Eric Clapton: (When Things go wrong) It hurts me too
"eric clapton is bad to the bone when playing blues" (p8nmanny/last.fm) "wurde von der Presse mit teils vernichtenden Kritiken bedacht. Nicht ganz zu Unrecht" (annadschan/amazon.de)  "I must confess that of late I have found his playing a bit boring, but LOVE this; and I have always thought his guitar playing has always over shadowed what a great blues singer he is" (Roger Sayer on youtube)
"But I love you
But you love him
I don't know what to do"

Morrissey: All the lazy Dykes
"leckt sich die Wunden" (Thomas Gross) "leaves the listener merely wanting" (Andrew Stevens/ 3am Magazine)  "No hope, no harm, just another false alarm" (TRB/followingthemozziah.blogspot.de)
"you give and you give and you give
and you give"

The Who: Behind blue Eyes
"the original was more of an angry feeling. I think it's much better as a sad song, even though I understand there's an element of anger to it" (flapanther33781/www.reddit.com)  "I have been feeling like he did when he wrote this song" (www.experienceproject.com) "während sich bei The Who der Gesang steigert, rauher wird, intensiver, in "And I blame you" gipfelt" ( cesna/jetzt.sueddeutsche.de)
"No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you"

Million Dollar Secret: Dancing on my own
"After several years in Los Angeles, Thomas (Barquee) realized the extent of his disillusionment with pop music." (www.discord.co.uk) "barquee: en route to Brussels to eat waffles, chocolate and french fries! (ironically, they were invented in belgium http://t.co/wBoZo2GI" (Twitter) "the young Thomas Barquee attended church frequently, drawn in large part to the sacred music" (www.yogatech.com)
"The Streets are empty
And so is my heart"

Kaizers Orchestra: fra sjåfør til passasjer
"eine Party, auf der sich marodierende Gemütsmenschen aus Osteuropa mit mitteleuropäischen Stadtmelancholikern und neurotischen Cowboys verbrüdern" (Thomas Winkler)    "(auch die Norweger verstehen nicht immer, was die Herren so singen!)"  (kaizers.konzertjunkie.de) "Wir haben Ziele und Träume, die zehnmal größer sind als das, was Kaizers bisher erreicht haben."  (Janove Kaizer)
"But in the end in roulette it'll go wrong"

Ani DiFranco: Hello Birmingham
"Words fail. This is so good" (Hans Joele on YouTube) "und jeder Hörer dieser Platte weiß irgendeinen Menschen da draußen, dem er all diese Songs widmen möchte und sich nichts sehnlicher wünscht, als dass dieser Mensch sie auch irgendwann mal hört." (UncleCactus/amazon.de)  "Ich wohne nicht" (Ani DiFranco)
"and i am feeling oh so powerless"

Courtney Love: Never gonna be the same
"wir haben viel zu viel Angst, dahin zu gehen, wo sie war" (ein Freund von C.L., zitiert in "Die Zeit") "Ich hab' auch Probleme damit, wenn eine 40 Jährige wie eine pupertierende 15 Jährige jault und schreit." (Thomas Hammerer/amazon.de) "Courtney hollers like a workman, but there’s something heroic about her inevitably doomed attempts to emulate her." (Alex Needham/NME)
"Well, the sun went down tomorrow
It will not come up today"

Leo Philipp Schmidt: Task II
"Alldem - der Melancholie, der Repetition, dem medidativen Gesang, der Folklore als Quell - begegnet man" ( Manfred Sack) "man hat im Leben ja auch nicht nur eine Empfindung" (L.P.S.) "Durchs Ohr ins Auge ins Hirn" (Rolf Michaelis)

Fury in the Slaughterhouse: Trapped today, trapped tomorrow
"doch leidet live die delikate Balance ihrer Studioaufnahmen. So geht der besondere Reiz flöten." (www.audio.de) Es ist freilich ein trauriger Anlass... Westernhagen und Carpendale gehen. Kommen aber wieder. Fury in the Slaughterhouse gehen und bleiben für immer. Weg." (Sven Ferchow/nmz) "Es ist wunderbar traurig"  (mr-johnson/www.neon.de)
"sorry my train won't stop at your station
and no explanations"

Nancy Sinatra: Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad
"The U2 musicians had originally pitched the song to Mr. Sinatra in the mid-'90s, but illness kept him from recording it" (Washington Post) "Nancy does change about the lyrics significantly, and changes the pronouns in the song, so that it sounds like she is singing about her father." (www.u2wanderer.org) "sounding great for her age" (NYC Music Lover/amazon.ca)
"Drove me to drink
But hey, that's not all bad"

Go-Go's: Worlds away
"By the end of the story, when Clay is about to leave Los Angeles, he listens to the Go-Go's song "Worlds away"... Obviously the song expresses Clay's feelings and his deep desire to leave" (Sonia Baelo-Alué - Bret Easton Ellis's Controversial Fiction: Writing between High and Low Culture) "there's not any songs on this record that we can't sing as 52-year-olds" (Kathy Valentine/Go-Go's - Austin Chronicle) "they look like rowdy kids, staring with dead eyes down the lens, messing around" (Elizabeth Sankey)
"That's when I find myself not quite sleeping
But still dreaming and I'm worlds away"
