Observations of a Global Nomad

Sina ft Marc Say - Wa du bisch

So I mentioned I heard Swiss German music on the radio that I liked. I managed to track down the song, but unfortunately it’s not free to listen to, but the same artist does have some nice stuff on YouTube. 

Abd al Malik - Mon Amour ft. Wallen

Etre ou pas un héros
j’ai le courage qu’il faut,
même si la chance me fait défaut.
Regarde comme ça déchire
nos douleurs, nos désirs

I first uploaded this in February 2011, and when I saw it again I was confused for about half a minute thinking “Was it really only last year?”

I took this outside a Youth Project in Biel, Switzerland, and I still find it really good. It’s not recorded, you can tell it’s live. I have no idea if they’re covering a song or they wrote this themselves or whatever. If someone could tell me that’d be great.

Music from Squaresville: Season 1

So good dudes. check it out.

It’s a really nice soundtrack. Recommended. 

Ladyhawke - Black, White and Blue (Treasure Fingers remix on Radio 1)

I’ve decided that I much prefer listening to House music alone, rather than going clubbing. That way the songs don’t get ruined by local DJs messing around unnecessarily, or who are terrible mixers, or anything like that. There are so many limitations to clubbing. 

But when it’s just you, your headphones, and the music, it’s awesome. 

Zaz - La Pluie

Laurena - Permafrost

This is a really nice song.

As you might already know, NASA’s Voyager 1 probe, which was launched 35 years ago, is about to become the first object from Earth to leave our solar system. As it makes its way into the unknown, it carries with it a gold record, inscribed with images and sounds from earth, a message in a bottle from our planet to the universe.

Izlel e Delyu Haydutin is a Bulgarian folk song and this performance of it by Valya Balkanska is on the gold record.

(If you want to hear another version, when Nevena Tsoneva won the first season of the talent show Music Idol, she sang it for her final performance. Personally, I think Nevena is adorable and has a great voice so have a link.)

Wir Sind Helden - Bring mich nach Hause

Ich brauche einen Freund mit weiten Schwingen,
Der mich heil nach Hause bringen kann,
Durch die Dunkelheit, den Wind, den Regen
Um mich dann vor meine Tür zu legen
Und dort erst auf der Schwelle will ich verbluten,
Wenn ich still bin, soll der Regen jede Zelle fluten,
Ich brauch, ich brauch, ich brauche Nichts

uncdan:

Wir Sind Helden - Ein Elefant für dich

Ich weiß, deine Monster sind genau wie meine
Und mit denen bleibt man besser nicht alleine
Und ich weiß, ich weiß, ich weiß und frage nicht
Halt dich bei mir fest, steig auf, ich trage dich

Ich werde riesengroß für dich
Ein Elefant für dich
Ich trag dich meilenweiter
Über's Land
Und ich

Trag dich so weit wie ich kann
Ich trag dich so weit wie ich kann
Und am Ende des Wegs, wenn ich muss
Trage ich dich
Trag ich dich über den Fluss

—-

I know your monster is exactly like mine,
and it’s better that you don’t stay alone,
And I know, I know and I don’t ask.
Hold yourself to me tight, climb on, and I’ll carry you

I’ll become humongous for you
An elephant for you
I’ll carry you for miles and miles
Over land
And I’ll

Carry you as far as I can
I’ll carry you as far as I can
And at the end of the road, when I must,
I’ll carry you,
I’ll carry you over the river.  

Zaz - Les Passants

à Montmartre. 

Wir sind Helden - Du erkennst mich nicht wieder (live)

I love this song so much. This version is particularly good too. 

A String Quartet busking group at Marienplatz, Munich. 

Oh you can totally hear my mother talking to me while I’m trying to record the video. 

Konnexion Balkon Goes Classic

I don’t know the name of this either, and didn’t take this video, but good gods I love their music… 

Konnexion Balkon - Libertango

Found them. I’m not sure what this song is, though seriously: Best busking ever.
