Memories that fade
Tell me where the hippies are
where have they gone?
Flower-Power Sandelwind
what has happened?
Through patchouli flower child
still walks in the musk wind
when will we ever understand?
when will we ever understand?
Sometimes I still think wistfully of the past. The world seemed a bit more colorful and friendly back then.
My youth was strongly influenced by the hippie era. There were brightly painted VW buses, ducks and R4s everywhere on the streets. In the city garden, long-haired men and women sat together. They wore Indian cotton dresses and pluderhosen and their children played in colorful sewn dresses. Every now and then you could hear guitar music. It was common to just sit down and strangers became friends.
My youth and my later life would certainly have been very different if I hadn't experienced that time. I can still remember sitting in dark cellars and philosophizing about the meaning of life. We read Siddharta by Hermann Hesse and listened to music on our cassette recorders or record players. There were mattresses on the floor and the air was thick with incense sticks that smelled of sandalwood, musk and patchouli. What had our predecessors achieved for us? - in 1961, the pill came onto the market. 1968 saw the women's movement with Alice Schwarzer and her Emma. It was the time of the sexual revolution.
1955-1975 then the cruel Vietnam War, from which the youth protests and finally the peace movement emerged." Imagine all the People" sang John Lennon and the whole music changed. Blues, rock and folk music emerged.
The great Woodstock Festival, at which Joan Baez, Jimmy Hendrix, Joe Cocker, Santana and many others performed.
-I don't just want to gloss over this time. The drug use of many also cost a number of victims.
But what does all this have to do with Le Bain? - The scent reminds me very much of the fragrances from back then. The powdery-floral gourmand is very intense. Unlike in the past, it gives me a headache today..
All in all, I have to say: "Youth was beautiful!" I wish each and every one of you could also experience such a carefree time.
Finally, let's sing a song:
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago.......
(Joan Baez and Bob Dylan)
