Liebeslieder is an album by the songwriter and singer Hannes Wader from 1986.

Emergence

It is the first album since Hannes Wader sings Shanties (1978) that is largely without political songs . It includes love songs and ballads . Hannes Wader also recorded some older songs and ballads that have already been released on other albums.

It was the songwriter's last studio album for a long time. Until 1989 Hannes Wader did not record any further studio albums. He worked on his Hamburg Lied cycle, which appeared in 1989 under the name Nach Hamburg . By then, a live album was released with the title Until now for his 20-year autumn tour, which he undertook with Reinhard Bärenz.

description

The sound was mixed by Malcolm Devenish.

With “Blick zurück”, to be found on Es ist An der Zeit (1980), “Schlaf Liebste”, also on the road again (1979), and “Manche Stadt” on Der Rattenfänger, some love songs and ballads that have already been published are included.

"When You Hear My Songs" is a translation of Dick Gaughan's "A Different Kind of Love Song," which explains that even the sad, angry, and political songs he sings are actually love songs because their goal is that To make people happier. First, however, these would have to be shaken up.

“Everything will be so easy” and “Since you've been here” are about the relief and liberation that love can bring into a person's life.

"Lisa" is also about love. The protagonist, annoyed by the autumnal weather, leaves everything and sets off to meet his beloved. The song can also be found on the live album Until Now (1987).

"Mammi" deals in an ironic way with the exaggeration of the mother's care for her children.

“Jepestinija Stepanowa's Garden” deals with the life of a Soviet mother who lost her children in the war. Wader was inspired by an article in the magazine “ Soviet Union Today ”.
