Konstantin has assembled his strongest pieces of three years of work on one album: here they shine with the melancholy and the gloom of those, who have gained peace and hope as they have left the eternal dance around a golden calf named progress: Take this hand now / there is no time to waste / the first gets the land / where we need to build our home / Quiet people build the hardest gold. .
The art of Konstantin concentrates in his ability to elude classification, to forge Get Well Soon anew with every single song. Glinting through are memories of sad ballads of Leonard Cohen; broken groans of Tom Waits; the laissez faire of the lost of Nick Cave, and the weightlessness of Thom Yorke.
On stage, Get Well Soon develops into an even more intensive experience: up to eight musicians are playing (guitar, bass, drums, piano, trumpets, banjo, violin..) and the intimacy of the album gains a terrific momentum.Those who come to a concert with heavy hearts and oppressed souls, go home with regained strength and confidence. It is as if another house has fallen onto the bad Witch of the East: Wake up, sleepy head! All your fear has left! Konstantin's music has seen a lot of life, his songs are young but wise - carried along by generations, to finally arrive in the eye of the storm: It's not a secret that I'm king without a land / I'm a captain without sea / So let me pretend / To find my home again. All we've got is ourselves - and one another. We're home. Get Well Soon
It's A Catalogue
Get Well Soon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A spade and knives, Costa del Sol
That French, just not flour,
Our senses back
They are quite important
Ah-Ah-Ah Bye
Tickets some years for Annie Hall
A toothbrush and combs
Seem worst to keep
But all so precious
Ah-Ah-Ah Bye
Where do we miss of our glory?
Why do we miss of our world?
Where do we miss of the story?
We secretly wish to be doomed
Tears of an angel's are tiny bells
Technical shoes from Razor to toaster
Postcards from tours
Their own one's fade
It's from Bologna
Ah-Ah-Ah Bye
Where do we miss of our glory?
Why do we miss of the world?
Where do we miss of the story?
We secretly wish to be doomed
We'll on last leave, our love
It's a specious leave, our love
And be ugly, our love
Sincerely yours, my love
My love
The first lines of the song "Towels and trunks, a parasol, A spade and knives, Costa del Sol, That French, just not flour" describe a collection of items that are typically associated with a sunny vacation or beach trip, with the mention of Costa del Sol hinting at the location. The following lines "Our senses back, They are quite important, Ah-Ah-Ah Bye" suggest that being in this environment has revived the singer's senses or made them appreciate the importance of certain things.
The second verse mentions a ticket to see the movie Annie Hall, which can be interpreted as a nostalgic reference to a past love or experience. The singer then lists a toothbrush and combs as items that may seem insignificant but are actually important to them. The chorus repeats the questions "Where do we miss of our glory? Why do we miss of our world? Where do we miss of the story?" which could imply a sense of loss, longing or nostalgia.
The third verse mentions "Tears of an angel's are tiny bells", which is a metaphorical reference to something fragile or precious. The following lines list "Technical shoes from Razor to toaster, Postcards from tours", suggesting either an appreciation for mechanical or technological items, or a love for travel and collecting mementos. The line "It's from Bologna" seems to refer to a specific postcard or souvenir, and the chorus repeats once again.
Overall, the lyrics of "It's a Catalogue" suggest a bittersweet nostalgia or longing for past experiences, possessions or relationships, and the items mentioned create a vivid image of a specific type of vacation, love story or collection of memorabilia. The repetitiveness of the questions in the chorus and the use of metaphors and specific details create a dream-like or abstract quality to the lyrics.

Dieses Musicvideo ist 1000x besser als jede Tatort Folge
@jaimegarcia6235
The baseline to this tune is superb.
@Barnabasksjs
Ich höre mir das Lied steit seiner Erscheinung immer mal wieder an und es wird nie schlecht.
Es hat einen tragenden Grundbeat aber zieht in den richtigen Momenten das Tempo an. Die Bridge gefällt mir am besten, da sie dem Lied noch eine melodische Melancholie verpasst.
Die Kopfstimme des Sängers find ich fast noch besser als die "Normale".
Geiles Lied 10/10
@pitoutopit
What an extraordinary song. Rediscovered it tonight after a few years of oblivion. The emotion is still there.
