A nice Friday with unique Mary Roos

We wish you a very nice Friday with unique Mary Roos. You can find the german, english and french version of this wonderful song. Aufrecht geh'n ("Walk Tall") was the German entry in the 1984 Eurovision Song Contest, performed in German by Mary Roos. The song was composed by Michael Reinecke with lyrics by Michael Kunze, who previously had written the lyrics to Silver Convention's 1977 entry "Telegram". This was also Mary Roos' second Eurovision entry; she had represented Germany at the 1972 Contest with Nur die Liebe läßt uns leben", placing 3rd in a field of 18. "Aufrecht geh'n" was the fourteenth performance of the night. At the close of voting, it had received 34 points, placing it 13th in a field of 19.. The song is a power ballad, with Roos bidding a former lover goodbye at the end of a relationship. She tells herself to "walk tall" and tells him that she will not be waiting for him if he comes back – as she assumes he will. Roos also recorded the song in English and French, then entitled "I'll Walk Tall" and "Du blues et du bleu" respectively. In an interview, the singer told that shortly before the performance at the Eurovision Song Contest 1984, she received a phone call from a woman who told her that she was expecting a child by Mary Roos' then husband Werner Böhm. Thus, this song took on an unintentionally very personal and autobiographical note for the singer at the contest.
