Day 15 — A song I like that's a cover by another artist

(first german song. English name: Just A Word. A cover of "Wir Sind Helden")

Und wo du hingehen willst, <And wherever you want to go>

ich häng an deinen Beinen. <I'll hold onto your legs>

Wenn du schon auf den Mund fallen musst, <And if you're in a loss for words>

Warum dann nicht auf meinen? <why don't you lose yourself in me?>

That was a tough one since I am not that into covered music. I stumbled through my music library for this and only found three cover versions. This is one of them. This is the first German song for this "challenge" although originally didn't plan to take German songs because most people won't understand, I'm afraid. The original version of this song is beautiful as well as this cover version which takes "Just A Word" more into a sad vibe with a clear take on to the doomer music genre. The singer sings about a person she/he is in love with, but the person doesn't give her/him any attention at all depicted in "a loss for words" because the person doesn't talk. The singer therefore wishes for just one word from the person. Although the person doesn't give the singer any attention, in many passages the singer sings about the moments where the person's quietness makes her/him even more attracted to the person.

There is also one cute pun in it which unfortunately does only work in German. There is a saying in German that someone who doesnt talk that much is "auf den Mund gefallen", which literally means one fell onto her/his own mouth. So in the verses "Wenn du schon auf den Mund fallen musst, warum dann nicht auf meinen?" the singer asks why the person couldn't just fall onto the singer's mouth (making them kiss one another 🥰) while also stating how quiet the person is - like in the saying I had just mentioned.

[mundrakan]

I want to add some less popular, but equally talented artists and songs:

I stole a kiss from you (Ich habe dir nen Kuss gestohlen) - Schandmaul

The gleeman's curse (Spielmannsfluch) - In Extremo

When I am dead, you shall dance (Wenn ich tot bin, dann sollst du tanzen) - Luna Luna

Head cinema (Kopfkino) - Letzte Instanz

Monument/Memorial (Denkmal) - Wir sind Helden

New Wind (Neuer Wind) - Van Canto (They have LOTS of stuff in English too, and are my special recommendation)

Fic Titles: German Song Edition

Part I

Without a lighthouse, alone at sea (Ohne Leuchtturm, allein in ′nem Meer) - Alaska, Casper

And if you kiss me (Und wenn du mich küsst) - Songs für Liam, Kraftklub

Just those few perfect seconds (Nur diese paar perfekten Sekunden) - 1,40m, Prinz Pi feat. Philipp Dittberner

If you love me, stay with me now and wait (Wenn du mich liebst, bleib jetzt bei mir und warte) - TNT, Casper

I don't have a home, I only have you (Hab′ keine Heimat, ich hab' nur dich) - Oft gefragt, AnnenMayKantereit

And I'll buy you the world (Und ich kauf dir die Welt) - Du wirst schon sehen, Provinz feat. Disarstar

Please remember me kindly (Bitte denk an mich im Guten) - Transparent, Dota Kehr und die Stadtpiraten

And I want it to stay like this forever (Und ich will, dass es für immer so bleibt) - Vielleicht, vielleicht, AnnenMayKantereit

This is not goodbye, because I was never welcome (Dies ist kein Abschied, denn ich war nie willkommen) - Im Aschregen, Casper

new game! shuffle your playlist 12 times and let it predict your 2023

Thanks for the tag @gwiazdziarka !

The majority of my playlists are either thematical or FSTs and have less than 20 songs, so I used different ones for each month and I can think that can teach us all something about algorithms, because, uh



January: Marina - Bubblegum Bitch

February: Lucy Ward - Maids When You're Young

March: Marit Larsen - Shelby Avenue

April: Portugal. The Man - Feel It Still

May: Wir Sind Helden - Nur ein Wort

June: Marit Larsen - Faith & Science

July: Marit Larsen - Don't Move

August: Marit Larsen - Please Don't Fall For Me

September: Simen Vikan - Rett Sted Rett Tid

October: Marit Larsen - Ten Steps

November: Original London Cast of "Cats" (1981): Magical Mr. Mistoffelees

December: Marit Larsen - This is Me, This Is You



In conclusion: if the FMA fandom could make Nightwish a hype the MLB fandom could totally do the same for another Nordic artist. "The Spark" is the soundtrack of adrinette and "When The Morning Comes" is ladynoir's

Music!!! I love doing music recs!!!

Okay in English, my largely unknown trifecta is Architecture in Helsinki, of Montreal, and the Hush Sound. I'm obsessed, I tell everyone about them, I have listened to their stuff on repeat for like 15 years. Also Michael Franti and Spearhead, Fleming & John, Nico Vega, Kaiser Chiefs, and I'll cut myself off wiiiith Better Than Ezra.

How about Italian music? I can't get enough of Francesco Gabbani or Giusy Ferreri. Just discovered Gemelli Diversi and I'm enjoying their stuff. I listened to some Raffaella Carrà after she died, and I'm absolutely loving it. Takagi & Ketra, Max Gazzé... but there are so many songs I LOVE that I haven't even had a chance to look into their artists yet.

For German, I LOVE Wise Guys. They're total a cappella/beatboxing types, their music is DELIGHTFUL. Also Cro, LEA, Wir Sind Helden.

In Spanish or French surprisingly I don't actually have many fav artists, but many fav songs. Maybe I can do a separate ask with song recs! I can definitely say that I love the entirety of Manau's Panique Celtique album, though.

For Dutch, we have The Opposites as a big favorite, and listen to a decent amount of of Gerd Pardoel. Kinderen voor Kinderen are adorable, their song 'Twee Vaders' (Two Fathers) is just the sweetest thing. Got a few by Guus Meeuwis that I really like.

I would just love to do another one with specific songs but I don't want to overwhelm you LMAO, so let me know if that's something you would want! I can def give you my top favs of anyone I've listed here, or if you want individual songs from a particular language. The languages listed above are the only ones I know decently enough - minus Dutch which bestie is studying, so I have enjoyed the musical benefits thereof - to have actual collections of songs I love, but seriously, I can do this all day.

i love this so much! thank you so so so so much for sending me this, i can totally tell you’re absolutely passionate about music and love to share you passion. i can literally tell how excited and passionate you are about this!

i actually listen to nico vega too, gonna check out the rest though! because i haven’t heard of the other artists.

also i really wanna get more into italian music so thank you so so so so much. 🙏🏻

oh only know one french speaking artist and that is stromae so pls i’d actually love more recs!

idk why but i’m really into the dutch language so thanks. also you picked all the languages i actually love sm and what to learn or like to listen to. 😳

like this is definitely absolutely amazing! love it!!! definitely gonna check those artists/songs out!

again, thank you sm. ♡
