"I Start Dreaming Again" - Weren't it and isn't it the dreams that drive us in life with the feeling of longing in search of happiness and love? Imagination is limitless and as long as we are alive there is no obstacle that could prevent our journeys into the world of dreams. I wrote this German song in Bavarian slang back in 1990 after such a trip ...

Lyrics translation for my English speaking friends:

I Start Dreaming Again

Since a long time, I've been standing in front of your door, 
don't you notice the longing that I feel?
The way to my home is still far away
but I stay there, I have a lot of time!

I start dreaming again, because I can't forget you.
In my dreams you are at home alone
dreaming  the same dream of me

I'll come over to you tomorrow night. 
Then just let me in.
I fell hopelessly in love with you. 
That has never happened to me before.

I start dreaming again, because I can't forget you.
In my dreams you are at home alone
dreaming  the same dream of me

Even if waiting is difficult for me,
I am finally not getting cold!
The desire that I feel deep inside me
is like a warm sun shine from you!

I start dreaming again, because I can't forget you.
In my dreams you are at home alone
dreaming  the same dream of me (2x)

Ich Halt' Dich Fest

I Fang' Noamoi Zum Drama O

“Blues for Dissatisfied Days”

Genre: Rock 'n' Roll in Bavarian slang

This swinging, simple Rock 'n' Roll in E major emerged on a rainy Sunday in the 80's during exam preparation in college. Torn between the chore of constant learning and the conveniences that student life has to offer, this song conveys the typical mood of this unforgotten time.

Lyrics for my English speaking friends:

Verse 1:
Yes sometimes, I feel really bad
I don't know what to say, hey guys
It's raining out there, and that suits me even more
I don't know what I'm doing, please leave me alone!

Refrain:
I sing the blues now because I have to sing!

Verse 2:
I sat there all day and learned hard     
then the phone rang and it was Bernd
whether I had time for some fun, he asked
“no” I say and almost cried
Refrain: 1x

Verse 3:
My girlfriend told me yesterday that she no longer likes me
if so, she should go away, she was just a nuisance anyway
The teacher says that I have nothing in my head
the best thing is to go back to bed
Refrain: 1x

Verse 4:
Nothing suits me at all today, yes it's bad
my head hurts, but that would still work
in bed I am looking at the blanket from below
now only a blues helps, that's the be-all and end-all
Refrain: 1x
Verse 1: again

Blues Für Unzufriedene Tage

Ein weiterer deutscher Schlager über die erste Liebe. Auf Wolke sieben schwebend, Schmetterlinge im Bauch haben, die Welt durch die rosarote Brille sehen - es gibt viele Metaphern, die das unbeschwerte Gefühl des ersten Verliebtseins zu beschreiben versuchen. Denken wir zurück an diese glücklichen, jugendlichen Momente die uns dieses einmalige Gefühl in unserem Leben beschert hat. 

Another German Hit about first love. Floating on cloud seven, with butterflies in your stomach, seeing the world through rose-colored glasses - there are many metaphors that try to describe the first carefree feeling of being in love. Let's think back to those happy, youthful moments that gave us this unique feeling in our lives.

Here comes the translation for my English speaking friends:

"Tell me, who..."

Dark empty streets tonight, why did I only think of you? 
You pull me under your spell so much that I can't fall asleep this night! 

Chorus:
Tell me who whispers "good night" in my ear? 
Without you, I feel so lonely 
Tell me who will then kiss me so lovingly? 
You are so cute, you are just great! 

In your thoughts you are very close to me, 
but in truth I don't feel much about you! 
I fell in love with you hopelessly 
I am so happy that you exist! 

Chorus: 1x

It is said that thoughts often connect 
but I would prefer to find you here. 
In my head the world seems so twisted 
what am I going to do if this continues? 

Chorus: 2x

Sag' Mir, Wer

"Lady Blue" was my first composition of a German Hit back in 1988. It was recorded on an analogue 8-track recorder using the DX7II soundscape based on famous Yamaha FM synthesis.
The love song has a catchy melody and the lyrics are typical for this genre. No computer was used for this recording.

Lady Blue

Sonne, Liebe und Gastfreundschaft – mediterrane Lebenslust kann man nicht vermitteln. Man muss sie erfahren. 

“Days Off Down South”: Sun, Love and Hospitality – Mediterranean love of life cannot be communicated. You’ll have to make the experience.

Here comes the translation for my English speaking friends:

Verse 1:
You feel stressed and exhausted
have gathered all your strength
After doing nothing and warmth you feel lust now
whereby you detach yourself from the daily frustration
Refrain:
Days off down south, where the sun burns hot
Days off down south where hospitality is known
Days off down south, where you never separate
Where you call life and love in one breath
Verse 2:
You accept appointment by appointment
and so life takes its course quickly
If you are asked, then you never have time
but what do you really live for?
Verse 3:
The pressure to perform, it drives you forward
If you bring a lot of performance, then you are ahead!
But what does the achievement bring, my dear mate,
if you can't even be more human?
Refrain: 1x
Your boss told you his opinion today
unfortunately you have dared a word too much
Now you have the anger on your neck again
The Lord knows trouble never stops
Refrain: 2x

Freie Tage Im Süden

Slow reggae feeling and longing for a girl - that's what this song is about.

Perfect Love

I'm Crying For Your Love

Schmetterlinge im Bauch, die rosarote Brille im Gesicht, auf Wolke Sieben schwebend und nichts kann das Glücksgefühl trüben. Wenn Verliebtheit zu Liebe heranwächst, darum geht es in diesem Song.

"I've woken up a thousand times": Butterflies in the stomach, the pink glasses in your face, floating on cloud #7 and nothing can take away the feeling of happiness. If infatuation turns into love, that's what this song is about.

Here comes the translation for my English speaking friends:

Verse 1:
Do you feel that you are only there for me?
That no one else forgives you as much as I do?
I wonder if your heart promises me hard
that our loyal friendship never breaks?
Refrain:
I've woken up a thousand times
I've thought about it a thousand times.
That night seemed infinitely long to me
because you deprived me of my sleep.
Tell me what did you do to me
Verse 2:
I've been dreaming about you a lot lately
that I want to be more than just your best friend.
Are you leaving me alone on my way?
Will my longing be infinite now and then?
Refrain: 1x
Verse 3:
Can it be that you think of me too?
Can it be that you are attached to me in the same way?
Do you know what love means to me?
That love tears many hearts apart?
Refrain: 2x

Tausendmal Bin Ich Schon Aufgewacht

“Damnd, I love you”

This song was produced in 1989 in the style of a typical German hit of the 70ties without computer and just by using an analog multitrack recording machine.  It is about self-doubt concerning the love for a woman.

Lyrics translation for my English speaking friends:

Verse#1
We were two for a long time, but then, then the time came
You told me, now I'll go from you
How could you, was I really that stubborn?
Weren't we stupid and dumb far too often?

Refrain
Damnd, I love you!
I am the one who wants you!
Love is not a game, but you risk way too much

Verse#2
Today ‘I dream of the river, we gave each other the first kiss
The wind brushed your hair and we almost forgot the time
The summer was hot back then, you look at me, oh I know
It was all just fun for you, but I, I forgot

Refrain 1x + solo part

Verse#3
Your tears weren't real, your words weren't quite right
just thoughts in the wind, just like children are like that.
But the path was narrow, we rarely had any advice
to go our way, you have to stand by me!

Refrain 2x

Verdammt Nochmal, Ich Lieb' Dich
