It must have been a very long time ago in my earliest childhood,
I have heard the song "Tief drin im Böhmerwald", a well-known folksong, the first time.
And somehow I must have knewn it unwittingly,
that this song would play an important role
in my later life.
Only this words survived in my memory during the years,
but who cares about? This few words gave the skeleton for a own,
joky lyrics, which was born in my head bit by bit.
And curiously enough not only the lyrics changed, even the melody
suddenly became different,
so I am wondering today, hearing the original, which melody really it has.
In contrast to the original my version don't tell about nice childhood remembrance,
but portrays the less sunny days of a difficult childhood in the - how the title let expect
I was surprised by myself, too,
but the inspiration made possible a
An now, in opposite to Lucille,
where the end in the song not looked funny yet,
the nice end can already heared in the song.
As I found an awesome suit at the attic for a carnival party,
which remembered me at Peter from the fairytale film "Heidi",
I realized, that this even would be a good outfit for a cover picture.
And so it was.
Actually this is my first coverphoto - I had to capture it,
because it was made years ago with an old reflex camera.
There were only a few of photos made
- no way of comparison to later projects,
we never ended under hundrets of photos...
The design was one of my first - you will recognize at the not well-engineered
The Demo-CD "Sow-cold forest of Böhmen"
And the CD itself got an fitting design, too:
The CD was recorded with my best opera-tenor-voice
(so sorry that I cannot play it here because §§)
(Remark: Dear English-speaking visitor, The song only sounds really good in the German language. I have translated it, so that you can follow the story)
