my name is thinkingaboutit but yes (of course no christ in our holiday… its called “hemelvaartsdag”)
What was your intention, Gunda? If you don’t need to pray to God, Who is alive and sharper than any double edged sword, why do you feel the need to announce that you don’t need to pray to God?
How do you two euro freeloaders get U.S. benefits?
I thought Europe was rich enough and already gave out free living.
…never in my life have I put down that mouse in my hand that quickly to raise my arm!
This surprised me as german as did Michael Knight and Kitt.
Not throwing back to cali
I remember I was around when this was the first introduce to american music to German tourists. I felt so cool.
Daniel…did you ever pick up this on cassette or cd?
Reggie…you are that type of guy.
I just wanted to express, that certain music does to me, for what others need to believe into a deity. A hateful, empathyless and injust deity I may add. Luckily your deity is a fantasy, though. If also a horrible one.
Grönemeyer got old too. Sometimes he still manages to produce nice stuff. Nice music, great lyrics. I also love in this piece, that he asked fans for special moments of luck to be used in his official music video.
I love folk songs, no matter from which (mainly European) country and in which language they come. I found this on Reinhard Mey‘s YouTube channel. A duet in english together with his daughter. A very enchanting english folksong. Embedded in family pictures.
This is song about my country („Mein Land“) and Mey describes exactly how I feel about it. I feel ashamed about it nearly every day I read the news, but not for the reasons most people might assume. Recently I read about someone (I forgot his name), who described Germany as a mighty country with the heart of a mouse. I disagree with the first part, but wholeheartedly agree with his heart metapher. Exactly that‘s the reason for most of the grief my country gives to me.
Not sure if Mey’s reasons are similar to mine, but at least I can fully agree with the text. The only difference is, that meanwhile I lost my patience and naivety.
PS: Despite Mey‘s incredibly sharp and bitter lyrics, his warm way to pronounce even the saddest adjectives, makes that I have to smile the longer the song lasts.
Do not be unhappy. While it is true that German men are cross dressing pansies, take heart in that at least you are not Dutch.
As I am no homophob like you, that‘s not what makes me worry.
Ok, I’ll bite. What makes you worry about your nation, Gunda?
although mice are not dutch they are very caring family oriented creatures;)
I love the old German songs of the 50 and 60. As well as the clothes of that time.
I was actually looking for an attractively calm interpreted US folksong, which I just heard in a documentation about Austria, when I stumbled over this unknown new song by Grönemeyer. Maybe it‘s because of this late hour. Certainly it can‘t be the alcohol, as I am stone-cold sober. Listened to it just once yet but the mood of the piano as well as the old-fashioned German words he digged out from a nearly forgotten magic world, made the perception somehow surreal - and inspires awe. The light summing of the choir at the end underscores this effect. Despite a non-spectacular melody, Beautiful message which adresses two people to protect each other and their love.
Even the title is old-fashioned: Immerfort (Evermore)
Wenn heute auch schon morgen wär’
Gehe das Glück stets neben euch her
Verlässt euch an keinem noch so entlegenden Ort
Als einseliger Akkord, immerfort, immerfort
Gebt auf eure Liebe acht
Seht immer wieder im Herzen nach
Dass kein einziges Gefühl dort still verdorrt
Seid einseliger Akkord, immerfort, immerfort
Seid einseliger Akkord, immerfort, immerfort
Legt nach, liebt euch Tag für Tag
Legt nach, liebt euch jeden Tag
Was immer euch die Zeit zuweht
Steht zusammen, bis der Sturm sich legt
Seid einander ein sanftester Hort
Seid einseliger Akkord, immerfort, immerfort
Legt nach, liebt euch Tag für Tag
Legt nach, liebt euch jeden Tag
LOL: I found myself within this video hihihihi almost as a millipixel
But I won’t tell where
