wenn Marc Cohen unser Sohn wäre

[McLane]

mal vorab gefragt:

wer kennt Marc Cohen
und dessen song Silver Thunderbird

hier der text

"Watched it coming up Winslow
Down South Park Boulevard
Yeah it was looking good from tail to hood
Great big fins and painted steel
Man it looked just like the Batmobile
With my old man behind the wheel

Well you could hardly even see him
In all of that chrome
The man with the plan and the pocket comb
But every night it carried him home
And I could hear him sayin'...

Don't gimme no Buick
Son you must take my word
If there's a God in heaven
He's got a Silver Thunderbird

You can keep your Eldorados
And the foreign car's absurd
Me I want to go down
In a Silver Thunderbird

He got up every morning
While i was still asleep
But I remember the sound of him shuffling around
Then right before the crack of dawn
I heard him turn the motor on
But when I got up they were gone

Down the road in the rain and snow
The man and his machine would go
Oh the secrets that old car would know
Sometimes I hear him sayin'... "

und hier der song mit der geschichte vorab, wie es zu dem song kam...

zurück zur ausgangsfrage:

wir haben uns gefragt, wie Marc Cohen seinen song geschrieben hätte, wenn er heute unser sohn wäre

vielleicht so

Watched it coming down southward

From kd to the shore

Yeah it was looking good from tail to hood

19inchers and painted steel

Man it looked just like the batmobile

With my old man behind the wheel

Well you could hardly even see him

behind the power dome

The man with the plan and the mobilephone

But every night it carried him home

And I could hear him sayin’…

Don’t gimme no buick

Son, do not ask any more

If there`s a god in heaven

He’s got an orion z4

You can keep all those camaros

And the foreign cars no more

Me I want to go down

In an orion z4
He got up every morning
While i was still asleep
But I remember the sound of him shuffling around
Then right before the crack of dawn
I heard him turn the motor on
But when I got up they were gone

Down the road in the rain and snow
The man and his machine would go
Oh the secrets that old car would know
Sometimes I hear him sayin'...

Sehr schöner Song.
Die Autos unserer Kindheit üben natürlich eine ganz besondere Faszination aus. Mir geht es zumindest mit den Fahrzeugen der siebziger Jahre so.
Daher kann ich mir schon gut vorstellen, daß die Kinder von heute, wenn sie in ca. 30 Jahren einen gut erhaltenen Z4 sehen ins schwärmen kommen und sich denken:
"Das waren noch Autos mit Charakter", während sie auf ihre eigenen rundgelutschten Elektro/Hybridmobile schauen .

Der Z4 eignet sich damit perfekt für einen Song über schöne Kindheitserinnerungen.

..ist in meiner Plattensammlung!...und ich mage es...meine Kinder sind klug genug und denken wohl hoffentlich ganz anderes, wenn sie an ihren Vater denken.
