Zum Video: The songmaker

Nach dem letzten Konzert in Wien gegen Ende des Nachtmahls nimmt mein kanadischer Schwiegersohn Matthew meine Gitarre aus dem Kasten und singt „The Songmaker“, ein Lied, das er für mich für diesen Abend geschrieben hat. Einfach so, aus dem Nichts, ohne Vorwarnung, rührt uns zu Tränen, und sein Gesang bezwingt – wie Orpheus einst die wilden Tiere – sogar das unabstellbare Klaviergeklimper im Hintergrund. Gut, dass Sali und meine Frau ihre Smartphones im Anschlag hatten.

Danke, Matthew!

The song maker (Song & Lyrics Matthew Pearn)

Verse:

This is a song for the song maker
The right from wrong maker
The life long love maker

Some time has past and he’s a bit weiß-er
A little bit wiser
The worlds truth writer

Chorus:

We will be right there singing along
To those lonely songs
Those lonely songs

When you forget the words we’re singing along
Those lovely songs
Those lovely songs

Verse:

So let’s sing a song for the song maker
Alone leading the prayer
A Lied made of love’s labour

Doesn’t need nothing in return
A log on the fire to burn
A quiet heart to stir

Chorus:

We will be right there singing along
To those lonely songs
Those lonely songs

When you forget the words we’re singing along
To those lovely songs
Those lovely songs

Bridge:

In the darkest nights
When the music has had it’s time
We’ll keep the hearth lit for the light

So you can come on home
And bask in the glow
While we keep you oh so close

Chorus:

We will be right there singing along
To those lonely songs
Those lonely songs

When you forget the words we’re singing along
To those lovely songs
Those lovely songs
