Konstantin has assembled his strongest pieces of three years of work on one album: here they shine with the melancholy and the gloom of those, who have gained peace and hope as they have left the eternal dance around a golden calf named progress: Take this hand now / there is no time to waste / the first gets the land / where we need to build our home / Quiet people build the hardest gold. .
The art of Konstantin concentrates in his ability to elude classification, to forge Get Well Soon anew with every single song. Glinting through are memories of sad ballads of Leonard Cohen; broken groans of Tom Waits; the laissez faire of the lost of Nick Cave, and the weightlessness of Thom Yorke.
On stage, Get Well Soon develops into an even more intensive experience: up to eight musicians are playing (guitar, bass, drums, piano, trumpets, banjo, violin..) and the intimacy of the album gains a terrific momentum.Those who come to a concert with heavy hearts and oppressed souls, go home with regained strength and confidence. It is as if another house has fallen onto the bad Witch of the East: Wake up, sleepy head! All your fear has left! Konstantin's music has seen a lot of life, his songs are young but wise - carried along by generations, to finally arrive in the eye of the storm: It's not a secret that I'm king without a land / I'm a captain without sea / So let me pretend / To find my home again. All we've got is ourselves - and one another. We're home. Get Well Soon
It's Love

But you know I'm not showing, I get to all
The usual growing pains, my first "I love you" made her cry
I still don't know if those were tears of joy
She said she'd keep these knickers
That blood's a souvenir of love
And that whirlwind summer, on and on
It's love, love
And I can't get rid of it
Chin up, proud daughter, now make daddy proud
Because the road we've paved then, I'm still on
It only leads away from the flowers and the dress
But it ends just where it started, a precious mess
It's love, love
And I can't make sense of it
You've got me climbing up the walls,
keep kicking me in the balls
You got me thinking I was funny,
keep feeding me blood and honey
It's love, love
It's love, love
And I won't get rid of it
But I cannot believe any more
Because I cannot unriddle it
And I cannot unmask it
So I can't shut up about it
Cause I cannot put my head around it
And I lose my very last hair over it
And I waste my very last breath on it
And I will shed my whole skin to find it
I'm a goddamn fool to rely on it
But I feed on it, no I can't let him feast on it
And I'd rather die than let you live without it
The first verse starts by describing a pleasant relationship with no troubles, where there is no distance, both partners are always together, and yet the singer is not able to express his feelings openly. He talks about a time where he said "I love you" to his partner and brought her to tears, not knowing if it was tears of joy or sadness. This could reflect the anxiety and uncertainty that comes with expressing love, especially when it involves vulnerability.
The second verse talks about a parent-child relationship, where the father wants his daughter to make him proud. The singer recognizes the path that he's on will lead him away from shallow things like flowers and dresses. Still, his journey ends in the same place it started, as a mess that he treasures. The song seems to explore the theme of love being messy but valuable, with the ending line of the second verse underscoring that theme.
The chorus repeats the phrase "It's love, love, and I can't get rid of it", with the singer expressing resignation in accepting love's messy nature. However, the lyrics also express frustration and confusion, with the singer comparing love to something that's kicking him in the balls and making him climb up walls. The phrase "feeding me blood and honey" could reflect the pleasure and pain that comes with love.
In the final verse, the singer professes that love is something that they cannot understand or make sense of, but they cannot get rid of it. The lyrics express desperation, as the singer states that they would rather die than let their partner live without love. Overall, the song seems to have a bittersweet undertone, with the singer expressing both the joys and struggles of love.

@JohnnyTaskForce
Udo mal wieder in einer absolut sympathischen Rolle ;) Großartig!
@thomasbrilke4937
Udo Kier beweist mal wieder, was fuer ein grossartiger Schauspieler er ist! Er wirkt einfach Furchteinfloessent! Super!!
@rabautios
Und wieder einmal zeigt Udo Kier sein kulinarisches Talent!
@kathrinbaka7338
Ich dachte zuerst, der arme, alte, einsame Mann und dann das.
Geniales Video, perfekte Bilder und großartige Musik <3
@Ironiechild
Ja, aber so kann man sich täuschen. Man sollte immer zweimal hinschauen. Ganz zu Anfang dachte ich, er hätte seine Frau verloren und kann damit nicht umgehen und würde sich später das Leben nehmen.
@KommissarBoelles
The weird thing about this video is that the twist was given away by the very fact that Udo Kier is playing the lead. From the beginning I was thinking: "Alright, something fucked up is going to happen."
@TheNefastor
My thought exactly ! What a legend.
@ImMrTwister
Put this song back on Spotify!!! Please...
@ghostexboi2380
Why is this not on Spotify... so good
@klichmichael1442
Was soll ich sagen? Großartiger Song und ein zynisches, bitterböses Video mit Udo Kier... Danke für die Mühe und Sorgfalt.
