Komm Zurück
Stephan Eicher · I Tell This Night [1985]
Ich versuche es immer, immer wieder
Mein Mund ist voller abgestandenem, fahlem Wasser
Mein Kopf ist voller heißem Eisen
Komm Zurück, oh bitte Komm Zurück
Die Zeit benützt einen stumpfen Skalpell
Die Zeit hat große rauhe Hände
Die Zeit'sie sitzt auf meinem Rücken und wartet, die Zeit ist nie in Eile
Komm Zurück, bitte, bitte Komm Zurück.
Komm Zurück
Komm Zurück stands as a defining track on Stephan Eicher's 1985 album I Tell This Night, capturing the artist's early mastery of blending French and German linguistic textures. Emerging during a pivotal era in his career, the recording showcases Eicher's signature baritone delivery and his ability to weave intimate, atmospheric pop with subtle electronic undertones. The song reflects the sophisticated, melancholic mood that characterized his work in the mid-1980s, establishing a sonic identity that would influence his subsequent discography. As part of a body of work that frequently explores themes of longing and introspection, this piece remains a testament to Eicher's unique position within the Francophone and Germanophone music scenes. Its enduring appeal lies in the seamless fusion of languages and the emotional resonance of the composition, marking it as a significant song in his extensive catalogue.
