Month by month Fritz spent all of his little pocket money on spray cans and dusty old hiphop vinyls, eg. Eric B. & Rakim, KRS-ONE and Wu-Tang Clan. And for having a soft spot for those old hiphop artists, his brother Paul and buddy Sascha Funke kept making fun of him… over and over again. Because Paul and Sascha were already infected by the techno virus, Fritz – the late bloomer in the crew – shall follow the lead some day.
From his brother Paul and Sascha’s point of view, ’97 was the time when they’ve decided to smuggle Fritz into the legendary Berlin club Suicide Circus. The result was that Fritz couldn’t let go from the tech house music, not that he wanted to anyway. The time has come for Fritz to party it up in clubs like WMF, Discount, Tresor and Matrix. He’s having a good time while sucking in all of the new impressions. It wasn’t too long after that when Fritz started his own productions with leftover equipment from his brother Paul. But every lifestyle and action has its price, and Fritz’s was failing his high school diploma and dropping out.
Having to choose at that point what his future in music might be, he decides to turn his second passion into a profession. As a cultural and music journalist, he worked since 2002 for various TV stations such as ARD, MTV and the Deutsche Welle. But the artist life kept haunting him and one year later he teamed up with Sascha Funke to perform a track as a vocalist on Sascha’s debut album "Bravo". The first single from Sascha’s abum is the result and "Forms and Shapes" becomes one of the essential tracks that summer.
Fritz keeps building his reputation as a singer by collaborating with Zky, Alexander Kowalski and Monika Kruse. Besides that he was working on his own production skills, always looking for his very own sound. Then, in autumn 2008, "Sky and Sand" is released, a musical family reunion with his brother Paul, which raised the feeling from the first day on that this could be a big one. And it was. "Sky and Sand" didn't just become an underground anthem, but also reached peak in many European chart positions.
It's 2009 and the next chapter is ready to start. While Fritz is touring the clubs with his intense live act, Chopstick & Johnjon could convince him (it's still unknown how they did it…) to sign on to their label SUOL, where he has released two EPs and numerous collaborations so far. His full length album "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow“ was released on SUOL in October 2010.
Right in the Dark
Fritz Kalkbrenner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hard to believe that this is real
I dance and sing instead of walk and talk
Knowing that the time will heal
And I changed my view from all angles
Ain't afraid of no one's eyes
Maybe we should, maybe we don't
Maybe we're giving this a try
Won't you come with me, right in the dark
Won't you come with me, right to the start
Won't you come with me, right in the night
Won't you come with me, and shine a light
Can't tell how we came so far
Or where we went wrong
I'm searching for your sight
But your eyes won't hold me on
And you're trying to tell
What I can't understand
We kept on walking I unlearned to talking
And finally face the end
Won't you come with me, right in the dark
Won't you come with me, right to the start
Won't you come with me, right in the night
Won't you come with me, and shine a light
It's been a couple seasons since we've seen each other
Maybe less, maybe more
It's been a long time hitting the long road
Where it rains and where it pours
Back in the spot that we used to be
Laughing sinners all around
Look at me, give me your hand
And burn that city to the ground
Won't you come with me, right in the dark
Won't you come with me, right to the start
Won't you come with me, right in the night
Won't you come with me, and shine a light
In Fritz Kalkbrenner's song "Right in the Dark," he sings about being in a different world that is difficult to believe is real. The lyrics suggest that he is living in and experiencing a different reality that is beyond his control. He is dancing and singing instead of walking and talking, indicating he is consumed by his surroundings, and he is leaving the outside world behind. Despite all this, he understands that time would eventually make things better. He says he changed his view from all angles and is no longer afraid of judgment. The lyrics “Maybe we should, maybe we don't, maybe we're giving this a try" convey uncertainty about whether things will work out, but he is willing to give it a chance.
The chorus of the song appears to be a call to someone who is hesitant to come with him. He wants this person to join him in his journey, saying "Won't you come with me, right in the dark, Won't you come with me, right to the start, Won't you come with me, right in the night, Won't you come with me, and shine a light." It seems like he needs someone to accompany him on this journey as he navigates through this unusual world he has found himself in.
Towards the end, the lyrics indicate that Kalkbrenner hasn't seen this person in a while, but they are reuniting. They are back in the same place where they used to be, surrounded by familiar faces. The lyric "And burn that city to the ground" could be interpreted as a metaphor that they are together again, and there's nothing that can break the bond they share.
Overall, "Right in the Dark" is a song that talks about uncertainty and finding comfort in companionship in difficult times, accompanied by an upbeat and catchy melody that reflects the lyrics' themes.
