In the nineties, Vienna became famous for its electronic music scene and Bernhard Fleischmann found its unique place in it. A laptop, sound loops, rhythm patterns. A gig at the legendary picknick@rhiz festival. Indulging melodies, but never sugary, surrounded by tricky rhythm structures. Songs, not just tracks, arranged on an impressing record – “pop loops for breakfast” found the love story between Bernhard Fleischmann and the young label Morr Music in autumn 1998. The “Sidonie EP” followed in 1999. Bernhard Fleischmann became a busy live artist, touring through Austria, Germany, Europe, the USA and nearly the rest of the world. The album “Choir of Empty Beds” was released on Fuzzy Box (2000). Besides, tracks for compilations on Morr Music (“Putting the Morr back into Morrissey“) and other labels – Christof Kurzmann’s Vienna based label Charizma, for instance. Bernhard Fleischmann’s “Nico”-7inch was the opener for the Morr Music-series “a number of small things” (2001).
Later came “Welcome Tourist” (autumn 2001) featuring Christof Kurzmann.
Together with Herbert Weixelbaum Bernhard Fleischmann formed Duo 505, delicate pulsing electronica. Their album “late” was released in autumn 2005 on Morr Music.
Together with Christof Kurzmann, Burkhard Stangl, Martin Siewert and Werner Dafeldecker – those who already have played one song together on “Welcome Tourist” – he founded The Year of, a country-esque chamber orchestra with slide guitars, clarinets, interferences, echo chambers. Songs in cinemascope, electro-acoustic experiences. Their debut “Slow Days” was released in spring 2006 also on Morr Music.
And there is „The Humbucking Coil“ Bernhard Fleischmann’s third solo record released in February 2006 – euphoric pop in slow motion, rustling rhythm patterns, songs that linger and indulge. Vibraphone, piano, electric guitars in a still electronic working process. Pop songs of course.
Bernhard Fleischmann is also the composer for different film scores: Bady Mincks “Am Anfang war der Blick“ (shown in Cannes 2003); Jörg Kalts “Crash Test Dummies” (shown at the berlinale 2005); and Marc Bauders and Dörte Frankes “Jeder schweigt von etwas anderem” (shown at the Berlinale 2006).

The Flow
B. Fleischmann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life is short 갈 길이 멀어
일단 내 기억에 쌓인 먼지부터 털어
멈춰있는 시간 다시 태엽을 감아
살아야 하는 이유를 낙서처럼 끄적여
언제부터였나 내가 망가지게 된 건
욕심에 눈이 멀고 시선에 목을 걸어
우울이란 놈이 나를 갉아먹게 했어 uh
우습게 본거지
맘만 앞선다고 될 일이 아니었으니
꼬여있는 정신
무얼 위해 그 많은 밤을 새워야 했는지
그 답을 찾기 전까지는 돌아갈 수 없지
Huh 특별할 것 없는 사람이었을 뿐
가면 속에 가려놨던 수만 가지 슬픔
이제는 도망치지 않고 마주해야 해
가짜 같은 내 껍질들 다 벗겨 내야 해
Flow away, away, away
Flow away, away, away
Flow away, away, away
Flow away, away, away
Yeah yeah ha
누구는 적 누구는 별 어차피 영원한 건
존재하지 않는데 자꾸만 선을 그어놓고
조금씩 쌓아 올린 벽 그 안에 나를 고립 시켜
머리에 병 마음엔 멍 억지로 음악에 몰입 시켜
전부 무의미한 발악질
청춘이었다고 넘겨짚기에는 잃은 게 너무 많아
우린 배울 필요 있어 진짜 중요한 게 뭔지
치열함 속 잊고 있던 여유 같은 거 말이야
다들 조심해야 해 악마가 손을 내밀 땐
인생이 담보라는 것을 인지해야 돼
그늘 속에 감정이 점점 잠식되기 전에
웃어야 할 땐 분명히 웃어놔야 해
Damn 내 지난날을 돌이켜보면
불완전해야만 완전해지는 그림 한 폭
전부 후회라고 부르기엔
영원했으면 하는 순간도 많았거든
That's why I'm moving on
Flow away, away, away
Flow away, away, away
Flow away, away, away
Flow away, away, away
아 아 매일을 부딪히고 투쟁
차라리 학교가 나았어
현실은 하루하루가 숙제
보이는 게 다가 아닌 세상
저마다 다른 각자 사연들의 깊이와 무게
내려놓은 만큼 가벼워진다는 걸
전부 엎지르고 나서야 깨달았어
다시 맞춰봐야지 어긋난 톱니바퀴들
저기 별이 된 이들에겐 축복이 닿기를
The lyrics of B. Fleischmann's song The Flow are touching on various themes related to the struggles one faces in life while still trying to find meaning and purpose. The song opens with acknowledging the shortness of life and urges the listener to start cleaning the dust accumulated in their memories, get back on their feet, and find reasons to keep pushing forward. The second verse reflects on the moments the writer felt like everything was falling apart because of their own greed and envy and how it led them to succumb to depression. The lyrics then shift to a more introspective and reflective tone in which the writer acknowledges the mistakes of the past and the need to move on from them. The chorus repeats the phrase "flow away" several times, representing the need to move on and let go of the negativity and the past.
The third verse is more philosophical, questioning the futility of the lines and boundaries we draw in life and how they can end up isolating us from the world. The lyrics then touch on the idea of using music as a form of escapism and indulging oneself in the illusion of something perfect. The fourth verse talks about the importance of learning in life and distinguishing between what is important and what is trivial. The last few lines urge the listener not to give up and keep pushing forward until they reach a point where they can see the beauty in the world.
Overall, The Flow by B. Fleischmann is a beautiful and introspective song that delves into the challenges of life, the importance of learning, the need to let go of the past, and the beauty of moving on.
Line by Line Meaning
Yeah, huh
Starting off with a sound of affirmation
Life is short 갈 길이 멀어
Life is short but the road is long
일단 내 기억에 쌓인 먼지부터 털어
Let's first clean off the dust that has accumulated on my memories
멈춰있는 시간 다시 태엽을 감아
Let's wrap up the stopped time again
살아야 하는 이유를 낙서처럼 끄적여
Draw out the reason for why we must live like scribbling graffiti
언제부터였나 내가 망가지게 된 건
Since when did I start to fall apart
욕심에 눈이 멀고 시선에 목을 걸어
Blinded by greed and obsessed with how others see me
열등감에 허덕이며 신기루 좇아간 뒤부터
Since I started struggling with inferiority and chasing illusions
우울이란 놈이 나를 갉아먹게 했어 uh
Depression ate me up
우습게 본거지
I saw it as a joke
맘만 앞선다고 될 일이 아니었으니
Just because I was ahead of the game doesn't mean things would work out
꼬여있는 정신
My twisted mind
무얼 위해 그 많은 밤을 새워야 했는지
What did I gain from staying up so many nights
그 답을 찾기 전까지는 돌아갈 수 없지
I can't go back until I find the answer
Huh 특별할 것 없는 사람이었을 뿐
Huh, I was just an ordinary person
가면 속에 가려놨던 수만 가지 슬픔
But I hid countless sadness behind my mask
이제는 도망치지 않고 마주해야 해
Now, I must face it without running away
가짜 같은 내 껍질들 다 벗겨 내야 해
I need to shed all of my fake shells
Flow away, away, away
Let it flow away
누구는 적 누구는 별 어차피 영원한 건
Some are friends, some are foes but nothing lasts forever
존재하지 않는데 자꾸만 선을 그어놓고
But we keep drawing lines that don't really exist
조금씩 쌓아 올린 벽 그 안에 나를 고립 시켜
We build a wall little by little, isolating ourselves within
머리에 병 마음엔 멍 억지로 음악에 몰입 시켜
We have a sick mind and numb heart, trying to immerse ourselves in music
전부 무의미한 발악질
It's all meaningless rebellion
청춘이었다고 넘겨짚기에는 잃은 게 너무 많아
I can't just pass it off as youthful indiscretion, I've lost too much
우린 배울 필요 있어 진짜 중요한 게 뭔지
We need to learn what's truly important
치열함 속 잊고 있던 여유 같은 거 말이야
It's like finding peace within the intensity
다들 조심해야 해 악마가 손을 내밀 땐
We all need to be careful when the devil extends his hand
인생이 담보라는 것을 인지해야 돼
We have to realize that life is collateral
그늘 속에 감정이 점점 잠식되기 전에
Before emotions are gradually eroded in the shadows
웃어야 할 땐 분명히 웃어놔야 해
When we should smile, we must definitely smile
Damn 내 지난날을 돌이켜보면
Damn, when I look back at my past
불완전해야만 완전해지는 그림 한 폭
It's like a picture that needs to be incomplete to become complete
전부 후회라고 부르기엔
It's not just all regret
영원했으면 하는 순간도 많았거든
There were moments I wished would last forever
That's why I'm moving on
That's why I'm moving on
아 아 매일을 부딪히고 투쟁
Ahh, every day is a struggle
차라리 학교가 나았어
I'd rather be in school
현실은 하루하루가 숙제
Reality is everyday homework
보이는 게 다가 아닌 세상
The world is not what it seems
저마다 다른 각자 사연들의 깊이와 무게
Everyone has their own depth and weight of their story
내려놓은 만큼 가벼워진다는 걸
But we become lighter as we let go
전부 엎지르고 나서야 깨달았어
I realized this only after I had destroyed everything
다시 맞춰봐야지 어긋난 톱니바퀴들
So, we need to readjust the gears that are off
저기 별이 된 이들에겐 축복이 닿기를
May blessings reach those who have become stars up there
Flow away, away, away
Let it flow away
Flow away, away, away
Let it flow away
Flow away, away, away
Let it flow away
Flow away, away, away
Let it flow away
Yeah yeah ha
Ending with a sound of affirmation
