Robin Williamson: Abstinence sows Sand
"If thought is life/And strength and breath;/And the want/Of thought is death;/Then am I/A happy fly/If I live/Or if I die."  (William Blake, 1757-1827)   "age has not served his looks too well but the genius voice and songs are still there." (pattycakeyumyum on youtube)  "This is not some anachronistic old man's precious little album of quaint songs and recitations, but a dangerous, profound, humorous, and tragic offering of possibility." (blowitoutahere/www.ebay.com)
"all over
The ruddy limbs, the flaming hair"

Violent Femmes: Candlelight Song
"Auch in ruhigen, manchmal gar romantischen Nummern hat Gordon Gano nie wirklich den Blues" (ME Sounds) "I have nothing to say, and my mind's in decay
And I'm all alone, thinking of days gone by" (Gordon Gano, "Impossible Love" Lyrics) "vertonte Unordnung mit eindringlichem Gesang von Gordon Gano.." (Mümmelgreis/lescharts.com)
"lifelessness
my doll
is
dead"

Sotto in Su: El lugar y el momento
"einfach bedrückend traumhafte Musik... transponiert in eine Zukunft, in der die Themen in Bildern zu Themen in Räumen werden." "Irritierend schöne Musik, der man nicht entkommen kann, wenn man sich erst einmal im Inneren befindet."  (Konrad Heidkamp) "Vor allem in Thomasz Stanko, 'der auch so eine gospelmäßige Komponente in seinem Spiel hat, etwas sehr Schreiendes, extrem Emotionales, sieht er einen inspirierenden Sinnverwandten" (rororo Jazzlexikon)

Enya: I want tomorrow
"Regardless of how I live my life, there are people who develop fixations that are not healthy" (E./The Telegraph) "Would you change anything about yourself? It is like having a mirror held up in front of you, looking into yourself" (E./Women's Weekly) "All i can say is, when y'all have gotten a word that exceeds the meaning of love, then y'all definitely will know how i feel about the song!" (Henate/www.sing365.com)
"You, you may take my life away, so far away.
Now I know I must leave your spell"

Pascal Comelade  P.J. Harvey:  Love too soon
"PJ HARVEY hat uns schon zahlreiche ergreifende Songs abgeliefert, die total unter die Haut gehen: die Schönheit von «Love Too Soon» aber ist kaum zu übertreffen..." (Rec Rec Zürich) "der verschämte Charme des Unreinen" (Konrad Heidkamp) "die grandios mystischen Songs" (Audio)
"How false the heart
How false the day"

Masha Qrella: Luck
"jedes einzelne der zarten, traurigen Lieder selbst geschrieben...  Kern aus Grau und Dämmer" (Susanne Messmer)  "Hier werden Erinnerungen, Wünsche, Enttäuschungen, Freuden und Reue in Songs übersetzt" (www.anost.net) "Gleichzeitig in sich gekehrt und berührend, versteckt unter Schichten, die wir langsam abziehen dürfen...  ist wirklich »Luck« (Zufallsglück) oder doch »Happiness« (das Glücklichsein an sich) gemeint?" (Sonja Commentz/Spex)
"hapiness sweps away"

Foo Fighters: Miracle
"Nettes liebliches Liedchen" (IchAusBerlin/www.hitparade.ch)  "it's not just a band to me. It's my life. It's my family. It's my world" (Dave Grohl/Daily News & Analysis)  "I was ready to quit music. Because, to me, it felt like music equalled death." (Dave Grohl/The Observer)
"Got no vision I've been blind
Searching every way you're right here in my sights"

Russell Smith: Nobody's Angel
"schnulzt seinen Nashville-Sound vor sich hin" (Bernward Meier) "Russell's voice lends itself well to songs of unrequited love" (T D Jones/amazon.com) "I AM MOST HAPPY TO BE YOUR FRIEND. AND MOST HAPPY YOU ARE MINE ALSO. YOUR FRIEND FIRST AND THEN YOUR BIGGEST FAN" (Jerry on myspace)
"(night after night)
no warming embrace"

Supergrass: Run
"machen den unseligen Oasis klar, wer die wahren Erben der Fab Four sind." (Alexander Cordas/laut.de)  "It should be noted that his ("Gaz" Coombes) glee in young adulthood doesn't only inform his music. This is, after all, a man who is so pleased with his newfound ability to grow facial hair that he sports pop's most ridiculous muttonchops" (www.trouserpresss.com) "Well, its 1 year ago tonight that the mighty Supergrass trod the boards in Glasgow for the final time, on the opening night of the farewell tour, sigh......(Lounge Lizard/forum.supergrass.com June 8 2011)
"Now the fire's burned down low
Lyin' in the afterglow"

The Rolling Stones: Wild Horses
""You wanna hear a sad sad song?" asks Mick to the crowd at Knebworth, as they headlined the Knebworth festival in Hertfordshire, UK, on 21st August 1976." (www.rollingstones.com) "mit dem verlorenen Klaviergeklimper" (Konrad Heidkamp) "Watched you suffer a dull? aching pain //TEARS must be cried .......... I know" (mazoyerik comment youtube)
"Graceless lady, you know HOW I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands"

Bruce Springsteen:  You're missing
"wird man nicht endlich einsehen, dass die Sicherheitszone des gepflegten Geschmacks keinen Platz für ein Pathos bietet, das wir brauchen, um die Trauer zu vergessen?" (Konrad Heidkamp)  „You're Missing" ist wohl der verzweifeltste Song des Albums, der eigentlich keine Hoffnung weckt" (wa-tec/amazon.de) "This line clearly states that everything is just what it is and nothing more, with the help of tone the bitterness is sensed as well as the huge empty hole carried by the individuals’ loss."     (www.antiessays.com)
"How's everything, everything?
Everything, everything
You're missing"

Crystal Gayle: Nobody's Angel
