Lied für einen Freund - Maxi and Chris Garden

The mother and daughter duo Maxi & Chris Garden represented Germany during the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest with 'Lied für einen Freund' ('Song for a friend'). Like many of Germany's entries, the song was written and composed by Ralph Siegel and Bernd Meinunger, but this one is actually a rather baroque track musically speaking: lots of orchestral backing, piano riffs and, well, a disappointing lyric.

At the close of voting, 'Lied für einen Freund' finished 14th in a field of 21 competitors.

Found: Fun Records, Berlin, received January 28, 2010
