A political issue, but also so much more

If you sit in the merrymaking of wine round and whispers plays (the wine is not essential), you will always amazed about how the whispered messages during the round change their content and their meaning and begin a life of its own. You had said something completely different!
That may think Mia Also, if you read the reviews of their latest album. They want "not shocking, but alarming". Being a German, should no longer be a political issue, talk about it either. With this album, especially the song "What It Is" Mia have created but just that - a political issue. The people of the Germans: a sex offender who has long been dismissed by the international community as treated and cured, but the therapy does not trust itself; an alcoholic who is finally dry and yet life is afraid of the recent temptation. It is clear that a generation whose parents were, at best, children, when the war was finally over, does not want longer hewn original sin around the ears. What the do-gooders in mirror & Co. particularly excited, was the line: ". If you ask me now, where I come from / Tu I not sorry for myself" formulaic, was agitated as the GDR era, every attitude is denounced that the drummed Demutsmief, a kind of Catholic Büßermentalität contradicts. It is quite possible also that because of a critic has written off the other, a sort of written "Chinese whispers" So.
Perhaps the album is just at this point punk, not a genre, but as a protest when Mia oppose a firmly cemented social consensus, which no doubt had once justified, but now long (as much in this country) is obsolete. The band in the same song describes our zeitgeist so well as currently no other (and I can see it with the best will not Nationalist): "Louise writes to me from America. / You appreciate directness there. / And in Ibiza dancing Matthias in, Pasha '. / This is our present. / I feel like is changing everything. / And as I myself can change / What cramped in my life, / For Change begins with history at. "Clearly the strongest song on the album. Maybe this song will outlive even as evidence of the lifestyle of young people at the beginning of the millennium the time.
But enough, the album also features other songs. "It comes at some point somehow somewhere it all back." This quote (which reminds me of a song by Nena) is musical program. Mia operate quite openly at Punk and NDW, but after 25 years this music sounds amazingly fresh again. Nina Hagen stared at that time TV, and Mia now have green electricity. Abundant 25 years ago, Ideal sang the "Blue Eyes", now it is the "bruises".
The songs are powerful, partly angry (whether smoother than the debut, I can not say that I do not know yet). The lyrics are sometimes very grown up, even though the text can still be worked hard (I do not mean the contents of the message, but the words and pictures -. Example, the metaphor "Sweet Bird of Youth", which simply sounds Schlager) - it's also a point deduction.
"Will you forgive me if I encourage you?" What is there to forgive? I ask! And by the way, to yet again on "What it is" coming back: no one sings the word "love" as beautiful as Kitty.
This is my way of seeing things. But listening to the album itself, because perhaps you understand something entirely different. And let's see how the course of the years will change the messages of "Whispers".
