The Linden tree has been a sacred tree in many cultures. It is sacred to both the Slavic and the Germanic peoples. In my home country of Austria, you will find many old linden trees in the centre of old villages because it was believed that a linden tree would bring harmony to the community. It was the tree under which the people were dancing but it was also a place of judgement (and it was thought that a judgment given beneath a linden tree would be more lenient). It is considered the tree of love as its leaves are heart-shaped. The German word "lindern" literally means "to soothe"....it is a healing tree.

I have always felt very connected to this tree especially through the bond that I had with my beloved Linden Tree outside of my window. Singing this song was remembering it´s beauty, and the many times that I had felt that this tree was humming to me.

If you wonder about the language that I sing it in, it is the "language of my soul" it is much more what I feel than what I could ever express with words.

Some of you will recognize the song,as this was the song that "brought" me to YT 2 years ago, but JIMSIM has now made my own film to it (thanks again very very much!!! Jimsim http://www.youtube.com/user/jimsim3 (o:) so I could upload it on my own channel and tell you its story.

Greetings to my french friends Guillaume and Marion in whose family garden this song "came to me".

I dedicate this song to healing and peace in our world!!!

    It is the tree of love and harmony (the german word "lindern" comes from the Lindentree)...I like the image of faires singing to the lindentree!!....I would understand....

  • Fairies sing their Lovesong to the Lindentree.And the magic of the tree gives Love and strength to their hearts.Could be possible.

  • Liebe Siggy, Du hast einen neuen Fan!... :-)
