Synopsis

No songs have shaped German-language rock music as much as those of Rio Reiser's band Ton Steine Scherben and his later solo career. The fascination for his timeless lyrics and songs is unbroken, as evidenced by the ongoing reception in documentaries, podcasts and exhibitions. So it is hard to believe that there was no cross-career band with Reiser's texts - a gap that is now finally closed. "I want to be I" contains over 100 lyrics, both from his time with Ton Stones Shards and the solo years. The texts are commented by numerous musikalische companions: inside and well-known fans - by the sherb founding members Kai Sichtermann, Wolfgang Seidel and R. P. S. Lanrue to family members to artists such as Frank Spilker, Reinhard Mey, Thees Uhlmann, Schorsch Kamerun or Desiree Klauekens. The diverse notes complement the lyrics with appreciations, declarations of love, anecdotes, reflections and crazy stories. "I want to be" conveys a comprehensive picture of the work of the poet Reiser, but also deep insights into Rio Reiser as a human. Rio Reiser was hero and anti-hero, he was a giant and will remain so.
