Time goes flying and we can not really believe that are already ten years since we lost our master Singer Rolf Köhler. The truth is we feel so sad as the first day, to recall all those days when we suddenly got the late new, a tragedy that no one of us could expect and let us totally devastated.
We had so many plans, we were building many dreams, our favorite trio was working in the new second album and the so waited production in collaboration with the singer Mark Ashley was also in progress, there were so many stuff to do. I remember the words of Detlef, he said, this time they will make a big tour for promote the new album, oh yeah, I could imagine that and was so exciting, Systems In Blue finally would start to show themselves as they deserve. About 15 days before the tragedy, Rolf gave a last concert in Burow, performing a new song of this album. Was a promise of success, maybe there was a chance this time, but fatality crossed us and all became just broken dreams.
By many time we lived in a big uncertainly, what to do?, when the leader and the motor of our projects has gone. Rolf was the boss and he let us all alone, I felt orphan once again. My unreleased fansite about him was forced to become a tribute site, my promo-picture-editions became memorials, my hopes became grief. There were a lot of people with a broken heart. Michael and Detlef had the hard mission to keep what was left, to continue despite the pain, and together some of us, we denied to let the last Rolf’s project die, "good music never dies", Rolf said it once and we have it even more clear when we recall his words in a german song, "Träume sterben nie", our dreams will never die.
Now ten years since then, a new album of Systems In Blue was released, yeah they got it, it cost so much and they had all against, nobody can say that was easy, but in your name dear Rolf, we had to let that pain and tears in the way. And we never forget you, your memory makes us stronger, you came to this world for inspire thousands of people around the world and this legacy will survive.
Ten years without Rolf’s voice, but we are still listening him, ten years without his company, but he is still with us, everytime we remember his name he is alive again.
