Song Meaning of “Briefmarke” by Olli Schulz
“Briefmarke” is a melancholic folk song by German artist Olli Schulz. The song talks about the euphoric feeling of falling in love, like the excitement of sending a postcard: “A little piece of joy that arrives so quickly.”
The verses are filled with hope and longing, as Schulz croons about an exciting new romance and the desire to keep it going forever, and to keep the moments alive that they have together. At the same time, he also recognizes that this kind of love is transient, just like a postcard: He hopes for a little more time, but knows that it will eventually have to pass.
The chorus is an ode to the joy of finding someone special, but also a lament of its frailty: “A Briefmarke, a love postcard, can’t keep us together forever.” The song is a bittersweet reminder to cherish the moment while it lasts, and above all, to never take love for granted.
