William's Song a Day Blog - est. September 2007

846 ( Wolfsheim - Once In A Lifetime ) I have been meaning to add a Wolfsheim track to my list for quite a while now and it seems like a good day for it. To those who do not know of them, Wolfsheim is a German Synthpop/New Wave band consisting of musician Markus Reinhardt and vocalist Peter Heppner, however at this time Heppner is no longer in the act. Because many of their songs are written in English with more of a traditional pop sound it is probably more accessible to an English speaking audience than many of their German counterparts. Here is the music video on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Grand Funk Railroad - I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home) My song pick two years ago today: Pet Shop Boys - So Hard +

753 ( Joachim Witt and Peter Heppner - Die Flut ) This one was quite overdue as an addition to my list; I cannot believe that I haven't added this song yet. Anyway, this is a duet featuring German New Wave pioneer Joachim Witt and the vocalist from the Synthpop band Wolfsheim: Peter Heppner. I really like the introspective lyrics and vocals, they are quite beautiful. It is a rather nice song to get lost in thought to. Here is the music video on YouTube. Here is a live performance on YouTube. My song pick a year ago today: Jim Croce - You Don't Mess Around With Jim My song pick two years ago today: Canned Heat - On The Road Again +
