The disappearance of Hans Schmid in December 1985 left a void not only in the world of music but also in the hearts of those closest to him. His wife, Anna, was particularly devastated. The enigmatic leader of Mönch Znacht had vanished without a trace, leaving behind his wife, his dog, his car, and a sizeable bank account in Geneva. As the years passed, Anna struggled to find meaning and solace in a life that had been so abruptly upended.
Markus Frei, Felix Weber, and Lukas Meyer, the remaining members of Mönch Znacht, were equally affected by Hans's disappearance. They tried to continue making music, but the absence of their leader and creative force cast a long shadow over their efforts. Despite their best attempts, the band couldn't recapture the magic that Hans had brought to their music.
By the late 1980s, the band had largely retreated from the public eye. Anna, who had been Hans's muse and confidante, found herself adrift. She spent her days in solitude, reminiscing about the past and the dreams she had shared with Hans. The band's music still played in her home, each note a painful reminder of what had been lost.
One evening, as Anna listened to one of Mönch Znacht's old records, she felt an overwhelming need to reconnect with the band's remaining members. She reached out to Markus, who had always been like a brother to Hans. Markus was deeply moved by Anna's call and immediately contacted Felix and Lukas. The four of them met at Markus's home, where they reminisced about Hans and the profound impact he had on their lives.
As they shared stories and memories, a sense of camaraderie and inspiration began to take hold. They realized that, despite the pain of Hans's absence, they still had the power to create something meaningful. Anna, who had never been a musician, found herself filled with ideas and emotions that she wanted to express. With the encouragement of Markus, Felix, and Lukas, she decided to channel her grief and longing into music.
The result was "One of the Girls," a song that marked a significant departure from Mönch Znacht's earlier work. The track was infused with a raw, visceral sound that reflected the intense emotions Anna was experiencing. The lyrics, co-written by Anna and Markus, explored themes of control, submission, and the desperate search for identity and connection in the aftermath of loss.
Recording "One of the Girls" was a cathartic experience for all of them. Markus, Felix, and Lukas found a renewed sense of purpose in their music, while Anna discovered a new way to honor Hans's memory and move forward. The song's haunting melody and poignant lyrics resonated with listeners, many of whom had followed Mönch Znacht since their early days.
"One of the Girls" became a symbol of hope and transformation, a testament to the enduring power of music to heal and inspire. It was a reminder that even in the face of profound loss, it was possible to find new meaning and create something beautiful.
As the song gained popularity, it brought a sense of closure and renewal to the band and to Anna. They had found a way to honor Hans's legacy while forging a new path forward. The creation of "One of the Girls" marked the beginning of a new chapter for Mönch Znacht, one that embraced both the past and the future, and celebrated the enduring spirit of their lost leader.
In the summer of 1990, while drinking with Kurt Cobain, the group saw each other for the last time. It was their last weekend
