Biography

Sibylle Baier is a German folk singer and actress whose musical abilities achieved belated recognition with the 2006 release of the album Colour Green, compiled from songs she had recorded in the early 1970s. Having played guitar and piano as a young girl, she was moved to write her first song Remember The Day after taking a road trip with a friend across the Alps to Genoa, via Strasbourg. She appeared in Wim Wenders' 1974 film Alice In Den Städten (Alice In The Cities), and her music is also featured in Jochen Richter's Umarmungen Und Andere Sachen (1975) and in Wim Wenders' Palermo Shooting (2008) . Baier opted not to pursue an acting or singing career, and eventually moved to America where she concentrated on raising a family. The songs that went on to make up her album Colour Green were home reel-to-reel tape recordings Baier had made in Germany between 1970 and 1973. Some thirty years later her son [a2144161] compiled a CD from these recordings to give to family members as presents. He also gave a copy to Dinosaur Jr's J Mascis, who in turn passed it along to the Orange Twin label. Orange Twin released the album in February 2006. [a611702] is expected to release a second studio album.

LYRICS

I'd been a girl and wandering.
Frequented my late afternoon
summer in New York City,
wearin' the sweater colour green.
So one night I sat down in a chair and knitted there.

Years after trying to lead a woman's life, I met a friend who had a red-haired wife.

She said to me, Woman, I'd like your clothes. Come on and let us try both and take tender care. And when you need help I will be there

Memories and seasons achieve their affairs. Sometime in April the sweater I wear. Sometime in April the letter I read.

He wrote to me: Dear friend, I think of you on the top of Empire State. Dear friend, I'm lonesome. Dear friend, I've been well. How do you spell your name? The city has changed me. I am no longer the same.

He wrote to me: Woman, I'd like to stay. Liberty Statue has got so many stars, but when you need help I will be there.

I'd been a girl and wandering.
Frequented my late afternoon summer in New York City, wearin' the sweater colour green
