The best Rosenstolz album ever

I have this time a few days left with my review time. I did not want to let overwhelmed and drunk of happiness after the first hearing of my euphoria run wild, but think and write clearly and thoughtfully with a bit of distance.

Rosenstolz accompany me for 15 years by beautiful and sad times. No other band understands it, with their lyrics and melodies to touch me so and to captivate. Therefore, I lusted for new material and more than ever before a fever on the release date back at an album.

After the first listening I was as slain. Slain by the different feelings that convey the songs of the great texts as always, by the intensity of the songs. None of the 11 songs from falls. Each song for itself is dense and has its own quality. You can tell the album that it was not produced in one piece or in two recording sessions. Every song stands on its own, every song is different. This is the album more versatile than its two predecessors "The great life" and "The Search Continues".

"We are alive," is the most colorful album since "heart" and for me the best thing Rosenstolz has ever published. I have long wondered whether I can write this sentence as if he does not sound too fanduselig. But I stand by it. Never Rosenstolz were intense, honest, real and better.

Everything is there, what makes Rosenstolz and what I love: the produced at mainstream and charter smash hit, chanson, the anthem, the declaration of love for the hometown Berlin, the great ballad, the mandatory Peter-Song 'and yet everything is different , There has been much experimentation, without that the result sounds experiment. Everything is round and fits. Background There are choirs for increasing emotion; where previously only Streicher intensified the effect, now sounding voices. Bolero sounds intone short, rap, swing and techno influences are audible. But everything remains Rosenstolz not seemed fake, everything pure. Anna's familiar voice, the strings, the piano-Lines and the incomparable rosenstolzigschen texts can affect everything familiar and comforting.

"We are alive" is back to the roots, fireworks in the present and go-around at the same time in the future. A masterpiece that will not please everyone, but many will delight. Who does not like Rosenstolz will not let this album inspire, but he who loves Anna and Peter, who will be flashed and go with rosenstolz shear on the journey to a new dimension to music.

A few lines of text that are stuck with me and be me think and ponder for a long time can:

I am the life drunk, I am clear because I think '

Life remains hard living

There are so many beautiful words, but to us it occurred to me none.

And we light each other, and we keep each other warm.

Do not you know how good you are? how strong you are?

You're a firework that always recurs, you want to going up too high '.

Leide soft, your life is hard.

I know you can not see, but flying blind it will be nice.

Quick lived but never tired. Lost heart, unguarded.

Although I'm older, but not fined, have fallen, but not failed.

I run on the road, I place myself into the light, I know here in the dark because you can not see me.
