When singer Bettina Mischke and keyboard player Roland Grosch decided to found Jazzamor in 2001 they perhaps did not imagine that their minimalistic lounge arrangements would take off so quickly. Two albums in three years have highlighted their productivity as they firm out their smoothe 60s jazzy sounds in Europe's main languages. The albums' commercial success have decided the pair on plunging into the live circuit with the same passion they brought to their recordings.
In 2006 they released their third studio album "Travel... (In Order Not To Arrive)". A trip around the world in music. Each song is placed at a special setting in the world. Sometimes it's the language, other times it's an instrument, a rhythm or a story that brings us on a journey to a distant country or a city. Sometimes it's just a wishful dream, other times tales of being there.

Jazzamor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And brown
On I'm here again
With a sunshine smile upon my face
My friends
Are close at hand
And all my inhibitions
Have disappeared without a trace
I found
Somebody who I can rely on.
This is the return
Of the space cowboy
Inter-planetary
Good vibe zone
At the speed of Cheeba
We'll go deeper
Maybe I'll have to get high
Just to get by.
Everything is good
And green
Oh, I'm red again
And I don't suppose I'm coming down
I can see clearly now,
High in the sky
A man with psychedelic picture frames
Of happiness to shade
His eyes
He's glad
That the found
Somebody who
He can rely on.
The lyrics of Jazzamor's song Space Cowboy describe a feeling of pure bliss and contentment with life. The singer is surrounded by friends and all of their worries and fears have disappeared "without a trace". They have found someone to rely on and are living in a "good vibe zone". The reference to being "red again" and "high in the sky" suggests the use of drugs to enhance this positive feeling.
The chorus reveals the title of the song, "This is the return of the space cowboy". The use of space-related vocabulary such as "inter-planetary" and "at the speed of Cheeba" (a reference to marijuana) adds to the dream-like, otherworldly feel of the song. The man with psychedelic picture frames is also a nod to the hippie counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s, which was closely associated with drug use and a rejection of mainstream values.

Es difícil imaginar una versión de esta canción mejor que la original. Aún así no está mal. En cualquier caso el mejor referente actual es Space Cowboy de Eve St. Jones en Jazz and 90's.
