In the liner notes for her new CD, Lemper writes, "This journey 'between yesterday and tomorrow' through time and places in the world is also a journey through my heart. It is a collection of memories, impressions, moments of joy, but also vulnerable moments of doubt and outrage. It moves between clearness and painful confusion, hope and despair about world issues but always wants to stay poetic in its thought and language."

Song titles include "Nevada," "Nomad," "September Mourn," "Greatest Ride," "Stranger Friend," "Wings of Desire," "Here Is Love," "Luna," "Ghosts of Berlin," "La Memoire et la Mer" and "Blood & Feathers."
