Sharing every single moment, Everything happy - everything sad. Hear your laughing - see you cry. What a pretty and wonderful friend. Beate dedicates this song to the memory of Mercedes Rossi, a great pianist and friend who died young in 1995. She will be remembered by everybody who had the chance to listen to her playing.
Compositions often change like growing up children.
Originally conceived as a samba, the tune more and more took the form of a Baiao. Beate, who works regularly with Brazilian musicians, was inspired to this composition by a Brazilian fairytale about two lovers living apart. They keep in contact with each other with the help of a big bird on whose back they fly to each other in their dreams. The tune dates back to the time when she was in Woodstock, and therefore she doesn't remember exactly why she combined the Trinidadian dance with the favourite dish of the Australian Koala bear. The rhythm section includes soundengineers clapping their hands.
