For You - Triumvirat
"Words can't describe what I feel
..
When I'm alone with you at night
..
Words seem to fail.."
From the album ''A la carte''
Released in 1978
Words can't describe what I feel
When I'm alone with you at night
Words seem to fail
A single smile upon your face
Will make my day
Words don't explain what it means
To hold you in my arms again
Words cannot say
How I love to be with you
In every way
l fly if you will see me I'm getting high on love and feeling
I take your hand
I hold your face
Your lips feel soft
Let's make it last for days
Higher 'than the eagle
We'll fly away with love and feeling
And I can't wait until you see me
See me again
There are times when we're apart
And when I think of you
I hold my pounding heart
And all l want to do
Is to be close you
And every time it's like a brand new start
Words don't explain what it means
To hold you in my arms again
Words cannot say
How I love to be with you
In every way
I fly if you will see me
I'm getting high on love and feeling
I take your hand
And hold your face
Your lips feel soft
Let's make it last for days
Higher that the eagle
We'll fly away with love and feeling
Yes I can wait until you see me again
TRIUMVIRAT was a German progressive rock trio that formed in 1969 in Cologne, Germany. The founding members were: keyboardist/composer Hans-Jürgen (later simply Jürgen) Fritz (born March 13th, 1953), drummer/lyricist Hans Bathelt, and bassist Werner Frangenberg.
Meaning of name
In German and French, Triumvirat is the word for a Triumvirate (see that article for historical institution of that name).
History - Formation
During its early years, Triumvirat initially played Top 40 songs at local venues in Cologne. The Nice and Emerson, Lake & Palmer heavily influenced Triumvirats musical direction and the band incorporated some of Nice/ELP music into their repertoire (Rondo among others). In fact, at the height of their fame during the 70s prog rock era, Triumvirat was often referred to as the German Emerson, Lake & Palmer or ELP clone due to Fritz's classical virtuosity on keyboards and synthesizers.
Record contract
In the early 1970s, the band sent a demo tape to EMI Records in Cologne and won their first record contract. Triumvirat subsequently produced modestly successful albums during the early to mid-1970s, including Mediterranean Tales: Across The Waters and Illusions on a Double Dimple and toured the United States with Fleetwood Mac to support Illusions on a Double Dimple, playing the album in its entirety. In 1975, Triumvirat reached the apex of their commercial success with the release of Spartacus, which is considered by many as a classic "prog rock" masterpiece album, along with Illusions on a Double Dimple.
The band underwent numerous personnel changes over the course of its life and eventually disbanded in 1980 with the release of their final album Russian Roulette. An officially-authorized biography of the group was written by Russell Schenewerk and appears on www.triumvirat.net.
Helmut Köllen
Vocalist/bassist Helmut Köllen (performing on the band's most successful albums, Illusions and Spartacus). Köllen left the band after Spartacus to pursue a solo career. On May 3, 1977, at the age of 27 (born March 2nd, 1950), he died from carbon monoxide poisoning while listening to some of his studio tracks in his car's cassette player while running the engine in his garage. His debut solo album You Won't See Me was released posthumously in October 1977.
