I cannot really explain how her music makes me feel.
I just hope everyone gets the chance to hear her.
A music from another time that at the same time sounds timeless.

hello there! savannah here. i'm not sure if this is going to sibylle baier or her son, robby, or.. ya' know, i just don't know, but i thought i'd take the time to tell whomever is reading how much her music has helped me. now, i've never been a fan of "pop" music. i've always been a folksy girl, but her music has inspired me so much and helped me through a whole spring/summer. her song I Lost Something in the Hills. o.O! gives me goosebumps. i wrote a whole essay on it. the line, "I grew up in declivities. others grow up in cities. where first love and soul takes rise. there were times in my life, when i felt mad and deprived. and only the slopes gave me hope." in retrospect, i try to think of how she must've felt when she wrote that. OHP! i'm running out of room, so.. so long!

So grateful to have come into contact with Sibylle's music. Have been immersed since my friend introduced me to it weeks ago. This is a rarity, that I will continue to revisit an album to such extent, almost as a default. There've only been a few, and Colour Green is one. Thank you to Sibylle and also to Robbie. Danka;)

some people say talent is gifted by god but some choose the other ways to shine, or just keep by themselves and never been told. It's been a long time for searching the sound from my heart and thank gad I finally found you.
this is an honestest message from a Chinese 21 year old person.
May god bless you.

Hi! Read at Pitchfork.com that Kevin Barnes from Of Montreal performed the song "Tonight" on Minnesota Public Radio, and went over to Google's web home to listen and was deeply moved. Reminds me of the first time I heard "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" from Fleet Foxes. Just wanted to thank both Robby and Sibylle herself for the wonderful music :)

I've been searching for info about an old friend I knew in Chicago in 1979. A painter, Dwight Berry (signed his work as Andres Marina). He traveled to Ibiza, Spain often with another friend Dickie Shay. I knew he had moved back to Waltham, Mass. I briefly heard from him and many years ago lost contact. My most recent internet search turned up the posting to you on Feb 11, 2009 from Bobi Lore. It sounds like you must have known him also, so I'm wondering if you might be able to share anything you might know about Dwight, and perhaps you know something about his friend Dickie. Wondering what became of them both is something I think about often. Please feel free to contact me, -Mykl

I would certainly pay $30 for the songbook. Such great music! And I can play guitar and sing, but don't have much of an ear for figuring out chords or tabs... :)

Hello! i am very glad to hear there will be a songbook! the song colour green has been my anthem for many years and i would love nothing more than to be able to play it on my guitar. i think 30$ is a good price, as well :)
Daniel Ziese
July 23, 2010
I would definitely buy such a songbook. 30$ are okay, I think. I would love to play some of Sibylle's songs - but I'm too lazy to write down all the chords myself ;)
Oh, and I'm waiting for the colour green vinyl right now. Just ordered it in Braunschweig's vinyl store. Hope it's gonna arrive soon...

Dear Bobby, I would LOVE to see the Sibylle Baier songbook as you describe. Please include some photos of Sibylle as well. It would be fun if you could find one of her with Wim for the song Wim for example. Maybe this isn't something you would like to do but it is just a thought.
Colour Green is an album I take out at certain moods and seasons of the year. It is such beautiful, gentle, consoling music and I think some of the songs have real healing power. One thing I have always wondered about is the final song on the disc with the orchestra. Was that a one-off in a studio or do you know more? We would love to hear more of your amazing Mother's music in the future. I think it would be really cool if she and Vashti Bunyan would do a duet sometime, as well.
Robby Baier
July 22, 2010
I am thinking about putting together a Sibylle Baier song book covering all the songs on Colour Green. The book would feature guitar tablature, lyrics and chord names. Also included would be copies of some of her original lyric sheets. Could you please leave some feedback on the guest book page if this is something you might be interested in? Would $30 be too much? I am trying to figure out if this will be feasible and if there is enough interest. Thanks!!

a couple of weeks ago on a train i sat opposite a very shy and sad looking girl, and as she looked as if she was about to cry i asked her if she was okay, and she told me she was she was just listening to this album on her ipod by someone called sibylle baier that is very sad and beautiful. since then i have brought the album myself (just in time for the second vinyl release i see) and am now dating that girl. it one of the most wonderful things in life, when you stumble across something from another place and another time and it captures your mood and changes you forever. thank you.

What a wonderful album! My husband and I own a record store in Vancouver, Canada and we just got this LP in... once I heard it I immediately ordered more! The beautiful stark simplicity of the music and lovely haunting lyrics make it my top album pick of the week. I hope to play it for many people so they can discover Sibylle's music as well... Thank you !!

I found Sibylle by way of Rhapsody and a hyperlink adventure. It starts while listening to the Computer World Radio Channel where I found a newer band called Ladytron. After linking to the Ladytron artist page I followed a youtube link where Ladytron talk about a favorite album from Leonard Cohen called Death of a Ladies Man. I followed the link to Leonard Cohen and enjoyed a few songs and notes about Leonard. Then I noticed a contemporary named Sibylle and followed that link to find Colour Green and the remarkable story of the album. As a fan of Nick Drake, I can't help but notice similarities in melancholy style and simplicity, not to mention the odd timing of 60's and 70's folk music transplanted in the new millenium like a time capsule.

Came here after listening to "The End". The song touched me so much... I listened to it several times before I could let go. I now have the CD and I love every song in it.
Thanks a lot for writing this music and lyrics.

I love music. I once dreamed of playing music but my greatest passion has been photography. I have had success getting my work out there, outside my family, who call what I do a hobby. My life work has been a large body of work focusing on a small Iowa county, its people, small towns, farms, kids, old folks, county fair, stores, and so much more. These images originally came out of a number of adventures my dying father and I had as we drove all over our home territory in Harrison County during the six months he was a resident of Longview Nursing Home. We took these trips in my beat up pickup for two hour jaunts into the place he knew as home.
I have a story to tell in both photographs as well as words of my father's sense of place and my hopeful yet undiscovered understanding of where home is.
I want to tell my story (half finished) and show my images, which have been locked away in my workroom for a long time. I guess I'm afraid to do this work because it may not be a good as what I have produced in the past. I think this is a part of me that I have never shared with my family and my good friends. My private images and words which will I think let others see what I have hidden for so long. Kept under wraps. I would hope that Sybille would reveal more of her own true story with us. The music I have of hers I play frequently. It's true and touches me because it is like honey in the wax, not "purified" by some company so its prettier. The power in her is in me too and I will share my vision and my words because I can point to it and say I made something I think is important. I've been alive and my talent may not be great but I used what spirit I could control that's in me to reveal the beauty and life force in a place most people nap while driving through. Phil

Hallo, Volker hier aus Melbourne. Ich habe heute ein Buch von Robert Forster gekauft - 10 Rules of Rock'n'Roll. Darin sind Kritiken von ihm abgedruckt, die in der australischen Zeitschrift Monthly erschienen sind. Darunter auch eine zu Sybille Baier. Er ist erstaunt darueber, wie unglaublich gut eine Deutsche mit der englischen Sprache umgehen kann. Er ist von Sybille's Musik begeistert. Ich hatte bis jetzt nicht die Gelegenheit. mir die Musik anzuhoeren. Ich denke, dass sein Buch erheblich dazu Beitraegt Sybille etwas bekannter zu machen. Aus Melbourne dazu viel Glueck. Schoenen Gruss, Volker
