What happens when all the suitcases arrive – except yours?

The baggage carousel turns.
A red suitcase. A blue one. Another one.
The people around you dwindle.
Ten are still waiting.
Five.
Three.
And eventually, you stand there and realize:
Yours is missing.
"Waiting for Goffer" turns one of the most disliked moments of travel into a song that is as humorous as it is surprisingly human.
Between the baggage carousel, the lost luggage counter, language problems, forms, toothbrush number two, and the suddenly existential importance of fresh underwear, the song tells of the everyday madness of flying.
And then something happens with the title.
Waiting for the suitcase eventually becomes waiting for Goffer.
Thus, the song bridges to the book of the same name, "Waiting for Goffer – A Journey freely based on Beckett, from Frankfurt to Thessaloniki" by Manfred Harlos.
A travel story about waiting, traveling, and those small catastrophes that often later become the best stories.
A song to smile about for anyone who has ever stood at the baggage carousel and slowly realized: Everyone has their suitcase now. Except me.
