'laute menschen'

dear cakewalk power users,
 
this is a new song called 'laute menschen' (German for 'loud people'). This one is very different from my previous songs. I originally to wanted to use soft synths, samples and loops only...but just couldn't resist, and added some guitars to the middle part 
 
for those whose German skills are a little rusted: this song is about these people who love to talk, no rather yell in their cell phone, preferably in crowdy buses or trams, and do not mind telling their whole life to the public! if you live in a city, I guess you have met this charming kind.
 
all comments, in regards to the mix, song, or lyrics (hehe) are as always very welcome!

speedtom, don't understand German at all. But this sounded great to me. Your voice reminded me of Talking Heads.

 +1 on the Talking Heads.  The mix is good, vocals are out front, and I liked the middle part where the guitar comes in.  I really liked those solo parts in the bass vocal.
 
It's been a long time since Deutsch 101 though.  Auf wiedersehen.

Dear Olemon,
 
thanks for listening and commenting! I love Talking Heads, so I am flattered! Too bad your German skills have vanished, would love to hear your opinion on the lyrics
 
Dear James,
 
thanks for your comments - it is good to know that the mix is okay, for this is not my (usual) genre, too.
 
 

You have captured many elements that show the Germanic origins of this, like my vocals I can not understand a word but as noted the production sound well here.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Well, spank my monkey!  I love the creative horn arrangement in this, as well as the vocal.  This is very danceable and would sound terrific in a club with big speakers.  The fact that this is not your normal style just shows your versatility.  Super job on this!

Dear Lynn,
 
my fellow Wilson, thanks a lot for your kind words! I am glad I have discovered the power of soft synth and am willing to explore further. Man, sometimes it is hard to focus just on songwriting and not get lost with the sheer possibilites!
 
Dear Bob,
 
I am glad you are liking this. So, when will you tour the old contiment? If so, I can open up for you, but not with my band, but just with a laptop (with our favorite software SONAR on it) and throw out some dance tunes! As always it is great to hear from you!

Good for you for reaching out and trying out something new!!!  It feels good to do this every once in a while doesn't it?
I get a bit of a Talking Heads meets dance music from this number also.  Everything sounds good to me -- production, instrumentation, and vocals.  Although I don't speak German, that was not necessary to realize that you did an excellent job on the vocals.  The song itself has an infectious rhythm that I am sure would work well on any dance floor.
Nice one indeed!!!

thanks Rebel, Freddy and Robbie for the listen and comment! Sorry for not stoppin by earlier, I am pretty busy recording a new tune with the band. Yea, it felt good to try soemthing new, I might want to come back and explore a little more...

What a great way to deal with pesky people, write a song. ;)
 
Has a nice vibe to it. Made me want to move and I didn't really feel like moving at the time. You speak pretty good German too.
 
Nice dance track and well mixed.

Dear Ralph,
 
thanks a lot for your listen and comment! I am glad you like Dallas Tennessee, which is indeed more of the stuff I normally play. I hope one feels obliged to write something about my stuff just because I have posted something about theirs...to me this forum is like a music magazine, in which I am welcome to listen and review music. And how cool is that! ;-)  
 
Dear Starise,
 
thank you for your listen! My German is fairly good, I mean, after 40 years in this country it better should ;-)
 
Dear Daniel aka the noisy neighbour,
 
thanks a lot - finally someone who can understand the lyrics! I bet Amsterdam has its share of "laute menschen"...
 
Thanks to all of you gentlemen!
