@uglyzombie I since discovered it's about a serial killer in Germany. Had no idea!
-
@lunchedmanagement Except... you're absolutely wrong. You have no idea what this song is about, do you?
-
@philateliceun dance music that's based on blues type riffs kinda wiggles inbetween major and minor.
-
@fishorbit1 I love that line too. To me, it means he's thinking of sailing to America, as he senses life in Dusseldorf, for a Jew in 1934, is hopeless.

Such an emotional song. Hes about to cry.

"I'm looking at the river, but I'm thinking of the sea"
Does that line really get to anyone else, or is it just me?
Awesome song. Love how it captures the feeling of 1934 perfectly.

The song is about Peter Kurten, the "Vampire of Dusseldorf" who killed a bunch of adults and children around 1930. He was much more evil than Jack the Ripper, but he got caught, so he's much less famous.
If you're really interested by the creepy 1930s Germany murder aesthetic of this song, I'd suggest Fritz Lang's "M", a 1931 movie starring Peter Lorre about a child-killer who bears many resemblances to Kurten. It's amazing.
