Rio Reiser
Rio Reiser (9 January 1950 – 20 August 1996), was a German rock musician and singer of rock group Ton Steine Scherben. He was born Ralph Christian Möbius in Berlin and died at the age of 46 in Fresenhagen, Germany. Rio Reiser supported squatting in the early 1970s and later the green political party Die Grünen. After German reunification, he joined the Party of Democratic Socialism.
Life
His father was an engineer for Siemens AG, and the family moved several times because of his father's work; they lived in Berlin, Upper Bavaria, Nuremberg, Mannheim, and Stuttgart. Reiser was never really able to feel at home in any of these places. Many of his friends said, when they were asked in an interview which was broadcast on the TV channel arte in 1998, that he started playing music to create a place where he felt at home.
Reiser was known by his friends as someone who had a very special mind of his own. For example, he managed to persuade his mother Erika Möbius that he was allowed to stop attending school and start an apprenticeship in a studio for photography, which he then quit in order to join a music conservatory and later to follow his two older brothers to Berlin at the early age of 17 in order to put the world's first "Rock Opera" onto stage. His mother supported his musical and artistic ambitions since she had soon realized that he was an autodidact; he never learned things when he was taught by someone else. Thus he taught himself how to play cello, guitar, the piano and other instruments, wrote lyrics and poetry and later also assumed jobs as actor in some movies and TV shows or at the theatre.

Rio Rio
by: Ester DeanLet me take u to Rio
Let me take u to Rio
Let me take you oh, take you up
Take you far in the skyline
Let me take you, won't let me take u to Rio!
We are in?
Don't wait for the moment, it's everywhere that we go
Don't worry about the future 'cause really you never know
Trust yourself, no one will tell you which way shouldn't go
All the time, most of the time, somebody time, nothing of mine
Under the sun,
Someone smile
Weather's bad, weather not in the time
Nothing but blue skies I deal with the clouds
My God
Let me take u to Rio
Fly over the ocean like an eagle
And we can chillin like gazebo,
Oooh oh oh, na na na
Let me take u to Rio
Fly over the ocean like an eagle
And we can chillin like gazebo,
Oooh oh oh, na na na
Shoe you a life that never experienced
Open your mind up and witness the limitless
Some things come easy, but some are the trickiest
Learn to relax and quit being so serious
Seriously, life is mysterious
It appears to be so simple but also ambiguous
All we can do is indure the void, and suck it up
All of the incredible view from the ocean up above!
Let me take u to Rio
Fly over the ocean like an eagle
And we can chillin like gazebo,
Oooh oh oh, na na na
Let me take u to Rio
Fly over the ocean like an eagle
And we can chillin like gazebo,
Oooh oh oh, na na na
Check it in advance, wanna go slow
Oh, just move your body
Welcome to the floor
Let you body go na na na
Oooh oh!
Let me take u to Rio
Fly over the ocean like an eagle
And we can chillin like gazebo,
Oooh oh oh, na na na
Let me take u to Rio
Fly over the ocean like an eagle
And we can chillin like gazebo,
Oooh oh oh, na na na
