I make the call I light you up you never really sleep Feel like chit chat the whole night thru am I just in too deep? I need to have you close to me without you I get lost Is that what love’s supposed to be closeness at any cost I love you like I love you like I love you like my phone I look at you I stare at you I get lost in your glow You know my thoughts You know my likes You point me where to go You’re in my hands but when we dance I’m dancing to your beat Did I exist without your love you make me feel complete (auto complete) I love you like I love you like I love you like my phone Don’t drop me Don’t drop me Don’t drop me No

In dieser City sind die schönen dicken Frauen längst weg alle vergeben (buhlen kein Zweck) Und die, wo man weiß, sie sind reich, längst übern großen Teich (oder wenigstens in Munich) Die richtig klugen, runden Frau’n alle zeitig abgehau’n nach Berüssel zum Rundfunk (Rubens-Frauen in Rundfunkrunden) Alle Single-Girls, die sich gerne mal ne Wurst nehmen weg Richtung Hansestädte (etwa Bremen) Doch zum Glück hab ich keine Hemmungen alle Formen und Farben zu daten Und subtrahierst du das Fleisch vom Fisch bleiben eben noch die Gräten Also such ich mir ne knochige Mutter knochige Mutter knochige Mutter Eine knochige Mutter Ein wenig später treff ich sie sie flüstert mir leis in Ohr so süße Worte (in einer Fistelstimme) Ich bin willig also nimm mich, Mensch ist das heute windig (und bitte zerbrich mich nicht) Und als an einer ungeschützten Lichtung der Fön wie wild um unsere Körper streicht (ich bin wohl leptosomophil, ey) erregt mich das sehr, denn mein Girl klappert hölzern wie ein Windspiel (oder auch Mobilé) Und so geschah’s, als frisches Liebespaar ziehn wir durch die Straßen unsrer Kleinstadt Wenn sie müde wird nehm ich sie huckepack weil sie nicht mehr als 15 Kilo auf dem Leib hat Ich bin so stolz auf meine knochige Mutter knochige Mutter knochige Mutter Meine knochige Mutter Ich mag es nicht wenn man beim Sex plappert (oder schnattert) Ich mag es wohl wenn es beim Sex klappert (oder rattert) Ich hab genug von Zorn und Abschied Ich spür auf meiner Zunge den Geschmack von Horn und Abrieb Knochige Mutter (Googles meistgesuchter Bildersuchbegriff, nur durch mich) (Deutschland sucht das Wunschgewicht, ohne mich!)

Child 02:27
Welcome to earth, child It’s glad to host you Don’t mind its run down look We fucked it up right it’s yours to take now to use as your col’ring book Play while you can and smell all the flowers breathe just the freshest air Once you discover fear runs our system keep your calm don’t despair We fought so many wars for you against ourselves each time Left waste amongst the stars it’s true and greed is not a crime Will you put trust in the word of our teachers Would you please save this place? You’ve got one lifetime to make it happen Love, the human race

I can't believe How much you haunt me baby I close my eyes And all I see is you In your embrace I lose all will to consciously exist And all I know is falling into you I'm not awake but clearly I ain't sleeping Your dreamy eyes They just won't let me go I am yours For all eternity no questions asked Let me drown In your ocean now

about

What does "aging gracefully" mean to you?

Is it something that happens automatically? Is it something that others do for you? Is it something that can be avoided? Did you claim an eponymus URL hoping that the domain would eventually be bought by a wealthy retirement community for a five-figure sum, but in the meantime you wanted to do something with it?

The album "In Würde altern" was created in the Corona summer of 2020 - the idea of compiling a solo album with numerous guest contributions from long-time friends and companions had been simmering in the back of Aachen musician Moritz Schippers' mind for a long time. Due to the pandemic-inflicted loss of all performance opportunities, projects and social contacts, the time and peace were suddenly available.

While three pieces were created completely from scratch during this time, most already existed in various stages of completion. However, with many inspiring contributions from musicians who had been on stage with him for more than 10 years, each piece was completely revamped. The album is a kind of retrospective of the first decade of Moritz Schippers' musicianship - have the songs aged gracefully?
