Il ritorno sulle scene del pop è per Maximilian Hecker l'occasione per testimoniare nuovamente le sue (nostre) pene d'amore.
Si strazia ma non si rattrista, anzi sembra cullarsi nella nostalgia dei ricordi e delle situazioni descritte in questi 11 brani.

La casa tedesca Kitty-Yo ha puntato parecchio su questo artista e il lavoro fatto lo si apprezza in questo cd. Piú ricercato dell'esordio "Infinite Love Song" ma non per questo troppo elaborato.

Si parte con un'intro di pianoforte che sembra fare da colonna sonora al tema centrale dell'album, ma Kate Moss è solo nel titolo, icona di bellezza.
Influenze british ("I Am Falling Now" e "That's What You Do") e addirittura una reminescenza drum'n'bass ("My Love For You Is Insane") che non fa perdere in dolcezza.
Un drumming che piú distorto non si può fa da contraltare in "My Friends".

Chiude con il ritratto della protagonista di queste pene d'amore "Rose", appunto, sperando (ahilui!) che continuino ad ispirarlo.

01   Kate Moss (06:05)

Seven days and not one glance from her
Seven days are a thousand years
Seven days and not one word of her
This is more than I could stand
"Don't call back
Don't call back", she said

Girl, I love you

02   I Am Falling Now (05:15)

There is no ending to this life
That I've to live with endless sighs
oh, can't you see I'm falling now
Oh, can't you hear these words somehow
But I can see the sadness in your eyes
And I can see the sadness in your smile

Hold me now
Heal my wounds
Hold me like you did

There is no ending to this life
That I've to live with endless sighs
And all I know is that my head is gone
And I am falling now
You don't miss me
You don't love me anymore
You don't need me

03   That's What You Do (04:18)

04   Fool (06:07)

Fool, I love you
Ooh, how I love you
Fool, will you stay or get away?
Fool, will I have your love someday?

So come here and let go
Come here, my love
So come here and be mine (and let go, my dear)
Come here, my love

All my longing
All my singing
Can, oh can it change the world someday?
Can, oh can it make you come and stay?

The days are endless without your eyes touching my heart, healing my wounds
Heaven knows how I have suffered
Heaven knows I just can't wait for you

05   My Story (04:34)

My Story
He was a boy with pale blue eyes
Who came some day to realize
It's almost heaven
It's almost heaven
It's almost heaven to be free

He threw away his youth and now it's gone
The days were short, the nights were long
He sang: "West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me higher, take me home"

He met some women, he met some girls
To break their hearts, to wear their shirts
He sang: "West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me higher, take me home."

He was a boy with pale blue eyes
Who came some day to realize
My dream is over
My dream is over
Mountain Mama, take me home

06   Daylight (04:07)

I can see the daylight
And I feel it's right
That she's flowing now
She's flowing 'til it's through
A never-ending darkness
A never-ending night
Now she flies away
To walk upon the clouds

Can you hear me singing?
Can you see me lying
Down on the floor
Still laughing like a child?
My head is full of voices
My head is full of lights
So please let me go
Please let me run away

Silly laughing when I come home
There's just no reason to call
I try to leave you to forget you
I try to leave you to love you
try to leave you to love
leave to love you

I can see the daylight
And I feel it's right
That she's flowing now
She's flowing 'til it's through
A never-ending darkness
A never-ending night
Now she flies away
To walk upon the clouds

Silly laughing when I come home
There's just no reason to call
I try to leave you to forget you
I try to leave you to love you
try to leave you to love
leave you to love you

Silly laughing when I come home
There's just no reason to call
I try to leave you to forget you
I try to leave you to love you
try to leave you to love
leave you to love you

07   My Love for You Is Insane (02:50)

08   Powderblue (03:23)

Sleep until the end of time
And rest as you were mine
They say you're lacking speed
Run, before our heaven breaks
Eventually she wakes
To burst into a thousand tears

Oh, I can't feel you, 'cause I am full of glue
The vault behind this jealous glance is blue
Pounce on me

Feed their hands with your sweet tongue
To save my wooden lung
It's cold and I'm not here
Light the light blue sky above
The fields are filled with love
My efforts were in vain

09   Never Ending Days (05:35)

10   My Friends (06:20)

11   Rose (07:38)

My life is swinging
My life is endless
It is endlessly falling down from heaven
And you will be washed to my shore

So light, so bright
Your face is shining above me
Heavy rainfalls and fragile guidance inside me
Roses, oh I beg you to blind me with love

Come down, feed me with stars that you've stolen from heaven
Waste me, kill me with one single glance into my eyes
Roses, oh I beg you to blind me with love

My life is swinging
My life is endless
It is endlessly falling down from heaven
And you will be washed to my shore
Believe in goldmines
Believe in crying
Fear in your sweet hair reminds me of the silent days
I don't fear death
There's no place for me

Heal my soul
Be my raincoat, Roses

Although I'm swinging
My life is over
It is over
