It was at a birthday party about two years ago when I first heard a song of a young and very gifted musician. It was his calm but powerful and distinctive voice that pierced my ear gently.
Philipp Poisel is a Germany singer-songwriter. He was born 18 June 1983 in Ludwigsburg, which is in Baden-Wurttemberg near Stuttgart. Actually, he wanted to become a middle school teacher for the subjects English, music, and arts but failed the entrance examination for music.
I always find it peculiar when people are told that their skills are insufficient for a particular job but finally become successful in the respective field afterwards. In the case of Philipp Poisel I am fairly happy about the refusal because it would be a shame if the world hadn’t the chance to listen to his characteristic style.
In this piano version, Philipp is accompanied by the German actor Matthias Schweighöfer.
Hello everybody!
I studied English and American Studies, Communication Science, and Political Science at the University of Greifswald. Since I have been learning English as a second language myself for almost 20 years now I know how difficult it is to learn a language other than your native one. Thus, I am always willing to keep my explanations about German grammar comprehensible and short. Further, I am inclined to encourage you to speak German in every situation.
Regards,
Sandra

Hello!
I’m trying to learn German by listening to Philipp (in addition to grammar and everything…). Here is what confuses me : Mit jedem deiner Fehler (that is the title of one of his songs). Could you please explain to me,why it is deiner and not deinem?
I thought it is supposed to be in dative case, since there is mit and jedem finishes with em.
Thank you for your answer 🙂
It’s “deiner” because “Fehler” is in the plural form here. “Mit jedem deiner Fehler” = “With every of your flaws” If it was in the singular form it would be “deinem”, for example, “Mit deinem Fehler” = “With your flaw”.

I hope I could help.
