"Aglow" Coppé + Barbara Morgenstern

Coppé + Barbara Morgenstern

Coppé releases her music on bit-phalanx, a net-label, which I´m deeply connected to. Leigh, the owner of bit-phalanx invited me to play in Great Britain in 2014. A tour with Coppé was planned, but that unfortunately failed.

Then they both came to Berlin, but again I was out of town, but luckily we met for 15 minutes in my kitchen.
It was just a very short moment, but this moment worked – love at first sight!
We both had the immediate idea to write something together. Coppé suggested to do something based on vocals, which immediately triggered an idea in my head.

A few days later I recorded a first sketch, sent it to Coppé in Tokyo and she recorded the main vocals.
The the song changed direction (as songs always do, they have their own inner lives) and developed into a minimal pophit with a japanese hookline a slight James Bond appeal (1.40 min).

Not only our secret family hit! :-)

Lyrics

totsuzen sora kara lazor mitaina …
hika~ri ga olitekite …
pale blue de ma~shiro de …
nagare boshi mitaini itchokusen …
sokomade haa~ haa~ hashi~temitara …
oh my my … oh my my …

kin no nobeboh … zaku zaku … doki doki …
kin no nobeboh … zaku zaku … doki doki …

sonna yoruga … attara iina~ …

brief translation

all of a sudden … falling from the sky …
i see this pale blue + white lazor beemish light
straight as an arrow … like a shooting star …

so i run over there … rushing rushing running running …
+ i get there + c … oh my my … oh my my …
mountains + mountains of shinny shinny gold bars …
zaku zaku … doki doki … zaku zaku … doki … doki …

… i’m wishing  … the nite like that will happen 2 me soooooooon … :) :) :)
