Wolkenfrei - Wachgeküsst (Wake up kiss)

The world is pretty crazy at the moment. Let's escape to a good love story. Here's one of my favorite Europop song: Wachgeküsst

Duran Duran - Come Undone

This is one of my all time favorite songs.It is upbeat, but also down tempo.
It provides a place of refuge for tired souls. Listening to it after a day (or week) of hard work and headaches is like therapy.

Especially now, with Covid-19 wreaking havoc across the world, we all need a safe place to unwind -- to come undone.

Sofi Tukker - Matadora (Medina Remix)

This is a great song from a relatively new band.

It is smooth, catchy, punchy, and unlike anything you've heard before.

If the lyrics sound alien to you, they should, because they're Brazilian/Portuguese.

Those weirdos right? 😉

   

Here's another one from them that's even more hypnotic: Swing


Both are on my current playlist.

Wolkenfrei - Champs-Élysées

This is one of those songs that you can't help but smile while listening to it.

"Magic of Paris
I can still feel the spell
The city of love and you
And me, weak in the knees

----

Champs-Élysées
And time stood still
So in love with love
On the banks of the Seine
Je ne regrette rien"

Wow! The Parisian magic is real. Throw caution in the wind and go with the flow. Danse!

The singer's name is Vanessa Mai and her voice is simply angelic.
German sounds so beautiful here. You can follow along with the German lyrics below.

This song is dedicated to the collaboration between Germans and French since the Age of Enlightenment. Together, these great peoples set aside their differences and bitter history to form the European Union.
Peace and prosperity find happiness. Music connect people and cultures.
When a great message is presented in beautiful art, magic happens. This, is magic!




Lyrics and translation:

Zauber von Paris

Ich spür' noch die Magie

Die Stadt der Liebe und du

Und ich, weiche Knie

Voulez-vous danser

Ich sagte nur ok

Und wir tanzen beim Rendez-Vous

Auf den Champs-Élysées

Champs-Élysées

Und die Zeit, sie blieb stehn

So verliebt in die Liebe

An den Ufern der Seine

Je ne regrette rien

Ja, ich ließ es geschehn

Und mein Herz lernte fliegen

Jetzt versteh ich „je t'aime“

Oh, Champs-Élysées

Heiße Leidenschaft

Und so viel gelacht

Das Lied der Sehnsucht gespielt

Von Sternen bewacht

Und von Weitem her

Tanzt das Lichtermeer

Und nach der Nacht ein Croissant

Und ein Café au Lait

Champs-Élysées

Und die Zeit, sie blieb stehn

So verliebt in die Liebe

An den Ufern der Seine

Je ne regrette rien

Ja, ich ließ es geschehn

Und mein Herz lernte fliegen

Jetzt versteh ich „je t'aime“

Oh, Champs-Élysées

Champs-Élysées

Und die Zeit, sie blieb stehn

So verliebt in die Liebe

An den Ufern der Seine

Es war so wunderschön

Ja, ich ließ es geschehn

Und mein Herz lernte fliegen

Jetzt versteh ich „je t'aime“

Oh, Champs-Élysées

English translation

Magic of Paris
I can still feel the spell
The city of love and you
And me, weak in the knees

Voulez-vous danser
All I said was OK
And we danced at our rendezvous
On the Champs-Élysées

Champs-Élysées
And time stood still
So in love with love
On the banks of the Seine
Je ne regrette rien

Yes, I let it happen
And my heart learned to fly
Now I understand "je t'aime"
Oh, Champs-Élysées

Burning passion
And so much laughter
We played the song of longing
Watched by the stars
And from far away

The sea of light dances
And after the night a croissant
And a café au lait

Champs-Élysées
And time stood still
So in love with love
On the banks of the Seine
Je ne regrette rien

Yes, I let it happen
And my heart learned to fly
Now I understand "je t'aime"
Oh, Champs-Élysées

Champs-Élysées
And time stood still
So in love with love
On the banks of the Seine

It was so marvelously lovely
Yes, I let it happen,
And my heart learned to fly
Now I understand "je t'aime"
Oh, Champs-Élysées
