In the Dark – My Most Personal and Raw Song to Date

This song is more than just a song; it reflects a moment that changed my life forever. It recounts the story of my car accident in Chertsey, England, in 2017, a night that remains etched in my memory. The moment of impact, the crushing silence that followed, and the overwhelming fear that I might not survive shaped me in ways I never imagined.

I remember the darkness—the kind that wasn’t just around me but within me. The world faded into an eerie stillness, and for a fleeting second, I felt lost, trapped between life and something else. My body was shattered, both inside and out, and yet, amidst that terrifying uncertainty, a faint blue light flickered through the chaos. Sirens wailed in the distance, cutting through the silence like a lifeline. That was the moment I held on to—the will to survive.

This song captures that night—the battle to stay alive, the struggle to heal, and the determination to walk again. It embodies the pain, fear, and resilience that carried me forward. The road to recovery was long, but every step I took was guided by the unwavering support of those who saved me.

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the brave men and women of the Chertsey fire brigade, the ambulance team, and the police officers who arrived at the scene that night. Their swift actions, dedication, and courage gave me a second chance at life.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the extraordinary medical staff at St George’s Hospital in London. Thank you for caring for me during those critical days when my future was uncertain. Your compassion and skill provided me with hope when I needed it the most.

I also want to extend my appreciation to the Rega team, who flew me back to Switzerland, and the remarkable doctors and nurses at the University Hospital in Basel. Thank you for guiding me through the most challenging journey of my life, for believing in my recovery, and for helping me regain the strength I thought I had lost.

Lastly, I am deeply thankful for my husband’s unwavering love, care, and support as he stood lovingly by my side.

I wouldn’t be here today, sharing this story or singing this song, without each one of you. Your kindness, dedication, and unwavering support carried me through the darkest nights. This song is for you, me, and anyone who has fought to find light in the dark.
