#357 Paul Kalkrenner - Sky and Sand

-Why?

Rave never ends in Berlin, not even in a cool autumn breeze. The whole land is celebrating the fall of Berlin Wall 25 years ago. We managed to enter to the open air party at Brandenburger Tor and danced through the evening like it was still summer. A bizarre feeling, cause those hot days are over for couple of months already, but it still feels like we just stood there and celebrated Germany's WM victory (June-July 2014). DJ Paul Kalkbrenner ended the celebrations tonight.

#350 Kraftwerk - Die Mensch-Maschine

-Why?

I finally found some band stickers from flea market today. Since I could allow myself one only,I chose the one with picture of Kraftwerk and writing "Die Mensch-Maschine" on it. Not a bad song at all :)

#347 Trio - Da Da Da

-Why?

We are getting cultivated here in German language lessons! :D

Our teacher showed us some examples of different decades of German music and the one here is hilarious, bloody "emotional" and with an extremely rich lyrics. Enjoy! I just can't stop laughing...

#346 Tim Bendzko - Es geht wieder vorbei

-Why?

I'm a little sad today. I knew, that Tim Bendzko was playing in a concert hall about 100 m away from my house here in Berlin tonight and the concert, with "fancy" prices for tickets, was sold out already for months. I went to my regular jogging to Tiergarten after work and I had to pass the concert hall to reach there. You can now just imagine, how "cool" it was to sweat around the house, where, I know, that he is standing on a stage and singing my favorite songs at this very moment. (And on the next moment, I pass the homeless people on street, grilling potatoes on one-time grill & freezing in sleeping bag, which makes me think, that we are all the damn same human beings, how did it come to this gap, that one of us is so glorified and the other next to, is literally just trying to stay alive at all...). Yeah...what was I actually about to say...? I missed the concert. Es is weider vorbei gegangen...

Can't wait to be rich and fast for next lives.

#337 Beatsteaks - Everything Went Black

-Why?

Early morning today, when I was on my way to school, I stopped with couple of other people at the traffic lights. Next to me stood a man with a bunch of letters in his hand. He held them so, that I was able to read the addressee on the envelope. There stood: Sony Music Entertainment. At the moment, when I had a little "Oh, cool!" thought in my mind, the traffic lights turned green and we were allowed to cross the street. The man was faster than me and got some steps ahead, so I could read a logo on the back of his sweater: Beatsteaks. "Gentleman of the year," I thought.

Since I've shared that song here already, welcome "Everything went black" this time. :)

#336 Henning Wehland - Crazy About You

-Why?

Today's choice is easy: I share something from Henning Wehland just because I met him randomly at one beergarden here in Berlin. This lovely and warm person seen in TV just walked towards me, hehe :) If he wasn't leaving by bike and beer in his hand by the time I had just arrived, I would have definitely asked a photo with him. This was such a strange moment for me - I was so happy to finally see and recognize some German celebrity myself... I mean, my friends, who have been living in Germany longer than me, would probably recognize more people (that I do not know) and my friends back in Estonia know nothing about famous people in Germany. I really wanted to share my merriness and joy with somebody, but with whom? Nah...

Very homemade piece of recording, but the better it passes on my emotion. And I didn't know he is left-handed :)

-What?

Henning Wehland - Crazy About You

#330 Mine - Raus raus raus

-Why?

I was desperately seeking for some new music, that would touch or mean something to me. Something, that makes my ears "shimmer" and my mouth mumble: "Oh!". To be honest, I didn't meet "the one" tonight, but this short (2:39!) and concrete piece of music, telling mostly la-la-la, alleviates the emptiness.

-What?

Mine - Raus raus raus

Album: Mine (2014)

#316 LaBrassBanda - Bauersbua - Kiah Royal

-Why?

I've mentioned before, that lyrics matter for me, since I can't stand on bullshit on nice tune. This song must be an exception, since I half understand, that the language is close to German (that I personally have learned and can speak), but on the other hand I can't distinguish one word from another. Halp :-/
Trumpets and drums save the song.

#307 Jupiter Jones - Plötzlich hält die Welt an

-Why?

A song from Bundesvision 2014 contest, representing Rheinland-Pfalz. Nice live performance with choir on background, I appreciate it even more, since not all the contestants performed live (which I can't understand, considering the concept). My previous german popsong earworm changed to this now.

#302 Mark Forster - Immer immer gleich

-Why?

I should seriously create a playlist "From the first time on". Sometimes less is more and by this song it truly applies.

Mark Forster - Immer immer gleich

Album: Bauch und Kopf (2014)

#297 Balbina - Montag

-Why?

Almighty Google search showed me couple of sorted out lists of music to learn German. I am still quite at the beginning of listening to this list, but "Montag" already appeared out of others. Since I am one of the bloggers in my language school at the moment and it's a must to write regularly, I got a supa-dupa (obvious) idea for next topic.

-What?

Balbina - Montag

Album: Nichtstun EP (2014)

#256 Tim Bendzko - Nur noch kurz die Welt retten

-Why?

Another song from night movie of political history of Germany by Bundestag. I thought I had been listening to Tim Bendzko quite much already, but how come didn't stand this song out before?

#245 Die Toten Hosen - Tage wie diese

-Why?

I have heard this song in many public events lately (especially related to football public viewings). All the Germans were singing along; I wanted to join, but couldn't mumble a word. And how do you find a song from almighty Internet, if you can only croon a short melody of refrain (and no lyrics)?

I happened to see a night movie about political history of Germany tonight by Bundestag. During the Berlin Wall collapse part, they played t h i s(!) song again. By leaps and bounds, I grabbed my smartphone out of pocket and managed to record a short clip. Being so fulfilled after doing this - now i can f***ing find you, song!, cause you are recorded with lyrics and melody! :D Later, replaying the video in my phone again, I heard almost nothing, but wind that has been recorded...oh prank. I established to understand only "Kein Ende in Sicht" and won the searches at long last!

An Tagen wie diesen, wünscht man sich Unendlichkeit

An Tagen wie diesen, haben wir noch ewig Zeit

In dieser Nacht der Nächte, die uns so viel verspricht

Erleben wir das Beste, kein Ende ist in Sicht

-What?

Die Toten Hosen - Tage wie diese
