Kate Bush: An Architect's Dream
"A big round bubble of sensuality,
Dared to be burst,
But worried about getting hurt." (Guest/www.tapatalk.com) "Die Mutter aller empfindsamen Popsirenen... verliert sich dabei etwas im Illustrativen" (Die Zeit) "(unfortunately, another moment being an appearance by the now-disgraced Rolf Harris)" (qrobur/last.fm)
"Whenever he works on a pavement
It starts to rain"

Counting Crows: Anna begins
"steht dem Erfolg ihres depressiven Folk-Rock nichts mehr im Wege" (www.laut.de) "David Immerglück appears with special thanks to Monks of Doom" (booklet)  "It was a real painful process" (Adam Duritz)
"You try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself"

Omar Faruk Tekbilek:  Don't cry my love
"...so much disappointment" (Jessell/amazon.co.uk)  "Although the first song is wonderful, the CD nosedives into mediocrity after that." (P.Lozar/amazon.de) "Fast jede Form von ethnologischer Musik ist für Trancen geeignet" (Doris Kirch/"Geführte Meditationen")

Charioteers: Ezechiel saw the Wheel
"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."  (Hebrews 13:2)"Vor allem die alten Spirituals haben eine Vorliebe für anscheinend Schwache"  (Lillian Boutté) "and the driving of them of necessity gives a great deal of trouble to him..." (G. Lowes Dickinson/"The Greek View of Life")
"This old world's gonna reel and rock
Way in the middle of the air"

Feist: How my Heart behaves
"plucks the strings of emotions gently with a deep resonance." (Jimmy Gillies on YouTube) "unter dem beschwipsten Gesang aber lauert eine Traurigkeit aus Zeiten, als Frauen ihren Kummer über ausweglose Liebschaften noch mit zuckrigen Partygetränken betäubten." (Thomas Gross) "Then, with a sudden shift in tone, the clouds darken" (Christian John Wikane/www.popmatters.com)
"And a calm heart will break
When given a shake"

Bette Midler: I think it's going to rain today
"I would pay to listen to Bette sing the phone book!?" (Joshua Blauvelt on YouTube) "Many understand the message is one of grief because of the music, but if you asked them for specifics they can’t place them." (Christina Francine) "Menzel said she saw the movie in high school with two of her best friends and “cried my eyes out.”" ("With frozen smiles to chase love away" (Deqdline/"Idina Menzel talks")
"Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street"

Phil Collins: I've forgotten everything
"criticised for its over-reliance on slow, dark and downbeat songs" (Wikipedia)  "Mir sind meine Gefühle nicht peinlich" (Ph. C.)  "Erster Eindruck: Nein, er ist nicht mehr der Alte." (rp-online)
"I've forgotten all the reasons I loved you"

Baba Shrimps: Little House
"Mit ihren ganz schwarzen Bühnenoutfits haben sich Baba Shrimps an diesem Sonntag nicht unbedingt einen Gefallen getan. (sarah/SwissMusicDiary) "mehr als «herzige» Popsongs" (Tagblatt) "Rom simmer gsi. Ez gömmer Arbon" (auf Facebook)
"Where did I go wrong?
Where do, where do I belong?"

The Cure: Prayers for Rain
"This song came on my Ipod and I stood in the rain and surrendered to it and cried so hard as I felt the most alone I've ever felt" (Sezrah Sylvan on YouTube) "No need to check the almanac to see what the weather was like on May 2, 1989, the day the Cure released its eighth studio album. Once copies of "Disintegration" started hitting CD trays and turntables, the skies turned grey and the rain began to fall, and sad boys and girls everywhere soaked it all up like sponges." (Kenneth Partridge/Billboard) "von beginnender Panik geschüttelte Stimme" (ea/Musikexpress)
"I live in dirt
and nowhere glows"

Bastian Baker: Prime
"Bereits beim zweiten Song war klar – Martin und dessen Violine fehlten. Wo war Martin?" (www.planetsarah.ch) "Ich spiele Musik, um sie zusammenzubringen, wenn solche Events geschehen. Es ist furchtbar traurig."  "Ich will nicht auf der Bühne sein und etwas spielen, was ich eigentlich nicht mag" (B.B.)
"Starting to forgive the bad
The atmosphere that drove me mad"

Elvis Costello: Too far gone
"Der Mann mit der Kassenbrille hat in Nashville ein Country-Schnulzen-Album aufgenommen, das den ein oder anderen Tränendrücker enthält." (Roger/jpc)  "schier verzweifelt und mit angestrengter Stimme" (Franz Schöler) "voller Herzschmerz, Einsamkeit, Trunkenheit, Betrug und Träumereien" (www.loftsound.de)
"I know I've loved you too much for too long"

Phil Collins: Please come out tonight
