We recently reported:
Marius-Müller Westernhagen will release his new album “Das Eine Leben” on May 20th. The pre-single “Zeitgeist” will be released next week, on March 25th. It is Westernhagen’s first studio album with new compositions since 2014.
According to information from his record company, the work will deal with “his very own experiences over the past two years”, but also “socially critical topics” under the impression of the corona pandemic. One Life was produced in New Jersey with Larry Campbell. Photos and the clip for “Zeitgeist” are by Olaf Heine.
Westernhagen published a short video of the shoot on social media:
Most recently, MMW caused a stir on the web when he posted a photo of himself getting vaccinated, caption, based on his old hit: “Freiheit”. He received overwhelming encouragement for this, only a few users could not understand the fact that vaccination means freedom in social life.
A clear sign from Marius Müller-Westernhagen: the musician showed on Instagram on Friday (February 4th) what “freedom” looks like for him. One photo shows him with his arm rolled up as he receives a vaccination. Many of his fans see the post as a clear statement to all opponents of vaccination. How he thinks about the fact that lateral thinkers have been playing his song “Freiheit” again and again on Corona demos for some time and otherwise use it for their purposes, he had not previously made public.
But this message should now be unmistakable:
Marius Müller-Westernhagen has been vaccinated
Many users see this as a clear positioning of Marius Müller-Westernhagen, and Greens politician Angela Dorn, Minister for Science and Art in Hesse, explained: “Sometimes artists do not want to leave the interpretation of their works to others.” Critics, however, scoff at the fact that you can vaccination do not have any real freedom and see the democratic rights enshrined in the Basic Law in danger, despite freedom of expression and the possibility of demonstrations in Germany.
Westernhagen’s song “Freiheit” had already become the soundtrack for political and social change. The song, released in 1987, experienced an upswing as a result of reunification.
