Here is a beautiful and melancholy cover version of Jean-Michel Jarre's Equinoxe-5 (1978). I assigned a different pad synthesizer sound to each pitch. The result is so deeply sad and yet confident that I could cry.

Everybody on the freeway just stopped
Police had no choice (just) but to close the freeway
The most amazing sight
Ever viewed by the human eye

Equinoxe-5 --- Jean Michel Jarre --- Cover --- 129 bpm, G major

The Andante Grazioso is the first movement of Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 (1784). The melody has already inspired numerous musicians to adapt, such as Max Reger, Arcadi Volodos and Benny Goodman. Here is a dignified electronic version that evokes something like "the entry of the king". What do you mean?

Andante Grazioso --- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart --- 60 bpm, A major

This 1965 Bob Dylan song was covered by many musicians: Joan Baez, Van Morrison (with Them), 13th Floor Elevators, The Chocolate Watchband, The Byrds, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Leon Russell, Eric Burdon and the Animals, Graham Bonnet, Link Wray, Münchener Freiheit, Falco, Wolfgang Niedecken, Hole, Joni Mitchell, Brian Ferry, Nena, Element Of Crime, Bad Religion and Marianne Faithful. My instrumental version assigns a different general midi sound to each phrase, so the result is somehow arty-farty.

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last
But whatever you wish to keep, you better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out, the saints are coming through
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky too is folding under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
All your seasick sailors, they're all rowing home
Your empty-handed army is all going home
Your lover who just walked out the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet too is moving under you
And it's all over now, Baby Blue
Leave your stepping stones behind there, something calls for you
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue

It's All Over Now, Baby Blue --- Bob Dylan --- Cover --- 60 bpm, E major

beyond civilisation ... This 1984 song by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance was often played on the radio in my youth. I'm more the type of person who would never have bought a Bryan Adams record. I can hardly stand so much exuberant optimism. Nevertheless, when I made the dance cover, I had a lot of fun doing it.
Other cover versions are from MxPx, Green Day, Dr. Evil, Topmodelz, Mega Mania and DJ Ötzi. Taylor Swift sings the song at her major concerts in sports stadiums.

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I should've known we'd never get far
Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
I spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah!
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of '69, oh
Man, we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever
Forever, no
Yeah
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that it'd last forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of '69, uh-huh
It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah
Me and my baby in '69, oh, oh
It was the summer, summer, summer of '69
(Yeah)

I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk)

Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (oh, no)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up
We try to take it slow
But we're still losin' control
And we try to make it work
But it still ends up the worst and I'm crazy
For tryin' to be your lady
I think I'm goin' crazy
Girl, me and you we're just fine (you know)
We wined and dined
Did them things that couples do when in love (you know)
Walks on the beach and stuff (you know)
Things that lovers say and do
I love you boo, I love you too
I miss you a lot, I miss you even more
That's why I flew you out when we was on tour
But then something got out of hand
You started yellin' why I would break plans
Even though I had legitimate reasons (bullshit)
You know I had to make them dividends (bullshit)
How could you trust our private eyes, girl?
That's why you don't believe my lies and quick to say
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up
We try to take it slow
But we're still losin' control
And we try to make it work
But it still ends up the worst and I'm crazy
For tryin' to be your lady
I think I'm goin' crazy (why? Why? Why)
Why does emotion gotta move so fast?
Love is progress if you could make it last
Why is it that you just lose control
Every time you agree on takin' it slow?
So why has it got to be so damn tough
'Cause fools in lust could never get enough of love
Showin' the love that you be givin'
Changin' up your livin' for a lovin' transition
Girl, it's a mission tryin' to get you to listen
Screamin' at each other has become our tradition
You yell, I yell, everybody yells
Got the neighbors across the street sayin'
"Who the hell?"
Who the hell? What the hell's going down?
Too much of the bickerin', kill it with the sound and
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up
We try to take it slow
But we're still losin' control
And we try to make it work
But it still ends up the worst and I'm crazy
For tryin' to be your lady
I think I'm goin' crazy
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (what?)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (what you say?)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up (girl, what you say?)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (girl, what you say?)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (no, girl)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up
Girl, our love is dyin'
Why did you stop tryin'?
I never been a quitter
But I do deserve better
Believe me I will do better
Let's forget the past and start this new plan
Why? 'Cause it's the same old routine
And then next week I hear them scream
Girl, I know you're tired of the things I say
You're damn right
'Cause I heard them lame damn excuses just yesterday
That was a different thing
No, it ain't
That was a different thing
No, it ain't
That was a different thing
It was the same damn thing, same ass excuses
Boy you're useless, woah-oh
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (just stop)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (just stop)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (just stop)
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up (just stop)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (stop all that talking)
Shut up, just shut up, shut up (stop all that talking)
Shut it up, just shut up, shut up (stop all that talking)
Stop the talking, baby (just stop)
Or I start walking baby (is that all there is?)
Stop the yapping, baby (is that all there is?)
Just look what happened, baby
Is that all there is?

By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah, yeah, we wept
When we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah, yeah, we wept
When we remembered Zion
Then the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord song in a strange land?
Then the wicked carried us away in captivity
Requiring of us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord song in a strange land?
Let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight, here tonight
Let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in thy sight, here tonight
By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah, yeah, we wept
When we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah, yeah, we wept
When we remembered Zion
By the rivers of Babylon (dark tears of Babylon)
There we sat down (you got to sing a song)
Yeah, yeah, we wept (sing a song of love)
When we remembered Zion
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
By the rivers of Babylon (rough bits of Babylon)
There we sat down (you hear the people cry)
Yeah, yeah, we wept (they need their God)
When we remember Zion (who have the pow-)

By The Rivers Of Babylon 136 Bpm

Sally called when she got the word
And she said, "I suppose you've heard... about Alice?"
When I rushed to the window and I looked outside
And I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up, into Alice's drive
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving
Or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't want to know
'Cause for 24 years
I've been living next door to Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance
Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice
We grew up together, two kids in the park
We carved our initials, deep in the bark
Me and Alice
Now she walks through the door, with her head held high
Just for a moment, I caught her eye
As a big limousine pulled slowly, out of Alice's drive
Oh, I don't know why she's leaving
Or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't want to know
'Cause for 24 years
I've been living next door to Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
And Sally called back and asked how I felt
And she said, "I know how to help
Get over Alice"
She said, "Now Alice is gone, but I'm still here"
You know I've been waiting for 24 years
And a big limousine disappeared
I don't know why she's leaving
Or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't want to know
'Cause for 24 years
I've been living next door to Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance
But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice

Beinahe wäre sie untergegangen im File-Salat, diese melancholische Dance-Nummer von Ende der 90er Jahre. Nur für euch sorgfältig aufbereitet.

9 P.M. (till I come) --- ATB --- Cover

Nebenher ein Whitney-Houston-Remix. Einfach weil's Freude macht.

Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
(Turn me up, turn me up)
Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright
If tomorrow is judgment day
(Sing mommy)
And I'm standing on the front line
And the Lord asks me what I did with my life
I will say I spent it with you
(Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright)
(Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright)
If I wake up in World War III
(World War, in World War III)
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I want to go home
It's okay if you're coming with me
(Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright)
(Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright)
(Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright)
'Cause your love is my love (My love)
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love (Yes, it is)
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
(Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright)
(Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright)
(Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright)
If I lose my fame and fortune
(Really don't matter)
And I'm homeless on the street (On the street)
And I'm sleeping in Grand Central Station (Okay)
It's okay, if you're sleeping with me
(Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright)
(Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright)
As the years they pass us by (Years, the years, the years)
We stay young through each other's eyes (Each other's eyes)
And no matter how old we get
It's okay, as long as I got you baby
(Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright)
(Clap your hands, y'all, it's alright)
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love (Is your love, baby)
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
If I should die this very day (Very, very day)
Don't cry, 'cause on Earth we weren't meant to stay
(Oh no, no, no)
And no matter what the people say
(It really don't matter)
I'll be waiting for you after the judgment day
'Cause your love (Love) is my love
And my love is your love (Your love)
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us (Can't hold us)
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love (Yes, it is)
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
'Cause your love is my love (Is my love)
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us (Baby)
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us

My Love Is Your Love Remix --- Whitney Houston --- Cover

Ich mach ja mehrheitlich instrumentale Musik, aber weil der Text von Seals Crazy so gut ist, sei er hier angefügt:

In a church, by the face he talks about the people goin' under
Only child know
A man decides after 70 years
That what he goes there for is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep
And through a fractal on a breaking wall
I see you my friend and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy
No, we're never gonna survive unless we are a little (crazy) crazy
Crazy yellow people walking through my head
One of them's got a gun, to shoot the other one
And yet together they were friends at school
(Oh, get it, get it, get it, get it, no, no)
If all were there when we first took the pill
Then maybe, then maybe, then maybe, then maybe
Miracles will happen as we speak
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy
No, we're never gonna survive unless we are a little crazy
No, no, never survive, unless we get a little bit...
Oh darlin', in a sky full of people, only some want to fly, isn't that crazy?
In a world full of people, only some want to fly, isn't that crazy, crazy?
In a heaven of people, there's only some want to fly, isn't that crazy?
Oh babe! (Oh darlin')
In a world full of people, there's only some want to fly, isn't that crazy?
(Isn't that crazy, isn't that crazy, isn't that crazy?)
Oh, but we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy
No, we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little (crazy)
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy
No, we're never gonna survive unless we are a little crazy
No, no, never survive
Unless we get a little bit...
And then you see things
The size of which you've never known before
They'll break it
Someday, only child know
Them things
The size of which you've never known before
Someday

Vor zehn, zwanzig Jahren machte ich mit bei Soulseek, einer Underground-Tauschbörse für mp3. Dido wurde mir auf diesem Weg bekannt. Ich habe sie sehr gern. "Don't leave home" ist eines meiner Lieblingslieder.
Das Cover hier ersetzt die akustischen Gitarren durch elektrische. So entsteht ein Hardrock- oder mindestens Slowrock-Feeling.

Like a ghost, don't need a key
Your best friend, I've come to be
Please don't think of getting up from me
You don't even, need to speak
And I've been here just for one day
You'll already miss me, if I go away
So close the blinds and shut the door
You won't need other friends, anymore
Oh, don't leave home
Oh, don't leave home
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
If you're low, just hold on
'Cause I will be your safety
Oh-oh, don't leave home
I arrived when you were weak
I'll make weaker, like a child
Now all your love you gave to me
When your heart is all I need
Oh, don't leave home
Oh, don't leave home
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
And if you're low, just hold on
'Cause I will be your safety
Oh-oh, don't leave home
Oh, how quiet, quiet the world can be
When it's just you and little me
Everything is clear, and everything is new
So you won't be leaving, will you?
And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm
And if you're low, just hold on
'Cause I will be your safety
Oh-oh, don't leave home
'Cause I will be your safety
And I will be your safety
And I will be your safety
Oh-oh, don't leave home

Black's "Wonderful Life" brachte 1986 eine melancholische Note in die Hitparade. 

Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eye
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Sun's in your eyes, the heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
Because you're there
And I need a friend, oh, I need a friend
To make me happy
Not stand here on my own
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
I need a friend, oh, I need friend
To make me happy
Not so alone
Look at me here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to hide and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
Wonderful life
It's a wonderful life

Don't you know
They're talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
Don't you know
Talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don't you know
Talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs
Don't you know you better run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh, I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run
'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution
'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh
I've been standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion
Don't you know
Talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
And finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh, no
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh, no
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh, no

Talkin' about a revolution --- Tracy Chapman --- Cover

Now, baby, come on
Don't claim that love you never let me feel
I shoulda known
'Cause you've brought nothing real
Come on, be a man about it, you won't die
I ain't got no more tears to cry
And I can't take this no more
You know I gotta let it go
And you know
I'm outta love, set me free
And let me out this misery
Just show me the way to get my life again
'Cause you can't handle me
Said I'm outta love, can't you see
Baby, that you gotta set me free? I'm outta love, yeah
Said how many times
Have I tried to turn this love around?
But every time
You just let me down
Come on, be a man about it, you'll survive
True that you can work it out all right
Tell me, yesterday, did you know
I'd be the one to let you go?
And you know
I'm outta love, set me free (set me free, yeah)
And let me out this misery (oh, let me out this misery)
Just show me the way to get my life again
You can't handle me
Said I'm outta love (I'm outta love), can't you see
Baby, that you gotta set me free? I'm outta-
Let me get over you (over you)
The way you've gotten over me too, yeah
Seems like my time has come, and now I'm movin' on
I'll be stronger
I'm outta love, set me free (set me free)
And let me out this misery (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Just show me the way (show me the way) to get my life again (my life again)
You can't handle me (no, no, no, no)
Said I'm outta love (I'm outta love), set me free (set me free)
And let me out this misery (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Just show me the way to get my life again
You can't handle me
Said I'm outta love, can't you see (can't you see)
Baby, that you gotta set me free? I'm outta love, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And let me out this misery (out this misery)
Just show me the way to get my life again
You can't handle me (no, no, nobody)
Said I'm outta love (oh, yeah), set me free (oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
And let me out this misery
Just show me the way

Wise men say
"Only fools rush in"
But I can't help
Falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help
Falling in love with you?
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you
For I can't help
Falling in love with you

I can't help falling in love with you --- Elvis Presley --- Cover

What seems more important is that workers and fanciers come together. All the workers who have to waste their time and suppress their nature in the absurd system. And all the fanciers who have never had to work hard in life and stumble from one WEF to the next, always with the feeling that they are business leaders with "smart impact". Aren't you more of an actor for the news? And the workers think: "If you only knew!"

The night seems to fade
But the moonlight lingers on
There are wonders for everyone, oh
The stars shine so bright
But they're fading after dawn
There is magic in Kingston Town
Oh, Kingston Town
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see the girls at play
When I am king
Surely I would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now I am king
And my queen will come at dawn
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town
Oh, Kingston Town
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see the girls at play, yeah
When I am king
Surely I would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now I am king
And my queen will come at dawn
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town, right on
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town, oh, yeah
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town, oh, yeah
She'll be waiting-

Kingston Town --- UB40 --- Cover

25 years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey yeah yeah-eh-eh, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what's going on?
And I say, hey yeah yeah-eh-eh, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what's going on?
Ooh, ooh ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Ooh, ooh ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Ooh, ooh ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Ooh, ooh ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
And I try, oh my god do I try!
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray!
I pray every single day
For revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey yeah yeah-eh-eh, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what's going on?
And I say, hey yeah yeah-eh-eh, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what's going on?
And I say, hey yeah yeah-eh-eh, hey yeah yeah
I said hey, what's going on?
And I say, hey yeah yeah-eh-eh, hey yeah yeah-yeah-yeah
I said hey, what's going on?
Ooh, ooh ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Ooh, ooh ooh, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
25 years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination

What's Up? --- 4 Non Blondes --- Cover (by Halion 5)

Ich heb ab
Nichts hält mich am Boden
Alles blass und grau
Bin zu lange nicht geflogen
Wie ein Astronaut
Wir laufen rum mit der Schnauze voll, die Köpfe sind leer
Sitzen im Dreck bis zum Hals, haben Löcher im Herz
Ertränken Sorgen und Probleme in 'nem Becher voll Wein
Mit einem Lächeln aus Stein, uns fällt nichts Besseres ein
Wir hab'n morgen schon vergessen, wer wir gestern noch war'n
Hab'n uns alle vollgefressen und vergessen zu zahl'n
Lassen alles steh'n und liegen für mehr Asche und Staub
Wir woll'n alle, dass es passt, doch wir passen nicht auf
Die Stimme der Vernuft ist längst verstummt, wir hör'n sie nicht mehr
Denn manchmal hab'n wir das Gefühl, wir gehör'n hier nicht her
Es gibt kein Vor und kein Zurück mehr, nur noch Unten und Oben
Einer von hundert Millionen, ein kleiner Punkt überm Boden, ich heb ab
Ich heb ab
Nichts hält mich am Boden
Alles blass und grau
Bin zu lange nicht geflogen
Wie ein Astronaut
Ich seh die Welt von oben
Der Rest verblasst im Blau
Ich hab Zeit und Raum verloren, hier oben
Wie ein Astronaut
Im Dunkel der Nacht
Hier oben ist alles so friedlich, doch da unten geht's ab
Wir alle tragen dazu bei, doch brechen unter der Last
Wir hoffen auf Gott, doch hab'n das Wunder verpasst
Wir bauen immer höher bis es ins Unendliche geht
Fast acht Milliarden Menschen, doch die Menschlichkeit fehlt
Von hier oben macht das alles plötzlich gar nichts mehr aus
Von hier sieht man keine Grenzen und die Farbe der Haut
Dieser ganze Lärm um nichts verstummt, ich hör euch nicht mehr
Langsam hab ich das Gefühl, ich gehöre hier her
Es gibt kein Vor und kein Zurück mehr, nur noch Unten und Oben
Einer von hundert Millionen, ein kleiner Punkt überm Boden
Ich heb ab
Nichts hält mich am Boden
Alles blass und grau
Bin zu lange nicht geflogen
Wie ein Astronaut (oh)
Ich seh die Welt von oben
Der Rest verblasst im Blau (yeah)
Ich hab Zeit und Raum verloren, hier oben
Wie ein Astronaut
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Wie ein Astronaut
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Und beim Anblick dieser Schönheit fällt mir alles wieder ein
Sind wir nicht eigentlich am Leben, um zu lieben und zu sein?
Hier würd ich gern für immer bleiben, doch ich bin ein Wimpernschlag
Der nach fünf Milliarden Jahren nicht viel mehr zu sein vermag
Ich heb ab (oh)
Nichts hält mich am Boden (ah)
Alles blass und grau (yeah)
Bin zu lange nicht geflogen
Wie ein Astronaut (oh)
Ich seh die Welt von oben (ah)
Der Rest verblasst im Blau (im Blau)
Ich hab Zeit und Raum verloren, hier oben
Wie ein Astronaut
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (yeah)
Wie ein Astronaut (oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (ah)
Wie ein Astronaut

Astronaut --- Sido --- Cover

Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were
Dancing to the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls
With the curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs they get louder
Each one better than before
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
So you're heading down the road
In your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you're gonna go and
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and
Your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning
And your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

It's Raining Men --- Weather Girls --- Cover

cher is cher. but this synthesizer version of the hit-song isn't bad either. is it too exceptional for your ears? so we recommend replay-listening, til you like it ... the crackling bass seldom heard.
This song is dedicated to the participants of the WEF 2020 at Davos and to the climate youth who visits the WEF by tramping three days up the Prättigau-Valley. I'm born in Davos 1968, about when the WEF was first.


After love, after love
After love, after love
After love, after love
After love, after love
After love, after love
After love, after love
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
It's so sad that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one, oh
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
What am I supposed to do?
Sit around and wait for you?
Well, I can't do that
And there's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need a love to feel strong
'Cause I've had time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you, oh
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Well, I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
And I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
Oh, I don't need you anymore
No, I don't need you anymore
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
(Do you believe in life after love?)

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left
'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how ya talkin' and where ya walkin'
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip but I gotta loc
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kind of G that little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the street light
Been spending most their lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Look at the situation they got me facin'
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watchin' got me chasin' dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loc'd out gangsta, set trippin' banger
And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool
Death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away
I'm livin' my life do-or-die, uh, what can I say?
I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24?
The way things is going, I don't know
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?
Been spending most their lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't lookin'
What's going on in the kitchen? But I don't know what's cookin'
They say I gotta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
I guess they can't, I guess they won't, I guess they front
That's why I know my life is out of luck, fool
Been spending most their lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the ones we hurt, are you and me?
Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the ones we hurt, are you and me?

Gangstas Paradise (Coolio) --- analogue synthesizer cover

Years ago at a new-year-party we danced to Abba's Dancing Queen. My then girlfriend Monika danced with every man but me! Am I still angry, that I treated this song so rough in this drum-&-bass-version? Actually not. But nevertheless I like the uninhibited bassline and see it as my late answer to Monika's behavior.*
Like all my tracks it is downloadable for free! Let me know, when you use it for a remix or mash-up!
*Monika! The dancing queen is you! Anyway!

Ooh
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another, anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance, you can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
Digging the dancing queen

Dieses Präludium spiele ich schon viele Jahre auf der Gitarre. Nun habe ich es aufgenommen. Es fliesst so schön vorwärts.
Ich bete für den Tag, an dem meine Mutter diese Musik geniessen kann und nicht wie ein kaputter Roboter sagt: "Nicht so laut! Das stört die ganze Nachbarschaft!"

Matteo Carcassi (1792 - 1853), Präludium In E-Moll

Like "Heroin For Talibans" this track is an excerpt of a great techno-mix, that i made on a Roland Groovebox MC-505 in the late 90s. Unfortunately I gave away this wonderful machine, because I was short of cash. When you ever see one, don't hesitate and buy it.
Special in the mix is, that everything is floating. It fits the vicious atmosphere in a gay club.

After a long time working with Steinberg Cubase 8, I reactivated Ableton Live 9 this week to build this cover version of the Ace Of Base hit.

She leads a lonely life
She leads a lonely life
When she woke up late in the morning light
And the day had just begun
She opened up her eyes and thought
Oh what a morning
It's not a day for work
It's a day for catching tan
Just laying on the beach and having fun
She's going to get you
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow
Boy all that she wants is another baby yeah
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow
Boy all that she wants is another baby yeah
(All that she wants)
(All that she wants)
So if you are in sight and the day is right
She's a hunter, you're the fox
The gentle voice that talks to you
Won't talk forever
It is a night for passion
But the morning means goodbye
Beware of what is flashing in her eyes
She's going to get you
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow
Boy all that she wants is another baby yeah
All that she wants is another baby
She's gone tomorrow
Boy all that she wants is another baby yeah
Another baby yeah
Ohhh
Ohhh
All that she wants is another baby (Another baby yeah)
She's gone tomorrow
Boy all that she wants is another baby (Another baby yeah)
All that she wants is another baby (Another baby yeah)
She's gone tomorrow
Boy all that she wants is another baby (Another baby yeah)
All that she wants
All that she wants
