'' Kein Wort kann Musik erklären, Musik erklärt immer nur sich selbst.'' ( Michael Cretu )
'' Musik ist mein Leben '' ( Michael Cretu )
'' Ich glaube, das was Enigma ausmacht, ist das Gefühl, daß es transportiert.
Es scheint ein Gefühl zu sein, daß die Menschen berührt, ganz gleich ob
er jetzt Eskimo, Afrikaner oder Schotte ist.'' ( Michael Cretu )
'' Wenn es um Musik geht, ist es ein Stück meines Herzens'' ( Michael Cretu )
Ich bin fasziniert von den Songs von Enigma. Bei dieser Musik lasse ich mich auf einer Reise in eine andere Welt mitnehmen, in der ich entspannen, chillen und träumen kann. Ich bin immer wieder begeistert, wie Michael Cretu es schafft, in seinen Songs die Stimmungen rüberzubringen, die den einzigartigen Style von Enigma ausmachen. Auch die Texte sind cool. Auf dieser Seite habe ich die Songs aufgeführt, die mir am besten gefallen.
Michael ist ein cooler Typ, überhaupt nicht abgehoben trotz seines Erfolgs als Musiker und Produzent. Das Interview am 10.03.06 beim NDR in der Sendung ''Die rote Couch'' hat mir sehr gut gefallen.
Ein sehr interessantes Interview mit Michael vom November 2006 gibt es auch auf
www.planet-interview.de/interviews/pi.php?interview=cretu-michael-07112006
Das neue Enigma Album A Posteriori ist ein weiterer Meilenstein vom Schöpfer der geheimnisvollen Klänge. Schon beim ersten hören hat mich dieses Meisterwerk überzeugt.
Dancing with Mephisto ( Musik & Text: Michael Cretu )
Follow me, come and see
infinity, eternity
follow me, toi e moi

Sitting on the moon ( Musik & Text: Michael Cretu )
I'm sitting on the moon, watching planet blue, hello
looking all around, rotating without sound, where are you
where are you, I'm sitting on the moon
where are you, I'm missing you
I came from very far a little unknown star, hello
I don't know what to do, it is so cold and blue without you
where are you, I'm sitting on the moon
where are you, I'm missing you
**************************************************
Following the Sun ( Musik & Text: Michael Cretu )
Following the sun, to
find the one
Who's giving you the wings to fly
Following the sun, the golden one
Losing sense for space and time
Can you feel the waves of life
(Can you) hear the sigh of love
Do you believe in it ?
Following the sun, just for the one
Till you'll find the door you thought
Following the sun, like everyone
Searching for a sign of hope
Have a look up to the sky
See the billion stars above
Cos (maybe) on one of them
You'll spend your further life
**************************************************
Look of Today ( Musik & Text: Michael Cretu )
Come in and see the newest things
Feel what just money can bring
Don't you know, that's the load of today
You have a problem, I can help
Buy it and be yourself
Cos you know, that's the look of today
So many trends just fade away
Before you can wear it, it's a passé
But you know, that's the look of today
You are so stylish, you are so vain
Sometimes I think you have no brain
But you know, that's the look of today
******************************************************************
Push The Limits
Basic instincts, social life
Paradoxes side by side.
Don't submit to stupid rules
Be yourself and not a fool.
Don't accept average habits
Open your heart and push the limits.
Open your heart and push the limits
Open your heart and push the limits
******************************************************************
Mea Culpa ( Musik & Text: Michael Cretu )
Kyrie eleison
Christe eleison
Je ne dors plus (The time has come)
Je te desire (The time has come)
Prends-moi, je suis a toi
Mea culpa
Je veux aller au bout des mes fantasmes
Je sais que c'est interdit
Je suis folle, je m'abandonne
Mea culpa
Kyrie eleison
Christe eleison
Je suis la, et ailleurs
Je n'ai plus rien
Je deviens folle, je m'abandonne
Mea culpa
Je ne dors plus
Je te desire
Prends-moi, je suis a toi...
Kyrie eleison

Callas Went Away
Callas went away but her voice forever stay
Callas went away, she went away
God bless you
Ah! Je relis sans cesse! Je devrais les detruires!
Ces lettres, ces lettres! Ces lettres, ces lettres!

Why! ( Musik & Text: Michael Cretu )
I was childish and unfair to you, my only friend
I regret, but now it's too late
I can't show you anymore, the things I've learned from you
Cause life just took you away
I'm asking why
I'm asking why
Nobody gives an answer
I'm just asking why
But someday, we'll meet again
And I'll ask you...
I'll ask you why, why it has to be like this
I'm asking you why, please give me an answer
Many years of stupid fights til we accept to see
How it was and would always be
Why it has to be like this, why we don't realize
Why we're too blind to see the one who's always on our side
I'm asking why
I'm asking why
Nobody gives an answer
I'm just asking why
Just tell me why, why it has to be like this
That the good ones disappear
I'm asking you why
I'm asking why
I'm asking why
Nobody gives an answer
I'm just asking why
I'm asking why

Silence Must Be Heard ( Musik & Text: Michael Cretu )
Look into the others' eyes, many frustrations
Read between the lines, no words, just vibrations
Don't ignore hidden desires
Pay attention, you're playing with fire
Silence must be heard, noise should be observed
The time has come to learn that silence...silence must be heard
Or diamonds will burn, friendly cards will turn
Cause silence has the right to be heard
People talk too much for what they have to say
Words without a meaning, they are fading away
Silence must be heard, noise should be observed
The time has come to learn, that silence...silence must be heard
Or diamonds will burn, friendly cards will turn
Cause silence has the right to be heard.
Silence must be heard...
Silence must be heard, noise should be observed (etc.)

Some day you came, and I knew you were the one
You were the rain, you were the sun
But I needed both cause I needed you
You were the one I was dreaming of all my life
When it is dark you are my light
But don't forget who's always our guide...
It is the child in us.

The Rivers Of Belief ( Musik & Text: Michael
Cretu )
Take me back to the rivers of belief
Take me back to the rivers of belief, my friend
I look inside my heart, I look inside my soul
I promise you I will return
And when the Lamb opened the seventh seal, silence covered the sky
Take me back to the rivers of belief
Take me back to the rivers of belief, my friend
I look inside my heart, I look inside my soul
I'm reaching out for you, let's hope one day
We'll rest in peace on my rivers of belief
*****************************************************************
Return To Innocence ( Musik & Text: Michael Cretu )
Love - Devotion
Feeling - Emotion
Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart, my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence.
(The return to innocence)
And if you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself, don't hide
Just believe in destiny.
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up, and use the chance
To return to innocence.
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence.
(That's the return to innocence)

Turn Around [Northern Lights Club Mix] ( Musik & Text:
Michael Cretu )
Good evening
This is the Voice of Enigma
Feel your body
Start to move slowly
Let the rhythm be your guiding light
Let the rhythm be your guiding light
(Turn, turn around)
(Turn, turn around)
(Turn, turn around)
Feel your body
Start to move slowly
Start to move slowly, very slowly
The Screen Behind The Mirror, Voice and the Snake
Principles of Lust, The Eyes of Truth
T.N.T. for the Brain
Turn around and I will show you something
Turn around and you will see
Life is like a roundabout, a kind of LSD
Turn around, have faith in all the changes
Turn around and you will feel
No more age of loneliness, you are a part of me
Turn around and I will show you something
Turn around and you will see
Life is like a roundabout, a kind of LSD
Turn around, have faith in all the changes
Turn around and you will feel
No more age of loneliness, you are a part of me
Let the rhythm be your guiding light
Let the rhythm be your guiding light
Let the rhythm be your guiding light
Let the rhythm be your guiding light
...be your guiding light

The Dream Of The Dolphin ( Musik & Text: Michael Cretu

In every color there's the light
In every stone sleeps a crystal
Remember the Shaman when he used to say:
"Man is the dream of the dolphin."

Age Of Loneliness (Carly's Song) Musik und Text:
Michael Cretu )
Tosonguyn oroygoor toosrood
Carly, don't be sad
Life is crazy, life is mad
Don't be afraid
Carly, don't be sad
That's your destiny, the only chance
Take it, take it in your hands
Tosonguyn oroygoor toosrood
Carly, don't be sad
Life is crazy, life is mad
Tosonguyn oroygoor toosrood

T.N.T. For The Brain
Smell your skin, feel your breath
You on my side, I couldn't resist
I hope I'll understand some day
What's the meaning of this crazy game?
It is real and pure...
T.N.T. for the brain
If there's no pain, rules are still the same
I'm with you, just lead me, I'm ready to play
T.N.T. for the brain
Don't be scared and have no fear
I will show you what it means
If there's no pain, rules are still the same
I'm with you, just lead me, I'm ready to play
T.N.T. for the brain
Don't be scared, and have no fear
I will show you what it means
If there's no pain, rules are still the same
I'm with you, just lead me, I'm ready to play
T.N.T. for the brain
What you feel is insane
It is love and not a game
If there's no pain, rules are still the same
I'm with you, just lead me, I'm ready to play
T.N.T. for the brain
