And then what you call life bursts into the music. In this case, unfortunately, a cancer diagnosis for Robert Forster’s wife/creative partner, Karin Bäumler. Songs that have been lying around for a long time suddenly become “a rescue hatch” (according to Forster), even if they don’t negotiate the malaise as explicitly as the freshly composed seven-word mantra “She’s A Fighter”z at the beginning.
In addition to building material “The Candle And The Flame” above all a declaration of love to their long relationship
Premonition or not – alongside uplifting material (“There’s A Reason To Live”) “The Candle And The Flame” Above all, it has become a declaration of love for their long relationship, with a look back at all these “Tender Years” (careful, Heidelberg Tourist Office!) and “The Roads” in Bavaria, which became friends for them, “they show us things we could never ever know”. The greatest song title is of course “I Don’t Do Drugs I Do Time”. But it’s also a great song that freezes, but doesn’t just look back, the incomprehensibility of time in Tom Petty-worthy lines like “I’m walking to school in ’69, the next day I’m 35.” “Make it stop and look ahead,” Forster sings, “see what’s coming around the bend.” As inevitable as it may be.
