Shimmer is a 1985 album by Sal Paradise, released on the Arista record label (206 156-620). The music broke new musical ground in the 'World' category by fusing mostly Moroccan beats with Moog synthesizers and strong English church bell-like choruses. The music became famous in Europe when it was taken up by Eckhart Schmidt as the soundtrack to his film Die Story, which was the second biggest grossing film in Germany that year.
Here comes wintertime
Like a long and dark night
Man, I feel so unprepared this time
No stored heat, just the smell of deceit and defeat
Rolled into one and then put on repeat
I really need to get a hold of myself
If I'm to get back on my feet
Cause this year I got my heart broken
My fears awoken
My beliefs shaken
And my dignity taken
But am I wrong to assume that the world is absurd
When religion comes first and knowledge comes third
And there's a fast river
That's a slow killer
And cause for bonuses at Phizer
But advice that she won't get her pills if we don't pay her bills
And it's a sad story but greed is our top skill
So far so good
Except for a vague feeling that I should not expect calls
Family dinners, long vacations or pictures on bedroom walls
These are things I really don't need at all
I just hope she's a
Heartbreaker
A soulshaker
And a lovemaker
Or a damn good faker
Cause I really don't care about these little things
That make a household work
Or make her things ring
And it's a long story with no glory
Just mistaken for an undertaking that doesn't need replicating
Oh, these are things I really don't need at all
I got my heart broken
My fears awoken
My beliefs shaken
And my dignity taken
But am I wrong to assume that the world is absurd
When religion comes first and knowledge comes third
And there's a fast river
That's a slow killer
And cause for bonuses at Phizer
But advice that she won't get her pills if we don't pay her bills
