1) Nena was a German Neue Deutsche Welle band formed in West Berlin in 1981. In 1983 and 1984, their German-language song "99 Luftballons" (and its English version, "99 Red Balloons") reached number one in the singles charts of countries around the world.
The band released four studio albums: Nena (1983), Fragezeichen (1984), Feuer und Flamme (1985) and Eisbrecher (1986). With two english language albums: 99 Luftballons (1984) and It's All In The Game (1985). The band disbanded in 1987 without ever officially announcing their end.
2) Nena is the stage name of German singer and actress Gabriele Susanne Kerner (born 24 March 1960 in Hagen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany). Nena was also the name of the band with whom she released the 1984 English recording of the eponymous band's most well-known song "99 Red Balloons" (orginally released in Germany in 1983 as "99 Luftballons")
Nena acquired her nickname, which means "baby girl" in Spanish, at the age of 3 during a vacation to Spain. Her first band was called The Stripes (1979). They had a very minor hit with the song "Ecstasy", but never managed to achieve broad success.
3) The band Nena was formed with Nena (singer), Rolf Brendel (drums), Carlo Karges (guitar), Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen (keyboard) and JĆ¼rgen Dehmel (bass) in Berlin in 1981. Their first hit single, "Nur getrƤumt" ("Only In Dreams"), came in 1982 after appearing on the German television program Musikladen.
The following year they released their self-titled first album, which contained the singles "99 Luftballons" and "Leuchtturm" ("Lighthouse"). "99 Luftballons" was a #1 hit in many countries (including the U.S.) and an English version of the song, "99 Red Balloons", was recorded, and retains some measure of cultural influence, being referred to in current music - the Guster track Amsterdam. The song also featured in an episode of Scrubs, Gilmore Girls the film, Grosse Point Blank, and most recently the movie Watchmen. Nena then released ? (Fragezeichen) in 1984, Feuer und Flamme ("Fire And Flame", means "to be all for it") in 1985, Eisbrecher ("Icebreaker") in 1986.
Nena started dating Swiss actor Benedict Freitag shortly after the breakup of the band in 1987, and together with him had a son, Christopher Daniel, who was born disabled due to medical mistakes made during the birth that caused Nena to go into cardiac arrest. He died at the age of 11 months. She later had twins with Freitag, Larissa-Maria and Sakias Manuel.
After splitting with Benedict Freitag, Nena began a relationship with drummer and music producer Philipp Palm of Stuttgart, with whom she has two children, Samuel Vincent and Simeon Joel. The couple and the four children live together in Hamburg.
Throughout the 1990's, Nena released solo albums, including some children's albums. In 1999, Nena voiced the character Lea in the animated film Tobias Totz und sein Lƶwe.
In 2002, Nena celebrated her 20th stage anniversary with the album "Nena feat. Nena," a CD of self-covers of old hits. This jubilee album meant an incredible comeback for Nena that has hardly ever been seen before in German music business. Nena's 2005 album "Willst du mit mir gehn" ("Do You Wanna Date Me?") quickly achieved platinum status as well. The first single from "Willst du mit mir gehn", "Liebe ist" ("Love Is"), shot to Number 1 in the German charts in early 2005.
9th October 2007 Nena released the album "Cover Me", an album composed entirely of cover songs with songs both in English and German.
In 2007, she co-founded the school "Neue Schule Hamburg".
4) Nena is also the artistic name of a young portuguese singer.
Musically influenced by names like John Mayer, Taylor Swift, Sara Bareilles, The Chicks (ex-Dixie Chicks) or Maro, Nena began developing and writing songs from a very young age, tending to write her first song when she was just 12 years old. After the composition process, on the guitar, where lyrics and music are usually born simultaneously, love is a recurring theme.
Although her professional training was in the area of āācommunication, her passion and devotion to music occupied a central place in her life and, since 2019, Nena has dedicated herself professionally to this area.
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Nena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out baby the saints are comin through
Because it's all over now, baby blue
The highway is for gamblers, you better use your sense
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky, too, is folding over you
Because it's all over now, baby blue
Leave your stepping stones behind, there's something that calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
The carpet, too, is falling over you
Because it's all over now, baby blue
The song 'It's All Over Now Baby Blue' by Nena is a cover of Bob Dylan's 1965 song. The song is a farewell song with various symbols and coded references, leading to different interpretations. The song starts with a call to leave and take what is essential, indicating a sense of urgency to leave before it is too late. The lyrics suggest that the addressee is leaving, but the singer is not. The line "Yonder stands your orphan with his gun" likely reflects the turmoil and violence of the mid-1960s. The saints in the lines "Look out baby the saints are comin through" might represent the civil rights movement activists, who considered themselves the "holy ones" in a struggle for justice.
The song's second verse invokes the idea of the highway as a place for gamblers and the need to use common sense to survive. The mention of the "empty-handed painter" and "crazy patterns" possibly refer to the avant-garde artists of the time, like Jackson Pollock. The line "The sky, too, is folding over you" could be a metaphor for the singer's sense of impending doom, while the carpet falling over them in the third verse is a metaphor for their world crashing down.
Finally, the song ends with the singer being called to leave the past behind and move on to something new. The dead will not follow, and the road beckons the singer. The mention of stepping stones suggests the last chance to move forward before it is too late. The line "Because it's all over now, baby blue" could potentially refer to the color of the deserted sky or a deep sense of sadness.
Line by Line Meaning
You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
It's time for you to go, take only what you think will be useful in the future
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Hold on to what you value most before it's too late
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
You'll face difficult challenges and will have to rely solely on yourself to overcome them
Crying like a fire in the sun
The pain and sorrow you face will be intense and overwhelming
Look out baby the saints are coming through
Be prepared for unexpected events and remain vigilant
Because it's all over now, baby blue
The past is behind you and it's time to move on
The highway is for gamblers, you better use your sense
Life is unpredictable, you must use your judgment wisely
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
Take what you've learned from life experiences and use them to make better decisions
The empty-handed painter from your streets
The people closest to you may not provide the help and support you need
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
Their actions may seem erratic and confusing to you
The sky, too, is folding over you
The weight of the world may feel heavy on your shoulders
Because it's all over now, baby blue
You must move on from the past and accept the changes happening in your life
Leave your stepping stones behind, there's something that calls for you
Leave your past behind and focus on what's waiting for you in the future
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
Don't dwell on the past, accept that it's gone and focus on the future
The carpet, too, is falling over you
The ground beneath you is shifting and you must adapt to the changes
Because it's all over now, baby blue
The past is gone, it's time to start a new chapter
