Archie from Killing time by Jenny Thiele
The melody "Archie, Archie" came to me in 2011 when I met a man called Archie on a street music tour that I did through Germany. Years later I wrote the song "Archie" telling the story of a man who's being killed on the street for "for being different". It's a hymn for respect, tolerance and piece, against racism, discrimination and violence!

Lyrics
Archie Archie
you are a melody
you got me, got me kicked me off my feet
we would dance on our rendez-vouz
debate the world with force and laughter too
Archie Archie
and as the time goes by
in march we'll
march we'll be husband and wife
we'll have a son and have a daughter too
we'll be debating the world like we used to do
Archie Archie
it happened on the street
they're marching, marching
bullets between their teeth
everyone's watching
nobody sees a thing
everyone hears you scream
but nobody is listening
Archie Archie
and as the time goes by
in march we'll march we'll bury you goodbye
Archie Archie
you are a melody
they're marching and singing in every country

Wenn Wikipedia mit gerunzelter Stirn und nervösem Kaffee-Atem nachhaken würde, man müsste „Platz“ von Jenny Thiele offiziell als ihr drittes Album nummerieren.
Allerdings stellt das Solo-Schaffen davor viel eher eine Art Prequel dar. Denn Raum und Zeit für den Selbstentwurf ihres hinreißenden Dream-Pops haben sich erst jetzt vollends geöffnet.
