Healthy star

Health is the most important thing in life and it is great to see that there are people who can give back health to someone you love. This song is dedicated to all the people who give their hard education, passion and patience to the ones whose health is in need of help. Thank you for spreading your stardust!

Light of San Francisco

The power of the synths of Gareth Emery and the beauty of Haliene’s voice were united in San Francisco at Laserface, definitely NOT saving light and NOT saving on emotions. 🙂 Beautiful, acoustically and visually.

In my head

This song is “Always” in my head: Minimalistic with a beautiful melody and great emotion in his voice. Gavin James with his live version of “Always”. I especially love the synth toms.

Also with a beautiful emotion in her voice, Marie Fox has recorded a cover of this song. I wish it was a little bit more in studio quality with a clear piano sound but nevertheless I love her passion.

Whenever

Sofia in the Netherlands

Alvaro Soler is a Spanish singer, who had a big hit with his song “Sofia”, which was released in April 2016. The song was composed by Nadir Khayat, TinyIsland, Alvaro Tauchert Soler himself, Simon Triebel and Alexander Zuckowski, the son of the famous composer Rolf Zuckowski.

“All Things Under The Sun” is a song released in January 2018, performed by the Norwegian singer
Lieuwe Albertsma, alias Wulf. It was composed by Lieuwe Albertsma himself, by Jochem Fluitsma, Eric Van Tijn and Jens Munnik. It is played in the radio in the Netherlands and it has a very nice melody, however, it sounds like a cover version of “Sofia”. It seems that the girl Sofia was an inspiration for Spain and the Netherlands. 😉

Holo

Eric Prydz and his team created a trailer with excellent music and video animation. Please, release this instrumental song on Spotify as well!

Yes!

Yes! The commercial hype about soccer has an end, at least in Germany. Lost with 0:2 against South Korea, we can pack our bags and fly home.

Nothing against soccer, it’s am entertaining sport but in the meantime everything is so perfected, so hyped and so commercialized, it’s not about sports anymore, it’s about big business. Therefore it’s great that it has an end.

Anyway, it was a nice try! I wish the German team had the power and passion of this Pink song from the very beginning of this world championship. Only the most passionate team will win.

No Silence

A classic hit recently crossed my way: Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel alias Simon & Garfunkel published their masterpiece “Sound of Silence” in 1964, a long, long time before we had music streaming. It reached Gold in the Unites States and sold more than one million physical copies.

It’s a classic hit, kids are singing it in music lessons in school. Simon & Garfunkel have become a little older in the meantime but the song still sounds great.

And it is is still super popular. The original version by Simon & Garfunkel currently has 165 Mio. plays on Spotify. The heavy metal band “Disturbed” created a great remake of this song with the razor blade voice of David Draiman, it has even more than 214 Mio plays on Spotify.

Update: Now, 6 years later, in May 2024 “Sound of Silence” is in the German charts again with a great remix from Cyrill.

The Karaoke version for anyone with a razorblade voice.

Great version from Pentatonix as well.
