On this day, 31 years ago, Nitzer Ebb released ‘Ascent’!

30th of March 2023, 00:00

On this day, 31 years ago (30 March 1992), Nitzer Ebb released the single ‘Ascent’. It was taken from their fourth studio album with the ironic tittle Ebbhead (1991), fifth if you like include the original self-released tape Basic Pain Procedure from 1983. ‘Ascent’ was officially released as cassette single, 10” vinyl single, and CD single with various tracks and remixes. Beside various mixes by Flood there was also ‘Anonymous Mix’ made which was actually done by Vince Clark of Yazoo. At that time, and besides the promo 12”, the only commercial release of this remix could be found only on the cassette single version.

Besides Flood, who also produced the previous two Nitzer Ebb albums, Depeche Mode’s Alan Wilder was brought in to co-produce the Ebbhead album, giving the album and it’s songs, a quite unique sound and atmosphere.

Ascent (Lyrics)

I first saw you
Without love and then you knew
Your fingers reached
I moved in the distance breached

Tell me what I'm doing here
Tell me what I'm doing here

To my surprise
I kissed you, you made me rise
Now by my side
I've missed you and let it slide

Tell me what I'm doing here
Tell me what I'm doing here

If all I ever wanted wasn't good for you
If the thing that I said, they just weren't true
Ascend, ascend my friend
I turned my head
And looked back, I had been led
When my heart jumped
We lost touch, our love had slumped

Tell me what I'm doing here
Tell me what I'm doing here

If all I ever wanted wasn't good for you
If the thing that I said, they just weren't true

Ascend, ascend my friend
I can see you looking down to keep away from me

But I'm stuck with this lack of ability
I can't refrain
From coming here
It causes pain
You're so sincere

Ascend, I must ascend
So now alone
I find out your heart is stone
A helping hand
There is none from where I stand

Tell me what I'm doing here
Tell me what I'm doing here

If all I ever wanted wasn't good for you
If the thing that I said, they just weren't true
Then don't restrain from telling me
That all this pain is good for me
I can see you looking down to keep away from me
But I'm stuck with this lack of ability
I can't restrain from coming here
It causes pain you're so sincere

Ascend
Ascend, I must ascend

When one is young, one does not think about the fact that one day everything will be over. And that is also beautiful and exciting, because as you get older, you look at the past differently.
