Äpfel mit Birnen vergleichen

Once again being a child, in lilac May, with fluttering lark music – and spending hours observing the world. Gerhard Bächer takes the reader to the places of his childhood, where boyish dreams and longings are born. Glimpses from the astonished eyes of a boy watching the puffing steam locomotives. Descriptions of places in a borderland that conceals what lies beyond. The longings of yesteryear still exist, sometimes dreams without guardrails, sometimes the halo of the useless and the oppressive everyday life at the employment office. Today sitting in the stress express or another time in the tenderness express. His perspective on the spirit of the times, on the everyday stumbling blocks, his love letter to Berlin, to the world, to life itself is portrayed by Gerhard Bächer in an ironic, provocative, and cheerfully delightful manner. His songs and texts are a gift to readers and listeners, sensual, sensitive, and full of poetry.
