Is it possible that a photographer is hiding beyond a journalist? A writer beyond a photographer? And beyond a drop-out someone who's quite willing to have a career - but by his own rules and at his own time and place? Can a man from Hamburg, Germany survive in Mauritius, Africa? And what's going on in such a man? Many questions surround writer, photographer and journalist Christian Bass. In "This is me - a monkey in the music" he answers them all. He invites his readers to have a close look at his inner thoughts and fears. In his lyrics he talks about his ups and downs. "This is me!" is a simple but self-confident statement of a man who has proven "If you really want something, there's always a way!"

PRELUDE
Lucky, there is no other word which describes my feeling towards this collection better than this one simple word. Lucky - I am lucky and also a little bit proud that you are here with me now and that I really can present you, dear Reader, the fourth edition of »This is me, a monkey in the music«.
What has changed? Hardly anything, except that I have rearranged the order of the lyrics and added some new photographs and poems. And of course the whole layout has changed completely. A face-lifting that brought it closer to the former idea I had when I first created this Book.
I guess and I hope that you will enjoy the short journey through my past. We will visit many stations of my adventurous life during this travel, not every stop will be fun but there is always a truth within. Like the first time, when I uploaded ‘This is me’, I still feel strange because you will get to know me much better after reading these poetic texts. You will enter my past, my sanctuary, not exactly a thing that I really like but something that is necessary. I really believe it is, that’s why I invite you to this – my – holy place.
Have a nice and safe journey!
Yours sincerely
Christian Bass
WHO AM I?
Who am I and who could I be?
Questions with no meaning at all
The right answer depends on me
Who am I and who could I be?
Nobody unless I am free
Sometimes I stand, sometimes I fall
Who am I and who could I be?
Questions with no meaning at all!
STRUGGLING WITH LIFE
Back in time I see this boy struggling with his life
Filled with dreams and high hopes; he fights to stay alive
His demons, his secret, lost in his own conflict
Not a boy yet a man, feeling betrayed and tricked
While he spent his childhood on the Hollywood Drive
Just his dreams of the Broadway let this boy survive
Turned his blues into a rocking mid-summer-night jive
Gave him a reason and answered why he got picked
Struggling with his life
His parents already were looking for a wife
A good decent woman that makes his name survive
Between duty and his loving heart he felt kicked
Disgusted with which future his parents have picked
Out of options for truth would hit them like a knife
Back in time I see myself struggling with my life!
