“Shape Your Galaxy” Feels Like a Gentle Push in the Right Direction When You are Stuck in Overthinking

If you’ve ever needed a gentle push to trust yourself more, this album might be what you’re looking for.

"Shape Your Galaxy" is an album with eight songs. It feels like a motivational letter written in the form of music. It is an album about reminding yourself who you are, and also about what you are capable of when you stop overthinking and start following your inner voice.

Ulrich Jannert has created these songs with his collaborators under the name Good Vibes Only. He explains that he originally wrote these songs just for himself. So, he could listen to these and feel better. And that intention shows in the album. Every song in the album sounds personal and intentional. It makes you want to get up and do something that matters.

The overall music of the album is clean and comforting. It blends various genres, making the album easy to enjoy no matter what your musical taste is. The rhythms are light but steady. The melodies in the songs feel smooth and familiar.

"Each song sits somewhere between gentle motivation and thoughtful reflection."

The songs in the album carry their own motivational pulse. The songs like "Just Take the First Step" set the tone that feels like personal mantras set to music. "Time to Believe in Yourself" is a song that shows encouragement instead of urgency. The song "Small Steps, Big Dreams" adds a really playful and hopeful energy to the flow of the album. By the time the album closes with "The Only Thing That Matters", listeners are left with a sense of grounded determination.

When it comes to the lyrics, the album speaks about ideas like overcoming fear, trusting yourself, and making real change from within. There is a clear message running through every song of the album. It is that life does not wait, and neither should you. You do not need approval from others to do what feels right to you. You just need to move forward, even if it is one small step at a time.

One unique aspect of this album is how well the lyrics match the mood of the music. There is a fine balance between lightness and seriousness. A song that has soft, flowing music and has the words that remind you not to get too comfortable in the same place. It is that push and pull feeling that gives the album its strength.

The approach of Jannert to songwriting is clear. They just need to have clarity and encouragement. You can surely tell these songs were not written to impress anyone. These are only written to reach people in a simple and honest way. And that is what makes them work the best.

The production of this album is super solid. Everything sounds very polished, but nothing feels overdone. You can feel the care put into each note of the album. The beats do not overpower the message. Instead, they support it. They give the space for the lyrics to breathe. This album is perfect for moments when you need to slow down and think. Or even when you need a gentle reminder that you are capable of more than you think. It is also very easy to leave playing in the background while working or relaxing. But if you stop to listen to the words, you will find something deeper.

To be frank, "Shape Your Galaxy" is not loud or flashy. But it is filled with heart. It is about tuning out the noise of the world and listening to what is inside oneself. If you are also someone who often feels pulled in too many directions, then these songs might help you find a little more peace and direction. As the title of the album suggests, you shape your own galaxy. And with this music, Ulrich Jannert has created a set of gentle songs for anyone trying to do just that.
