About 'We are all mad here'
When I first read Alice in wonderland my favorite characters where the mad hatter and his friends. They were different and certainly mad, yet they were together drinking tea and embracing each others peculiarities. Wouldn't the world be a better place, if we would do this? Instead of condemning each other for our skin color, beliefs, who we love or politics we would embrace diversity and celebrate it in friendship.
This is the idea that made me write 'We are all mad here'. A song for everyone, that invites you to be a part of a colorful happy crowd that doesn't judges or discriminates you. But often our attempts for equality and unity end in more division and hatred. That's why I sing “violence is no solution and this is not a revolution, just a song”. This song doesn't blame any one, it's not some kind of lesson for people that aren't tolerant. It's just a song about the beauty of being allowed to be different. Because after all, we are all mad here anyway, and that's ok.
The production of 'We are all made here' started quite harmless with me and my Dad in our recording studio. After laying down the basic arrangement, we asked our friend Ralf Erkel to add some keyboard tracks and he pushed the boundaries open to the final madness. When Dave Mette played the drum track, we knew it will be a different song from everything we did before. Still something was missing and we thought a trumpet would be a good idea. Eddie Diaz came around one afternoon and nailed it with his trumpet.
Uli Pfannmüller got the tracks for mixing and gave it the final mad feeling which we love.
Lyrics
It doesn't matter where you come from,
or in which body you think you belong,
It doesn't matter what clothes you put on,
nothing matters in this song.
We don't care about the color of your skin,
or the religion you believe in,
It's not important with who you've been,
the door is open, come and sing.
We're all mad here, anyway,
We are all mad here, in different ways.
Some are mad about money,
some are crazy and funny,
Not strange, just unique,
we are all mad differently.
Some are mad about boys,
some are mad about girls,
Some are mad enough to hate the world,
some are mad about work.
We're all mad here, anyway,
We are all mad here, in beautiful ways.
Violence is no solution, and this not a revolution, just a song,
(Shine, the world is wonderland)
And your madness isn't worse than mine, let us all be mad and we'll be fine, sing along.
(When we all, go hand in hand)
Violence is no solution, and this not a revolution, just a song,
(Shine, the world is wonderland)
We are all mad here, and that's ok.
