Cello is a playful love letter to youthful obsession and the magnetic pull of music. The storyteller remembers racing after a captivating cellist on mopeds, hitchhiking, even sneaking onto trains, just to catch every show. He always grabbed the front-row seat, heart pounding while she bowed her strings like a goddess. Those concerts filled his days with excitement and his nights with dream-spun melodies.
Years have rolled by, and the once electrifying cello now gathers dust in a basement in Erfurt. With a mix of nostalgia and gentle pleading, he urges her to tune up and relive the magic. The song celebrates first love, the thrill of live music, and the hope that shared passions can strike up a fresh chord no matter how much time has passed.
