Text (deutsch)

Ein trüber Sonntag
voll Regen und Depression
Am trüben Sonntag 
lebe ich nur von Illusion
die langsam verblassen,
denn der Regen wäscht dauernd
den Staub von den Gassen
und das Licht von den Mauern.

Ein trüber Sonntag
voll Frust und Lethargie
Ein trüber Sonntag
Verlust von Sympathie
für ´nen Kater der jammert
und ein Baby, das weint.
In den Pfützen gesammelt
sind die Regentropfen wieder vereint.

(SOLO)

Ein trüber Sonntag
voll Regen und Depression
An so ´nem trüben Sonntag 
kenn´ ich keine Konvention
Ich trink noch ´nen Whisky
und denke daran,
dass das Leben auch manchmal
viel schöner sein kann...

(SOLO)

English Translation (lyrics)

Muddy Sunday

A muddy sunday
full of rain and depression
At a muddy sunday
I live just for an illusion
that´s slow growing fade
like the rain washing out (deathless)
dirt out of the alley
and the light from the stones (brickwalls)

A muddy sunday
filled with frustration and lethargy
a muddy sunday 
lost of sympathy
for a tomcat that´s moaning
and a baby, that cries
pounded in paddles
that old raindrops unites (again)

A muddy sunday
full of rain and depression
on a rainy sunday
I´m objecting any convention
I drink some more Whiskey
thinking about
that life sometimes 
might be much nicer than now

Trüber Sonntag

My name is Hans Henning Thomas. I think, I´m more a soundengineer than a songwriter and more a songwriter than really a singer/musician. I started to play guitar in the age of sixteen and had never learned an instrument before. So my first musical influences have been by songwriters, because I firstly payed most of my attention to the lyrics. My musical understanding developed at this time, moving away from home and hanging around with some freaks. At this time I did my first steps by grounding a band. But we were influenced more by the era of the Doors, Rory Gallagher, Neil Young, Jimmy Hendrix,  Pink Floyd or the first Deep Purple cast - while the actual successful music at this time sadly was New German Wave and the like.

Later, after becoming an firstly unemployed physics, I followed my intention and turned my passion to trade, becoming a sound engineer. After all I got a well paid job in an public supported analog sound studio for eight years, recording and teaching some people in sound engineering. Some of my songs, published here, are a result from this era.

Now I´m working again as a physics / engineer, and music became my fervour again. In my life I lived in many different townes, in east and west - Düsseldorf, Braunschweig, Paderborn, Berlin, (1/2 year Tropea, Calabria, Italy), Hagen Westf, Siegburg, Dresden (Neustadt) and now I turned to Rahden, Westf., again, where I live deep in the country in an integral nature reserve. The experiences, I got and the people I met, might be an insperation for my philosophy and my music.

Thanks to the new computer technologies, I was able to build myself a modern home recording studio again, to produce my own and my friends music in a good quality.

My intention for the next time is, to listen to the theme and sound of the nature and turn it into music. The Intro of my song "Wild Ducks Flying" ("Flieg mit dem Wind") is a good example for this project. It came up to me, when I recorded some wild ducks trough my open window, flying over my house. I loaded the samples into a software synthesizer and started to made music to it, leaning on the style of some early Pink Floyd projects. This song should be regarded to migrant birds in analogy to the human society, nowadays.

I plan to go on this way in my next holiday, at least for a month, recording and using the sounds of a forest at night and the like. 

Now I hope you enjoy some of my songs ;-)
