Biography

Alphaville is a German synth-pop band centered around vocalist [a=Marian Gold] ([a=Hartwig Schierbaum]), formed in 1982 in Münster. Started out as a trio with Gold backed by synth players [a=Bernhard Lloyd] and [a=Frank Mertens]. At the end of '81, Gold and Lloyd (Frank would come in not long afterwards) took part in a concert with 5 other artists, as [b]Nelson Community[/b]. Initially the band name was [b]Forever Young[/b], however, after a few months they changed the name inspired by [a833999]'s film: Alphaville "the city of the future". Which, incidentally, represented even better their whole project. Mertens left the band in late 1984 and was replaced by [a=Ricky Echolette] ([a=Wolfgang Neuhaus]), in early 1985. The band is still active today, playing new concerts and also promoting re-mastered re-releases of their first albums.

LYRICS

This day's an invitation
And it's just for you
You've got a reservation
For the 17th of June
Open your eyes
And let the sun break in for a while
There may be something
That you've never seen inside

Feel how your heart beats
Like a heavy machine
The sound of the traffic
Is like a silent dream

The dust in the park
The exhaust from the cars
Ascends in that heated afternoon
(You touch a sweaty body!)

Summer in Berlin, it's alright
The day feels so tired
From the lead in the air
And the fire in the skies

Life seemed to be a fault of grace
But it's ok
It gave you a kiss
In the middle of the crossroads

Summer in Berlin, it's alright
The heat of the sun
Which is stored in the pavement
Feels so fine

Here stands the innocent
And there it comes oh so wild
That's when you're longing
For a summer by the wall

Summer in Berlin, it's alright
Summer in Berlin, it's ok
