Here's something for you. My niece has a few tracks on Spotify, she's been on the BBC Sounds Radio as a highlighted artist. Feel free to check out her stuff. Shes still trying to make it in the music biz:

Ahh, the 80s.

Ozzy Osbourne has died. Entrepeneur, icon, legend, rest in peace. I posted this before, but here it is again:

Without Ozzy there would have been no heavy metal as we know it.

Bettina Wegner - Kinder (Children) from 1978

"This is a song for my children, for all children and even more for grown-ups."

I know this song for some time now, but when I heard it again a few minutes ago, I had to sweep away a few tears. I'm glad that my parents lived up to this ideal as closely as it could be expected.

Are such tiny hands
With tiny fingers on them
Don't you ever beat them
They might break apart

Are such tiny feet
With so tiny toes
Don't you ever step on them
They might not be able to walk

Are such tiny ears
That hear so excellent
Don't you ever shout at them
They might become deaf

Are such beautiful mouths
Speaking out everything
Don't you ever forbid
They might not speak anymore

Are such clear eyes
That still can see everything
Don't you blindfold them
They couldn't comprehend

Are so little souls
Frank and completely free
Don't you ever trouble them
They might get harmed

Is such a little spine
That you can hardly see it
Don't you ever bend it
Because it might break

Upright, clear humans
That would be a beautiful aim
We already have
Too many spineless people

And this is what it sounds like when played on a real organ!

Gorgeous!

Not a metal song this time, but it moves my heart:

In my opinion, Herbert Grönemeyer is among the masters of the German language. He truly loves her.
