Method: Overdubbing to create that folksy ballad feel - in an eerie way
Narration: On the popular side of my romanticism (and my skills in pastiche text composition), this is a MORITAT - a warning song played by travelling minstrels or BÄNKELSÄNGER, somewhat like a murder ballad. A young girl (Lottchen) is seduced by a passing band of strangers, flees with them and later returns pregnant. In detail: A remote family farmstead in the early 19th century. In the first verse, the travellers try to impress the children, in the second verse they try to impress the elderly. They hope to trigger longing and yearning for far away landscapes - which does not work in both cases. In the third verse, they trade vain promises among themselves. There is one thing they are experienced in, though: feasting and telling tall stories. In the fourth verse, the father warns and threatens to send for the constable. In the fifth verse, the mother warns young Lottchen that "only what's loose drifts with the wind". In the sixth verse Lottchen has vanished along with the journeypeople and her loss is mourned. In the last verse, Lottchen returns with child.
Note: I tried to make the cover as tacky as .... welll .... others .....

Lyrics / copyright jo richter
(as published in 'chi' under the title 'los'):

den kindern erzählen sie von den bergen,
von hohen gipfeln in stein.
die kinder lächeln schüchtern:
wer will denn so einsam sein?


vor den alten prahlen sie lauthals mit der
weite des meeres, der see.
die alten grummeln mürrisch:
ihre schale fasst nur noch tee.
  

sich selbst geben sie große versprechen,
doch halten diese nie ein.
dafür wissen sie zu zechen
und fröhlich beisammen zu sein.


das sind, sagt der vater, alles bloß gauckler,
sänger und reisendes pack,
gewürm aus dem schoß von dieben:
die holt der gendarm bald ab.


die mutter schaut zu, schweigt und setzt sich
neben das lottchen, ihr kind.
bleib sitzen, lottchen, bleib sitzen:
nur loses treibt mit dem wind.
 

im frühdichten nebel des morgens, ach,
ist keine spur mehr zu sehn:
ach lottchen, mein herzliebchen,
was musstest du mit ihnen gehn?


die drehleier summt, die drehorgel walzert,
das lottchen kommt wieder heim.
 lieb hergott hilf, sie trägt ein kind,
das lottchen kommt nicht allein.

lieb lottchen

Lieb Lottchen
