Way back in 2015 I started writing this Rock Project, a Concept Album loosely inspired by the masterpiece of the great German director Wim Wenders.

It’s important to specify since the very beginning, that there is no official involvement and no single connection with the director.

The story I’m going to tell in music is only loosely taken from the screenplay of 1987’s “The sky over Berlin” (Wings of Desire) and the subsequent 1998 remake “City of Angels”.

The album consists of 18 tracks, three of which are instrumental. Below is the journey through this project of mine, listing the lyrics and the show notes in order.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoy it.

01 - Intro - A Taste of Souls (Voices)

Opening scene Damiel, the angel, looks down on the city from the roofs of the buildings, watches people live their lives and listens to their thoughts.

The angels in this story are guardians of history, not guardian angels as we are used to considering them.
