Am Anfang war es nur eine Akkordfolge, die mir gefiel und zu der ich immer mehr Instrumente einspielte. Ein richtiges Lied wurde erst daraus, als mein Freund Buddy Howell aus Oklahoma die Melodie und den Text beisteuerte. Er nahm die Vocals in den USA auf und schickte sie mir auf CD nach Deutschland, wo ich sie mit den Instrumentalspuren zusammen mischte.
Virtual Love
(Howell/Reich)
Heart. It’s my heart coursing you through my veins.
I see you walk by and I die.
Cold. Cold and warm; feeling joys, feeling pains.
One touch of your hand, I could fly.
Wondering ‘bout this hurt inside.
Wondering if I’m sure that I’ll survive?
Wondering if you even know that I’m alive?
Love. Virtual love – it’s all that I have;
Imagining you in my life.
Then in those moments when I wake, my lucid moments, no mistake; it all seems so clear: You’ll never be mine!
And darling, that cuts like a knife.
But there’s always hope – hope that you will one day see
Hope that we will someday be together
Yeah there’s always hope – hope my dreams can then transcend
Hoping that I won’t have to pretend-
This virtual love – virtual love – virtual love.
