I happened to find a video of "I Lost Something in the Hills" in my YouTube recommendations about a week ago, and that song, as well as "Forget About", have struck a chord in me that hasn't been strung since I rediscovered "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd a couple of years ago. Your music has a profound grasp of melancholia that rivals the works of those whom we consider the "masters" of such music, at least here in the US. R.E.M., Lana Del Rey, and Johnny Cash are a few who come to mind.
I am in my second semester of senior year in college, so I've been thinking a lot about the transition from student into adulthood and the working life. I also have been coming to grips over the past few years with the fact that my childhood/adolescence is over. Like, it happened, it's all just a collection of memories now. Those high school memories people joke about in sitcoms and adult cartoons? I finally have my own repertoire of material.
Like, wow. How mind-trippy is that?
And here I am, about to move onto the next thing, and college will feel to me in a few years like high does for me now. So many things I could have done better, so many things I have done well, it's all so short...
And now I know what my parents meant when they said that the years fly by for them; the years are only going to get faster, aren't they? It won't be long before I grow weak, grey, maybe a bit pudgy. It won't be long before it is my parents who are retired and preparing for themselves for death, to fall beneath the wheel. It won't be long before I'm in their tracks.
I think it's alright, though. Songs like yours remind me that it's going to be okay, that I should remember to treasure what I have and have had. I am very future-sighted, so I can lose perspective of these things quite easily.
It has been bittersweet to reminisce a lot about college this past week. I have a good thing here. I'm sure I'll figure out a good thing for what comes next. I hope you have a good thing too.
Thank you, Sibylle

Dear Sibylle,
Your voice comforts me like no other and it has been a glimmer of light in the darkest of nights. Eternally grateful to you and the gift that is Colour Green.
All my love.

I LOVE U SO MUCH SIBYLLE ! thank u so much and have a nice day 🙂
I stumbled across your work, and it's a fascinating experience, fantastic job and a treasure. You're just simply amazing.
Years and years was passed and i can't stop listening your music, dear Sibylle. I'm constantly traveling around differents kind of genres but i always come back to your music. Because you give me so much confort in my darkest times since 2014. I don't know but maybe you saved my life in a few moments.
The beauty I heard in your music really touched me, Sibylle. As a music writer, I've been struggling with matching the sound of my music to the tone of my writing. As a 20 y/o, I am struggling with better meshing my emotions into my writing. I discovered your album this weekend, and each song brought me to a new memory that I had myself. The way your music opened my eyes, it brought such a graceful melancholy to my thought process. To describe what it felt like: it was as if I had caught the eyes of a deer in the woods, and it stood with me to study each other's eyes, as if it understood, for what seemed like eternity. The song 'I lost something in the hills' is the only song I've ever heard that connected complicated emotional ties to a space in such a personal way. The isolating aspects surrounding nature are beautifully presented in that song as well. I'd love to hear and read it all. I hope you all are doing well.
Thank you so much, Sibylle! Thank you for making music that can help rest a tired mind but also exercise an eager one. Putting me to sleep and waking me up. Much love!
In love, enchanted, mesmerized by Sibylle's music. Thank you for capturing such gorgeous energy.
I am so happy I stumbled across your music. One of the most pure and beautiful voices. I am sitting here listening to Forget About on repeat and crying at my desk. You are simply a treasure. Thank you for sharing your voice with the world. It's better because of it. Love from Phoenix, Arizona!
Dear Sibylle,
I really love your music. Thank you for sharing your voice with me. I am an artist living in the United States. Please take time to know my work through my site: noebadillo.com. Let me know if you ever need an artist for an album cover.

I'm in love. Thank you a lot!
I've had Sibylles song "Forget About" floating about my head for a while now, but recently I decided to give the album a proper listen and I'v been deeply moved for a few days now while I have the "Colour Green"playing on repeat
The whole aura that contains this production it's so incredible. So glad this is my firts music discover of the year.
She's so amazing!
She's so amazing!
I stumbled upon your music thru Spotify and it is haunting but in a good way. A peaceful time warp, thank you.
Please tell Sibylle that her songs fell like home to me, thank you so much <3
Oh what a beautifull magic in this music. It´s so impressive to read the comments of all those people touched by something in this beautifull music. Listening to this music makes feel very sensitive. That is more than feeling happy or sad. It´s the connection with something essential. Thank you very much!
I've just tonight heard 'I Lost Something In The Hills' & time stood still....it's very rare that a song does that to me these days...simply beautiful. Art is it's own reward, those who decry their talent because it isn't reward in the market place do themselves a terrible disservice. Art is its own reward. Creating and listening rewards of its own accord.
Dear Sibylle
Many Greetings to you
Many Greetings to you
Dear Sibylle, I found you from the interview with Robert Pecknold, who told that "Colour Green" is his fav album. Now mine too 🙂 All the best from Ukraine and thank you for you.
Found Colour Green through Tim Burgess book. Took a chance and had the vinyl sent to my village in northern England from Kentucky.
It's a beautiful album!
What a gift to the world.

Thanks for setting up this site. Sibyelle's music is gorgeous.
Sibylle's music is beautiful and haunting. Glad to have found it.
in awe of talent and feeling
I was born in 1960. But I never heard of Sibylle before today, 23-11-2018. How can this be? I never heard her music .... but oh my, this is really beautiful !!! The End, Softly, Remember the day. I just don't believe it, how can this have been hidden for such a long time?
It's silly it took this long for people to really listen. You are beautiful. Be proud.
I just want to send some love your way, power to Sibylle, the people she loves, and the people who love her. I adore the music she's made and I wish for her happiness.
I loved a girl with my whole heart. I still do. I think about her every second of every day and I will keep thinking about her for the rest of my life. She was the person who introduced me to Sibylle's hauntingly beautiful voice and I've been listening her songs since then.
She is not with me anymore and I can't do anything but wish her happiness. I know that she will find her happiness with others and not me. I won't lie, losing her love has sent me into a dark place and I didn't know how to cope with it. Then I started to listen, and I mean really listen, not just let it play in the background while I do stuff, your mother's songs. I cried at first. I felt sad, broken and torn apart. But then I started to feel peaceful. Sibylle's voice was gentle like a mother's touch and she made me feel... at home. She made me realise how sadness is necessary, that without it we couldn't possibly understand the true worth of gentleness and peacefulness. Her voice pulled me out of the deepest pits of my depression and for the first time in my life I felt calm. I still am. I can't thank her, and you for that matter, enough.
Sibylle's songs are now the background music of my life and my memories with the girl I love are blessed with her voice. I will forever cherish her memories instead of mourning and that's because your mother showed me how.
Thank her for me.

I just discovered your voice, dear Sibylle, and these fantastic songs on this sunnny autumn morning. Beutiful, moving and inspiring! Thanks a lot, also to your son, und herzliche Grüße aus Köln, Ulrich
I'm a Turkish listener of you. I dont know what you're thinking when you making your songs, I loving your colour green album like all of your other listeners sir. I'm writing it because I hope you smile when someone is show this to you. Thank you !
Just found Sibylle's music by chance and am completely smitten.
hank you to Sibylle, for baring your soul & recording your music, and thank you to Robby, for taking the time to share her beauty with the world.
This is absolutely beautiful.

Well, from where I come from there's isn't much time for dreaming and small pleasures, but in your songs Sibylle I can feel those simple pleasures of life; so vividly. Whenever I hear your song, Tonight, I imagine myself going back home one day to someone, whom only the sight of him sitting by the kitchen window will give me joy. You give me hope, that there's a simpler, more beautiful life out there, and I might just find it one day.
I too was born in 1955. My daughter who is 23 and I share music all the time. She just came into the back porch here in Pepper Pike Ohio and played this timeless music for me and asked when I thought it was written, andI guess right. Everything about this site puts me in a place I lived in then. Spiritual. Melancholy. A place that I love to remember and almost revisit. Thank you.
I discovered Colour Green a handful of years ago and its been a go to on grey days ever since. Thank you for creating something so beautiful
Just wanted to thank you for doing what you do, Sibylle, and thank the people that put this site together, anyone involved with helping to spread your music. There is something mysterious that I can't put a finger on about Colour Green. It really is an incredible work. Cheers!
Sibylle, I discovered your music when I was going through a difficult time and your music brought me to tears. In a good way. Thank you.
Sibylle, I discovered your music not so long ago, your voice fills me with indescribable emotions.... It makes me want to cry, but at the same time it's as peaceful as can be. It's like I have heard these in my past life and they bring back so much memories and emotions back. Also, writing this with 'Forget About' playing in the background. Bless you for your existence in this world, much love.
Sibylle, your music is so beautiful. I listen to "Tonight" on car rides home on windy roads at night. I lay on the floor and listen to "The End" and let myself cry for a little while. I'm so glad Color Green found me.
With love and light

eu te amo!
I remember when the album came out, how much of an impact it had on me. And throughout the past decade I've listened to it sporadically, always "rediscovering" it. And that's what happened now - I have freshly fallen in love with it again, so powerfull and fragile all at the same time - it really makes my heart flutter a bit, surrounded by butterflies. My current infatuation is "Remember The Day". I know you'll never read this Sibylle, but just so that the world know; thank you!
Bless you for your song "Tonight". For your work. Bless you for your sake.
You've touched my heart like a mother, there's no other sound like yours. I hope to meet you one day Mrs. Baier. Your music has and will forever stand the test of time. Try to make sound in the next life; I'll be listening.
Oh. also. I have a selfish little hope that you don't get too popular, because I like having a special delight all to myself.
But go ahead and get real famous if that's what you want.

Wow. This is amazing, and also you, Sibyllle. I'm in love with your music. You have me feeling just...wow. This is really special. I keep discovering little treasures like this, and this may be the best one yet. Well, anyway, all I wanted to say was thank you. I really love this.
Sometimes when my dreams stay dreams, I feel as though I must escape the reality of a sombre situation. To turn to a device and find something so beautifully lament yet solicitous in its intent. This was a true discovery, your a wonder to the ears. I'll hold you close for those times of need. I remain optimistic that your living a well lived dream of your own. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this. I’m currently working on the f# minor nocturne! they’re beautiful pieces. Afte completion of this, I would go for guitar lessons.
Don’t get me wrong, you have to be strong and confident to be successful in just about anything you do – but with music, there’s a deeper emotional component to your failures and successes. If you fail a chemistry test, it’s because you either didn’t study enough, or just aren’t that good at chemistry (the latter of which is totally understandable). But if you fail at music, it can say something about your character. It could be because you didn’t practice enough – but, more terrifyingly, it could be because you aren’t resilient enough. Mastering chemistry requires diligence and smarts, but mastering a piano piece requires diligence and smarts, plus creativity, plus the immense capacity to both overcome emotional hurdles, and, simultaneously, to use that emotional component to bring the music alive.
Before I started taking piano, I had always imagined the Conservatory students to have it so good – I mean, for their homework, they get to play guitar, or jam on their saxophone, or sing songs! What fun! Compared to sitting in lab for four hours studying the optical properties of minerals, or discussing Lucretian theories of democracy and politics, I would play piano any day.
But after almost three years of piano at Orpheus Academy, I understand just how naïve this is. Playing music for credit is not “easy” or “fun” or “magical” or “lucky.” Mostly, it’s really freakin’ hard. It requires you to pick apart your piece, play every little segment over and over, dissect it, tinker with it, cry over it, feel completely lame about it, then get over yourself and start practicing again. You have to be precise and diligent, creative and robotic. And then – after all of this – you have to re-discover the emotional beauty in the piece, and use it in your performance.

I just want to add to the love. I first discovered Sibylle's music several years ago, when Colin Meloy (of The Decembrists) put "I lost something in the hills" on a playlist for his kids' novel Wildwood. I've been hooked ever since. I let some times go by when I don't list to Sibylle's music so that i can discover it anew. This is my first time coming to the website, so I'm very moved by all the pictures and new-to-me music. Thank you so much!!
This music is so timeless. I hope your life is as beautiful as your music. Thank you.
much love to all. good to be alive
Hi, a fan from Thailand here. I am absolutely in love with Sibylle's music. Really looking forward to more :D!
Beautiful singer! Wish more people knew about her.
I love the album the colour green, it brings me to tears, it makes me laugh. It works me through so many emotions, The vocals are so touching, the voice is divine to the human senses, would love to meet the woman responsible for this simple master piece which is a total Trophy. Good job with your life Sibylle, you did amazing.
Lot of love!
Since I first heard this album during high school, it's significance has grown in my life, and in turn, I feel as though I have grown around it. These songs have shaped me to who I am today, who I strive to be, and to see the world for a place I want to belong in. Most importantly these songs have taught me about the strange beauty of motherhood, sadness, and time, and their meanings have unfolded for me as I have lived alongside them. This album has acted as a sun for me, a point to which I return time and time again, and which reminds me of all that I love. Thank you, Sibylle Baier, for your songs, which resonate within us in a way that feels something like Remembering.
I am sitting here listening to Forgett looking out the window at my first snow fall. I am enamored in the delicacy of the snow and mesmerized by your voice. Thank you.
I come from a dysfunctional childhood. Your songs, particularly 'Forget About', helps me withstand the hurt that I am to overcome. Like two arms ever open, I can come back to them, finding safety and warmth as I listen. Thank you, Sibylle. I hope life is treating you well. Take care, N.
Hello.
I love your songs, they are so nice, amazing.
They make me forget my problems, they bring back a sense of freedom, happiness and hope.

Thank you.

I just discovered Sibyelle's album "Colour Green" from a random Youtube video linked on Facebook, and I gotta say I was so enamoured with what I heard! Robbie, please thank your mom for recording such an incredibly soulful record. She, as well as you, deserve all the good things to come out of releasing her music to the world. It would've been such a shame if the reel remained undiscovered by you! And also, thanks for putting it out through Orange Twin. They, along with Elephant 6, are just such great people. Take!

Sibylle's music has moved me beyond words, I have never heard such beauty, thankyou for creating something so incredible
I love Sybille's music, I'm writing a novel about her. She is an inspiration to me. Greetings from Mexico
I grew up in Washington (born in 1979) and remember Sibylle a bit from my childhood. It wasn't until my friend Sarah Lee Guthrie sang a cover of "Tonight" that I realized that Sibylle was such a talented singer and songwriter. I still see musician friends throw her name around and talk about "Colour Green," which is lots of fun to see. I hope she's well. My own parents have moved to Pittsfield now and I live in ReykjavĂk, Iceland, so I rarely make it up to Washington - but try to visit The Dreamaway when I can!
very grateful for the recordings and the availability of Colour Green. it gives us a glimpse of incredible songwriting, artistry, and performance and it is wholly heartwarming and humbling to experience.
LOVE HER <3
Beautiful voice delivering poetry of the heart. So deeply happy I found your work and hope for more, greedy I am.
eine wunderschöne Spur hast du da hinterlassen, aber sich dafür zu entscheiden eine Familie großzuziehen finde ich gut...., und im Netz nicht präsent sein zu wollen auch....; alles gute Dir und den Deinen
This is fresh and real and original. Love every line of every song!
Sincere appreciation for making this available to us. Close to the heart.

Hi Sibylle, Just discovered the album. Great,beautiful voice. It brings me back to the 70's but sounds fresh, as good poetry always does with an eternal quality.
I've been listening to this album on and off for the past year. The songs are so beautiful and I'm so pleased to have found it. Thank you. xxx
I'm so happy that I discovered your beautiful tunes, I know that I'll cherish them for as long as I live.
Thank you and lots of love from Montenegro!

I just discovered your music through spotify, and I am so in love
Your music is delicate and beautiful. Colour Green has been a constant favorite of mine for years now through good and bad times, and I still listen regularly. Thank you for sharing something so wonderful that brings so much joy to people like me.
I have been a fan since hearing The End a couple of years ago. I made a comment at that time about naming our child Sibylle if it was a girl... well it was a boy. One month ago we finally gave birth to a little girl who is named Sibylle Pinkie. You have such a beautiful voice and are amazingly talented. Thank you for your songs and music and thank you for the raw, delicious and sometimes perplexing sounds that have worked their way into my soul. I hope my Sibylle is as talented as you Sibylle.

wonderful music that resonates deeply within me. thank you for showing me a new side to myself
Sibylle, I have just been turned on to your music which I am completely captivated by. Just wanted to let you know you that you have a new fan that appreciates and thanks you for the gift of your music. Glad you have such loving family that cares so much to keep sharing news on your behalf 🙂
Sibylle, greetings from Nashville, TN! I've been so enjoying listening your album this afternoon. I'm transported and comforted. Thank you to you and Robby for putting out your beautiful works.
I love you and I love Colour Green. I hate how I can't explain exactly how much it means to me and how it's carried me through so many things. I've tried but I can't. The gravity of this album is incredible. Thank you. <3
Thanks for making beautiful music that goes beyond the music.
Just discovered Sibylle, beautiful sounds <3
I'm a fourteen your old girl who has grown up in this odd new world. I was fortunate enough to have a beautiful childhood, but unfortunately, now, the teen years for us have become full of this awful corruption. All innocence is involuntarily lost. Listening to this makes me feel innocent again. It's the most amazing gift. Thank you so much. You have unwittingly become a mother to me❤️
I like when I forget to listen to your music for a while, and then I remember to again...
Photos! I need to know what this amazing voice looks like
Just discovered this and all I can say is Wow! It's so beautiful, haunting, and timeless. So happy you shared her music with the world. It's like finding treasure at the end of a rainbow. Hope your mom is doing great these days and handling the much deserved recognition for her work. Thank you!
Segued from Vashti Bunyan on Youtube to this sublime realisation of Sibylle's oeuvre, truly gorgeous....
Thanks for sharing your old gifts of music that still seems fresh. Peace. <3
I love to sit outside on nice evenings and enjoy Colour Green. Every time I listen to this album I wonder how somebody could write music and lyrics that fit so well together yet are so rich and explorable. It is such a treasure, and I hope that the Baier family shares more of Sibylle's art very soon.
Heard the album today, inspired me to write my new song. Thank you for the inspiration, it is good to know there are still honest people indifferent to ambition out there!
I recently discovered Colour Green and already I have fallen in love with your music. I hope to hear more from you in the future.
Best wishes and all desires, Adelin.

Thank you Sibylle
Komme gerade aus dem Urlaub aus Palermo, gestern den Film Palermo Shooting gesehen. Sensationeller Film, mit noch begeisterndem Soundtrack. Bin auf dein Lied gestoĂźen und jetzt bei deiner herausragenden CD angekommen. Wie kann es sein, dass diese CD aus den 70ern ist und keine weiteren folgten. Please, your Story must go on.
Thank you so much. Best regards Stefan

So glad to have been introduced to your music. I'm so glad it made its way to the public.
Such a beautiful album
You have written such powerful poetry. Thank you.
Hello Sibylle! Thank you so much for creating your music and sharing it for us all to listen to! The world is a better place because of your work. It is so gentle and truly resonates with my soul and many others too.
Sibylle your music is so comforting, listening to Colour Green is an out of body experience. I listen to it all the time, whether I'm feeling happy, sad, or just neutral. Thank you for sharing such an amazing album!
A jewell, thank you so much Sibylle
Come un leggero vento di poesia portato da una voce semplice e bella.
Tutta la mia gioia e il mio piacere.
Buona Vita. 🙂

Sibylle, I just heard your music for the first time a week ago. It resonates with me so deeply. I'm a painter, have two young sons and have found more and more green working it's way into my work. It's a wonderful to feel in sync with another artist. Universal rhythms. Love and thanks for sharing your work.
Hello Sibylle,
I came across your music and films around eight years ago, and they have remained a constant source of comfort and pleasure. Like sitting in the sunshine. Thanks for sharing.

I recently discovered Sibylle's album and just wa Ted to say how much I love it!
Colour Green is my favorite album. She is in my heart always
Thank you, just thank you, for sharing with us the wonderful music of your mom. If you could only say to your mother how her music has changed my life, I will be so happy.
Thank you dear Sibylle, so much...
Thank you dear Sibylle, so much...
Sibylle, Tonight, your wonderful song, has been my favorite for such a long time. I'd like to cover it on an album!
It's great to be able to listen to this mother-and-son venture. Great sensitivity, lyrics and guitar work! Does Sibylle both sing and pick the guitar? Awesome!
Your music is so incredibly beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us.
Sibylle -- my friend showed me your album a few months ago because he's very familiar with the style of music I like. Your songs are so beautiful, and the low guitar tuning is so haunting. I play fingerstyle guitar in a low tuning as well, and have taken to covering "Forget About" for live shows. I hope I can hear new music sometime in the future. You really, really should try to do it. Might I suggest a gofundme? There would be worldwide support.
about 8 years ago I stumbled upon Colour Green; 8 years have passed and my life is completely different. However the music still seems to hit my soul directly.
a modern classic.

Dear Sibylle, you have created a timeless form of artistic expression, so delicate and inspiring. Thank you.
Dear Sibylle, your music fills the cracks of my soul! 'Tonight' is amazing in all it's simple complexity. Thank you for writing these songs and thank you Robby for sharing them with the world. I'm extremely grateful I came across them, I won't forget the feelings these songs stir in me! Best wishes from Australia 🙂
Dear Sibylle, your music fills me with such joy and peace. I feel my anxiety leave my body every time I listen to your beautiful songs. xoxo
Your music is so gentle and sincere, I feel connected to my soul when I listen. Thank you and hope you continue to write and play.

I heard her songs in 2915 when I was walking through the whole way to go back to home. The smokey sandy voice was sending to my ear while I saw the views across the road. I changed my phones for twice from 2015 to 2016, but every time the first thing for me to do is downloading sibylline Bauer's songs in my phone. When I get homesick, I am grateful to hear her songs which curing the pain. Thanks for the beautiful and unique music. The greeting from China.
beauty & purity I find it. It is just what I need to hear at the moment thank you so much Sibylle... for you sharing these songs with us, and Robby thank you for sharing it online. greetings and love from the Netherlands.
I'm korean fan of Sibylle Baier..( I am rock musician in South Korea. Our band name is The Kynicos. https://www.facebook.com/thekynicos/) After I've heard colour green, it feels like some kind of magic comes into my mind.. and it deeply touched my heart.. .it was amazing experience. I will often recommend her music to my Korean friends. I hope her simple and sincere music will become more famous in the future because her wonderful music deserves full respect. Let her music last forever. Thank you. 🙂
Thank you Sibylle! Ciao from a rainy Italy 🙂
I'm so glad I heard about this album. Listened to it, from beginning to end, in one sitting. I don't know how to describe how her voice, lyrics, and guitar affects me. Everything is amazing and makes me want to write more. Thank you for making her gift available to us, as well.
My jaw hit the floor when I first heard Sibylle this year. Pure genius. Thank you.
I just love her voice! Thank you, Robby, for sharing this beautiful music with us!
I discovered Sibylle about 5 years ago on Pandora. One of my top 5 fave cd's. Right there beside Linda Perhac's Parallelograms.
A friend sent me one of Sibylle's songs. I think it was Tonight, or maybe I Lost Something in the Hills . I'm not sure which one was, maybe it was a different one.... Considering that I listened to all of the Colour Green album after the track he sent I'm not sure what I listened first. To be honest some tracks I listened thrice, even more, before checking the next one.
It was an unique experience, I didn't know if I should listen to the next songs or if I should listen again and again to the ones I already had listened.
The sincere, intimate and might I say cozy atmosphere of the lyrics, the songs and that her voice a evokes is something I seldom feel while listening to music. It is truly a joy to be able to experience it.
Best regards from Brazil.

Anyone interested in reading a very recent interview with Sibylle Baier might be interested in Dynamite Hemorrhage fanzine #3, in which I interview her vis-a-vis Robby (thanks, Robby). It's available here. http://dynamitehemorrhage.bigcartel.com/product/dynamite-hemorrhage-3
I am testing to see if the new guestbook functions properly. And I love Sibylle Baier!
I am so in love with yours Sibylle's songs. I'm 21 years old and that
songs simply touched my soul. I was interesting in that if Sibylle is still
alive (cause there wasn't any older photos on the Internet) and then I found your page. I read that she is not interesting in what her music do in many places of the world. I regret that I can't know what each of that songs have meant to her when she was singing them first time - many
years ago. I think that despite the time that has passed this music is
still alive. I am still thinking about "I Lost Something in the Hills" which is my favourite one. I would like her to know that those songs are very important to me and I found words in them that mean a lot to me. "Life is short but love is old" is so true.

Hello.
Is your mother still singing these days?
Thanks for sharing her amazing songs!

I heard 'Forgett' today on WFMU, Jersey City & truly loved the music, your voice, your way of expression. I will look for more of your work! Cheers!
I just found Sibylles music while putting together a list for my friend who is leaving to study in the US (we live in sweden) and I found her song tonight very beautiful and haunting. There is an ocean of folk music out there but it is rare to find something so beautiful and ernest. So tell her thank you for the music (ABBA pun had to go there, but seriuosly though thank you!) and I'm happy for the web page thanks Robbie!
I found Sybille Baier's music when listening through stuff by Nick and Molly Drake on the net and was totally dragged emotionally into every single sound of her beautiful voice, that seems to be sad and smiling at the same time, dragged into this overwhelming peace, beauty and tenderness. Very special songwriting too. Einfach begnadet und groĂźartig. "Softly" is unbelievable! Thank you, Robbie Baier, for publishing your mum's songs. Best wishes for you and your family.
These songs are so beautiful I could cry. Thank you for creating this website. I hope she will make another album.
I spent last autumn listening to Colour Green on train and at home, in the evening. It always created such a cosy, soothing atmosphere. I still listen to it very often and it helps me cope with depression. Sorry, I've never been good with words. Sibylle says it all: Sadness is beautiful. Thank you so much!
I have listened to and loved Sibylle's album for going on 10 years now! It sounds like she's moved past it all now, but please encourage her to consider releasing more music. 🙂 Love from Texas
I've just come across Sibylle Baier through spotify. It's so lovely. Inspiring and beautiful.
Beautiful. Heartbreaking. Powerful
I found your mom by pure magical accident. I was needing her sweet melodic voice without knowing that I needed it. I've had Colour Green on repeat for the last week. Her songs speak to me in a way that music hasn't done in a long while. I can only say that I am so glad that you compiled these recordings for the rest of the world's enjoyment, even to your mother's bemusement. haha! Again, thank you thank you thank you. They're all my favorite.
i've been listening to baier for some years now, but just recently learned about her story. i can't believe the world almost missed this... thank you so much, robby, for sharing your mother's beautiful work with us.
Deeply beautiful. I feel a great identification, a warmth, in her songs. They are like old photographs full of feelings. They are a great inspiration for my photography.

Sibyelle your music creates a loneliness but makes it beautiful. Everything about your music is art in its purest form. I've been searching for an album such as yours for a long time I it's very difficult to describe the beauty of it I guess I should end there.
Honestly, I'm buzzed from a night of drinking. My girl and I have been fighting and this music is so damn good for it. Well at least it's good for me. As far as she is concerned, i don't really give a damn.

Truly sublime and wonderful music. Sibylle sounds like Leonard Cohen as a woman.
I can't explain how Sibylle's music makes me feel, it's like I'm floating in some kind of remote and melancholic cloud while I warmly cry. I wish I could meet her. Greetings from a 18 years old girl from Argentina (South America), who's just met an amazing and singular artist that makes me understand what's really important in this life.
I just found your mother´s record on the web and I just wanted to say it is so beautiful, so close and intimate, so effortlessly aesthetic. If you have a chance, tell her people in Mexico love her music and are very thankful for her creations!
Thank you for the beautiful music you recorded. It's very beautiful and Sibylle you're truly an inspiration. Peace and Light to you and your family!
What a discovery! The music of Sibylle Baier is hauntingly beautiful! Timeless...I feel a kindred spirit...would love to meet you...

I love Sibylle so much. I am so thankful to know her. She helped me so many times that I cannot believe. I wanna learn her birthday date.
Sibylle baier's voice spoke to my soul and her music touched me deeply. I'm thankful I stumbled onto her beautiful music

My adult son sent me a link to Colour Green....Wow!! Poetry to my ears, and heart. Plan on listening to much more. Thank you and have a wonderful evening.

Brilliant. Really can't stop listening...found you through a friend at the Nick Drake Forum...appropriate, as comparisons would not be far fetched.
A DJ friend loves the Sibylle I've shared with him. We all hope for more music from the lovely Sibylle...someday soon!

I remember being about 15 in 2006 and listening to Remember the Day. I think I actually had a MySpace account purely so I could play her songs on my page!
Anyway, I still really love listening to The Colour Green. Tell you mum, thank you for the music, it's still my go-to album if I want some peace and space away from work!

I stumbled upon the song "The End" and was amazed at the sound of Sibylle's voice and the pure raw sound of the music. I then found my newest favorite song of all time..."Softly". Thank you Sibylle. My wife and I are having a baby and we have decided that if it's a girl her name will be Sibylle.

Hi. I discovered Sibylle's music when I was 16 and now I'm 25. I don't know why I bought that album, but I have been in love ever since. It's been a refrain throughout some of the most formative years of my life. Please make sure Sibylle knows that she's part of my life, sort of an emotional interpreter for me.
Your mother is a great and remarkable woman, thanks a lot for sharing. Love.
Also, does she write her music out before she records it? I was wondering about the structure of her songs. I have been plucking them out on the piano but it is so strange to me. I can seem to replicate it.
Hi. My name is Simon Peters. I discovered your mother's music about a week ago. I am a musician myself! Not as well accomplished, clearly, but I would love to learn to write like her! I want to learn!

These days my friend was wearing a hand-made t-shirt written "Sibylle Baier". I asked him who whas that person, and here I am listening to her songs and loving each one of them.
Heard "tonight" in the movie Drinking Buddies. I had to look it up right away. Amazing voice. I had no idea this music was recorded so long ago because this is what a lot of artists are trying to do now still. Amazing. So peaceful and relaxing.

Sibylle's music touches my heart and soul in a way that so very few artists ever have. The moment I heard her voice, I fell in love. I've listened to her album nearly every day since I discovered it. I only wish there were more of her music out there.
It's comfortable to listen to your mom's music. Glad to meet her voice and special atmosphere through her song.
BTW, the design of this website is comfortable too.

I fell asleep listening to a musician by the name of Keaton Henson. Youtube autoplayed through multiple albums of random artists and then i woke to the voice of Sibylle Baier and I fell in love and I can't get enough!
Sibylle, you're a modern Sylvia Plath, if not more amazing! I'd love and adore for you to come back into the music scene!!! We need some live videos!

"I lost something in the hills" is so intense. Thank you Sybille Baier.
une découverte précieuse.. une voix belle de nuit..hypnotique ou tragique qui vous suit jusqu'au petit jour ..quelques photos si belles..et puis ce prénom Sybille qui vous va si bien ,car il y a là quelque chose de divin..merci!
Softly is my favourite song of the album. Great job doing this for your mother.
heard her on WFMU "Give the drummer radio" and went to iTunes to purchase.
I'm very excited as regards the preparation of the future songbook !
Thanks for sharing this last song I hadn t heard yet "let us know" It s amazing ! Also how about this new album you wanted to make with unreleased songs ? Is it still on ?
Love her voice, love her songs. I'm absolutely perplexed with her song "The End". Magical voice, really. Cheers from Brazil.
Deeeeeeeply in Love.
I stumbled upon "the end" today totally by chance...it's a great song. thanks
Your mother's music is so enjoyable and relatable that I had to find this site and comment, in the hopes that you would tell her that I adore that album. She has a gorgeous voice, and is brilliant poet.
Thank you for making such beautiful and inspiring music.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful music
I was amazed by her songs, i first heard them a few months ago, and I thought she was a young girl with very original ideas... It instantly reminded me of Leonard Cohen's first albums, or Nick Drake´s... Congratulations! You have an Amazing Mom! Very talented and sensible. I hope, if she has more material, that it will sometime soon be released. Cheers!
Thank you for the music !
I listen the album and i is very good. really awesome. http://www.findmovers.in
Found Sibylle songs yesterday on youtube. Great lyrics and great music.
I am from Costa Rica, and I am profundly touched by your songs, if you could just imagine the feelings that took over me when I first listen to your grandiose masterpiece "I Lost Something On The Hills"... I have kept the song as a favorite for long time, but since english is not my first language I didn't crave the lyrics for long time, until today. I must say that your album overall is for me one of the top 5 female fronted folk acts of all times. I hope that if you could release another album of house recordings, nothing fancy as it is not needed for you, I could listen to it and fell the swift from the 70's to nowadays, I am pretty sure that you have made yourself of a lot of good poems along the years. I am happy that you exist and released that album. Thanks for making my life sublime.
wonderful wonderful music I would like any updates, etc.
Its beautiful, its nothing, you made me forget about. Touched
Greetings from Turkey! I am a true amateur, only recording covers (if interested: soundcloud.com/isinekin ). I adore Sibylle's songs, I wish you could publish the chords because I couldn't find the sheet of my favorite, Give Me A Smile, I really like to sing it 🙂

Dearest Sibylle,
I can't even begin to thank you for your songs. I've discovered them for some time now and since then they acompany me in both times of glee and sorrow. I find them to be very honest, insightful and well, beautiful.
I know you didn't intended to share these songs with the world when you first wrote them, but I'm glad you did.

Hey, saw your post about the songbook and I'm definitely interested in being able to learn Sibylle's songs! $30 is a bit pricey however.
Hi I am a famous musician from Lisbon, Portugal. I have some works done in the jazz scene, and it's doing pretty well.
I want to work with you, because I really like the album, but I can't really stand the fact that you repeat 3 times "my daughter, my son" in the song Softly, every single chorus. Do you think you can fix it it in case of a collaboration please?

I discovered Sibylle Baier's music a little over a year ago, and I absolutely love it! On Youtube her album Colour Green is up @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syVOWmLWFys and 'cause of it her album is on my wish list to buy next <3
Do you have a project for a songbook of "Color green" ?
Hallo, mein Name ist emanuelle! Ich fand die CD, die Person, die herrliche Stimme zufällig auf Youtube und fand diese Seite, ich würde gerne über die Geschichte und die Flugbahn wissen, bitte, wenn Sie mir Informationen zu senden, um mehr über Sibylle Baier lernen werden es Ihnen danken, bereits ein Fan. Ich komme aus Brasilien, Weihnachten / RN um genauer zu sein. Ich schaue zurück besorgt. Küsse
Does anyone have the lyrics to "Let us know"... ? <3
i just found the colour green from an online magazine, 'rookiemag.com' and fell in love. so happy her work out in the world and that she was acknowledged for it, even after all these years.
Sadness is beautiful!

I've heard you just now for the first time and found you by myself. Sometimes happens, we can see this beauty, the touch of some old feeling, the memory of something we don't know.
Me, my boyfriend and some other friends absolutely love Sibylle's album.
I play it a lot when I'm at home, so relaxing. The melodies, her voice, it's all so warm and nice.

Very beautiful music...just discovered Ms Baier this evening, but I do recall hearing some talk of her music occasionally in the recent past. Glad to have made the connection finally! Alles Gute - mike
beautiful work !! you must be proud of her 🙂
I would love to purchase a songbook! The vinyl is absolutely incredible.
Ich bin vor genau 3 einhalb Liedern zufällig auf diese wunderschöne Musik gestoßen!
Mindestens so faszinierend wie Suzanne Vega!
Ich bin in den Melodien und in den Texten gefangen.

Found this through First Aid Kit's playlist on facebook. Glad I did!
Best album purchase of the year, for me. Wonderful. Makes me cry, in such a nice way.
I'm hungry for more, and dreading the day when I may have overplayed this album.

Anyone correct "Let us lnow" lyrics?
Let us know that a little things are little
And big ones big
Life is fragrant and brittle
At weak and the tree I've knowing
It grows for the sake of growing
From the drunken I saw my tryin'
I'll become home
My souls in the freedom I'm seeing
The one in the many for
It knows without knowing
Have us see what is now in the light of eternity
Let us be you and me
By griting on water
Living on trees
And bracing the face of our dying
Into this brilliant space
By grows for the sake of growing
Let us know that a little things are little
And big ones big
Life is fragrant and brittle
At weak and the tree I've knowing
It grows for the sake of growing

My souls in the freedom I'm seeing

A songbook would be a wonderfull thing. A wonderful voice Sibylle has. So fragile, so soft and enchanting. x
will be happy to buy Sibylle Baier song book! any news?
Hello!
Sibylle Baier a beautiful singer. I like she's music.
Sibylle Baier a beautiful singer. I like she's music.
Thank you so much for releasing this music for all of us to enjoy. I listen to this album often and lose myself in it. Such beauty!
This album is the first I've actually purchased in years. I can't tell if it's really dark or really tender. At the same time I'm really happy and really sad that we all love this music.
Just ran across Sibylle's songs on youtube today. Great stuff! I'll be purchasing the album. Hope all is well.
I had only been introduced to Sibylle Baier yesterday, as Faris Badwan of the Horrors recommended her music to me when I met him after the gig yesterday. I've only heard very few songs but I'm absolutely blown away. So thanks to Faris for the recommendation, and of course Sibylle for the incredible music.
I find myself again and again. Then I turn over the record and again and again...
What a remarkable woman who had the courage to speak her truth and the talent to execute it with her own sense of beauty. People who show us that the human heart is deep and rich are sooo important to humanity. A true individual. My love to you Sibylle,
A.R.

Your mother's remarkable voice together with the depth of her texts make me dream of a lost paradise. Thank you so much for spreading her work, what you ve done here is very touching. ps would be fantastic to read her poems too
Sibylle has changed my life. I would buy the song book if it was 100 $
I came here first to say that a songbook would be incredible and that I would purchase a copy without question. But more importantly, I just wanted to try and express a small part of the love I feel for Sibylle's songs. I first heard the album 'Colour Green' on a dark night, driving through the countryside in Wisconsin with a college friend. We sat in silence and listened to the album straight through, and when it was finished, my friend asked me, "Is it all right if we listen to it all over again?" Of course it was. That was over three years ago and I have listened to the album many times since and every time it takes me to a new place. Thank you, Sibylle.
Just discovered Sybille's album today. It's perfect for me and I absolutely love it! Thanks!
I would love a songbook! I signed up for the email list, hopefully I can find out as soon as one is available 🙂
First heard Sibylle Baier from a friend and was instantly blown away. Colour Green is terrific, and I was just curious as to what guitar was used to record the album, I love the mellowness of it.
