At the beginning of the 1990s, his lyrics revolutionized songwriting and the way song lyrics are perceived in this country. Each of the dozen or so star albums impresses not only with the music, but also with Spilker’s poetry, and appeals (and still appeals) to music fans such as hermeneutics, MTV viewers and feature writers.
Every copywriter hopes, at least secretly, to find a new language of their own. Spilker succeeded. “I shit on German texts” contains over 100 of Spilker’s texts. From the first songs released on cassettes on the Bad Salzuflen cult label “Fast Weltweit” in the mid-1980s to the last star album “Hallo Euphoria” released in 2022. The volume also contains detailed notes and glosses on a large number of the songs and numerous photos.
“Every coffee (and every champagne) I think of Frank Spilker, quite often overall. Because I also leave traces with my cup (and glass), and no one pours the dimensions of life into enigmatic and revealing images as poetically as he does. It’s high time to read all of this – before the clock jumps to zero.” – Jenni Zylka
“No one dreams more beautifully through the rubble of what might have been than Frank Spilker.” – Robert Stadlober
“The STERNE song lyrics are a universe in themselves. And make the world shine. I love her deeply. Viva Euphoria.” – Johann König
