Ingo's Ayla project was founded in 1995. When the debut single ‘Ayla’ was released it became an instant hit in his native country. It's worldwide success a few years later was due in part to the euphoric Taucher remix by compatriots, producers Ralph Armand Beck and Torsten Stenzel. It remains Kunzi's biggest chart success to date. The track was used in a McDonald's commercial, and appeared on the soundtrack of the British comedy film Kevin & Perry Go Large.
Ayla's second release was the single Atlantis. Four further singles followed: Ayla Pt. 2, a collaboration with Beck and Stenzel; Liebe (Love), a cover of the Cosmic Baby classic; Kunzi's self-confessed all-time-favorite Ayla track, Angelfalls - Radio Cut and Into the Light. These tracks, 'Atlantis' excepted, were collected on the successful debut Ayla album, Nirwana, released in 1999. The harder singles Singularity (Brainchild II) and 'Sun Is Coming Out' followed the LP.
In 2002 Kunzi put his Ayla project on hiatus. It was not until nine years later, in 2011, that he returned with the long-awaited second Ayla album, Unreleased Secrets.

Ayla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like rain on my skin
You lead me safe to shore
When you softly call me name
You come to me with breeze
Like the wind surrounding me
Embrace my soul within
As you carry me out of the sea
Ayla
x2:
Ayla, send me to the sun
Lift me up and give me strength
To spread my wings and fly
repeat
The lyrics to Ayla's song "Ayla" speak to the idea of finding comfort and tranquility within another person. The imagery of rain on skin and the use of nature metaphors such as wind and waves convey the idea that the subject of the song represents a safe haven for the singer, one that soothes and relieves them of any strife or chaos they may be experiencing. The repetition of the name "Ayla" serves to emphasize the importance of this person in the singer's life as well as to create a melodic hook that is both memorable and pleasing to the ear. Ultimately, the chorus brings the idea of the lyrics together, asking the subject of the song, Ayla, to empower the singer to be able to soar high and reach new heights.
Overall, "Ayla" is a song that speaks to the transcendent power of love and the way that it can allow us to grow and expand beyond our current limitations. It creates a feeling of warmth and comfort that builds as the song progresses, culminating in the powerful chorus that urges listeners to reach for the skies.

My father passed away last year. He showed me this song when I was 8 years old. The music is all I have left from him. I am crying hearing this song. Thank you so much.

It's insane but this track make me tear up every time. I'm 43 years old and it makes me wanna go back in time and relive all the wonderfull party's I attended, the wonderfull people I met and the wonderfull drugs I took. It's definitly one of my funeral tracks. The beauty of it all is when I let my 14 yaer old son listen to this track and see him enjoying this track as much as I do. Why does time passes by so fast.
Live life to the fullest beacause you only have one.
