Kraftwerk - Hall of Mirrors
October 4th 2006 05:45
The young man stepped into the hall of mirrors
Where he discovered a reflection of himself
Even the greatest stars discover themselves in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars discover themselves in the looking glass
Sometimes he saw his real face
And sometimes a stranger at his place
Even the greatest stars find their face in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars find their face in the looking glass
He fell in love with the image of himself
and suddenly the picture was distorted
Even the greatest stars dislike themselves in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars dislike themselves in the looking glass
He made up the person he wanted to be
And changed into a new personality
Even the greatest stars change themselves in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars change themselves in the looking glass
The artist is living in the mirror
With the echoes of himself
Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars fix their face in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars fix their face in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass
Even the greatest stars live their lives in the looking glass
Hall of Mirrors - Kraftwerk
Now, I know absolutely nothing about Kraftwerk, although I can guess that they're German. Anyhoo, I had a look at their website, had a listen to some of their music. It's pretty good if you're into electronic dance music. So yeah, if that describes you, check them out.
The version of Hall of Mirrors that I have heard is by Siouxsie and the Banshees, a much more Punk sounding band, though still with electronica roots. Great song, at once both highly descriptive, accurate and all that and a tad sureal.
I love the lines
"He made up the person he wanted to be
And changed into a new personality"
Kraftwerk (German for Power station) have been around since the 70's, and, like many of the Krautrock bands which preceded them, their music is desined to be enjoyed live, where they often do improvisations, which sure puts our current electronica in its place.
Anyhoo, before I start to ramble
Peace
