Bleib Gold Mädchen
Frauen erinnern sich an ihre Jugend. An die Sehnsucht und den ersten Sex. An Ängste, Wünsche, an Freundschaft, Treue und Untreue, den ganz alltäglichen Wahnsinn, wenn die Hormone und der Körper erwachen.
An die Zeit zwischen Kind und Frau.
Bleib Gold Mädchen ist eine Erinnerungssammlung über die Teenagerzeit - eine prall gefüllte Überraschungstüte zwischen Elektropop und Chanson. Mal ganz dramatisch und explosiv - manchmal ganz leise und sanft.
Es war schon eine wilde -aufregende - und zugegeben - schwierige Zeit.
Die Songs wurden überwiegend gezielt für diese CD produziert.

On the RoadRoadRoad
Lyrics by Danielle de Picciotto
I don’t look back no more
Don’t waste the time
I’ve left my home for good
Wasn’t really mine
Some call it misery, some call it joy
I call it destiny, my real McCoy
Chorus
I’ve seen the ships leave shore
Birds turn to flames
I’ve heard a wild beast cry tied up in chains
I’ve seen the sidewalks roll
Tall buildings sway
The light of a dark dawn turn into day
Rainfall can’t stop us now
Neither can snow
Once you have left the town
Towards tomorrow
I watch the fields fly by
Signposts and streets
Seen from an eagle’s eye this world’s complete
Chorus
My love sleeps next to me
His hand in mine
Our dual certainty makes our sun shine
Distance forms symmetry
Poetry is formed
Don’t need security
The worlds my home.
Chorus

Lyrics by Danielle de Picciotto
Hickory Dickory Dock
The Mouse ran up the clock
The mouse is me
I don’t know how to stop
Hickory Dickory Dock
The Mouse ran up the clock
The mouse is me,
I don’t know how to stop
I hate the race, I hate the pace
I need some airspace.
Little Tommy Tucker
He sings for his supper
And so will I until I die
Until I die.
Chorus
Skip, Skip, Skip to my Lou
Skip to my Lou my darlin
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Skip, Skip, Skip to my Lou
Skip to my Lou my darlin
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Georgy, Porgy, Pudding and Pie
He kissed the girls and made me cry
When the girls came out to play he made me stay
And watch him play
I watched him play around all day
And then I hit his head
So hard it bled
And then I ran away
And then I ran away.
Chorus

Hitman's Heel - Hickory Dickory Dock

The medieval novel “The Ship of Fools” which is based on the image of a ship filled with fools, seafaring through the oceans of life, is a metaphor not only depicting the foolhardiness of mankind - the detailed descriptions of the different fools within the ship describe current character traits as well as ancient ones.
The timelessness of this story appealed to Danielle de Picciotto and Alexander Hacke, inspiring them to compose a show based on eleven fools described in the book, presenting the seduction of follies, their downfall and hidden assets by means of music and projected visuals.
Deep bass lines, scraping metal, melancholic autoharps, violent guitar riffs, bizarre sound recordings, electronic break beats, long forgotten tango tunes entwined with Hackes magnificent singing and Danielle’s mystic lyrics are illuminated by intricate projections depicting illustrated scenes of fools debauchery, burlesque dance clips and colorful tiki animations (all drawings and filming by Danielle de Picciotto). The artists present a magical world (a dreamlike mirror of the one we are all living in) this live performance is charged with laconic humor and fantasy inviting us to not only be seduced by its follies but also be conscious of its possible downfall.

Canadian spoken word artist Myra Davies is back with her new album CITIES & GIRLS, a fresh collection of witty stories. As with their MIASMA trilogy, Davies’ stories have been set to music by Gudrun Gut, whose own solo album I Put A Records On came out last year, as well as Beate Bartel and the team of Danielle de Picciotto / Alexander Hacke - who provide the musical accompaniment on two tracks. Berlin Electronica is the warp in which Davies weaves reportage on global life in the early 21st century. 

STUFF is a comic riff on our attraction to Stuff and how to use landfills to resist it, with music by Danielle de Picciotto and Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neutbauten).
