Rarely Heard: Soap&Skin - Vater Im a great fan of Soap&Skin, the musical project of the Austrian musician and composer Anja Plaschg. ...often drawing comparisons between Plaschg and celebrated female singer/songwriters such as Cat Power, Nico, Kate Bush, and Björk (Allmusic) Id say her compositions show a very individual musical vision, all meticulously created song poems, often little operas in themselves, like the song Vater. Shes been successful in her home country and a bit in France and Belgium, but Id say shes deserves much more attention. Most of her songs are not in German, I have included a translation of Vaters lyrics below. Stop all the clocks, prevent the dog from barking at the wheel, wherever i impact ill find you you fall into the shadows of days as silence and stab i drink a dozen bottles of wine and would rather be a maggot the coffin collapses the flowers fall onto your cheeks first white then blue then grey then green then foam then leaves and dust please put yourself out of my mind out of my house who else should i cope the horror with which heart? with which body? over. over. wherever i impact ill find you you fall into the shadows of days as silence and stab i wait for you returning home i never wanted to be a maggot more than now beeing a maggot beeing a maggot .. Let me in, in, (your) bones being hard as you are let me in your eye i want to see pass the test without pain without pain without pain let me in you stone not going to be saved by waiting, by wine, by screaming for everything in the world that keeps you alive i smash my firmament which collapses under you until you tilt and finally show up again
