G.G. Anderson looms large among the most successful German pop composers of the rock era, authoring an enormous catalog of hits for acts including Axel Becker, Mireille Mathieu, and Rex Gildo in addition to mounting his own career as a singer. Born Gerd Günther Grabowski in Eschwege on December 4, 1949, he first pursued a career as an electrician, but in the late '60s singed on as the singer with the group the Blue Moons, which issued a series of Beatles-inspired singles before splitting. After a stint fronting Love and Tears, in 1973 he mounted a solo career under the alias Alexander Marco, but while his debut single, "Kleines Lied vom Sonnenschein," failed to generate much notice, his songwriting acumen immediately earned attention and he spent the next several years as a sought-after writer and producer, helming a string of hits including Roland Kaiser's "Lieb Mich Ein Letztes Mal," Engelbert's "The Spanish Night Is Over," and Audrey Landers' "Manuel Goodbye." In 1977 Grabowski relaunched his solo career under the alias Tony Bell, but again singles like "Mary Elaine" fared poorly and only after adopting the name G.G. Anderson did he finally hit paydirt via 1984's "Am Weißen Strand von San Angelo." The following year's "Sommernacht in Rom" proved his previous success was no fluke, and in the decade to follow Anderson was a fixture of the German charts, scoring a sequence of solo hits including "Mädchen, Mädchen," "Rosalie," and "Ich Lieb' Dich Jeden Tag ein Bißchen Mehr." With "Hättest Du Heut Zeit für Mich?" Anderson earned fourth-place honors in the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest; in 1991, he claimed the prestigious Goldene Stimmgabel award. As of this writing, Anderson boasts close to three dozen German Top 40 hits as a composer, with combined record sales in excess of 30 million. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

G.G. Anderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ging ich durch das Glück an deiner Hand.
Der Himmel
Die Wolken und das Meer
Wie ein Traum in uns
Der ewig wiederkehrt.
Sonnenuntergang
Wir beide fühlen der Abschied naht
Schon morgen bist do nicht mehr da.
Memories of Love
Souvenirs der Liebe
Sind in meinem Herzen
Wenn do von mir gehst.
Memories of Love
Souvenirs für immer
Bleiben mir
Bis wir uns wiedersehn.
Memories of Love
Souvenirs der Liebe
Sind in meinem Herzen
Wenn do von mir gehst.
Memories of Love
Souvenirs für immer
Bleiben mir
Bis wir uns wiedersehn
Bleiben mir
Bis wir uns wiedersehn.
The lyrics to G.G. Anderson's "Memories of Love" describe a summertime romance that brings joy and happiness to the singer. The singer walks through life hand in hand with his lover, taking in the beautiful sights of nature such as the sky, clouds, and the sea. It all feels like a dream that keeps repeating itself. However, they both realize that their summer love must come to an end, as the singer's lover will leave soon. The song expresses the sadness of separation and the longing to hold on to the memories of the love that was shared.
The chorus of "Memories of Love" emphasizes the significance of the memories that the singer holds in his heart. He sings about the "souvenirs of love" that will stay with him even after his lover is gone. The memories are described as being forever, and the only things left between them until they meet again.
