Song #500: Reinhard Mey - Bevor ich mit den Wölfen heule (1972)

Bevor ich mit den Wölfen heule, werd ich lieber harzig, warzig grau, verwandele ich mich in eine Eule oder vielleicht in eine graue Sau. Ich laufe nicht mit dem Rudel, ich schwimme nicht mit im Strudel, ich hab noch nie auf Befehl gebellt. Ich lasse mir nichts verhunzen, ich will nach Belieben grunzen, im Alleingang, wie es mir gefällt! Ich will in keinem Haufen raufen, laß mich mit keinem Verein ein!

Einmal so viel Begeisterung und Passion für etwas haben wie Dirk Bach beim Singen eines Bernd das Brot Titelsongs, das wär’s.

Better an end with horror than horror without end.

German proverb

(via thatswhywelovegermany)

3 of my co-workers didn´t appear for work yesterday. We wondered about it but not too much because the whole last year was like that.

Instead of giving note they were “sick” two of them suddenly appeared and wanted to talk to my boss. All three quit their jobs together for a “better” one and guess what?

WE ARE ALL HAPPY ABOUT IT!!!

Lorelei (Loreley)

In 1801, German author Clemens Brentano composed his ballad “Zu Bacharach am Rheine” as part of a fragmentary continuation of his novel “c”. It first told the story of an enchanting female associated with the rock. In the poem, the beautiful Lore Lay, betrayed by her sweetheart, is accused of bewitching men and causing their death. Rather than sentence her to death, the bishop consigns her to a nunnery. On the way thereto, accompanied by three knights, she comes to the Lorelei rock. She asks permission to climb it and view the Rhine once again. She does so, and, thinking that she sees her love in the Rhine, falls to her death; the rock ever afterward retaining an echo of her name. In 1824, Heinrich Heine seized on and adapted Brentano’s theme in one of his most famous poems, “Die Lorelei”. It describes the eponymous female as a sort of siren who, sitting on the cliff above the Rhine and combing her golden hair, unwittingly distracted shipmen with her beauty and song, causing them to crash on the rocks.
