I admire your approach to composition and your sensitive music-making.

Delightfully chilled groove and a strong message. Interesting that many of the countries doing best in the battle against coronavirus have female leaders - Germany, New Zealand, Finland, Taiwan, Iceland, Norway, Denmark... (source: Forbes.com)

I applied the mastering gizmo from soundcloud on the track to see how it changes things.

No Exit By The Bar

"Regarder passer les diligences" seul au studio

Again and again I have to painfully observe that women who want to live their own potentials, their autonomy, their creativity or other strengths, are discriminated against in a concealed or sometimes blatant way. In spite of the important feminist-emancipatory movements, especially in the last 50 years, in many areas of life the classical division of roles - men make the rational, women the emotional labor - still exists. Women who want to free themselves from these rigid role attributions are no longer burned at the stake, as they were in the Middle Age (and some women into the late 19th century!). However, they are often “removed” verbally or physically in other, more perfidious ways. 
This song is a blazing plea for a really profound change in social conditions, which not only offer a few exceptions, but basically women the possibility to find their own autonomous strength.     
And it is also a song for my wife, who is a very strong woman and who is repeatedly attacked for her courage, clarity, inventiveness and assertiveness. 
And it is my deep musical bow to Hypatia of Alexandria, Hildegard von Bingen, Émilie du Châtelet, Mary Wollstonecraft, Simone Weil, Harriet Taylor Mill, Hannah Arendt, Simone de Beauvoir, Donna Haraway, Judith Butler and other great thinkers for achieving the goal of "equality and dignity for all people".


Lyrics in English:

Strong Women

So often burned
Banished to islands
Gladly misjudged as poisonous snakes
Still not recognized today

Are very wise and self-confident
Full of self-will and joie de vivre
Are the weak man's constant frustration

If they ever want to go upstairs
The repression gets under way
Embarrass, ostracize, paralyze them, till they leave

Hey, strong women come out
Put out the men's straw fires
Yes, I love you all

The Middle Age is still there
Seems so distant, but is so close
Subtle strong women are still in danger of death

I may be a man, but I'm also a woman
Strong women know that very well
The lie of "man" and "woman" is something they've long seen through

Often have the big ideas
But the men become luminaries
The "Adams" leave them in kitchen handcuffs

Hey, strong women come out
Put out the men's straw fires
Yes, I love you all.

Outro:

Hey, I love you all...
Please come out...

Deutscher Originaltext:

Starke Frauen

So oft verbrannt
Auf Inseln verbannt
Gerne als Giftschlangen verkannt
Bis heute noch nicht anerkannt

Sind sehr klug und selbstbewußt
Voller Eigenwillen und Lebenslust
Sind des schwachen Mannes Dauerfrust

Wenn Sie mal nach oben wollen
Kommt die Repression ins Rollen
Beschämen, verfemen, lähmen, bis sie gehen

Hey, starke Frauen kommt heraus
Macht die Männer-Strohfeuer aus
Ja, ich lieb` Euch alle

Das Mittelalter ist noch da
Scheint so fern, doch ist ganz nah
Subtil sind starke Frauen noch immer in Lebensgefahr

Bin zwar ein Mann, doch zugleich ne` Frau
Starke Frauen wissen das ganz genau
Die Lüge von “Mann” und “Frau” ham`se` längst durchschaut

Haben oft die großen Ideen
Doch die Männer werden zu Koryphäen
Die “Adams” lassen sie in Küchen-Handschellen stehen

Hey, starke Frauen kommt heraus
Macht die Männer-Strohfeuer aus
Ja, ich lieb` Euch alle

Outro:

Ich lieb` Euch alle…
Bitte kommt heraus

Starke Frauen (Strong Women)

Starke Frauen (Strong Women) (Engl. Lyrics In The Intro)

Deutscher Singer-Songwriter über fünfzig Jahre alt. Seit fast vierzig Jahren schreibe und singe ich Lieder. Mein Hauptinstrument ist die akustische Gitarre, aber ich mag auch Perkussionsinstrumente (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). Ich liebe es, melancholische und poetische Balladen zu komponieren. Aber manchmal schreibe ich auch (schwarze) humorvolle Songs, Jazzstyle und -Rocksongs. Meine Hauptsprache ist Deutsch. Aber in Zukunft will ich mehr Songs auf Englisch und vereinzelt auch Französisch schreiben.
In meinen Kompositionen bin ich inspiriert von Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison und Bob Dylan. Auf meinen Platten spiele und singe ich alles alleine. Meine Vision für die Zukunft ist es, Musiker aus verschiedenen Kulturen zu finden, die gerne ihre Tracks mit mir teilen wollen.
Mein persönliches Mantra ist ein Satz, der von Paul Mccartney auf dem Beatles-Album "Abbey Road auf dem Track "In the end" vor fast Fünfzig Jahren geschrieben wurde:

Die Liebe, die Du bekommst ist gleich der Liebe, die Du gibst.

German singer-songwriter over fifty years old. For almost forty years I have been writing and singing songs. My main instrument is the acoustic guitar, but I also like percussion instruments (Cajon, Maracas, Gurio). I love composing melancholic and poetic ballads. But sometimes I also write (black) humorous songs, jazz style and rock songs. My main language is German. But in the future I want to write more songs in English and occasionally also in French.
In my compositions I am inspired by Leonard Cohen, John Lennon, Jacques Brel, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. On my records I play and sing all by myself. My vision for the future is to find musicians from different cultures who would like to share their tracks with me.
My personal mantra is a sentence written by Paul Mccartney on the Beatles album "Abbey Road on the track "In the end" almost fifty years ago:

The love you take is equal to the love you make.
