    Bonjour Kurt,

    Je m’appelle Adélaïde. Je suis française avec des origines polonaises. J’écoutais la radio Nostalgie en France quand j’ai entendu votre chanson Captain of her heart et ça a fait un véritable glissade dans ma tête.

    J’aime beaucoup la profondeur de la chanson, le synthé, la guitare et la réalisation du clip. Je regrette d’être née en 1990 et non 1980 et de ne pas avoir connu votre chanson plus tôt. L’énergie de cette chanson, c’est l’énergie que je recherche actuellement pour ma créativité.

    J’ai appris que c’était peut-être un fantôme qui vous a inspiré à l’écrire. Je suis en contact avec l’astral et les fantômes cosmiques, c’est mon quotidien en ce moment.

    Je me berce actuellement avec Phil Collins, Robbie Williams, I follow rivers de Lykke Li, ou encore les rêves sont en nous de Pierre Rapsat et d’autres…

    Je vis en Ariège. Je pense qu’une programmation de concert pourrait se faire en Ariège. Ici la population est fan des années 80 jusqu’au bout de la nuit.

    J’espère avoir un jour le budget de m’acheter une guitare végane.

    Je n’aime pas prendre l’avion pour des raisons écologiques. Je préfère explorer le voyage astral.

    Etes-vous toujours à Hambourg ?

    Je vous souhaite une bonne continuation et une bonne santé.

    Mon e-mail au cas-où vous voudriez continuer la conversation : adelaide@riseup.net

    Je déteste le monde actuellement replié sur lui-même.

    Hi Kurt,

    Long story short, the first and only time I heard The Captain And Her Heart was over 30 years ago at my dentist office. I was around 10 years old but I have always remembered the piano melody from the chorus and it has been stuck in my head but I didn’t know any of the lyrics or the name of the song until today – finally I came across it and it is like nostalgia taking me back in time.

    I guess I just wanted to share the story and let you know I have been listening to the song over and over again today and it makes me feel happy!

    All the best to you!

    Hiya Kurt! I have to say, The Captain of her Heart was one of my fave songs of the 80’s, a true masterpiece! I still remember the first time I heard it….I was 10 years old in Calgary, Alberta Canada, in May or June of 1986. I was home sick from school, in the condo, and it was a really rainy, foggy day. Your song was playing on a local TV station that presented all its news on a text form. To this day, I still relate this song to that heavily rainy day, and it actually fits it perfectly lol….I can’t think of any better memory for it. 😎 It says something though when that song has such a huge impact on a 10 year old.

    Hi Kurt,

    Hello from Portland, Oregon. I was with friends last weekend in a remote cabin near Mount Adams in SW Washington, where we we listen to music we bring or via FM radio each time we go out there, (no cell or internet service) so we are truly unplugged and in the moment. “Captain of Her Heart” was played and we all remembered the song, how big it was for us when we were in middle school in the mid-80’s and collectively wondered what happened to Double. It was great to find your website and see what you have been up to…congrats on all the great material over the years! I was sad to learn of Felix’s passing…my condolences…his memory will forever live when listening to Double.

    A few questions: Do you know what synth(s) and drum machine was used on Captain of Her Heart? I’ve been trying to find a download of the song via Apple Music, etc., but can’t find it anywhere. I’m glad to pay for an MP3, AIFF file, etc….do you know of a link where I can go to get it? Are there any videos / interviews that depict the making of the song and / or that album?

    Many thanks for your time…I hope all is well your way!

    Hi Kurt…..have you heard Cherry Blossom Girl by Air?
    I heard it today and thought it sounded very familiar so tracked Captain down that I heard a great deal in the 80’s
    I would be intrigued to know your view.
    Best wishes

      Kurt says:

      Hi Pat. The only similarity that comes to my mind is that we produced songs in the 80s with a 70s vibe, while Air sound partially like 80s in 2004. Is this called timeless?

        Hi Kurt, Thank you so much for the reply….I found it ‘spooky’ as within 10 seconds I was trying to remember where I had heard it before. When I did the people I was with found it spooky also. I am not a musician with a musical ear so I guess people hear things differently but both great songs and ‘timeless’ is a good way to describe them.
        Wishing you well sir and thanks again.

    Today I heard The Captain of Her Heart, and was reminded how beautifully this song is composed and sung. What an awesome, heartfelt song. I Googled the video for it, and I am curious if one of the female models is actress Denise Richards…. is it? It doesn’t matter… the video is great too… something melancholy yet joyous and sexy. I hope to see this song performed live someday, if you ever perform it in Los Angeles.

    Kurt…. TCOHH … could be the finest song ever written and sung FACT. You have such a spectacular voice Kurt. I’ll never forget where I first heard it. It was 1986. I was 18 and just graduated High School. I bought he cassette at the THE WAREHOUSE record shop in Torrance CA … popped it in and drove my Fiat Sports Spide convertible all the way to Hollywood and back REPLAYING the song over and over and over and over again… it warms my heart every time I hear it to this day. It makes me think of my youth … the freedom and innocence and the unknown… thanks again for creating one of my ALL TIME favorites … a true masterpiece ! Please TOUR?!!! Most fondly, Mike Morgan

    Hi Kurt! There is a feeling that I can’t explain that the song Gliding leaves me with. It is simply wonderful, it touches my soul.
    City of Rain is a beautiful song, I really liked it, just like Man in Love

    I send you a cordial greeting, Iago, a 20-year-old from Rosario, Argentina, who since we were children together with my brother, we consumed his music.

      Your voice is one of the best, so smooth. TCOHH was a great song. You should try to tour in So. CA. Agua Caliente would be a great place for a concert. Pala casino as well. They have a nice outdoor concert venue, up against the mountains. Would be great to hear you sing live. 🙂

      Hello Mr Maloo, I was 8 years old when your title ‘Captain Of Her Heart’ was released in 1985 and even 37 years after its release I’m still a fan
      I would like to know if you are planning to release a new album this year and it is that I would like because I love your voice

    Hi Kurt!
    Someone recently pointed out to me a video of Double on which I was on. What a beautiful surprise that was, believe me I had never seen the whole video we shot in Paris, as I was traveling a lot then. Thank you for posting it on YouTube!! It’s great.
    Anna Mosca here, from Marylin Gauthier Agency, the 1st blonde in the video (waiting on a balcony – rather bored – then – finally – walking down the street).
    I hope this finds you well… that was so long ago, ahaha.
    Are you still living in Zurich?

    Hello Kurt – 31 years after the fact. For some reason, “The Captain of Her Heart,” popped into my head while I was playing my keyboards tonight. The first time I heard it was on the radio in Billings, Montana in the United States, and I was setting up with a band. I actually remembered who did the song, and it wasn’t hard to find it again after all this time. It still has that hook in it which just catches you, and the production on the song is great. I’m very glad to hear and see that you’re still at it. And I’m playing as well, albeit south of San Francisco. I hope that you’re well.

    Hallo Herr Maloo,
    das ist jetzt etwas kompliziert. Ich suche ein Lied von ihnen. Kann jetzt aber nicht sagen ob es unter Double oder von ihnen als Solo gesungen wurde. Es muss um Captain of her Heart rum gewesen sein. Aber auf den Alben ringsherum konnte ich es nicht finden. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit eine Liste sämtlicher Veröffentlichungen irgendwo zu finden? Leider kann ich nicht mehr ganz sagen was als gesungene Komponenten vorkommen. Aber nicht lachen jetzt. “…Looking for…” kam drinne vor und ein Instrumentales Fragment war öfters, naja, n stelle sich ein kurzes höheres hupen vor das mit einem “hallen” gespielt wurde. Genauer kann ich es leider nicht beschreiben….Bitte nicht lachen 😀

    Mr. Maloo, there is currently an open invitation for international acts to perform in the Kansas City Jazz District during a three-year rollout for a centennial celebration of the oldest jazzhaus still in full swing. Would you be interested in bringing your unique sound to KC in celebration of all that is Jazz?

    Hallo Mr. Maloo

    Bin dank dem dem heutigen Bericht im Tagi auf Ihre Seite gestossen. Klar war ich damals ein Fan vom Captain, wusste aber bisher nicht, dass Sie die Sache weiter gezogen haben.
    Die neueren Sachen die ich bis jetzt gehört habe (auf Spotify) finde ich grossartig.
    Manchmal ist der Tagi eben schon ein tolles Blatt. Freue mich riesig, dass ich wieder Musik von Ihnen hören kann und hoffe, dass Sie noch lange weiter machen.

    Alles Liebe und Gute für Ihre Zukunft – rock on –
    und herzliche Grüsse aus Uetikon am See
