Doris Days – To Ulrike M. (Zero 7 Mix)
As children of small-town Linkoping, Sweden, the members of Doris Days had their first joint musical experiences in 1989.
Ulrike Marie Meinhof was a German left-wing militant. She co-founded the Red Army Faction (Rote Armee Fraktion) in 1970 after having previously worked as a journalist for the monthly left-wing magazine Konkret. She was arrested in 1972, and eventually charged with numerous murders and the formation of a criminal association. Before the trial concluded, Meinhof died in her cell in 1976.
Electronica act Doris Days created a track entitled To Ulrike M., in which there is a passage spoken in German throughout the song, presumably an archived audio file from Ulrike Meinhof herself. This track has since been remixed by other electronica acts like Zero 7, Kruder & Dorfmeister, and The Amalgamation Of Soundz.
Needed time to think
Among blue lights and screaming sirens
We drove a car that night
And the radio played our song
In a mellow drum way
Fragments of untamed wildlife
With a push upon the heart
Like a Jesus in season
There I held a trembling hand
Seeking shelter in strange apartments
Til the day they turned her in
Being Judases of nowadays
