashes and Magnolias) continues in this vein in an especially poignant way. In talking about how it came to be, Tim speaks of how time seemed to stand still since his father\u2019s early passing \u2013 not unlike the aftermath of a hurricane \u2013 and how the music gave the grief and loss he was experiencing a form of expression. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>The music gives everything a form. It connects the I which wants to be in the past with the I from today and establishes points of contact between everything that was and that is. The boy who I once was is also sitting at the piano and together we play pieces about the both of us and our father, about my younger self\u2019s dreams, our fears and our questions about life and death and mortality.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><cite>Tim Linghaus<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>On a personal note, I developed an appreciation for the album early in the year, but then losing a parent myself over the summer, I reconnected with it in an even more meaningful way. To my ear at least, Tim has an amazing ability to infuse tremendous empathy and vulnerability into his music without ever seeming contrived or overwrought. This is a very special collection of songs that will sit with me for some time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><strong><em>Asche und Magnolien
