The ninth German studio album by German songwriter Reinhard Mey was not a quiet minute and was released in 1979 by Intercord .

content

Reinhard Mey processes things he has experienced in the songs Happy Birthday To Me , Dieter Malinek, Ulla and I , a song about a childhood sweetheart , and witness day , in which parents are honored who stand in front of their son against external attacks.

The topic of “children” remains an important source for new songs after it had already moved into focus on the previous German studio album Menschenjunges . In no quiet moment the song of the same name is a fresh father of the exhausting but exhilarating experience. Everything is good is a lullaby.

As always since the first German studio album, love songs can be found on this album. It is about exterminators, transparent covers, about you and me and what do I know about you? .

Thoughtful songs are memories , a song that contrasts the changeability of the world with the permanence of memories, of castles in the air that are broken, that tells of failure and a new beginning, and the farewell song from today and from here , in the one of a separation and theirs Processing considerations is told.

Finally, satirical songs can also be found on the album: Dr. Seamless, Dr. Sägeberg and Dr. Hein parodies the medical system that diagnoses people sick rather than healthy, and Daddy Blue describes how the hit industry builds up pseudo stars and drops them if they fail.
