German:
Den Song habe ich ziemlich genau vor einem Jahr hier hochgeladen und jetzt noch mal überarbeitet. Ich habe den Basslauf geändert, Drums durch ein Sample ersetzt und zusätzlich Gitarre und Geigen eingespielt (wer es mal mit der Vorversion vergleichen will, am Ende des Textes lasse ich noch mal für kurze Zeit einen Link dahin). Nach wie vor gilt: Song ist von mir und habe - außer Drums - alles eingespielt (Piano und Gitarre, Bass und Geige per MIDI, aufgenommen und gemixt mit Samplitude Pro X4).
Der Song stammt aus einer Reihe von älteren Songs, die ich letztes Jahr zum ersten Mal eingespielt hatte, und wie gesagt, nun überarbeitet.
English:
I uploaded the song here pretty much exactly a year ago and now updated. I changed the bass run, replaced drums with a sample and additionally recorded guitar and violins (if you want to compare it with the previous version, at the end of the text I leave a link there for a short time). Still the following applies: Song is from me and - apart from drums - I recorded everything (voice, piano and guitar, bass and violin via MIDI, recorded and mixed with Samplitude Pro X4).
The song comes from a number of older songs that I recorded for the first time last year, and as I said, now revised.
Text:
Have you seen the old man,
going down the street?
Why he walks so lonely,
no-one will him meet.
Daily he sits in the park,
dreaming of his time,
that's gone, that's gone...
Yes, he's the old man,
he needs a little love,
but who will give it him?
His wife died two years ago,
since then he was alone,
He shouldn't be so sad,
but he can't forget the time.
He still lives in the past,
life today is too fast,
to fast, to fast...
Yes, he's the old man,
he needs a little love,
but who will give it him?
Yes, he won't forget the past,
he's thinking on the time,
yes on the lucky time.
Yes, he's the old man,
he needs a little love,
but who will give it him?
He shouldn't be so sad,
but he can't forget the time.
He still lives in the past,
life today is too fast,
And so he stays a dreamer,
he dreams all day long,
til he died, he died, he died...
