Alphaville - Summer Rain (Die 2 im Zweiten, 31.08.1989)

„My golden circus girls all sailed away...“ Summer Rain.
In 1947 at the age of 19, with a symbolic gesture Yves Klein signed his name in the sky over Nice. It wasn't an act of megalomania, it was the artistic expression for the appopriation of the universe. But megalomaniac or artist, who can tell the difference. Fact is there was no resistance. No move in the solid skies, no gleaming metal out of the breathtaking blue. God had left us long ago for a brandnew universe. He had left us alone with all our contradictional talents: love and hate, foolishness and cleverness, creativity and lust for destruction. And what he left was a perfect blue sky, and a man with the composite name of two famous fashion designers was the first to set foot into this godforsaken emptiness.
Years later in 1960, Klein proclaimed his "saut dans le vide" (leap into the void) by a photomontage, which apparently shows him jumping off a wall, arms outstretched, towards the pavement. Now, big deeds are easy to follow. One giant leap we had already taken up to this weird moon of stardom, bare of the gods we expected to find. Now we were about to write our third album that could only be another masterpiece of ours, though we knew we weren't ready to do it. But it had to be. The jump into the void.
We composed songs as if we would timber the planks for a raft to carry us across this ocean of uncertainty. Then out of the blue something wondrous happened. For me it came about when we wrote Summer Rain. All at once a center arose from our desperate endevours and everything else started to circle around it. The circle became a bubble. The bubble carried us into the void. Into it, not across. Depth, not surface. It just happened because we dared to jump. And it was not because we were heroes. There was simply no other choice. We had started the show without reading the plot, now we were part of it. Maybe exactly that is the conundrum of almost every of our albums. They are spectacles wherein the actors perform without knowing the plot. But there is a plot. There must be.
In his famous photomontage from 1960, Klein flew towards the pavement but he never hit the ground. Instead he died two years later at the age of 34 following a heart attack. One could speculate, he changed for another universe. Like God in "Summer Rain" or at that bright blue day in 1947.
Isn't it that we always follow a god? And though many people claim they had found it, it doesn't seem to help very much concerning the sad affairs of the world. Maybe because gods are exclusively responsible for the ever next chamber, the ever next space, the ever next possibility. Following them is a race against the improbability of likelihood. Or vice versa.
The protagonist in Summer Rain waits for the end of the world. He does not understand that his waiting conditions the end of the world. He thinks the end of the world is something that must happen. But no, it happens because nothing happens anymore. It happens by his refusal to jump into the next void. Endlessly he will wait without knowing that the end is here since long.
At the time we were working on our third album I saw one of Kleins paintings in the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. A canvas painted in perfect blue. The name of the colour is IKB, PB29, CI 77007, patent-registered by Yves Klein. It was exactly that breathtaking blue as I imagined it in our song. I was 34 then and my life had just begun. And then we jumped...

[@romanstalmasek2521]

Great voice, atmosphere and performance

[@7ravan]

Marian Gold amo com todo respeito vc e suas lindas músicas desde minha juventude. Tenho 72 anos e te desejo muitas felicidades. Suas músicas me fizeram até certo ponto feliz. FOREVER YOUNG é tudo de bom.

[@mariaassuntaboi1089]

Le canzoni di Marian rendono felice anche me 😊 sono meravigliose!❤❤❤❤❤

[@mirdala5231]

He really does have just the most perfect voice and this song showcases it beautifully. It's probably my favourite song of Alphaville's ever.

[@mariaassuntaboi1089]

Favolosa band degli anni 80 che io ho conosciuto solo il 2 ottobre dell'anno 2021...che fortuna ho avuto quella sera nel vedere e sentire in televisione per la prima volta la voce di Marian e gli Alphaville!!!! Sono quindi andata alla ricerca delle loro fantastiche canzoni che ascolto ogni giorno. 😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@thorstenschneider5554]

Even though I'm aware of the atomic theme of the song, it always gave me a feeling (probably due to its romanticism and melancholy) of great inner peace, which sometimes meant the world to me. The first time I heard it, it felt like paradise - and I'm not kidding. I still love it (and the whole album). Thank you, Alphaville! A very nice performance, by the way. :-)

[@southbug27]

I think that type of thing is common especially if you first hear a song when you’re a kid or young teen. There are so many songs from the 70s & 80s that would make me feel good in different ways & then once I was an adult & listening to the song again, I realized what some of the lyrics meant. 😳

[@susanreynolds9607]

Marion is the best singer I have ever heard of and what a good looking man he is.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊

[@svetiklv1407]

Классная композиция, голос играет разными тембрами!

[@ElenaShapovalova]

Рассказ под видео интересный и познавательный, есть, о чём подумать. Акцент сделан на том, как важно решиться совершить "прыжок в пустоту". В моём понимании, главное при этом, чтобы прыгающий в пустоту человек сам не был пустотой. То есть человеку нужно знать себя и свои возможности и решиться их применить. Пустой человек (то есть не знающий своих возможностей), прыгнув в пустоту, рискует с ней слиться. Вероятно, ожидание и нерешительность героя песни связаны с незнанием или недооценкой себя.
Песня очень красивая, мелодия - сама нежность. Но, как оказалось, песня совсем не про романтику, что удивило.
Прекрасный альбом, и рассказ о его создании очень понравился, большое спасибо!
✨🎶✨, 🤲💐👏👏👏👏👏!

[@dorinamihalache6671]

👍😊Hello dear Elena , yes, the same here, 🤔as you, i was a little confused too, because not knowing the story of the song, hearing this beautiful melody, i thought is a romantic song, very emotional too.... But then, reading the story, I've realized that has nothing romantic, even the melody and the voice it's making you believe that, the song it has a romantic tone ❤.... Reading the text, i could picture in my mind the whole story, 😃, as a little fantasy film!!!✨😊
Probably, is up to the listener, of how will perceive this magic song.... 😊✨🌷🌷🌷✨🎶🎶🎶

[@ElenaShapovalova]

​@@dorinamihalache6671
👋🙂! Спасибо, Дорина! Я тоже подумала, когда читала рассказ, что каждый воспринимает по-своему, и не только эту песню. Если не ошибаюсь, в каком-то интервью автор тоже об этом говорил. А ещё Вы когда-то написали про резонанс, то есть как песня отзывается, с каким событием может быть связана, что очень верно и тоже у всех по-разному.
🤲🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹!

[@dorinamihalache6671]

​​@@ElenaShapovalova👍😊✨Yes, thank you too✨💖🌷✨.... The "Breathtaking Blue" is an fascinating album 💙💎.... And we are resonating with the amazing Alphaville musical Universe!!! 🎼🎵🎶🌌
