not all those who wander are lost...  same goes for the mind.   we can wander inside of ourselves, and sometimes get lost in there...  the tracks in this playlist are for those in need to being transported somewhere better...  somewhere beautiful, inspiring...  or back in time, to a special place, a certain face...  a scent.   i have found these tracks to be rather mesmerising, haunting, moving.  i hope you enjoy this journey...  If you do, please visit the artist's page and show them a lot of love.  thank you x

Name That Tune #438 by Anthony Newley

Introduction in English:

Germany in the 1960s was still very much influenced by the Nazi stink. Violence and black pedagogy still prevailed in families. Beatings and spankings were part of the natural educational repertoire of parents. 
Unfortunately, my father and mother also joined this then socially accepted community of thugs.   
In this often ominous and latently threatening time, Doris Day was for me the ideal projection screen for a world full of harmony, clarity and lightness. 
Since my parents basically loved me (they themselves had been traumatized by terrible experiences of violence in Nazi Germany and, due to a lack of suitable trauma therapies at the time, unconsciously went from being victims to perpetrators when beating us children), they took my childhood crushes on Doris Day seriously and at some point gave in to my urging to write her a (fictitious) letter from Germany.... 
As an adult, I distanced myself from my childhood crush on Doris Day for a long time, since critical film analyses tended to portray her as a representative of superficial, shallow and pseudo-harmonic acting and song art. 
Then I saw her again a good ten years ago at the „Berlinale“ in a documentary with Rock Hudson and his HIV infection at the beginning of 1985. Nobody wanted to get Hudson, whose HIV infection was diagnosed in Moscow, out of there and bring him back to the U.S. by plane. Most were afraid of becoming infected themselves. 
Not so Doris Day. She, along with several other actors, organized the flight back. And when Rock Hudson, who was already seriously ill with AIDS, stepped out of the plane after landing in the U.S., she demonstratively stood next to him and put her arm around him. Even today, tears come to my eyes when I think of this unique gesture of solidarity and loyalty. 
Since that magical moment in a Berlin movie theater, Doris Day has become immortal to me. 
And I can only say: I was not at all mistaken in my early love for her....

Lyrics in English

My Blond Angel

When I was a little boy 
Just a meter high 
I fell in love with your blond hair 
That always smelled like cinnamon stars to me

I'd watch TV in the afternoon and then I'd see you 
As you came on the screen
You were pure harmony, clinically pure, high polish
You exuded carefree elegance

No one believed I could fall in love like that
Little boys are supposedly not ready for that yet

But I suffered, I pined, I was sick with love
My blond angel from the faraway land

My parents told me she lives far away from here
In the great wide U.S.A.
Her name is Doris Day and she'd already have
A husband to take care of her

But I wouldn't give up
I cried and cried until my parents realized
They found out her residence and address
And after my continued insistence,

I dictated a love letter to them both
My father translated it for her

He threw it in for me, I was still too little for that
My blond angel from the faraway land

When I sat in front of the screen the following weeks
She looked at me differently
She looked quite in love, my letter seduced her
Since then I was her little husband

For a long time I was ashamed of this love
But recently I saw her
More magical than ever
For me she remains a shining light
I love her

Mein Blonder Engel (My Blond Angel)

This tune was made famous by Fats Domino in 1956. Performed on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

It was so fun to collaborate with @elvyadulcimer on our last track Willows Waltz, and it was a pleasure again to explore her beautiful voice as an instrument in an ensemble piece.  The title Idlewild is borrowed from the irrepressible imagination of Anne of Green Gables, and is fitting I think for a track that seeks to capture a feeling of playful fantasy.

SATIE*ESQUE

Sometimes being alone is less lonely than being with other people. This song reveals that feeling. This guy has a night of celebration with a woman, including all the prerequisite elements of eating, dining and intimacy, but in the end it’s an empty liaison where he once again reaches too eagerly for the elusive meaningful, fulfilling relationship, only to come up hungover and empty. There is sarcasm in his comparisons to it being a “paradise amour”. The song features the wonderful pedal steel playing of Dakota Holden, which gives a neat country spin to what is a bit of a hybrid between urban folk and country blues. Confetti is a fun and colorful thing, till you wake up late for work with it lining the inside of your shoes.

Lyrics: Confetti In My Shoe

Whisky in a bottle
Confetti on the floor
She sure ain’t no model
Guess I’ll have another pour 

Cheesecake in the kitchen
Crumbs upon her lips
Time to test the tension
My hand falls to her hips

It’s just the bourbon talking
But she thinks it’s really me
As my fingers do the walking
It’s classified and free
And through the bedroom door we fall
And land upon the shore
The eyes roll back to see it all
This paradise amour

Like the rattling of pots and pans
Rolling in her arms
And passing out at 3AM
To sleep through my alarm

The sunlight stabs the curtains
The cold hangs heavy hard
The morning brings no flirtin’
And she didn’t leave her card

I wish that I smoked cigarettes
I wish I had a clue
How twisted being lonely gets
Confetti in my shoe
And through the bedroom door we fell
And landed on the shore
The sun sets on the beach of Hell
This paradise amour

Confetti In My Shoe

Hi,
I felt that I have to cover all the seasons of the year with my songs.
I have a song about autumn (When the trees change clothes), winter (Winter in Stockholm), and spring (Waiting for the spring to come).
This song is about a wonderful summer day.
I just wonder if there is anybody more who plays the Furch guitar??
Lyrics:

A Miraculous Day

The rain holds up in my garden
and the sun makes the flowers shine
the squirrels are hunting each others tail
and they don´t seem to bother that we are watching them
their attention is devoted to the game

Me and my wife we are waiting
for the moment when our children come
the grandchildren love to come home to our place
I can feel in my heart that they love us
and they turn everything upside and down

We can build up a big castle
of sand and it reaches the sky
and now we don´t need so much clothes to wear
the feeling of freedom is remarkable
the summertime gives this pleasure to us

A Miraculous Day
