Ans Herz Geh'n is Max Raabe’s stylish plea for real closeness. Instead of grand declarations, the singer asks for something simple yet powerful: Come a little closer, hold me, let’s melt the chill away. He admits his own pain, does an emotional “inventory” of his happiness, and discovers that what truly matters is mutual acceptance. When you let me be myself and I let you be you, he sings, everything else fades into the background.
The song celebrates a relationship built on unwavering trust and an affectionate understanding of each other’s quirks. From silly habits to heartfelt reconciliations, the couple promises never to leave the other hanging. Raabe wraps this message in a warm, retro-swing melody, making the listener feel both nostalgic and happily secure. In the end, it’s clear: if you go “ans Herz” — straight to the heart — the rest is irrelevant, and love feels like home.
