The story of Special D
Why we feature this artist
Come with Me at the point of maximum lift
Special D.'s Come with Me puts a familiar Nena-associated melodic idea into an emphatic electronic setting. The early breakthrough established Dennis Horstmann's recording name through speed, clarity and an unusually direct route into the refrain.
The breakthrough and the British release
Horstmann's original artist representation documented the song's 2003 release campaign and its connection to Nur geträumt. The later British single reached number six in April 2004 through All Around the World. Those stages belong to the same developing release story, before the Reckless album gathered the early material together.
The tune has to survive the pressure
A fast, forceful arrangement can make a melody disappear into its own impact. Come with Me keeps the main figure easy to recognise, allowing the instrumental energy to increase without losing the song's outline. That clarity is a practical part of the production: the listener knows what is returning even before the full refrain arrives. The record's pleasure is in making that expected return feel large, with anticipation organised almost as tightly as the beat.
