It's been my new year's resolution for 2011 to spend more time making/recording/mixing music. To force myself into doing so, I decided
to put up this page and post one song I recorded every tuesday.
After eight months I couldn't go on with this. Having a stressful job and a family leaves not enough room to post on a weekly basis.
But I will continue posting songs every once in a while. If you don't want to miss a song, you can follow me on
SoundCloud or subscribe to my
RSS-Feed.
Since 2021 I'm part of a band again, Fahmi Friedrich Widmann, check our LinkTree page to see what we're up to.
Feel free to leave comments. And please share!

Someone told me that leaving a comment ain't possible. Right, it was broken, but I fixed it. So go ahead and let me know what you think.

Well, well, well. I've better admit that this song did really surprised me in a very positive manner.
The song is quite catchy! Your backing vocals, intruments... all perfect.
Next time I meet you I'll ask for autograph. ;)
Congratulations!

Listened to your version a couple of times now. Excellent instrumentation and good flow. Glockenspiel and melodica are really well chosen for that. As in the original, "Can't help it if you like it cause I won't be here tomorrow" is my favorite part. And because you only get it once in the song, you have to listen to the track again ...

I like this version, very much so.
