You will find me if you want me
In the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain...
You will find me waiting for the spring and summer
You will find me waiting for the fall
You will find me waiting for the apples to ripen
You will find me waiting for them to fall
You will find me waiting by the banks of all four rivers
You will find me by the spring of consciousness
You will find me if you want me
In the garden
Unless it's pouring down with rain...

Einsturzende Neubauten - 1996
This eerie song is from their 1996 album Ende Neu. These are the lyrics in their entirety... excluding the many times he repeats the title phrase. Which Blixa supposedly wrote after over hearing a conversation between elderly women in a supermarket. An insistant glissando bass thumps in time with a single note on an electric piano flows into a cascade of descending strings like cobwebs in in the full moonlight. Einsturzende Neubauten is best when they go for atmosphere like this --some of their songs are full of bellowing Germans and crashing trashcan lids. Hey you know, if yer into that sorta thing.

I listened to a 30 second clip of this song. With music like that at home, no wonder the Germans love David Hasselhoff! Just kidding. It was pretty cool.
