Even now I still love the energy of this song. Everything being reported in the news at the time was provoking a reaction within me but I had no one to really share these thoughts and frustrations with. I still really love the feeling  I get inside when I hear and play this song although, now a little older, I am no longer going off all the world one by one and have become a bit more tolerant and selective.

LYRICS

Met a friend from years gone by
Both remarked how time did fly
Said he couldn't give a toss
About the workers now he's boss

Watched a hero of the past
Say he'd seen the light at last
Hope and prayed that all his fans
Would put their lives in tory hands

CHORUS
Yes I'm going off the world one by one
Guess it wasn't meant to be any fun
Yes I'm going off the world one by one

People ring the radio
To get their views heard on the show
Can't believe the things I hear
Makes me want to disappear 

Freddie Laker he's gone broke
Some feel sorry for that bloke
Send him money such a shame
He's only got five million to his name

CHORUS

Got a visit from the Pope
Kissed the ground Christ what a dope
You could hear the people cheer
Was it love or was it fear

If what I've said gets through to you
But don't reflect your point of view
There is only one thing I can do
You're just another join the queue 


Yes I'm going off the world one by one
Yes I'm going off the world one by one
Yes I'm going off the world one by one
Yes I,m going off the world one by one
Yes I'm going off the world one by one
Yes I,m going off the world one by one
Yes I'm going off the world one by one

One By One

Tempted to venture somewhere you shouldn't ??
This dark bluesy experiment riffs its way downtown....

Original lyrics (not too complicated 😜) by kavvka:

Gdzie serca splecione w skowronkach?

Jasieńku, Jasieńku czemuś ty zły na mnie?
Jam Ci to życie chciała ułożyć jak w niebie.
Dlaczegoś, dlaczegoś mnie zostawił dla niej?
Jam Ci to chciała jeno wyjść za ciebie.

Oj dana,
oj dana,
oj dana

Powtórzenie
____________
English translation:

Where our hearts bounded in skylarks melody?

Oh Johnny, oh Johnny why are you mad at me?
I wanted this life maked into heaven.
Why, oh why you left me for her
I only wanted to be your wife 

Oh dah-nah
oh dah-nah
oh dah-nah

Repeat.

DIE ROTE ERDE came to life in the summer of 2004. I don't remember the exact date now, as it's all shrouded in tons of marijuana smoke, projects, and bad memory if something is not written on the computer or on a simple piece of paper.

Anyway, the summer of 2004 was when I figured out I want to move beyond rock music and pop music, and structured music, and move towards the improvised realm of sound and noise.

I discovered Maurizio Bianchi and Merzbow that summer. It was a big surprise and revelation for a fan of Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, Amon Düül II, Nirvana, etc... to discover what you could do with extreme and industrial music. Of course, the space and improvised nature of my rock music roots remained intact.

In 2004 I was already out of my project with Mateusz Nowicki, so I was free to experiment alone in a small room (my first "home studio") with my guitar and a computer. I recorded one CD-R, and that was it for Die Rote Erde for almost 10 years.

I nearly forgot about my CD-R from 2004, but the name Die Rote Erde reoccured again in 2013, and this time I wanted to make more guitar-centered experimental music. So, I recorded the second Die Rote Erde album 2013/2014, and released it in 2014 on bandcamp.

Around 2014/2015 I discovered more interesting artists, like Angus MacLise, Yuri Morozov, and Éliane Radigue. They proved to be the creative fluxus fueling Die Rote Erde for quite some time.

But it wasn't until 2018, the magic year for Die Rote Erde, that I really knew what I wanted to do sonically for the project, and also with the vision and artwork and artistic direction.

Moving back to my rock roots, but in the context of Kosmische Musik: Kluster, Zweistein, the Chamsin soundtrack, early Tangerine Dream, studio-as-instrument by Can, etc, I decided to make Die Rote Erde a combination of space pulsations and extreme noise. Much alike imagining how would Hawkwind's Space Ritual sound only with the electronic devices left in the mix.

Die Rote Erde will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year. I never thought this name, this path, and this project, could last for 20 years. But, obviously it did. This might mean a proper re-release of the earliest materials, new material, and further archive materials appearing on the project's bandcamp.

Die Rote Erde was always on the experimental side of things, and it's not easy for pioneers. So, being a small local pioneer in Poznań, Poland, I never imagined I would last 20 years making music and noise nobody really wants to hear. Or maybe YOU want to hear it? If so, check out the bandcamp and float on.
