@@beaniessumners276 You're a clever, beanie. Except that "Amadeus" is a Latin name meaning "love of God" or "one who loves God". Whereas "Asmodeus" is mythological and has like a dozen different spellings - none of which are "Amadeus". They are, if you can read, completely different words. So I guess you can safely go back to listening. Dolt.

[@argentum746]

What are you talking about? He reached his popularity peak and aknowledged he would not be able to top his success and rise any higher than he already did, before he just went off to basically rip his career. He reached the peak and insanely famous for what he achieved and he was so wealthy and popular that he grew a fame paranoia. And all that while some of his songs were more or less only coverversions of already existing songs. He def. received the attention, fame and financial reward he earned. At his funeral were 4000 people. Wouldnt call that a lack of respect.

Back when this song was popular, a radio station in Louisville Kentucky was changing its call letters. I believe it was from WKJJ to WDJX. The DJ at the time disagreed and locked himself in the booth. He managed to play this song at least 37 times in a row before they could unlock the booth and take over. That was nearly 40 years ago and a wonderful memory from my childhood.

[@jmusic2024]

well, this happens across the whole Europe - most songs are in english and we do not understand much apart from some chorus line.

[@leviturner3265]

I think that is something general that you notice about music. First and foremost there must be a good beat, rhythm, and sound, past that the words, or meanings are less important. Even if you do not know German, all Falco's songs are better in German, than in English. Also all Nena's songs including 99 Luftballons. The original German version is tops. Don't listen to the English version. Also, the Peter Schilling "Major Tom" is better in German, because that was the original and it sounds better, whether or not you can understand it.

Trouble was, he was one of the first composers who chose to live on commissions he earned from what we now call free lance work. Most composers til then tried to have a steady job as a kapellmeister in the service of a rich patron. So when in his last two years his music began to fall out of favor with the public, his income dwindled that fast that he could only be buried in a paupers' mass grave at his death (main thing why we still don't know where his remains are).

I truly believe Falco was an unappreciated genius and some whose genius kept escalating with each creation. He managed to find video directors who captured visually what he had in mind, especially with this video and the one for The Sound of Musik (which is banned by YT but can be seen on Vimeo). Such a tragic death. I hope it was quick for him. It is a pity we do not have Falco with us now.

Falco was a very troubled person; he regularly tried to escape from alcohol and drugs but only managed to escape at times; he was in exile in the Dominican Republic, but still in great personal difficulty; he killed himself when he left a car park in a blind spot, literally hitting into a very speeding bus. He was under the influence of alcohol and drugs. His friend, the former racing driver Niki Lauda, had his body flown back to Vienna with one of his airline planes. His grave is the most visited in Vienna's central cemetery.
