it's yours my friend.
Let's talk about the moon over the
Café
Carlisle.
The moon always had been a symbol and a
theme to so many writers and composers.
A theme of love and romance.
Also a theme of craziness, addiction,
and all of that.
So many songs
have been written about the moon.
Ah, which ones did I choose?
The moon dance,
Ren
Morrison.
Moon over
Bourbon
Street,
Sting.
The grapefruit moon,
Tom
Waits.
The moon at the window,
Joni
Mitchell, and all those lovely,
sarcastic moons written
by
Bertolt
Brecht and
Kurt
Weill.
You know, the moon, after all,
is involved.
Right now he thinks he's in
Spain, in the city right there in the north,
and he sees
this new museum built
somewhere in the last century.
It's not so new anymore.
Lots of aluminum, lots of reflection.
Ooh, the moon is slightly confused to
see his brother right down there in this little
Spanish city.
That looks like me.
So he looks through
the glass roof of the
Palhaus in that city
and he sees the old pianist
Joe playing in that pub.
Joe is so old, he's older than the moon,
he's already in his next life
and he knows all those
beautiful melodies about the moon.
Ach,
Joe, play me one more time the
song from those old, old, old days.
Wie hat dir der Song gefallen?
