Über den Wolken

"Above the Clouds" is a comprehensive tribute to the renowned songwriter Reinhard Mey, released in celebration of the 50th anniversary of his iconic song. This 100-page magazine offers a unique perspective on Mey's work by presenting an interview in verse form, where the artist responds to questions with his own lyrics from six decades. Readers can almost feel the melodies resonate as they enjoy the profound and personal insights into Mey's life and career. Additionally, the work features an impressive photo report on the JadeWeserAIRPORT, which served as an inspiration for the song. The magazine is further enriched by texts that illuminate Mey's beginnings in Vienna and his successes in France, along with previously unpublished photos. Another contribution discusses the impact of Mey's music on an activist fighting against the apartheid regime in South Africa. Editors Oliver Wurm and Thilo Komma-Pöllath reflect in their editorial on the special significance Reinhard Mey holds for his fans and how his music serves as a companion throughout life.
