about

The song "The Eighties" is inspired by a class reunion. In view of this meeting, I returned in my imagination to school - all the good and bad memories. But as you would expect, I quickly realized that nobody is stopping the wheel of time.
But the music, the songs of this time, stay with you all your life.

lyrics

THE EIGHTIES

As I was a teen aged boy – “New Wave” came over me
Then I heard “The Waterboys” – “New Romantics” set me free

Then I got “The look of love” I don’t know why
and “The Cure” told me then, that “Boys don’t cry”

Then I loved a green eyed girl, she was so beautiful
Got a letter of that girl, hated then to go to school

On my road to jealousy I lost my way
Never saw her again, but maybe today

Back to the eighties we go today
We were young and we were wild, I’m still an eighties child
Back to the eighties we go today
How I wish I could return right now

In the years of innocence I never thought ‘bout love and hate
Tried to live in different ways, now I believe in fate

And as the night begins I’m not afraid
No matter what the future brings – I won’t be sad

Back to the eighties we go today
We were young and we were wild, I’m still an eighties child
Back to the eighties we go today
How I wish I could return right now

Dreamin’ of the future, livin’ in the past
I hope I find the presence till I breathe my last
I’m goin’ through that doorway, through the mist of time
Movin’ into nowhere, waitin’ for your sign.

Back to the eighties we go today
We were young and we were wild, I’m still an eighties child
Back to the eighties we go today
How I wish I could return right now

B-a-c-k, back to the eighties
Back to the eighties we go today
How I wish I could return
How I wish I could return right
How I wish I could return right now

UEBERSCHAER Bremen, Germany

"I study trends curiously, but without following them. I love music, which exceeds the limits of clichés. I am very open- minded and hungry for knowledge.

I don’t have to try to reinvent music with each chord, but I am trying to improve and develop myself constantly. In Composing I can explore and discover. I can conquer new worlds, express feelings and create and juggle with sounds and tones. ... more
