"Mir Ist So Nach Dir" is a cheeky, old-school love confession wrapped in Max Raabe’s signature retro charm. Throughout the song, the singer can’t shake an almost whimsical longing for that special someone: “Mir ist so nach dir … und mir wird immer nach dir sein.” In other words, “I’m in the mood for you, yesterday, today, and always!” He daydreams about being completely alone together, while at the same time poking fun at his own obsession. The playful back-and-forth questions – “What’s going on with you? What’s going on with me?” – reveal a mix of curiosity and comedic self-doubt that keeps the mood light and flirtatious.
Behind the vintage sound of the Palast Orchester, the message is refreshingly simple: sometimes love just takes over, and we spend the whole day wondering how the other person feels in return. This song captures that fizzy, slightly goofy stage of infatuation when your heart is sure, but your head is still asking questions. It is a perfect melody for anyone who enjoys a clever twist on classic romance.
