United States of America - Voices

Winner of the week: 🥇8

The United States of America is a democratic, federal republic in North America and, with some islands, in Oceania. It consists of 50 states, the capital Washington, D.C., which is its own federal district, as well as five major territories and nine island territories.

The 48 contiguous states, the so-called Lower 48, together with Alaska, from which they are separated by Canadian territory, form the Continental United States. The state of Hawaii and some smaller outlying areas are located in the Pacific and Caribbean. The country has a very high geographical and climatic diversity with a large variety of animal and plant species.

The United States of America is the third largest country in the world both in terms of area and population. Its area of ​​9.83 million square kilometers is exceeded only by Russia and Canada and its population of more than 334 million inhabitants is exceeded only by India and China. The most populous city in the USA is New York City, a global metropolis and one of the most important cultural, media, economic, trade and financial centers in the world. Important metropolitan areas are Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Philadelphia, Washington, Miami, Atlanta, Boston and San Francisco, each with over 5 million inhabitants. The degree of urbanization is 83 percent. A well-known national myth is that the United States is one of the most multicultural countries in the world; However, empirical studies show that the United States performs only averagely in global comparisons of ethnic and cultural diversity.

On July 4, 1776, delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence of the United States and thus the founding of the USA. The American War of Independence, which ended with the recognition of independence in the Peace of Paris (1783), was the first successful war of independence against a European colonial power. The current constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787. 27 additional articles were added. The first ten amendments, collectively called the Bill of Rights, were ratified in 1791 and guarantee a variety of unalienable rights.

Driven by the doctrine of Manifest Destiny, the United States expanded its territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific throughout the 19th century. This included the violent expulsion of indigenous Indian tribes, the acquisition of new territories, etc. in the Mexican-American War and the founding of new states. The American Civil War led to the end of slavery in the United States in 1865 and to the fact that it finally embarked on the path to becoming an industrial state. By the end of the 19th century, the United States was the preeminent power in the Americas, and its economy had become the largest of the time.

Jamaica is an island nation in the Caribbean. The country is a former British colony that gained independence in 1962 and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. The capital, Kingston, is also the largest city in the country. The majority of the approximately three million inhabitants are descended from African slaves and are Christian.

The musical styles ska and reggae emerged on the island. Furthermore, the Rastafarian faith has its origins in Jamaica.

Россия (Rossiya) - Мы на пути (My Na Puti)

Winner of the week: 🥇13

Russia is a federal state in Eastern Europe and Northern Asia, with the exclave of Kaliningrad in Central Europe. In terms of area, Russia is the largest country in the world at around 17 million square kilometers and covers around a ninth of the earth's land mass. With 144.5 million inhabitants (2019), it is the ninth most populous country and is also one of the least populated.

The European part of the national territory is significantly more densely populated than the Asian part, which is over three times as large: around 77% of the population (110 million inhabitants) lives west of the Urals. The capital Moscow is one of the largest cities and metropolitan regions in the world. The second most important center is Saint Petersburg, which was the capital from 1712 to 1918 and is now primarily an important cultural center. The next largest cities with millions of inhabitants are Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Kazan and Nizhny Novgorod. In total, there are 15 megacities and almost 70 agglomerations with over 500,000 inhabitants in Russia.

The federal structure of Russia consists of eight federal districts and 83 federal subjects. Russia is a multi-ethnic country with over 100 ethnic groups, with ethnic Russians making up almost 80% of the population. Russia is now an emerging country in the upper middle income sector. After recovering from the post-communist transformation crisis of the 1990s, the country became what is now the eleventh largest economy in the world and fourth largest in terms of purchasing power parity, just ahead of Germany. Its raw material reserves are probably the largest in the world at around 20 to 30%, with significant deposits of primary energy sources - especially natural gas. Russia has been subject to a steady decline in economic, demographic and military performance since the mid-1980s, when it was still part of the Soviet Union. According to the SIPRI Institute, it has the largest number of nuclear warheads of any country at 4,489, of which only 1,674 are ready for use while the rest are in storage.

Russia has been a permanent member of the UN Security Council since 1946 and is also a member of the WTO, OSCE, APEC and the SCO, as well as a leading member of the regional organizations CIS, CSTO and EAEU.

The Russian Federation is the “continuor state” of the Soviet Union in international organizations. The Soviet federal state was preceded by the Russian Empire, the Tsardom of Russia and originally the Grand Duchy of Moscow, a sub-principality of the former East Slavic Empire of Kievan Rus. The Cold War ended around 1990, and Russia became a little more democratic and moved slightly closer to the West. The constitution at the time envisaged a semi-presidential democracy for Russia, but according to democracy indices, the constitutional reality today corresponds to that of an autocracy, or a “super-presidential rule” or post-democracy. Corruption and human rights violations are widespread.

Russia's share of global gross domestic product has fallen from 4 to 2.85% (2022) since the sanctions began in 2014 as a result of the annexation of Crimea and intensified with the attack on Ukraine in 2022. Especially since the attack on the neighboring country, economic and political relations with the West have been very strained.

Russia is predominantly viewed as an autocracy. In political science and Eastern European studies there is a debate as to whether it is now an increasingly totalitarian dictatorship or whether it is already a fascist regime due to domestic political tightening and the attack on Ukraine (fascism discussion).

Russia - My Na Puti

Russia 🥇 - My Na Puti

Somewhere cross the world
People free and brave
Anything they want they take
It's a land of plenty
Enough for everyone
Except for those with none

Don't worry darling 
Little one dry your tears
It's somewhere far from here

Got tiny little hearts
To hear the way they live
So little love left to give
And if they got no house
They live on the street
Or maybe in a car's backseat

But don't worry darling
Little one dry your tears
It's somewhere far from here

Late at night they sing their songs
With all the grace of Babylon

My beautiful child
May you never see
What's become of their dream
Soon the day will be dawning
We'll wake and rise my darling
While somewhere night has fallen 
Somewhere far from here

But don't worry darling
Little one dry your tears
It's somewhere far from here

Somewhere Far From Here

中國 (Zhōngguó) - 在路上 (Zài Lùshàng)

Winner of the week: 🥇15

The People's Republic of China is a state in East Asia. With more than 1.4 billion inhabitants (2020), China is the second most populous country in the world after India and the third largest country in terms of total area. According to its socialist constitution, the People's Republic of China is "under the democratic dictatorship of the people", but has been from the beginning Governed throughout by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in an authoritarian to totalitarian manner. To this day she is accused of serious human rights violations.

Since 2016, the World Bank has classified the country as one of the states with an income level in the upper middle range. On average, China's economic power grew by 8.9% annually from 2000 to 2019. In addition to the doubling of China's share of world trade, the gross domestic product increased sixfold during this time, so that by the end of that period China had grown into the second largest economy in the world. However, according to observers, since the "Outstanding Leader" Xi Jinping came to power in 2012, the People's Republic has again taken steps backwards in social and economic freedom and has become increasingly ideologically and internationally aggressive.

The People's Republic of China is the world's largest exporter, the second largest importer, the country with the largest industrial production, the second highest spending on research and development, the second largest total national wealth, the largest standing army and the second largest defense budget and, depending on the source, is considered an emerging or already established country Superpower of the 21st century alongside the United States.

The People's Republic of China is one of the official nuclear powers and, as one of the five official victors of the Second World War, is a permanent member of the World Security Council and a member of the World Trade Organization, World Bank, APEC, BRICS, UNESCO, Interpol and G20, among others.

Türkmenistan Respublikasy - Biz Öňe Gideris

Turkmenistan is a state in Central Asia. Turkmenistan lies on the Caspian Sea and borders Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and Iran. At 488,100 km², the landlocked country is about the same size as Spain, its landscape is primarily characterized by the Karakum Desert and it has the fourth largest natural gas reserves in the world.

According to the census at the end of 2022, the sparsely populated state had 7,057,841 inhabitants, the majority of whom were Muslim Turkmen. The capital and largest city in the country with around one million inhabitants is Ashgabat. Other important cities are Türkmenabat, Daşoguz and Mary.

In 1991 the country declared its independence from the Soviet Union. In the following years, the first President Saparmurat Niyazov, who had previously ruled the then Soviet Republic since 1985, established a totalitarian system that still exists today. Turkmenistan is therefore considered one of the most restrictive, internationally recognized states today. The human rights situation is extremely critical, for example freedom of expression is severely restricted. In various democracy scales, the state has consistently occupied one of the last places since the beginning of the measurements until today.

The economy relies heavily on natural gas, which accounts for a majority of gross domestic product and exports. Despite the resources, the domestic economy remains constrained by government control and limited foreign investment. Socially, Turkmenistan has made progress in living conditions but faces challenges such as human rights violations and unequal distribution of economic benefits. Internationally, it pursues a policy of neutrality and maintains close economic relations with China.

Қазақстан Республикасы (Qazaqstan Respublikasy) - Біз Бірге (Biz Birge)

Winner of the week: 🥇21, 🥇23

Kazakhstan is a country in Central Asia and Eastern Europe. The border with Russia is the country's only northern border and is over 7,600 kilometers long. To the south, Kazakhstan borders Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, and to the southeast, over a length of almost 1,800 kilometers, it borders the People's Republic of China.[5] Kazakhstan's total land border is 13,200 km. With a land area of ​​more than 2.7 million km², Kazakhstan is the largest landlocked country and the ninth largest in the world. The country's landscape is primarily characterized by the Kazakh steppe and it has extensive oil resources.

Kazakhstan has a population of approximately 20 million, the majority of whom are Muslim Kazakhs. The capital is Astana, with 1.1 million inhabitants and an area of ​​722 square kilometers. The most populous city is Almaty, with 1.9 million inhabitants and an area of ​​682 square kilometers. Other important cities in the country are Shymkent and Qaraghandy, both with a population of one million.

Even in ancient times, various empires existed in the territory of present-day Kazakhstan. The western part of the First Turkic Khanate emerged between the 6th and 8th centuries. In the 13th century, the Mongols under Genghis Khan invaded. After the conquest by the Uzbek Timur in the 15th century, the Kazakhs were able to separate from the Uzbek Khanate and establish the Kazakh Khanate under a native Genghis Khanid dynasty. This allowed the Kazakhs to resist the introduction of Islam and remain connected to their traditional traditions. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Dzungarian Khanate expanded until the Kazakhs submitted to the Russian Tsar. In 1925, the Kazakh Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was founded, which from 1936 onwards formed a union republic within the Soviet Union as the Kazakh SSR.

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the country declared its independence as the Republic of Kazakhstan on December 16, 1991. Kazakhstan is a full member of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The presidential republic was ruled by Nursultan Nazarbayev from 1991 to 2019. Kazakh, a Turkic language, and Russian, a Slavic language, were declared official languages ​​upon independence, and the former capital, Alma-Ata, was renamed Almaty. In 1997, the seat of government and parliament was relocated to Akmola. The city was proclaimed the official capital and renamed Astana ("capital") one year later; this name was changed to Nur-Sultan in 2019 and back to Astana on September 17, 2022.

Kazakhstan is governed by an authoritarian regime, and corruption is widespread. The human rights situation is considered critical; for example, freedom of expression is severely restricted. In 2022, major anti-government protests broke out for the first time and were violently suppressed. Since then, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has embarked on a cautious reform program aimed at increasing pluralism and bringing the country closer to Western countries.

Hello everyone,

Many of you probably know this feeling. You start making music and completely lose track of time. The hours fly by, and suddenly it's late in the evening or even nighttime. I wanted to capture this theme in a lighthearted and humorous way.

I'm really happy that I was able to produce this song together with Mike Fox. Mike liked my idea for the arrangement and lyrics right away, and he was immediately on board. How much we appreciate each other can definitely be heard in the lyrics.

For this song, we were also able to bring in two guest singers—but just listen for yourselves! What they sing is probably something everyone in a relationship has heard at some point – or am I wrong?

Mike and I certainly hear it very, very often! 😆

------------------------------------------------

"We Should Be Asleep By Now"

Axel walks in, right on time,
Says “let’s rehearse” – I pour some wine.
He’s got a plan, I improvise,
But rock ain't played by suits and ties!

Mike plugs in, makes feedback scream,
Calls it “tone,” I call it a meme.
He swears his solos shake the land,
But his hands shake more—he can’t withstand!

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

You press one key, a full band plays,
No fight, no sweat—just modern ways!
I bend my strings, I break my bones,
You sip green tea and check your phone!

Oh please, Rockstar, not so loud,
Last night you snored and shook the crowd!
You call my sound too clean, too bright,
But at least my back don’t ache at night!

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

My riffs still shake my hometowns sky!

My chords still make the neighbors cry!

Six strings, raw soul, full of might!

But my keys sound’s programmed right! (Here we go)

We should be asleep by now...

Come on, Mike, let's listen to the backing singers.

You should be asleep by now!

Oh Axel, put on your glasses, these are our wives.

You should be asleep by now! 
You should be asleep by now!

Alright, Axel, your keys ain’t bad…

And Mike, your solos (still) drive ‘em mad!

We battle, we clash, we push the fight,
But side by side, we light the night! 

We should be asleep by now,
But here we are, we rock somehow!
One more song, then one more beer,
Proud and loud we still are here!

République Française - Nou Sommes En Route

Winner of the month: 🏆Jun'25
Winner of the week: 🥇38

France is a democratic, intercontinental unitary state in Western Europe with overseas territories. Its territory is located on all continents except Asia.

Metropolitan France, i.e. the European part of the national territory, extends from the Mediterranean to the English Channel and the North Sea and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. Its mainland is called a hexagon because of its shape. France is the largest country in terms of area and the second largest country in terms of population (behind Germany) in the European Union. It comprises the third largest territory in Europe (after Russia and Ukraine). Paris is the capital and, as an agglomeration with the municipal association Métropole du Grand Paris and the surrounding areas of the Île-de-France region, the largest metropolitan area in the country, ahead of Lyon, Marseille-Aix-en-Provence, Lille and Toulouse.

Emerging from the western part of the Frankish Empire, France expanded its cultural and military influence in Europe during the Middle Ages, mostly in rivalry with the Kingdom of England and the Holy Roman Empire, until France finally achieved a European leadership role in the 17th and 18th centuries held supremacy.

The political and cultural impact was significant: the court of Louis Development towards democracy interrupted by setbacks.

France twice built a colonial empire overseas. The first included, among other things: large parts of North America and was largely lost in the Seven Years' War in the mid-18th century; the second, centered in Africa, was the second largest in the world in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In the 21st century, France and Germany are seen as the driving force of European integration.

The French Republic is declared in its constitution to be indivisible, secular, democratic and social. Its principle is: “Government of the people, by the people and for the people.” The United Nations Development Program ranks France among the countries with very high levels of human development. In terms of nominal gross domestic product, it is the seventh largest economy in the world. The standard of living, level of education and life expectancy are considered high. As the most visited country in the world, France receives around 83 million foreign tourists per year.

The French armed forces are among the seven strongest in the world and were the third strongest in NATO in 2023, and the fifth strongest in 2024 after the USA, Great Britain, Turkey and Italy. The country is the only nuclear power in the European Union, one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and in 2010 had the third highest number of nuclear weapons in the world. It is a founding member of the European Union and the United Nations, a member of the Francophonie, the G7, the G20 , NATO, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Latin Union.

Thank you so much for listening :)

Norwegian Lyrics:

1
Æ lage mange sanga for å uttrykke mæ sjøl
Og av og til e tekstan ganske mørk
Men når æ tenke på
De gode folkan i mitt liv
Da lage æ teksta med et smil...

2
Noen ganga føles livet vanskelig og tøft
Og probleman dukke opp i kø
Men når æ tenke på
De gode folkan i mitt liv
Blir tåran erstatta med et smil..

Chorus:
Selv om det regne og bilen går i stå
Vil det alltid finnes grunna til å le
Når æ tenke på
De gode folkan i mitt liv
Kan æ møte probleman med et smil!

3
På en regnfull dag skal æ minne mæ sjøl på
At æ e ganske heldig uansett
For når æ tenke på
De gode folkan i mitt liv
Har æ all grunn til å leve med et smil..

Chorus x 2
Selv om det regne og bilen går i stå
Vil det alltid finnes grunna til å le
Når æ tenke på de gode folkan i mitt liv
Kan æ møte probleman med et smil! :)

De Gode Folkan I Mitt Liv (Norwegian version of The Good People In My Life)

I was thinking (3)

Even as a small child I wanted to learn a musical instrument...

...since there was a music school in our small town where I grew up, but it was limited to the activities of the local musicians' band, the choice was rather limited... because piano, guitar or saxophone were not offered and that's why I decided me for the trumpet, which was not used for cast-technical reasons, so the FLÜGELHORN became my instrument...
In my youth I turned my back on music and was active in sports towards the end of my teenage years.
