the river / der Fluß
Liner Notes
the lyrics are the result of my writer block avoiding programs: I write a page without thinking, just writing down what comes to my mind.
Pennyfeather trustfully send me this beautiful guitar track where I added my vocals and a little Glockenspiel.
Hope you like it!
Lyrics
Der Fluß
winterblaues Zeitgefühl gleitet wie ein Fisch zum Fenster hinaus in den Wald der Zeit Zikadenzauber löst sich im Himmel auf Unterwassergefunkel zum aufwärmen unserer Seelen zum auflehnen der Geister den Riesen geschuldet! die blaue Fee schlängelt sich verkleidet durchs Wasser das wirbelt und zirbelt und knistert und flüstert jede Welle ist ein Atemzug
der Fluß atmet mich ein der Fluß atmet mich aus
------------///////----------------- the river
a winterblue feeling slides along like a fish out of the window into the forest of time cicada magic dissolves into the sky dazzling underwater sparkle to warm up our souls for the rebellion of spirits owed to giants the blue fairy meanders through the water in disguise swirling and circling crackling and whispering
each wave is a breath
the river breathes me in the river breathes me out

I really enjoy a song in German that is soft and sultry. Wonderful vocals. I love those beautiful 2nd’s/9th’s in the harmony. This is just supremely wonderful!!!! Bravo

Gently flowing guitar and soothing vocals soft as a whisper... the tempo change was a nice surprise. Intriguing imagery in the lyrics, very dreamy. 🌬🐟🌊

I try to follow the meaning as it slides out the window and dissolves into the sky. I dissolve a little with it. Cicada magic indeed! It's always interesting how you play that guitar, the way you accent certain beats. Great change of pace in the second half! Lovely all the way through

You got me drifting down the river, watching, hearing, smelling all the images and sprites passing by. Hope I don't hit the rapids without preparation!

Very poetic and I always approve of sliding fish and cicadas. Mice gentle music bed to support it all.

German is such a mellifluous language when you sing it. and Paul's guitar harmonizes with it so well. Lovely poetry filling the air.

The guitar is quite peaceful, the perfect accompaniment to your peaceful vocals. Love the stereo effect in the harmony (listening in headphones). Gorgeous!

The guitar is beautiful indeed and the glockenspiel complements it perfectly. Some truly imagery in here (“Unterwassergefunkel”). Thanks for these minutes of dreaming.

Nach ein paar Strophen hörte mein Geist auf, den Text zu analysieren. Stattdessen konzentrierte ich mich auf meine Gefühle. Ich hatte das Gefühl, auf einer Lichtung ein Nickerchen zu machen. Seltsame Träume kamen mir. Oder sind es die Geister des Waldes? (Danke DeepL, Ich hätte nie es allein auf Deutsch erklären können.)
