The LP Lindenberg (also 1971, and sung in English, already with Steffi Stephan on bass) was likewise unsuccessful. In the following year, the fist LP in German was released: Daumen im Wind (produced by Lindenberg and Thomas Kukuck, who also produced the next five albums together), from which the single "Hoch im Norden" became a radio hit in northern Germany. The year 1973 brought a breakthrough with the album Andrea Doria and its catchy "Alles klar auf der Andrea Doria" and "Cello". Over 100,000 copies sold, and Lindenberg quickly received the largest record deal of any German-language musician up to that time. Lindenberg was earning a special place in the new German-language music of the 70s: Between internationally-oriented Krautrock and pop music, he found his niche. German-language rock had previously been confined to predominantly political message bands whose music was directed at a narrow audience.
Lindenbergs brash style, everyday subject matter ("Bei Onkel Pö…") and his feel for language were an unprecedented combination in German-language music. His pioneering work helped other artists such as Stefan Waggershausen and Marius Müller-Westernhagen get record deals of their own. In 1973 Lindenberg first went on tour with his Panikorchester (Panic Orchestra).
1976 was one of Udo Lindenberg's most productive years. Besides the LP Galaxo Gang he also published under the name Das Waldemar Wunderbar Syndicat I make you feel good, a first Best of Panik Udo and the first in a series of foreign-language publications No Panic, on which Lindenberg translated his songs to English. In the same year (and on another LP: Sister King Kong) with the song "Rock ’n’ Roll Arena in Jena", Lindenberg first mentioned a Panic Orchestra tour in the GDR. In 1976, Lindenberg discovered Ulla Meinecke and produced her first two albums. She was a guest artist and co-author of the 1977 LP Panische Nächte (Panic Nights) and the 1978 Dröhnland Symphonie. On Lindenbergs Rock Revue (1978) Lindenberg and Horst Königstein "Germanized" rock classics from Little Richard to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and went on a big tour. The Nr.-1-Hit "We Gotta Get out of This Place" was also published with German lyrics.
The subsequent Dröhnland-Symphonie-Tour was staged by Peter Zadek as a big multimedia stage show with a plethora of costumed extras. The result was Lindenbergs first live album Livehaftig. In 1979, Der Detektiv was the second Rock Revue, in which more international hits such as "Candle in the Wind" by Elton John, "Born to Be Wild" by Steppenwolf, "My Little Town" and "As Time Goes By" (from the film Casablanca) were "Germanized". Also 1997 was published "Belcanto - Udo Lindenberg & das Deutsche Filmorchester Babelsberg" which included hits like "Horizont", "Bis ans Ende der Welt" along with a song by Bertold Brecht and Udo's own interpretation of The Windmills of Your Mind - "Under the drunkard moon" ("Unterm Säufermond").
One of his most famous songs is Sonderzug nach Pankow (Special train service to Pankow), an adaptation of Chattanooga Choo Choo, released as a single on 2 February 1983. It originated from the refusal of eastern German authorities to allow Lindenberg a concert in the German Democratic Republic (GDR).
On June 3, 2011, Lindenberg performed at Kampnagel unplugged. The recording was later released as an album within the MTV unplugged series. Lindenberg was the 8th German artist in that series. The album became the second No.1 album for Lindenberg declared Platin status for 200,000 sold units after two weeks. The second single from the album "Cello" (feat. Clueso) went No.4 giving Lindenberg the highest chart position in German singles charts ever reached.
Lindenberg has worked collaboratively with various local and international recording artists (Eric Burdon, Helen Schneider, David Bowie, Tom Robinson, Keith Forsey, Gianna Nannini, and Nena) on a number of projects. He currently lives in Hamburg in the Hotel Atlantic (for several years now). His somewhat hoarse voice is the result of too much liquor and cigarettes. In 1989, he survived a heart attack. In 2010, he designed two stamps, themed on his songs "Andrea Doria" and "Sonderzug nach Pankow", for the Deutsche Post.
Hinterm Horizont geht's weiter
Udo Lindenberg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Die Hüte tief I'm Gesicht
Alle straßen endlos
Barrikaden gab's für uns doch nicht.
Do und ich
Das war einfach unschlagbar
Ein Paar wie Blitz und Donner
Und immer nur auf brennend heißer Spur.
Das war doch klar
Haben die Wolken nicht gesehen am Horizont
Bis es dunkel war
Und dann war's passiert
Hab es nicht kapiert
Ging alles viel zu schnell
Doch zwei wie wir
Die dürfen sich nie verlier'n!
Hinterm Horizont geht's weiter
Ein neuer Tag
Hinterm Horizont immer weiter
Zusammen sind wir stark!
Das mit uns ging so tief rein
Das kann nie zu Ende sein
Sowas Großes geht nicht einfach so vorbei!
Do und ich
Das war einfach unschlagbar
Ein Paar wie Blitz und Donner
Zwei wie wir
Die können sich nie verlier'n.
Hinterm Horizont geht's weiter
Ein neuer Tag
Hinterm Horizont immer weiter
Zusammen sind wir stark!
Das mit uns ging so tief rein
Das kann nie zu Ende sein
Denn zwei wie wir
Die können sich nie verlier'n.
Hinterm Horizont geht's weiter!
The lyrics of "Hinterm Horizont geht's weiter" by Udo Lindenberg tell a story of two detectives who embark on a journey together, forming an unbreakable bond. They navigate through endless streets and overcome obstacles together with ease, always on the trail of their goal. The two friends seem invincible and nothing can stand in their way. However, as darkness falls, they fail to notice the clouds on the horizon, and before they know it, they are separated. The singer, one of the detectives, can't believe how quickly it happened and struggles to understand what went wrong. The message of the song is about the strength of friendship and how it can overcome any obstacle, even separation.
The chorus "Hinterm Horizont geht's weiter" translates to "It continues beyond the horizon," representing the idea of hope and new beginnings. The lyrics convey a sense of optimism, despite the separation of the friends, and highlight the importance of holding onto positive memories, as the bond that was formed will never be broken.
Overall, the song presents a universal theme that resonates with listeners, as it reminds us of the importance of cherishing friendships and holding onto hope during difficult times.

Wir war'n zwei Detektive
We were like two detectives
Die Hüte tief I'm Gesicht
With our hats pulled down over our faces
Alle straßen endlos
All the streets seemed endless
Barrikaden gab's für uns doch nicht.
But there were no barricades that could stop us
Do und ich
Do and I
Das war einfach unschlagbar
We were unbeatable together
Ein Paar wie Blitz und Donner
A pair like lightning and thunder
Und immer nur auf brennend heißer Spur.
And always on a hot trail
Wir war'n so richtig Freunde für die Ewigkeit
We were truly friends for eternity
Das war doch klar
That much was clear
Haben die Wolken nicht gesehen am Horizont
We didn't see the clouds on the horizon
Bis es dunkel war
Until it got dark
Und dann war's passiert
And then it happened
Hab es nicht kapiert
I didn't understand it
Ging alles viel zu schnell
Everything happened too fast
Doch zwei wie wir
But people like us
Die dürfen sich nie verlier'n!
Can never lose each other!
Hinterm Horizont geht's weiter
Beyond the horizon lies the future
Ein neuer Tag
A new day
Hinterm Horizont immer weiter
Always moving beyond the horizon
Zusammen sind wir stark!
Together we are strong!
Das mit uns ging so tief rein
What we had went really deep
Das kann nie zu Ende sein
It can never be over
Sowas Großes geht nicht einfach so vorbei!
Something so great can't just end like that!
Zwei wie wir
People like us
Die können sich nie verlier'n.
Can never lose each other
Hinterm Horizont geht's weiter!
Beyond the horizon lies the future!

Mein Mann ist vor 6 Wochen verstorben. Und zu Beginn der Trauerfeier haben wir es auch gespielt. Wir hatten 9 Tage vor seinem Tod unsere Goldene Hochzeit. Da fliessen die Tränen von ganz allein. Zum Abschluss folgte noch "Der Weg" von Grönemeyer. Immer wenn ich traurig bin, weil ich ihn so vermisse, höre ich die Lieder.
@merrytahraoui
Viel Kraft liebe Ursula in dieser schweren Zeit, das wünsche ich dir von Herzen 🙏🌺
@ronandavid
Ganz viel Kraft - Musik hilft, auch wenn der Gegangene tagtäglich und immerzu fehlt! Ich verlor im letzten Jahr meine Mom und ich vermisse sie tagtäglich mehr!
@michaelk.9951
Mein Beileid- bei meinen Eltern war es ähnlich. Goldene Hochzeit und nachmittags ins KH. Zu Hause wurde er nicht mehr viel gesehen. Leider.
Blickt nach vorne und 50 Jahre gibt’s heute leider kaum…
