That’s how it is

Seiler sings from personal experience: about humor, about excesses and escapades, about the absurdities of everyday life, and about real pain. He writes and sings the way he is. His book provides insight into the stories behind the songs, into a life that is sometimes wild and sometimes quite-into a hero`s life in the midst of the Austrian working class.

Since the singing duo Seiler und Speer firmly established themselves in the collective consciousness of Austrians with »Ham kummst« (engl. Coming home) the spotlight has been their everyday life. Their provocative songs don’t beat around the bush but say it like it is – in Austrian dialect and sometimes with a touch of foreign language. And you know what the hard-boiled songs are about. Christopher Seiler has been in the public eye with his downfalls, excesses, and great disillusionment. In this book, he tells the unvarnished story of how it all happened and how a working-class boy became a hero.
