Weinerlich (1/09-4/09)


"As he cry sound like the wind
Like you & I he need a friend
He loves someone by the Northpole
He loves a girl with a frozen soul
He loves a girl, and she is shocked"
(Michael Hurley - "The abominable Snowman")

Eurythmics: Anything but strong

"These dreamy, sophisticated songs -- and that voice -- are frequently ill-served by the clutter." (Rob Brunner - Entertainment weekly)  "Annie Lennox hat einmal gesagt, dass für sie das charakteristischste an den Eurythmics eine gewisse dunkle Seite sei" "Anything But Strong is an ambitious track with tremendous vocal and music flare, full of soul and spirit. It ventures into somewhat clichéd lyrical territory with some of its imagery but the message of the song is a noble one." (Andrew Ritchie - etrhill.net)
"The hurting that we send
is so difficult to mend"

MOUZAIVE, Semois 
 
Tina Nordenstam: Bird on a Wire

"Birds from outside the windows of L. Cohens House on Hydra... But back in Copenhagen we`d  had another sensational experience. I remember it as late but at some point all clocks had stopped." (T. Nordenstam)
"And if I, if I have been unkind
I just hope you will let it go by"

Caetano Veloso: Cucurrucucu Paloma

"...eine Stimmung, in die man sich am liebsten wehrlos hineinstürzen möchte... Endlich den Schmerz des Abgewiesenwerdens, die Bitterkeit der Existenz, den Druck des Mangels, die Leere des Überflusses hinter sich lassen..." (Ulrich Paasch)
"Como sufrio por ella que hasta en su muerte la fue llamando"
(How much he suffered for her that even on his deathtime he was calling out her name)

Priscilla Ahn: Dream

"dreamy, imaginative roots-pop" (npr.org) "innocense in a sea of lies, life shining thru the darkness that drowns us, hope that only an angel can bring. stunning, mesmerizing and utterly enchanting" (corporate geek), "and you feel utterly alone and lost, and then the tears start coming and they don’t stop... and now I’ve stopped crying, I wipe away my tears, and move on, feeling a little lighter." (Priscilla Ahn)
"Now I`m old and feeling gray
I don`t know what`s left to say"

Dale Watson and his Lone Stars: England to Texas

"Poor Baby hieß ein Lied seines verstorbenen Vaters..  nur die Tragik seiner Geschichten hat er weggelassen"
"It`s blue here in London
just like in Texas
But the Blues you can`t run from"

The Coctails: Even Time

"...feine Sprünge in der Oberfläche...bei aller Wärme der Melodien, bei aller Entspanntheit... auch kurze Geräuschausbrüche, aber sie stürzen sogleich ins Liebe zurück... diese Stückchen ähneln Seifenblasen... Jeden Augenblick könnten sie platzen - und nichts bleibt." (Ulrich Stock)

Phébus: Floating

"welches über neun Minuten eben jenes tut - dabei aber Giusys umfangreiche Stimmqualitäten offenlegt und textlich qualitativ anzieht." (Senilm/ciao!) "Das Spektrum reicht von der Popballade „Nothing I can do“, dessen Synthie-Parts entfernt an die 80ies erinnern (in a good way), bis zum 10-minütigen unglaublich verträumten„Floating“".
"whatever happened to the dreams I had
the dreams I lost
how can I forgive myself"

Jeff Buckley: Forget her

"Hier muss dann wohl einfach jedes Bemühen um Objektivität enden." "Eher etwas verspannt, unreif und selbstbezogen" "Auch wenn jeff nicht gewollt hat, dass forget her veröffentlicht wird. live hat er den song gespielt" (Rolling Stones Forum)
"don`t fool yourself
she was heartache
from the moment that you met her"
"dieser Schmerz endet erst mit dem Ende des Songs und geht vielleicht sogar darüber hinaus." (stepnwolf/ciao!)

Mary Chapin Carpenter: Quittin`Time
(from an acoustic evening at the Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN, November 1994)

"her darker songs about love and loneliness reflect her personal life-Carpenter lives alone." (Entertainment weekly) "I don't want to grow old by myself, but I also believe that if it's going to happen, it will. I can't force it" (M.C.)
"Please don't hate me
this feeling just won't go away"

Toumani Diabaté/Ballake Sissoko: Salaman

"originally song lyrics, which are about the power, intensity and fickleness of love, so readily betrayed. One of the most beautiful pieces in Toumani`s repertoire" "This is indeed what Toumani is so good at – bringing together the old and new in timeless beautiful music" (eyefortalent.com) "C'est beau et calme. Sublime !" (web-commentaire de grenoble)

Crowded House: Silent House

"Als ob John Lennon ihm die Rezeptur für ewiges Leben aus dem Pophimmel geschickt habe, zelebriert Finn in gewohnt bittersüßer Weise das Für und Wieder menschlicher Emotionen und schickt seine eigene Verwirrtheit direkt zurück ins Jenseits." (Michael Loesl) "It's the weakest section of the album" (Stylus) "tinged with sadness and a reflective mood as expected" (Tony, comment at BBC)
"I will try to connect all the pieces you left"

Alex Lloyd: Bird on a Wire
