Even if you don't understand the words, you can understand Mr. Mey's songs. From a tradition dating back to the troubadours, he turns life into music with an incredibly creative innate sense of melody. Even without understanding the text, you can empathize with him as he lost his red bear, Or hear the hope in his voice as he sings: Du kannst Fliegen, Ja, du kannst.". If you do understand the text, then you are certainly in for a treat. Without malice or "Schadenfreude", he conveys a gentle social criticism, and a very friendly vision for the future.
