AnnenMayKantereits Sänger über "Pocahontas"


Guten Abend in die Runde,

wir haben das Management der Band AnnenMayKantereit angeschrieben und von dem
positiven Feedback der US-DeutschlehrerInnen berichtet. Außerdem haben wir
gefragt, warum der neue Song ausgerechnet "Pocahontas" heißt.

Der Sänger der Band hat uns daraufhin persönlich untenstehende Email auf Englisch
geschrieben.

Wohlbemerkt ist dies derzeit eine der vielversprechendsten neuen Bands in
Deutschland. Wir finden, dass ihre Antwort davon zeugt, wie sehr sie ihre Fans
in den USA wertschätzen. Es ist wirklich etwas Besonderes, dass sie sich Zeit
genommen haben, ausführlich zu antworten - vor allem so kurz vor der
Veröffentlichung ihres Debut-Albums am 18. März.


Hier den Brief:

Hi,
my name is henning.
I wrote the lyrics for "pocahontas" and i also sing it in the video.

I was really happy to hear, someone so far away is listening to our music.
Hopefully, i can answer your question satisfyingly.

When i was very young, we had only a few movies at home. Maybe three or four.
It was a time without the world wide web. No Netflix, no amazon.
So.... there was one movie i was watching over and over and over. It was
Disneys Pocahontas. Surely, at the age of five, you know nothing about love,
but still i was sure, if I'd ever love someone, I'd love someone like Pocahontas.

When i was 17, i fell in love the first time in my life.
It was a girl from another school, being way prettier than me.
She had dark hair and her skin was also somehow brown.
I did not know her name, and i was too shy to ask.
One day, my best friend was asking me, "what are you staring at all the time?"
I was answering, that i am looking at Pocahontas.
He knew directly whom i was talking about.
Since that day he was asking me nearly every time we were leaving school, "
And....? have you seen Pocahontas today?"

And Yes...she became my girlfriend... at least for a few years...

Lots of love from cologne.
Thank you for listening.
Hopefully we'll meet someday.

Yours.
Captain Smith.
(Henning)
