Tom Stern reinterprets Freddy Quinn classic ‘Abschied vom Meer’

Musician Tom Stern is releasing a new version of the classic song ‘Abschied vom Meer’ (Farewell to the Sea). Originally made famous by Freddy Quinn in 1956, the song is being reinterpreted 70 years later for a 2026 release.

Stern’s rendition is described as a respectful homage to the original, focusing on the timeless themes of a sailor bidding farewell to a life at sea. The project aims to capture the emotional imagery of the open ocean, wind, and distant harbors that have defined the song for decades.
