The Writing Music Challenge
Here is some wonderful Progrock from the 70's
I have been challenged by my friend
@steevc to write about some music I love. And for sure, if he calls - I deliver something very special.
The rules of the challenge are:
- Tell me about an album you love and tell me about the standout album track on it.
- Don’t tell me about any singles on your album. I want to hear about that hidden gem that is tucked away and not played on the radio.
- Give me a story about the album, how you learned about it, and most importantly highlight that special album track
- Challenge THREE more people to do the same. It’s good to write, especially about music. It’s a passion.
- Make sure you add these rules to your post and feel free to use the format I use below.
- Post your Music Challenge article in the MUSIC Community #hive-193816
- If you want to write a post and have not been challenged, then do so.
- Prefix your post 'Writing Music Challenge' so it's easy to spot.
The Album
Listen to all songs from this great progrock album from 1977. Yeah this is a different style of music made by a bunch of Germans.
My very special song - Ernie's Reise
This is easy, as the story of Ernie's Reise is outstanding. And I will never forget the live show of this band from their gigs in the 80's
See the Lyrics and the story they are telling. Enjoy!
Lyrics
ERNIE'S REISE SONGTEXT
You live the story
Of the innocent life's defeat of solitude's dice
Captivated by a moonbeam, chained to dispisers of your love
Captivated by dispisers, lost in the canyons of your mind
Take just another lad
Call him Ernie and see him returning home from school
Left alone at some old window, leaving paper dreams to fly
Hear the wind whispering gently calling you to dream away
So fly away in a staggering paper plane
Don't be afraid when somebody takes your game
High above the town soars a little boy in his paper plane
Astonished he peers down, the houses look like toys from his paper plane
The wind takes his hand
Sparkling rivers below, watch the green meadows flow
Feel your face caressed by a golden rainbow
Ernie never felt so strong
As he was gliding along, forgetting all fences he sailed till dawn
Look the sun is sinking low, little boy where do you go
Time leads you to darkness of the night, shocks you with fright
Don't fear the shadow over you, it's a bird called Maraboo
He will light his light, Ernie, he will be your guide
Confidence is a strong assistance to you
Hey little Ernie, I'd like to take you home to my nest
The sun will keep you warm and cozy all nite long
And you'll have a pleasent rest skip on my chest
The tree with the nest of the bird where the sun goes to bed is so high
It touches the sky
Far away a Blackshirt cleans a chain
Hey little lads, get on dreaming
Fear the warming far away from home
Find your hope in some desert stone
Smell some dope in an ice-cream cone
Announcement:
This evening a huge bird was seen carrying a little boy on his back in a height of about 3.000 feet right above sector 0/16. The bird was carrying some beer-bottles, a bag with vegetables, was lit contrary to regulations and was smoking a pipe. We instruct all planes cruising this sector to observe this incident. Over.

Unbelievable, after so many years, this band is still alive.
