Welcome on my Profile!
May the NEW YEAR cause a giant step to everything that makes really sense to all of us and our planet!!
By the way.. i like sailing ^^



and

http://www.lucid-music.de/ here you will find a german musician. However she is still not here in last FM

Mit kristallklarer Stimme lässt die Sängerin Claudia Fink angejazzte Popsongs aus den Lautsprechern perlen, die von Balladen bis hin zu tanzbaren Stücken reichen und...

...eine leichte Gänsehaut beim Hören hinterlassen. Sie selbst nennt diese Art von Musik "Spacefolk".
Wer mit dem Begriff "Spacefolk" nichts anzufangen weiß, für den gibt es hier einige erklärende Worte zu Lucid: ausgewogene musikalische Arrangements, die eine Mischung aus Pop, Jazz und Folk ergeben, wobei sich manches Mal auch eine rockige E-Gitarre einschleicht. Die Songs klingen alle ganz lässig, entspannt und manches Mal auch melancholisch und sehnsuchtsvoll. Der Mittelpunkt und Fixpunkt der Band ist Claudia Fink, die mit ihrer glasklaren Stimme niemals unterkühlt wirkt, sondern eine wundersame Wärme in die Lieder hineinbringt.
zum Beispiel <Lemonade> oder das Video >Ice Queen< http://www.myspace.com/lucidgermany

I do appreciate especially the words from Al Jarreau´s song <<Could you believe>>
It´s a pity that the song can not directly be heared in lastfm. However you can put it in your playlist if you are an abonnent. This is one of most beautiful songs i know where words, composition and expression touch each other in absolute perfection.



Could you believe in a dream
When I tell you that it's true?
Would you believe precious friend of mine?
Could you believe when it seems
You are glad with what you do
It will give you the courage to carry
The courage to carry your spirit up on high?
Just to carry your spirit up on high

I saw people in trouble
I heard the angels cry
'Now don't tamper with my children'
Made the Devil fly
Spent the night with David
He taught me what to say
I was looking for a smooth stone
When I heard him pray

Could you believe in a dream
When I tell you that its true?
Would you believe precious friend of mine?
Would you believe when it seems
You are glad with what you do
It will give you the courage to carry your spirit
Up on high?

Oh, I could sing of all kinds of reasons
Reasons to lay your burden
Softly down
What kings and prophets did for freedom
Precious dreams imprisoned
Underground
Well, I've got this song that I'll sing
And I'll make the mountains ring
Tell my mama
That I'm homeward bound

Could you believe in a dream
When I tell you that it's true?
Would you believe precious friend of mine?
Could you believe when it seems
You are glad with what you do
It will give you the courage to carry
The courage to carry your spirit up on high
Just to carry your spirit up on high

Songtext from Children of Sanchez by Chuck Mangione


Without dreams of hope and pride a man will die
Though his flesh still moves his heart sleeps in the grave
Without land man never dreams cause he's not free
All men need a place to live with dignity.
Take the crumbs from starving soldiers, They won't die
Lord said not by bread alone does man survive
Take the food from hungry children, they won't cry
Food alone won't ease the hunger in their eyes.

Every child belongs to mankind's family
Children are the fruit of all humanity
Let them feel the love of all the human race
Touch them with the warmth, the strength of that embrace.

Give me love and understanding, I will thrive
As my children grow my dreams come alive
Those who hear the cries of children. God will bless
I will always hear the Children of Sanchez.
