Tracy Chapman: At this Point in my Life
"Done so many things wrong, I don't know if I can do right.  The first time I heard that recently, I nearly cried.  Because that sort of doubt has always been inside my head." (Clover/www.flutteringbutterflies.com) "I end up writing about all kinds of things." (T.C.) "People's real hopes and dreams can be distorted and misdirected and packaged until you're not sure what you really want or what you even really need."
"As if the search to live honestly
Is all that anyone needs
No matter if you find it"

Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet: For other Eyes
"Der Spott ...versteckt sich vor der reinen Schönheit und Melancholie dieser Lieder" (Konrad Heidkamp) "absolut emotionslos" "Hirni-Barde" (Musikexpress) "An insult to every living creature with ears attached to its head." (DivinePartridge/www.rateyourmusic.com)
"And it's the lack of forgiveness that I can't disguise"

Wyclef Jean: Gunpowder
"most sobering plea for peace." (Spiritual Journeys) "Am 19. März 2011 wurde Jean in Port-au-Prince angeschossen und an seiner Hand verletzt." (www.mtv.de) "Meister der Vermanschung" (Ulrich Stock)
"good things come to those who wait
do good things come to those who wait?"

The Rolling Stones: Love in vain
"Der Song fällt durch seinen melancholischen Text und die traurige Grundstimmung auf." (dbpedia.org)  "sorgt bei mir für gute Laune."  (Traumsuse/Selbsthilfeforum www.bipolar-forum.de Für den Erfahrungsaustausch über Bipolare Störungen (manisch-depressive Erkrankungen) "das Alltägliche ist das Vergehen, jedes Ende ein Anfang, denn aus den Streitigkeiten, dem Konkurrieren, dem Verlassen und Verlassenwerden führt immer eine Straße nach Nirgendwo" (Thomas Phleps)
"Well, I felt so sad and lonesome that I could not help but cry"

Ich schwitze nie: Matrosenliebe
"diese drei offenkundig verschrobenen Gestalten" (Musikexpress)  "ehemalige Berliner Experimentalmucker, die die Melancholie der Chansons der 20er Jahre für sich entdeckten"  (lind/www.inselmedia.de)  "Rudolphs Stimme, der jene markige Männlichkeit fehlt, die nach zehn Schnäpsen ganz besonders bartstoppelig klingt." (Christina Moles Kaupp/spon)

Status Quo: Raining in my Heart
"Whatever happened? to good music???" "plane happened"  (ere erererer/TiRa999 on youtube) "Felice Bryant, who co-wrote... Buddy Holly's "Raining in My Heart," died on Tuesday... She was 77..  She had been diagnosed with cancer" www.rockabillyhall.com) "song that has a bluesy, country ballad feel to it fused with 'love lost' lyrics" (Billboard)
"I tell my blues they mustn’t show
but soon these tears are bound to flow"

Archive: Rest my Head on you
"wird jedoch streckenweise ein wenig von den eigenen ehrgeizigen Ansprüchen und einem Trend, immer und überall große Ziele zu verfolgen, ein wenig überfordert. Aber ist das etwa ein Vergehen?!" (Mike Pattenden/amazon.de) "Thanks For coming closer!!!!! Gracias!!"  (Javi Cuquerella on facebook)  "I was watching the moon hoping to die soon can I rest my head on you instead?" (paintedonsilentblue.bandcamp.com)
"All I, all, all I, all, all I, all, all I ...
All I wanna do"

The Chieftains with Mick Jagger: The long black Veil
"I don't know if it's any good or not. If you like it, why, put a tune to it. If you don't, why, throw it in the wastebasket." (Lefty Frizzel zit. Danny Dill, lyrics) "The punishments that the characters must undergo are worsened by the fact that they do not tell the whole truth." (www.123helpme.com) "I am just a shadow of the man I used to be/I wish I had someone to sing the Long Black Veil with me" (Kevin Welch/"Flycatcher Jack And The Whippoorwill's Song")
"Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me"

Lauryn Hill: When it hurts so bad
"reminds me of what I was doing when I first heard it. I was like 10 or 11. My mom and I had just left Wal-Mart, and I was crying because I couldn’t get some fake nails I wanted." (Jay.Lee/jlphotographyworld.com)  "stated that her inability to pay the money stemmed from her deliberate hiatus from music, which she took to raise her six children." (www.faceyourinterest.com)  "Lauryn softened the truth of people’s tendencies to be masochists in love." (DJ Don Cannon/www.allhiphop.com)
"I loved real, real hard once
But the Love wasn't returned"

Eddie Harris: You stole my Heart - the last encore
"jener Eddie Harris, der die Hitze von der Oberfläche in die Tiefe verlegt. ...in ihrer zerbrechlichen, aber unzerstörbaren Schönheit" (Konrad Heidkamp) "Eddie delivers an immensely soulful vocal...  and then plays a truely moving tenor solo" (Mike Hennessey) "mit dem enormen Feuer und Drang eines Mannes, dem wohl bewußt ist, daß er sein letztes musikalisches Testament aufsetzt...  setzen einen wehmütig machenden Schlußpunkt." (Act Music)
"I'm very happy
We're the best of friends"

Monster Magnet: Your Lies become you
"Unseren bisherigen Drummer John Kleiman musste ich leider feuern, denn er wollte eine andere musikalische Richtung einschlagen.. Mir war danach, einmal eine etwas schwerer verdauliche Scheibe aufzunehmen." (Dave Wyndorf) "symbols of tired tantrums thrown in our face once again.. finishes off with a spooky little lounge number" (E.C.McMullen Jr.) "The only songs that I find average here are "Your Lies Become You"" (iommi600/www.ultimate-guitar.com)
"How am I living without you?
I'm not even sure now that I'm sane"

Robert Wyatt: Raining in my Heart
