Am I a fool, or just some kind of cool,
this game of love you can just win or loose.
I know, feelings come and go. 
Sometimes in life you will have to choose.

The dark, all around me now, 
the light, takes it's final bow. 
The night, is dark before sunrise, 
The day, I'll open my eyes (again)

Alone, when I'm comming home.
Sometimes I feel like I'm getting old.
Someday, he will come my way. 
like in a fairytale that I have been told.

Monday Morning Blues
=================
Verse I:
The weekend is over
I got the Monday morning blues
It's time to go to work
But I don't wanna go...ey
I look in my closet
But I can't find nothing to wear
I climb back in bed
Because I just don't care....mmmm
Here come that alarm clock again
Man: Time to get up babe!
I just can't win
I gotta get dress
I can't be late
Because I really don't want no mess
ey no mess

Lead: 
Au, au, au I've got the Monday morning blues
Au, au, au I just wanna give it to you
Au, au, au I've got the Monday morning blues
Au, au, au but I still wanna give it to you

Chorus:
Au, au, au Monday morning blues
Au, au, au wanna give it to you
Au, au, au Monday morning blues
Au, au, au give it to you

Spoken:
Don't say anything about what I have on.
Man: Well, are you leaving now?
Are you talking now? Please, no talking. 
I feel like death and I haven't had my coffee either.

Verse II:
Arrive to work half dead 
Thinking of nothing but my bed
A cup of coffee or three
Maybe is what I need yeah
My boss is so happy
Because he finally closed the deal
Give me a raise
Maybe I can share your thrill.....ey
My co-workers are smiling
Because my boss just closed that deal
They're looking at me
Expect me to smile too
But I've got the Monday morning blues
ey so give me no mess 
ey no mess

(Repeat lead and chorus)

Spoken:
Boss: Miss NayJ, I'd like to thank you for the part you played in closing this deal.
So, do I get a raise? -  I didn't think so.
Boss: Miss NayJ, where are you going?
Back to my bed...

Fever - River Soul & Moon Dust ( Cover )

After continuing years of war in many parts of the world, millions of people are restless refugees now. 
Will they ever have an opportunity to return to their native homes? This topic is bothering since years ... 
Welcoming refugees as friends and giving them a hand is the order of every day now!
My music is an other way to highlight the need for help! 
This tune is from 2011 ... 

Homeward

A warm floating feeling!

Lyrics:
Intro
Lara
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not where I wanna be
V1
I guess we are where we wanted to be
But sometimes just where we wanted to be is not just the place where we wanna be
I wanna be with you
Sometimes you're not where you want to be, where you want to be yeah
Sometimes we're just in our destiny, in our destiny, yeah
V2
Walking a dangerous line, in a world without love
Sometimes you don't want to be, alone in a crowd anymore
Walking a dangerous line, and you're paying the price
But you don't want to be alone in love anymore....anymore, anymore
Bridge
Sometimes love is worth the pain
Lead 1
Sometimes love is worth the pain
And I'm feeling it time and time again
Bridge
V3
I couldn't be bothered, staying in this place
I couldn't be bothered
I wanna head in your direction, I wanna give you my affection baby
I wanna head your way, I don't wanna be here any more
I only wanna stay with you

Why did I have to meet you?
Why did I have to fall in love with you?
Yeah, yeah.....................
Outro
My world is caving in
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
Nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all.....
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
Nothing at all......................................................
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
Nothing at all

Following my request for a vocalist, Chris gave it a try and he totally nailed it!!! Thank you very much, Chris!!!! :-))

Lyrics:

“Suicide City”

Can’t sleep tonight because the riots in the streets of Hamburg
Just another city, blow it up and head onto the night
Oh it’s such a pity and ain’t nothing going right here
You’d think our need to survive would finally start to kick back in

Suicide City (Suicide)
Suicide City (Suicide)
It’s a Suicide
It’s a Suicide
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City
It’s a Suicide (x4)

Has the whole world gone mad?
Don’t we realize the goodness we had?
We have means but still wanna bleed
Just a matter of time ‘til we see the bloody heads roll

It’s suicide!

I use to fear the monsters and beasts
I’d pray to the Lord my soul to keep
From the dangers on the outside
Now I what find the thing is to fear the rage inside

Suicide City (Suicide)
Suicide City (Suicide)
Suicide City (Suicide)
It’s a suicide
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City
Ain’t Nothing Pretty in Suicide City

Suicide
Suicide City (ain’t nothing pretty in suicide)

Can’t sleep because of the riots in Hamburg
When we blow it up we’re killin' ourselves
I think we’re gonna have remember
How to love again to survive suicide

Suicide City       (Feat.  Wild Christopher !)

My first collaboration with the very talented Yana Smutina. 

After listening to her music and reading the permanent collab-invitation on her page, I asked her if she would be interested to do a collab with me. She was :-) … a few weeks later *LOL*.

I thought, “Somebody Help Me” https://soundcloud.com/yana-smutina/somebody-help-me-music-and-words-yana-smutina would be great stuff to create a Rock ballad from.
Yana agreed and sent me the track stems after recording the whole thing again in a local studio. So I got voice and acoustic guitar separated for mixing and was able to add my spices to it. 

It was a pleasure to work with her. She always gave me great constructive feedback - what was great, what wasn’t and what has to be changed or replaced. The cello for in- and outro was her idea. I had a piano in my first song sketch, but now I think, the cello fits way better instead  😊 . To cut the song in two pieces and put a heavy solo passage into the gap was Yana’s idea too. She asked me to paint a musically picture of hell - “…a musical picture of hell with "Thunder and lightning”...”. I tried to do my best then – if I may mention that devil’s fart at the end of the solo? *ROFL*.

Please check out Yana’s stuff here: https://soundcloud.com/yana-smutina 
  
Thank you for working with me Yana. Big hug!!!! 
 
Volume to eleven and enjoy  our creation!!! 😊

Lyrics:

“Somebody Help Me”

I'm just walking in the circle of life
Nobody can see and nobody hear me here
I want to stop it all
I want to change it all

Somebody save me I need help
Somebody save me from this hell

I'm so poor and ugly but I've got a heart
But there's still no compation anywhere
I would like not to care
Pretend and just don't care

Somebody save me I need help
Somebody save me from this hell

I've found my gate in the green glass
I've found my way in the green...

Written by Yana Smutina

Somebody Help Me  -  Yana Smutina & Andreas Kloppenburg

Here comes a new collab with the exeptional talented Glen Granthem https://soundcloud.com/the-glen-granthem-band. He handed out a very nice track to us SC lead guitarists for adding our spices to it. I added my guitar to it then and send it back to Glen. He then replaced the originally intended acoustic guitar with an electric guitar and added some vocals to it. I like the outcome very much and hope you'll do too.
Thank you very very much, Glen!!! Hope we can do some more in the future ;-))

Blues Rocker in Bb - Glen Granthem & Andreas Kloppenburg

A few weeks ago I've downloaded an open collab called "Father's Day" whitch was initiated by Tom Adams https://soundcloud.com/user-342548892. Based on that I wanted to play a new "2 parts he/2 parts me-thing" then. Nothing wrong with this ;-)). Shortly after I began to jam a bit to Tom's track, Lawrence https://soundcloud.com/awrencearr wrote a message. He told me that he'd just recorded some vocals for that Adams track and invited me to play guitar on his version.
After giving a listen to it I happily agreed to do a 3 piece set with Tom and Lawrence ;-))). I really like what was coming out and hope you will do too. Thank's a lot Tom and Lawrence. Both are greats here on the cloud for sure!!!!

Promised Land - Tom Adams/Lawrence Farr/Andreas Kloppenburg

The opening song for Bob Dylan and the band's set at the November 9, 2012 concert at United Center, Chicago, Illinois. It has been variously misidentified hitherto. Bob is playing guitar. The slide guitar part is presumably  Donnie Herron on steel guitar. This excerpt from the concert might do well to be be combined with the minute or so of warming up that precedes it. Some of it anticipates this song. The performances is an Elmore James style electric blues instrumental (presumably in view of the Chicago venue). Although some speak of the performance as Sweet Home Chicago (attributed to Robert Johnson), the actual musical content is not in itself distinguishable as that. It does seem that it would have been possible to sing the lyrics to the song using that performance. But it would also have been possible to sing Dust My Broom or, for that matter, other songs by Elmore James. And the performance is almost identical instrumentally to a 1991 performance in Detroit by Dylan of Dust My Broom (so identified because the lyrics were sung) and because it had the Elmore James lick:http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/Dust+My+Broom/58n7S3?src=5 AND with the two combined: https://soundcloud.com/handydandy/chicago#play. Finally, the United Center performance included slide guitar in the manner of Elmore James. None of this rules out the possibility that the performers intended to allude to Sweet Home Chicago, especially in view of the similarities to recent performances by Buddy Guy and others. But we can't be sure. But it seems at least reasonable to assume that the Chicago venue prompted an electric blues type opening number.

Bob Dylan and band, Elmore James style blues instrumental—Nov. 9, 2012, United Center, Chicago

I'm a german guitarist who always wants to play better than he can *lol*. I love the sound of the guitar and I love guitars, their beauty and their smell. Never can get enough.
I wanted to make music since I was a little kid. I urgently wanted a guitar since the age of 10, I think. Unfortunately I got my first (classic) guitar not until the age of 18 because there was not enough money to buy one earlier. Well, since I've got my first guitar I nearly play every single day one of my darlings ;-).
Making my music public on the cloud is really a great thing for me. I love this community. Such fantastic musicians here...
I'm always interested in collaborating with talented musicians.
Thank's for visiting my page, hope you enjoy and don't forget: Music is everything!! Music is love!!! Without music, mankind would never exist anymore!!!!!!!!!

A NOTE TO ALL FOLLOWERS who only follow to get a refollow and then unfollow. Take a  warmhearted FUCK YOU!!! No like for a like, no refollow for a follow here.  I'll like what I like and I'll follow those who convinced me with their music!!!!

Cheers, Andreas
