On the 80th Floor

Funky, yet haunting music for a dark, cold Sunday afternoon:
Im 80. Stockwerk (On the 80th Floor - hit the arrow for embedded play!) by the inimitable Hildegard Knef

It´s a classic "lost girl in the city"-story with a surreal, eerie twist, and the music is just fantastic. I dig that superb bass, the spooky guitar and of course the "greatest singer without a voice" with her incredible style.



"On the 80th floor
in the house that doesn´t exist
in the city that doesn´t exist
there will be a girl.
she will be waiting for the man
she will be asking: when will he finally be here?

On the 80th floor
in the house that doesn´t exist
in the city that doesn´t exist
she will be sad.
She will be waiting for the man
She will be asking: when will he be here."
