I think the dutch influence is starting to get into my music taste. Great voice and wonderful cover of Kings of Leon “Use Somebody” by Laura Jansen from Holland. Also her other songs are pretty good, like “Single Girls”, but check out yourself:

And here the original, very cool song and nice voice:

Additional a song by Laura Jansen, “Single Girls”:

Not to forget an homemade acoustic cover of “Use Somebody”, strong voice, considering she was just sitting on her bedroom and did it like that, imagine in a studio with a nice setup:

And which version do you like the most?

Hey Ho! Thought I should bring up another German song, you probably won’t listen outside of Germany. The song was just released this week and probably a future no. 1 in Germany. The singer is Xavier Naidoo, beautiful voice and he already had several no. 1 hits and some of the most successful albums in Germany the last 11 years. The video and the dance might be a little bit cheesy but the song is brilliant. I hope you will like it.

You can also buy this song at Amazon.com. There is also some English singing part in this song, so you might understand something.

Here are the German and English lyrics:

German lyrics

Alles kann besser werden
Holen wir uns den Himmel auf Erden
Alles soll besser werden
Holen wir uns den Himmel auf Erden
Alles wird besser werden
Wir holen uns den Himmel auf Erden
Und keiner muss sein Leben mehr gefährden
Einer der kostbarsten Schätze auf Erden

Ich will raus aus dieser Scheiße hier
Doch ich weiß nicht,wie das gehen soll
Raus aus diesem scheiß Revier
Doch ich weiß nicht,wie das gehen soll
Man sperrt mich hier in diesen Bezirk
Weil ich den Rest der Welt nicht sehen soll
Ich werde aus diesem Knast heraus spazieren
Wenn ich weiß,wohin ich gehen soll

Alles kann besser werden
Holen wir uns den Himmel auf Erden
Alles soll besser werden
Holen wir uns den Himmel auf Erden
Alles wird besser werden
Wir holen uns den Himmel auf Erden
Und keiner muss sein Leben mehr gefährden
Einer der kostbarsten Schätze auf Erden
Auch wenn du jetzt bitterlich weinst
Bitte gib nicht auf
Auch wenn du grad das Leben verneinst
Bitte gib nicht auf
Auch wenn du dir verstorben scheinst
Bitte gib nicht auf
Auch wenn alles verdorben scheint
Gib nicht auf

Alles kann besser werden
Holen wir uns den Himmel auf Erden
Alles soll besser werden
Holen wir uns den Himmel auf Erden
Alles wird besser werden
Wir holen uns den Himmel auf Erden
Und keiner muss sein Leben mehr gefährden
Einer der kostbarsten Schätze auf Erden

I can see beyond the borders of here
And I know there’s more for me
I’m not afraid to face what they fear
If it means I can be free
Discourage me if you think you can
But I won’t stop till I’m out of here
Yeah,I just don’t give a damn
Not afraid to face what they fear

Alles kann besser werden…

And a quick translation:

Everything can be better
Let’s get heaven on earth
Everything should be better
Let’s get heaven on earth
Everything will be better
Let’s get heaven on earth
And nobody has to risk his life anymore
One of the most precious treasure on earth

I want to get out of this shit
But I do not know how
Out of this damn area
But I do not know how
I’m a prisoner in here in this district
Because they don’t want me to see the rest of the world
I will walk out of this jail
If I know where to go

Everything can be better
Let’s get heaven on earth
Everything should be better
Let’s get heaven on earth
Everything will be better
Let’s get heaven on earth
And nobody has to risk his life anymore
One of the most precious treasure on earth
Even if you are crying bitterly now
Please do not give up
Even if you denying life
Please do not give up
Even if you feel like dead
Please do not give up
Even if everything seems corrupted
Do not give up

Everything can be better…

I can see beyond the borders of here
And I know there’s more for me
I’m not afraid to face what they fear
If it means I can be free
Discourage me if you think you can
But I will not stop till I’m out of here
Yeah, I just do not give a damn
Not afraid to face what they fear

Everything can be better…

If you like to have a surprise for your better half, you should check out the Multilanguage Love Song Generator on the website of the comedian Bodo Wartke. It’s available in German and English. A really cool idea!

Bodo did sing a strophe in over 40 languages and 20 dialects, I’m sure your language is also there, like Japanese, Australian, Suahellen, Persian, Finish, Russian, Turkish, Spanish and many more. You can just drag and drop the different languages in the strophes. After that you can send it to your love ones via email.

If you like to see his performance on stage, check out this video, he is singing about 20 languages!

But the most beautiful love song is from Alicia Keys, I already introduced this song last year, but it still didn’t come out yet. I’m sure it will be soon and be a big hit. Listen to it: Alicia Keys – Tell You Something

Hope you all have a great Valentines Day!

Sarah Brightman released a great pop opera album a month ago. It has some really good songs and I noticed she covered a great song by the German Band Silbermond. Symphony, which also is the name of the album was a big hit 2004 in Germany by Silbermond. Symphonie (German title) was not the only hit of Silbermond. You can check out some other great songs of them here.

Sad, that this song wasn’t internationally popular because it was in German, and this girl has an awesome voice too, she doesn’t have to hide it in front of Sarah Brightman . But I’m pretty sure, Silbermond is a bit proud to have their song covered by Sarah Brightman.

Check out the link below for the song, it may inspire you to get singing lessons at takelessons.com.

Symphony by Sarah Brightman

Original Song Symphonie by Silbermond (backstage, acoustic guitar)

Symphonie by Silbermond (on stage, e-guitar)

There are much more great songs by Silbermond, check them out on Youtube or listen to one of them here. My favorite song of this band is “unendlich” which you can listen here. All their songs have great lyrics, unfortunately most of you cannot understand them . But at least you can enjoy on this song the instrumental part at the end of the song. Plain beautiful!

If you like this kind of music, check out “Juli”, “Wir sind Helden”, “Echt”, “Sportfreunde Stiller” and much more on youtube.com, there is a whole armada of young German bands like these.

Let me know if you like other German bands, even if you cannot speak any German. Maybe I can recommend you some other German bands, who have the same style like the one you already know

It’s been a while that I was talking about good songs, which are just released or going to released very soon and I like. Today I have a bonus song, which could really fit in the music style of Grey’s Anatomy, but was released 5 years too early. Awesome song!

First song is by Kylie Minogue, she still has the disco groove. Her album is… let’s say, ok. But I’m sure when they will release some singles from this album they will pimp up those songs pretty good and they will hit the charts hard. “In My Arms” is her first release, it’s starts pretty awesome, but the chorus was a little bit disappointing. Instead of keeping the pace it slows down. Doesn’t really fit to the rest of the song. Still, it really good, especially at the beginning. You have to listen it loud. I’m sure it will be a hit in the dance clubs and there will be some mixes out there, where the chorus is going to be faster. Enjoy

I would also recommend the Album’s of:

Linkin Park, they try to sing more than scream which ends up very good, they are a great band. And some hit singles from their album will follow. Get the album on Amazon.com or iTunes

Alicia Keys, I already present one song this week and she has more treasure on her album. Get the album on Amazon.com or iTunes

Simple Plan, if you like what they did before, you will also love their new album. Get the album on Amazon.com or iTunes

How did you like the new songs and what do you think about the “Could have been Grey’s Anatomy Song”? You agree, disagree or do you think there are better songs for GA.

Tell me your current favorite song, which is coming out now or in the near future.

Valentines Day is coming very close and almost everybody is in a romantic lovely mood. Alicia Keys unreleased song “Tell You Something” is a perfect song for Valentines Day. The melody and especially the lyrics give me goose bumps. It’s a song which gets under your skin. I’m looking forward to see the official video. You might want to download/buy the album or single on iTunes or Amazon.com, which is fabulous!

Hope you have a great Valentines Day and you tell your loved ones something special!

What is your special song for Valentines Day? Or will this be the one?

It’s been quite a while since I was presenting some new songs, so here it is back again, Alex’s sHitparade. Some of the songs might be older, but I still like to listen to them.

Today I present the whole range, Pop, Rock, Country, Dance and Ballade. Hope there is for everybody something. If not, let me know what you like to listen right now!

Let’s start with “One Republic – Apologize“, you can listen to the song all day at the radio. I really like the video, quite different to the normal standard – nice girls are dancing and cool guys pretending to be even cooler. I don’t even know if it’s the official video, but well done. I’m pretty sure we can expect much more by the band from Colorado in the future.

My second song is by Lifehouse – First Time

The song has dynamic, even it’s been a while on the radio, I still like it. I will also talk about this song in another post in the near future.

[youtube wCPsfJUmLvw]

And now something Country. Sara Evans released her Greatest Hits Album with the new single “As if”. Nice easy listening song.

[youtube IeTcD3BcBjg]

The next song is coming from Europe. Already has been No. 1 in England and some other countries. Will see if that song will have success in the States. I doubt it, since it’s more a dance song, which is not so popular here. But I like it Kleerup feat. Robyn – With Every Heartbeat:

[youtube VB9vqCIviMk]

Unfortunately the last song is not the real video since the single is not released yet. It’s a single on the new Album by James Blunt “Shine“. I’m sure it won’t be as popular as 1973 or Annie, but it’s simple, different and good, my Underdog on this Album.

Hope you liked the Songs, if not, you may have some other coming hits to recommend. Just leave a comment here. Hope I’ll see you more often at Alex’s sHitparade
