In music, the power is

With the appearance of "May rain" had not just me wondering if and how Reinhard Mey could play "dragon's blood", the song for his lying in a vegetative state son Max, he even presented the Concert 2008 in Wetzlar on stage as part of the tour squads would have. In a way, represents "dragon's blood" for me a counterpart to Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" is; Both musicians are trying to deal with the loss of her son, musically, and I expected that Reinhard Mey would act desperate. "Give me music!" is expected to be quiet unusual than the optimistic "Thank you, dear fairy godmother" CD, with Reinhard Mey radiates a great composure and strength here; you can feel how his music, as he often portrays in his songs, which gives strength to endure this crisis.

From the concert program of the 2008 tour three songs left over: "Bunter Hund", "Men in the construction market" and "Thank you, dear fairy godmother," said Reinhard Mey latter updated in one place with a wink politically. Had he alluded to in "Men in the construction market" on his hit "In the air," said Mey quoted in this time "Good night my friends". From "Mairegen" album he played ten songs live, and I must say with some distance that touch me songs like "Antje" and especially "Ficus Benjami", a song about a plant in the waiting room of a doctor's office (!), Not very ,

The "Song for Klaus' 60th birthday of his friend, the singer-songwriter Klaus Hoffmann, and with" Music Police ", two new songs are again to be found on any studio CD, which I particularly" Music Police ", a snappy appeal against the acoustic pollution, very out of the heart speaks! Hardly a concert of recent years seems to end without "a quarter to seven" and "Farewell, farewell, good night" to get along; for Reinhard Mey has been excavated with "autumn storm over roofs" and the "railroad ballad" two beautiful old songs, as he does often - I wish to hear from him live many more such ancient artifacts!

"Give me music" is the title of a concert evening, impressed with a force of a little transfers to the listener, and as usual, come the songs in this intimate live atmosphere better for me over as the studio albums that. One can only hope that what he "would have to say," takes longer than a cigarette, and Reinhard Mey yet "is music" also us much.
