On days like today, we still have forever. Wünsch ich mir Unendlichkeit." (engl.: On days like today, you wish for eternity. An Tagen wie diesen haben wir noch ewig Zeit. Now follows the first chorus, sung by all members of the band: „An Tagen wie diesen wünscht man sich Unendlichkeit. “ (engl: along the alleys to the Rhine terraces, crossing the bridges to where the music plays). Then they are off to the event venue, which is located in Düsseldorf because according to the lyrics, they move „entlang der Gassen, zu den Rheinterrassen über die Brücken, bis hin zu der Musik. The lyrics describe the joyful anticipation and the meeting with a friend or an acquaintance at a designated meeting-point. The first part of the song consists of verse #1 and #2. E-bass and the second E-guitar, performed by Andreas Meurer and Michael Breitkopf respectively, start playing from the first chorus on. In the second verse, the drums kick in, played by Stephen George Ritchie. Then Campino starts to sing the first verse. A guitar riff in D Major, played by Andreas von Holst, starts the song. The song is structured in the following parts: Intro, first and second verse, first chorus, third verse, second and third chorus which then repeats and fades out. The lyrics describe a collective feeling of happiness when celebrating with a large group of people to music. Under the new title "Tage wie diese" this song was recorded as the first one for the album which should be released to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the band. It took the help of Birgit Minichmayr in the summer of 2011 to get things going again. But the band was not convinced at first - neither did the tune catch their ears nor could Campino come up with suitable lyrics to it. He had already composed a first draft of the song with the title "Kreise drehen" (engl.: Moving in circles) in 2010 and recorded it in his own recording studio in his cellar. For this song, Andreas von Holst had been inspired by the field holler Black Betty, which he knew in the Ram Jam-Version from 1977.
