They rehearsed two days to work out a repertoire of rainbirds-songs, instrumentals by ulrike and a couple of pieces written exclusively for theatre plays and the group stein. then they appeared under the motto "two faces in a different light" on september 2nd 1993.
it is this performance that katharina likes to remember as her favorite, and it was after this one, that tim, ulrike and katharina decided to move on as the new rainbirds trio.
they kept performing and touring under the pseudonym "three birds of a feather" while they were working out a new band sound, considering their special line-up: keyboards, vocals/ guitar and drums.
they were without a deal then, but rough trade records came to see them play live a couple of times, and while the band proceeded to tour under their original name in 1995, the contract came to be.
they entered the puk-studio in denmark in oktober 1995 and the self-produced "making memory" was released in march 1996. apart from some bewilderment as to what rainbirds would look and sound like now after one more metamorphosis, the reception was warm. more touring and festival playing, and back in the studio in april 1997. this time co-producer jon caffery recorded and mixed the album "rainbirdsforever" in his own la chapelle-studio in belgium. this album was released in october and was greatly appreciated in the media, and the tour in jan/feb 1998 rewarded the trio with sold out clubs and exceptionally good reviews.
they decided to tour once more in may to record two shows on 24 track analog and will release rainbirds3000.live in january 1999.
check their tourdates, keep in touch, be informed about all the many new things that are about to happen with rainbirds in the future. and the future is now.

Rainbirds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is a woman who prays
She is finished with the image
She has changed her face
Bows her head down to the ground
She is waiting, weary
bows her head down to the ground
And then she disappears
This is not about the word
There are many words
This is just about- real
When there are many things to one
I don't think I've ever learned this
Nobody ever taught me- real
When there is nothing but: now
In the desert, in a distance,
Is a man who prays
He is finished with the image
He has changed his face
Bows his head down to the ground
He is waiting unconcerned
Lifts his head up to the sky
And so he will remain
This is not about men
There are many men
This is just about- real
When there are many things to one
I don't think I've ever learned this
Nobody ever taught me- real
When there is nothing but: now
This is not about the word
There are many words
This is just about- real
When there are many things to one
I don't think I've ever learned this
Nobody ever taught me- real
When there is nothing but: now (the future is now)
When there is nothing but: now (the future is now)
When there is nothing but: now.
The lyrics of Rainbirds’s song “Real” explore the concept of authenticity and being true to oneself in a world full of illusions and superficiality. The song talks about two people praying in the desert, a woman and a man, both of whom have reached a state of disillusionment with the images they have created for themselves. The woman bows her head down to the ground, weary and waiting for something real to happen, while the man remains unconcerned, looking up to the sky, and accepting the reality of the present moment.
The song implies that it is not about the words we use or the images we create, but about the realness of our being. It’s about finding meaning in the present moment, accepting ourselves for who we are, and living in the present fully, without being haunted by the past or fearful of the future. The lyrics suggest that being true to oneself is not an easy task, but it is essential for our growth and happiness. The song invites the listener to embrace the concept of “real” and to live in the present moment.

In the desert, in a distance
Someone is far away in the desert
Is a woman who prays
The person in the distance is a woman who is praying
She is finished with the image
She is done pretending to be someone she's not
She has changed her face
She has transformed herself
Bows her head down to the ground
She lowers her head in humility
She is waiting, weary
She is tired and waiting
And then she disappears
She disappears from sight
This is not about the word
This is not about semantics
There are many words
There are many ways to describe something
This is just about- real
This is just about authenticity
When there are many things to one
When there are many aspects to a situation
I don't think I've ever learned this
I don't think I've ever been taught this
Nobody ever taught me- real
No one ever taught me to be authentic
When there is nothing but: now
When all you have is the present moment
Is a man who prays
The person in the distance is a man who is praying
He is waiting unconcerned
He is waiting without worry
Lifts his head up to the sky
He looks up at the sky
And so he will remain
He will continue to be himself
This is not about men
This is not about gender
There are many men
There are many people of the male gender
When there is nothing but: now (the future is now)
The future is happening in the present moment
When there is nothing but: now.
When all you have is the present moment
