"Hé du, ja du!" Leobert

I moved to Germany, so I've tried to write some songs in German....
 
What happens to a guy one can rely on in the proces to a divorce. He accepts people as they are, doesn't want to change them though, neither does he want to judge them. He just doesn't believe them anymore.
 
Der Trennungsblues “Hey du, ja du!“ erzählt von einem zuverlässigen und treuen Type, der Menschen sein lässt wie sie sind. Er will sie nicht ändern und verurteilen, aber er will sie auch nicht mehr glauben. (Text in German and English)

„Hey du, ja du, hör zu“           Leobert 2015
 
G – C – G – D
 
[G]Du, hey du, ja du, hör mal zu
 
[G] Mein kleines hübsches Mädchen, [C] verloren war ich erst ganz,
[G] Die Liebe in deine Augen ließ mir [D] keine Chance
[G] Ich bezahlte unsere Hochzeit, unsere [C] Wohnung und noch mehr,
[G] Ich dachte nicht an Verluste, weil du
[D] liebst mich sehr
 
[G] Ich lass jetzt meine Reifen in der [C] Garage stehen
[G] Und laufend werde ich jetzt zu meiner [D] Arbeit gehen
[G] Noch immer bezahl ich alles was du [C] haben willst und mehr,
[G] Die Kohle wird weniger aber, [D] ach ja, das ist mal so,
du liebst mich sehr
 
 [C] Meine Lieb, meine [G] Liebelein
[D] Wie anders wie anders könnte es [G] mit uns sein und
[C] Meine Lieb, meine Lieb, mein [G] Liebelein
[D] Zufrieden wirst du niemals [G] sein
 
[G] Du,  hey du, ja du, hör doch endlich mal zu
 
[G] Wie ist das Alles passiert, was [C] werde ich noch erleben
[G] Hast du Alles kassiert und war ich nur da um [D] dir alles zu geben
[G] Alles was du haben willst und [C] noch ein bisschen mehr
[G] Du hast jetzt neue Freunde, ach ja, dass ist [D] mal so,
du liebst mich sehr
 
Solo: G – C – G – C –G – C – G – G – G
 
[C] Meine Lieb, meine [G] Liebelein
[D] Wie anders wie anders könnte es [G] mit uns sein
[C] Meine Lieb, meine Lieb, mein [G] Liebelein
[D] Zufrieden wirst du niemals [G] sein
 
[G] Du, hey du, verdammt noch mal, hör zu
 
[G] Die Herren von der Bank haben mir nur [C] Schulden geschenkt
[G] Bin ich da in der Hölle von der [D] Tilgung gelenkt und du
[G] Besitzt Alles was du haben willst und [C] viel mehr
[G] Im Keller werde ich weiter leben, aber ja, das ist so,
[D] du liebst mich sehr, sehr sehr
 
[G] In meiner Phantasie bist du hübsch und [C] froh
[G] Steht unsere Liebe aber jetzt [D] Lichterloh
[G] Was soll es geben, wie wird es für mich [C] sein
[G] Getrennt von dir zu leben, ohne [D] Liebe,
aber glücklich und allein?
 
2X
[C] Meine Lieb, meine [G] Liebelein
[D] Wie anders wie anders könnte es [G] mit uns sein
[C] Meine Lieb, meine Lieb, mein [G] Liebelein
[D] Zufrieden wirst du niemals [G] sein

You, hey you                                                                          Leobert Kersten Voorjaar 2015
 
G – C – G – D
 
[G] You, hey you, I mean you, hear me out
 
[G] My little fancy girl [C] you made me lose my mind,
[G] For the love light in your eyes I didn’t stand [D] a chance
[G] So I paid for our wedding, our [C] house and much more,
[G] I didn’t mind the money, ‘cause you
[D] Loved me so
 
[G] In the garage I let my wheels grow [C] long lasting hold
[G] So I’m left the long walk to my [D] office live
[G] Still I pay everything you [C] want and much more,
[G] My wallet’s near empty [D] but that’s what it is,
And still, you love me so
 
[C] My love, my [G] little love
[D] How different our lives [G] could have been
[C] My love, my love, my [G] little love
[D] For you I’ll go the extra [G] mile
 
[G] You, hey you, I mean you, now listen to me
 
[G] How did it all happen, what [C] what will come my way
[G] Didn’t you cash the lot and didn’t I meet [D] your needs?
[G] You’ve got everything you wanted and [C] just a little bit more
[G] Now you’ve got new friends, but that’s what it is, [D]
you still love me so
 
Solo: G – C – G – C –G – C – G – G – G
 
[C] My love, my [G] little love
[D] How different our live [G] could have been
[C] My love, my love, my [G] little love
[D] You drive me up the [G] wall
 
[G] You, hey you, God damned it, now listen to me
 
[G] The gents of the bank [C] donated me debts
[G] They pulled me in the hell of [D] repayments and you,
[G] You own everything you want and [C] so much more
[G] In the basement I’ll live my lonely life, but that’s what it is,
[D] You love me so much more
 
[G] In my fantasy you’re nice and [C] so pretty
[G] And our love is utterly [D] ablaze
[G] What will bring the future [C] how will it be for me?
[G] Living without you, without love, [D]r
But happy and on my own
 
2X
[C] My love, my [G] little love
[D] How different our live [G] could have been
[C] My love, my love, my [G] little love
[D] You drove me up the [G] wall
 
[C] My love, my [G] little love
[D] How different our live [G] could have been
[C] My love, my love, my [G] little love
[D] The best things in life are still for [G] free

I used CW Sonar X1 for this song at the beginning and switched to Sonar Artist.
Electric guitar: Gibson Les Paul Special
Microphone: Berhinger B2
 
A total of 14 tracks:
1. SI-Drumkit 1, Sonitus EQ: took some bass out of it
2. SI- Bass Guitar 1 (default, I think), Sonitus EQ: took some bass out of it
3. (x64) Dimension L1 Hammond Jazz organ
4. Cakewalk Sound Center (CSC) Organ 2
5. M1 Le1 (Korg microkey) Orchestra 4
6. first voice
7. first double voice
8. secund voice
9. third voice
10. AmpliTubeXGEAR:Rytm guitar (Won't open, so I cann't tell which amplifier)
11. AmpliTubeXGEAR: Solo guitar (Won't open, so I cann't tell which amplifier)
12. CSC Mini piano (dry)
13. CSC Les Paul Overdrive Solo
14. CSC Organ 2 (melody)
 
Due to my age it's possible the brilliant high tones ind the mix are too loud, for my ears cann't pick them all up anymore, so I might overcompensate....
 
Enjoy

    Bier. Fußball. Etwas zum lesen. Leider kenne ich dass genau, weil ich den Trennungsblues drei mal gesungen haben.

    Hello Maartian,
     
    Danke fuers reagieren. Ach ja, ich bin mehr dann 30 Jahre verheiratet, so habe keine Erfahrung. Ich habe aber mal rundgeguckt und es gibt bei der Trennung viel Aerger und Streit bei der Ehepaare. Es tut mir Leid. Es gibt dann immer Verlierer; die Frau, Kinder und der Mann. Der Text koennte auch von eine Frau gesungen worden....
     
    Gruessen,

    Leobert,
    Ein bier bitte.  There's all the German I know.  :-)

    Your voice reminded me  of Tom Waits here and there.
    I liked the video production and your performance. I don't think the chorus doubling worked that well tho. 

    The story behind the song is one I've heard from a couple of guys I know. Pretty much the same: get married,
    get divorced, get screwed by her lawyer. Your song expresses the bitterness over finances, but at the same time
    it seems you want her back. Interesting ambivalence there. But it also seems you're very bitter about the finances
    since it's mentioned maybe a couple of times too often. I'm reading the English translation so it could be I'm missing some things.

    Anyway, good song well performed.

    Just my opinion.
    Bjorn

    Hey Bjorn,
     
    Thank you very much for your compliments. Happily it didn't happen to me, so it's not a biographical songtext. Like I told Maartian in German, I'm myself am happily married to the same women for more than 30 years. An author of a horrorthriller wouldn't necesarily be a psychopath or a killer just to be able to write that story... But I, just as you did, also experienced such sad divorces in my immediate surrounding. There are only losers there.
     
    Again, thanks for taking the time and bother to write me your comment,
     
    Greetings,

    This sounds nice. Nice job!!!

    Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.
