Sister Sun

Alphaville · Other Songs - Alphaville

Tell me is it really true

There's something goin' on

Outside

I just can feel it

I heard it on the radio

I'm not allowed to go

Outside

I can't believe it

There's a big hole in the sky

Where the radiation's breaking through

And we just sit and stare

Like the rabbit at the snake

There's so much we could do

But we gotta do it now

Cause it's gettin' pretty late

Better hurry now

We all need the sun

We need love and light for everyone

We need our atmosphere

To live in here

We could be so strong



We overthrow the government and stop

What's goin' wrong

We're fighting for the sun

It's really hard to understand

The change of sister sun

As if your sunny smile

Would turn into a deadly one

It's not a quality of life

To live inside a mighty trap

To have that ice-cold coke beyond the radiation gap

There should be more resistance

Against industrial trusts

And if there's no solution, there should be revolution

I wonder if we start in time, we're racing with the seconds

I wonder if we've got enough to talk to stupid politicians

We all need the sun...

Hold on to revolution...members of the earth, lets fighting for the sun

About Sister Sun

"Sister Sun" by Alphaville stands as a defining track from the band's 1989 album *The Breathtaking Blue*, capturing the quintessential new wave and synth-pop sound of the era. The song features the group's signature blend of melodic synthesizers and driving rhythms, characteristic of their discography which includes hits like "Forever Young" and "Big In Japan." Released during a period when the band was refining their polished, dance-oriented approach, the recording exemplifies the genre's emphasis on catchy hooks and atmospheric production. As a staple of their catalog, "Sister Sun" remains a recognizable representation of late 80s European pop, showcasing the band's ability to craft memorable, radio-friendly anthems that bridged the gap between art rock and mainstream dance music.
