Above all, I was surprised the incredible musical range. A really, really varied album in every respect.
In Narrenschiff he is supported by artists such STOPPOK and Hannes Wader and that makes the piece a musical jewel. Lyrically it deals with the grievances of the Republic of z. B. evasion and has "Lichtenstein" also a topic. One can see from this example that Reinhard Mey creates some truly timeless classics.
In the title piece "Message in a Bottle" is about the desire for closeness and friendship. Beautiful title but he is under a bit due to the other incredible tracks.
"The brother" about a stay in the US and a blind eye to arms and even unpleasant things. Beautiful blues melody and a very critical text.
"Love is everything" is then for me the song of the CD. A beautiful love song in which everything fits. Ear and heart what you want more.
Very vividly are the next two pieces "The Biker" and "What a lucky one you are". The biker is about a past love, which comes to life after an accident again and you swear to do everything better.
"What a lucky one you are" is a veritable ode to the family in which everyone must feel simply addressed with family.
In the other title Reinhard Mey remaining at a very high level, lyrically, and music Alich. It covers the topics civilian (Hip hip hurray), forgiveness (pardon) and so all kinds of what the incident and he does just incredibly well.
Outstanding yet "The Nasemann" which is lyrically humorous and upbeat melody returns. It's just fun to hear this title and you can hardly get him out of the ear.
Reinhard Mey is and remains the master of his craft.
