One marble café table, seven years, and a city that changes its rules while nobody at the table is looking.
Café Linden is two streets off the Ring. Herr Weiss comes in at eight-fifteen for black coffee and half a newspaper. Marta steals the sugar. Felix pays his bill in borrowed tunes. Clara leaves her gloves on the chair, and leaving them means she intends to come back.
Nobody in these songs is giving a history lesson. They are arguing about the bill, the chair, the weather and each other — until the same ordinary objects start meaning something else. A radio. A brush. A different newspaper by the door. A train at 11:40.
1937 is missing from this record on purpose.
The café is invented. The city is not.
