The Kinks: Sunny Afternoon (mein Lieblingssong für alle Zeiten)
Laurie Anderson: O Superman
Black: Wonderful World (war das der Titel?)
Donna Summer: State of Independance
Herman’s Hermits: My Sentimental Friend

„Southern Jukebox Music“ vom Penguin Cafe Orchestra tauchte leider nie in einer Jukebox auf, nicht mal dort, wo Simon Jeffes es am liebsten gehört hätte, in Louisianna …

Und ist es nicht traurig, dass das Lied, aus dem die folgenden Zeilen stammen, die du auf Anhieb mitsingen kannst, Gregor, leider nie auf einer Single landete … !?:

„Here he comes
The night is like a glove and he’s floating like a dove
That catches the wind in the deep blue sky.“

Paul in Mid-Air

| Filed under: Blog | RSS 2.0 | TB | Comments off

Here he comes, the guy,
56, named Paul Buchanan,

who knows the news
coming from his room at 3 a.m. of the soul

who leaves out words, sounds
thereby emptying the scenery

who makes certain lines wander
through your head again and again

who lets this musique noir glow, yes, glow
until its final dying sigh

who offers a lesson in melancolia
being a really good time (in a way)

(well, not really)
(well, sometimes)

… so, by the way, dear reader,
what are the „cars in the garden“ about?
