Always In My Heart

about

Composed for my musical colleague Waedi Gysi. We met in 1990 while improvising with Hans Reichel at the Moers Jazz Festival, then formed the Sonic Renegades as an improvising trio with Hans.

In 1993 Waedi suggested we make a trio with U.K. drummer Chris Cutler. That June (ec) Nudes toured and began to record Vanishing Point. After playing about 70 concerts in Europe (adding Bob Drake on bass), the band later reformed as the Pale Nudes, releasing two more albums and touring North America and Europe until about 1998.

Waedi dealt with the effects of Leukemia since 2014 and left us in May, 2022. A few months before he passed, I wrote this song to cheer him up.

I put his name WALTER WAEDI GYSI into my musical alphabet, and created a series of tones that became the bassline :)

lyrics

Veni vidi vici
(we came we saw we conquered)
Volando sui nostri bici
(flying on our bicycles)
Siamo tutti amici
(we are all friends)
Loro chi amano i pici sono amici
(Those who love pici are friends ~ a quote from our friend Roberto Barcucci from Montepulciano talking about the local hand made pasta, i pici)

Veni vidi baci
(we came we saw, kisses)
Daiamo i baci veraci
(let's give true kisses)
Carrezzando le nostre facce
(carressing our faces)
con l'amore della pace
(with the love of peace)

Waedi du bist meine liebeli
Always in my heart
Our souls will never part

(then nonsense words rhyming with my mispronunciation of his name)
Waedeli baedeli
Kusseli busseli
Waedeli zaedeli
Kusseli busseli
