1) Wind was a West Coast '60s inspired German psych rock band. Their first album "Seasons" (1971) is considered to be a little classic in the early days of progressive rock. It features complex epic songs within heavy rock, psych-spaced out proportions. "Morning" (1973) is a catchy collection of almost conventional heavy rocking songs. Without gaining the commercial success, the band split in 1973. The drummer Lucky Schmidt will pursue his career with the band Aera.
2) Wind was started in 1985 by the composer Hanne Haller. The other members of the band at that time were Alexander "Ala" Heiler, Christine von Kutschenbach, Rainer Höglmeier, Willie Jakob, Sami Kalifa and Petra Scheeser.
The group has participated in the Eurovision Song Contest for Germany three times. The first time was shortly after the formation of the band, in Eurovision 1985. With the song Für alle they finished second, just behind the winning duo Bobbysocks from Norway. In 1987 Wind returned to the contest, performing Lass die Sonne in dein Herz in Brussels, Belgium. Once again they achieved a second place, this time behind Johnny Logan who represented Ireland. Lass die Sonne in dein Herz has since become the band's trademark tune, including welcoming visitors to their official website. Wind entered Eurovision for a third time in 1992 in Malmö, Sweden, with the song Träume sind für alle da. This time they were not as successful, finishing 16th of 23 participants. According to John Kennedy O'Connor in his book The Eurovision Song Contest: The Official History, Wind are the only act to ever finish second in the contest on two occasions.
3) Wind was a pagan black metal band from Poland formed in 1993 by vocalist/guitarist Lord Darkstorm of the black metal band Darkstorm and drummer Lord Wintersky. They released two demo/rehearsals and a promo tape before disbanding. Material from their second rehearsal, "Night My Queen" was rereleased with Darkstorm's "The Black Stone" in 2008.
4) Wind was a dark ambient project from Finland, formed in 1998 by Mikko Virkki aka Wircki (also in Hin Onde). His style, described as surrealistic neoclassical music with sinister synths and haunting atmosphere, has been compared to that of Devil Doll. Wind changed name to Varjosielu in 2000.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ein Sturm kommt auf
Und es wird Nacht
Wo willst du hin
So ganz allein
Treibst du davon
Wenn es dich
Nach unten zieht
Jetzt stehst du da an der Laterne
Mit Tränen im Gesicht
Das Tageslicht fällt auf die Seite
Der Herbstwind fegt die Straße leer
Jetzt stehst du da an der Laterne
Hast Tränen im Gesicht
Das Abendlicht verjagt die Schatten
Die Zeit steht still und es wird Herbst
Komm in mein Boot
Die Sehnsucht wird
Der Steuermann
Komm in mein Boot
Der beste Seemann
War doch ich
Jetzt stehst du da an der Laterne
Hast Tränen im Gesicht
Das Feuer nimmst du von der Kerze
Die Zeit steht still und es wird Herbst
Sie sprachen nur von deiner Mutter
So gnadenlos ist nur die Nacht
Am Ende bleib ich doch alleine
Die Zeit steht still
Und mir ist kalt
The song "Seemann Deine Heimat ist das Meer" by Wind tells the story of a person who is lost and alone, drifting away on stormy seas. The song describes the storm closing in, and the singer calling out to the person to come aboard their boat for safety. The lyrics capture the fear and vulnerability of being alone at sea, with no one to hold onto when the waves come crashing down. The chorus "Komm in mein Boot" (Come into my boat) is repeated throughout the song, calling out to the lost person once again.
The second verse describes the person standing alone under a streetlamp, with tears in their eyes. They turn to the light of the flame and try to push away the shadows of their thoughts. The lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and desperation as the person struggles to find direction and meaning in life. The final verse touches on the pointlessness of living when there is no one left to care for or comfort us.
In summary, "Seemann Deine Heimat ist das Meer" is a hauntingly beautiful song about finding solace and companionship in the midst of a stormy life journey. The lyrics are poignant and emotive, stirring up deep feelings of isolation, loneliness, and fear while also offering a glimmer of hope for better times to come.
