SOMETHING DIFFERENT: New Tunes
-
Outside <> Inside
Written in 2021. It’s about insiders who also can be outsiders and vice versa.
-
Magic
Written in the second half of the 1980s. Newly recorded 2021 and flavored with a new arrangement and a new song part. Remixed and remasterd in 2023.
-
Mr. Sunshine
Also written in the second half of the 1980s. Newly recorded between 2021 and 2023 with lots of changes in arrangement and instruments.
-
Why Can’t We Live Together?
A Timmy Thomas Cover. Many have covered the song. Everyone knows Sade and Steve Winwood. The original of Timmy Thomas is also worth listening to. Almost a Solo entertainer number with Hammond organ.
-
Christmas Must Be Tonight
A The Band Cover. The Last Waltz. THE concert film by Martin Scorsese. Since then, I’ve been a big fan of the band The Band;) I saw the film 1978 for the first time in the Schwabach LUNA cinema. In 1978 I was 13 years old.
-
You Really Got A Hold On Me
A Smokey Robinson Cover. In the 80s of the last century already sung together with the great singer Margit Wolfrum. Now finally recorded.
-
Fire In The Belly
A Van Morrison Cover. So now there is the second Van Morrison cover and it will certainly not be the last.
-
I Believe In Father Christmas
A Greg Lake Cover. Actually, it was supposed to be another song by Greg Lake. But now this one for now.
-
Inner City Blues
A Marvin Gaye Cover. This song from 1971 describes and criticises the economic situation in the ghettos of Inner America.
-
Seven Bridges Road
An Eagles/Steve Young Cover. Is it the English counterpart to the German song „Über sieben Brücken musst du gehn“ or as the author means only a „…song about a girl and a road in south Alabama“?
-
Working Class Hero
A John Lennon Cover. At the end of the Corona sessions, another political song. John Lennon released this on his first album after the separation of the Beatles.
-
It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue
A Bob Dylan Cover. When you search for the title on Google, the first thing to do is a video of Van Morrison’s band Them. But of course, the play was written and first published by Bob Dylan in 1965 – my year of birth.
-
Higher Than The World
A Van Morrison Cover. And if we are already, as in part 7, with the musical heroes, then now must also be a cover of Van Morrison.
-
The Lee Shore
A David Crosby Cover. Before I heard this song for the first time I had to listen to Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, of course, at least 50 times. By the way, which is not the worst song on the 4 Way Street Album;)
-
Walking In My Shoes
A Depeche Mode Cover. Today, after a little longer break, a pretty angry song. You wanted to be as ingenious and self-confident as the author Martin L. Gore and could show some people in this way what you think of them.
-
My Funny Valentine
A Chet Baker / Richard Rogers / Lorenz Hart Cover. Valentine is explained by the Cambridge Dictionary as: Someone you love or love lovingly admire. That’s all you have to say about this great song.
-
Wichita Lineman
A Glen Campbell / Jimmy Webb Cover. Now a song about a man who drives across the country alone and checks and repairs telephone lines. This is for everyone who is alone or feels that way. Stay on the line.
-
Eisler On The Go
A Billy Bragg & Wilco Cover. In 1998, Woody Guthrie’s daughter Nora commissioned the British songwriter and political activist Billy Bragg and the North American band Wilco to set to music some of the not yet musically edited lyrics from her father’s estate.
-
The Book Of Love
A Magnetic fields Cover. This song comes from an album with the promising name 69 Love Songs. There are, at that time still on three CDs, actually sixty-nine love songs on it.
