Lyrics: Excerpt from ‘Suzie Bitner Was Afraid of the Drain’ by Barbara Vance.

When something unfortunate happens to us, we would always tend to blame it on fate and magnify our unfortunate experiences. The lyrics of this song advises us to be optimistic. We should treasure the good things that happens to us, even as simple as appreciating the 'gentle dew' left by the rain. The two contrasting emotions are depicted with different tonality of the same melody, indicating that everything could be viewed in different angles, and by doing so, we could be optimistic or pessimistic.

Small-scale art music by Georg Kreisler (lyrics and music): Kreisler, who died in 2011, wrote the 'Untergangssextet' [Sextet of Doom] shortly before his death. He finished it save for the last bars; his fellow countryman Gerhard Wimberger added the ending (23 bars) in this version. Inspired by the pianist Sherri Jones, Kreisler, as in 'Fünf Lieder für Barbara', seized on ideas of his early piano compositions from the 1940s and 1950s. Extract from the lyrics: When the moon sets, everything is over. Then come the shadows, the weakened squadrons, the anointed sanctimonious old windbags with wind music, wind music, wind music and shouting […] The Jews take flight, the Christians take the Pope, Arabians take Mohammed. We buy and win and we take…until the end. Damn it! This is hard.
