Friendly faces is the eleventh German studio album by German songwriter Reinhard Mey and was released by Intercord in 1981 .

content

Reinhard Mey wrote a song about garbage collectors, the garbage collector's blues , and in summer he remembers past beautiful summers.

Life is ... describes the search for the meaning of life.

In Welch a Gift is a Song , Mey tells us that a song is something big and important and what it can do .

About pilots like Otto Lilienthal , Gail Halvorsen or Antoine de Saint-Exupéry , the songwriter sings the storm-proof sky dogs in All and thus takes up the topic of aviation again.

In the evening at your bedside is about a father who worries about his sleeping child.

Mey wrote the song Friendly Faces about his audience .

Reinhard Mey wrote another love song ... as long as I can remember .

The songwriter sings about various stages in his life in Don't let it happen today , and in Charlotte he sings about one of his teachers.

A father thinks about his child again in I've been wondering for a while , and the song of the same name deals with the difficulty of saying goodbye.
