personal favorites
One of my favorite Daniel Benjamin songs now on Youtube:
DANIEL BENJAMIN Young, talented and unsuccessful… The story of an artist who grew up in the wrong decade (maybe) and in the wrong country (definitely). After playing 450 concerts in 15 countries, recording over 150 songs and selling thousands of e.p.s and records without help from managers or record companies there´s one question jumping through Daniel Benjamin´s career: what is the measure of success? From finally having an own drumset in the 80´s, the first punk rock band with 14, own songs, promoting his own live shows, self – releasing recordings made at home until being able to make a living from his own creativity, Daniel Benjamin has scored a lot of goals that most modern „pop stars“ haven´t achieved yet. But still there are no cover stories in magazines or video clips on MTV, no sold out arena gigs and gold records. Everyone who listened carefully could imagine Daniel Benjamin there and he himself would be glad to be the next big thing. His melodies could be little anchors in the heads of millions, his sound can catch the masses and his aura could make him a new icon. But who is gonna bring him there? Where A & R you? Does Daniel Benjamin need Freiheit from D.I.Y.heit?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah wie geil ist das denn.?
for english folks: how fuc**** great is that?
Can you tell me the name of the song? I would like to read the lyrics without the music. Maybe you already know, where i can find the lyrics…
And in which country would he be successful? Do you have any idea? I mean, if you copy something, you surely thought about it.
The songs title is “You Are”. Buy your copy on bei Amazon, it comes with a booklet including the lyrics. And it’s worth buying!
