Ansgar: "Vargo stands for many things that mean a lot to me. essentially, my aim is to create an atmosphere of comfort and wellbeing for the listener, an invitation to chill, to unwind, to let go completely. Somehow I seem to be able to achieve a certain profoundness, as many people tell me. That may be because with each song I seriously try to actually reach the listener, to 'open' him up. it is important to me to touch people with what I do, emotionally and, at best, in their minds."
In an interview, we once put it this way:"while listening to our music, we want people to relax, to find to themselves some more. The best thing we can imagine to achieve is to touch their hearts and give them a warm feeling of home, peace and security. We believe that inner peace and serenity in every individual are essential requirements for peace in the world."
The very first Vargo title is called 'Electric Diver' and was released on the compilation"global psychedelic chillout' on spirit zone. it's an instrumental track, still without Stephanie and pretty 'electro-psychedelic'.
In 2001 I traveled to Ibiza for the first time. I had heard quite a lot about the Cafe del Mar, and so naturally I went to San Antonio bay right away to listen to Bruno's legendary sunset-spectacle. I found a tiny, admittedly beautifully decorated cafe within this big ugly block. the thing that matters is in front of the building: the beach with its Western view to the sea - towards the sunset. In the peak season, every day starting at about seven, hundreds of people trail off to the beach to experience Bruno's soundtrack to the setting sun. Some say it's all become very commercial, and that at Jose Padillas' time - who is well known as the creator of the Cafe del Mar compilations and Bruno's predecessor - everything was more authentic, but I was deeply moved by the atmosphere, the music, the people, the ocean, the sunset. Right afterwards, I drove back to the hotel, sat down at the laptop and wrote 'get back to serenity'.
Later, back in Hamburg, I finished the title, and that's when Stephanie joined me. Her incomparable silky, warm voice characterizes the Vargo sound. I sent the completed track to Bruno to Ibiza. He liked it so much, he wanted it for the Cafe del Mar vol.8 CD I could hardly believe my luck! What he put together as volume 8 was, for label policy reasons, later released as Cafe del Mar - dreams 2. Unfortunately it was kind of drowned out in the Cafe del Mar series - but many fans believe it it to be the best. with all due modesty I agree with that opinion.
'get back to serenity' has become a Cafe del Mar classic and has been released on innumerable chill and lounge compilations worldwide.
Due to the success of 'get back to serenity' I have been able to produce a Vargo album. Guest musicians from Spain, Jamaica and India provide a great variety in sound. Production time extended from what was originally supposed to be 4 months to more than a year. I had underestimated that alone (as composer, musician, sound engineer and producer) with a production as complex as that I was unable to maintain the most important feature, the songs' intensity, so I had to go about it a little more laid back, but I believe I pretty much succeeded.
'The Moment', a track with a wonderful flamenco guitar, soulfully played by Roland Cabezas is on Cafe del Mar vol.10, together with the lovers lane track "Face of Beauty"."
Get Back To Serenity
Vargo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The wind is whispering secret things
Feel the silence deep inside
Imagine a sunset embracing the night
Diving deep into your mind, you can let your soul unwind
There's no fear to keep you down
Trust yourself with your own sound
Come one strong, set your spirit free
Get back to serenity
Tune yourself in to a true reality
Where do you come from, where do you go
Is there a reason that keeps you in flow
Walking on water lighter than air into the ocean now you are there
Peace of mind is all around
Rising up when the sun goes down
Into the ocean of your bliss
Into the light where your home is
The lyrics of Vargo's "Get Back To Serenity" describe a state of peace and calmness that can be achieved by connecting with oneself and nature. The warm air and wind are tactile sensations that can create a sensory experience of being enveloped by nature. The lyrics also suggest that there are secrets to be learned from nature, and that by being in tune with oneself, one can unlock these secrets. The silence that is mentioned is not a negative absence of sound, but rather a deep internal stillness that one can achieve through inner reflection and focus.
The second stanza of the song delves deeper into the concept of finding one's purpose and place in the world. The lyrics pose a rhetorical question - "where do you come from, where do you go?" - that speaks to the human desire for understanding our place in the universe. The imagery of walking on water and being lighter than air represents a sense of weightlessness and freedom. The final lines suggest that one can find peace of mind by immersing themselves in their own version of bliss.
Overall, "Get Back To Serenity" is a song that encourages listeners to find their own personal serenity through introspection and connection with nature.

This song always reminds me of being in the Caribbean and sitting in my lounge chair on the balcony, smoking a cigar, and having a rum and coke while looking out into the Caribbean sea and seeing the moonlight reflect off the water! Feeling the light warm breeze blow up the housing complex built on a high hill! Absolutely amazing and relaxing beyond belief!

Hahaha to me it is a winter song only. When it is snowy and very cold.

Reminds me of falling asleep in the early evening sitting on my veranda in Rio de Janeiro looking over the ocean with the warm breeze and enveloping my being. One of the most beautiful songs in existence.
