about
Friede Merz captures the zeitgeist of Berlin in 2020. all you locked up club kids: this is your hymn to get you through the Berlin Corona Winter.
lyrics
this is Berlin in 2020
empty streets and empty bottles, oh how many
solo online raves must I stand
before my pals admit that raving solo is plain bland
I get all dressed up, I pour some champagne
just out of a habit but it’s not the same.
I know I’m not alone in my isolation blues
I know you feel the same, and so I sing to you
I love you,
I miss you
it’s been such a long time since I
kissed you
for the last time
in Berghain,
above Panorama bar
we were soaring through the night sky
this is Berlin in 2020
sluts and queens and queers and bears and twinks aplenty
everybody’s bored out of their minds
without a place to fuck in public tell me, what’s the point?
oh, do you recall when rubber gloves
and facial masks we wore down in the holy halls
for fashion, safer sex and safer use
until we may go back there I will sing to you
I love you,
I miss you
it’s been such a long time since I
kissed you
for the last time
in Berghain
above Panorama bar
we were soaring through the night sky
Recorded on the Grecian isle of Hydra, this is blissed-out psych pop with stacked falsetto harmonies and luscious arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 9, 2023
Two dozen 12-string acoustic improvisations that feel undeniably haunting, like lost transmissions from ancient Appalachia, rediscovered. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 17, 2022
