Bevor du in´s Boot steigst (Original song - demo recording)

[talesandtunes]

Hallo Anette, deine Texte sind immer wieder erste Sahne, ich brauche dafür immer etwas Zeit, weil ich auch in Ruhe hören möchte. Und über deine musikalischen Fähigkeiten gibt es keine Diskussionen, deine Lieder sind immer wieder hörenswert (beständig) .

herzliche Grüße nach Berlin

Michael

[TanteA]

@talesandtunes Dankeschön, lieber Michael über solche netten Worte. Ich gebe mir wirklich immer sehr viel Mühe mit den Texten. Die sind mir (fast) wichtiger als die Musik.

Ich bin froh, wieder zu Hause zu sein.

Ganz liebe und nette Grüße von Anette

[TanteA]

@chuxtrux Hallo Chuck, thank you very much for writing such a kind comment. I wrote this song in a difficult moment of my life. But things are going better now.

Hallo Anette, wieder ein sehr schönes Lied, mit gutem Text (das kannst Du ja wirklich sehr gut!). Was auch immer Du in DEIN Boot nimmst, und sei es etwas in Gedanken, Du wirst sicher schnell wieder nach Hause (auf die Beine) kommen. Jede Reise, auch die nicht so ersehnten) geht zu Ende, und neuen Mutes geht es weiter...

Liebe Grüße, Frank

[TanteA]

@FrankRMusic Lieber Frank, über dein Kompliment zu meinem Text habe ich mich am meisten gefreut. Und - zu Hause ist es eben doch am schönsten.

Ganz liebe und nette Grüße von Anette

What a beautiful song and performance, Anette! You have the most beautiful voice, and you always play so very well. It's always a pleasure to listen to your music. This one is going on my favorites list. :) Janet

[TanteA]

@onewomanandsomesongs Thank you Janet for listening to my song. I am glad that the boat brought me back home.

@acapeles1 Hello Les and thank you so much for your compliment to my music. But I can say the same to your music too.

Anette

[TanteA]

@CharmedQuarkZ99 Exactly! Thank you very much for your friendly comment.

Anette

[dholeton]

Very Nice Anette

I'm also amazed at how you are able to present lyrics in English that represent your song written in German!

Dave

[TanteA]

@dholeton Hello Dave, thank you very much. I always try to make a good translation into English for my friends here on YT. I think there are more friends of mine speaking English than German now.

Very nice greetings from Anette

[karlmahlmann]

Incredibly beautiful, Anette. I was truely moved by this. I love your metaphor of the island and the notion of taking something with you. and I love the line "Stand up again and restart from the beginning" That's what your guitar gently weeps and I think thats the message, the lure, the energy of all music, a mystical revuvinatioin - truths we're aware of deep down but don't fully comprehend. A very, very beautiful song. - Karl

[TanteA]

@karlmahlmann Thank you very much Karl. I am glad that you could read so much from my lyrics. I am working on a new song with impressionistic lyrics this time. I wanted to do something different now.

Nice greetings, - Anette

[Libelle1963]

Wooow - ist daaas schön! Seufz... Manchmal bräuchte man wirklich ne einsame Insel... Und dann so lange dort bleiben, bis man wieder Sehnsucht nach Leben hat - bis die Akkus wieder voll sind... Das ist echt ein genialer Text und mal wieder sooo schön gesungen! Danke, Du liebe!

Kerstin

[TanteA]

@Libelle1963 Dankeschön, liebe Kerstin. Schön, dass dich der Text angesprochen hat. Wir hören wieder voneinander.

Nette Grüße von Anette

[MartinRaetzJr]

Das Lied gefällt mir sehr gut; musikalisch und textlich. Die Aufnahme ist schon sehr gut, so, wie sie ist. Natürlich kann noch ein Streichquartett etc. dazu, muß aber nicht. Martin

[TanteA]

@MartinRaetzJr Danke lieber Martin, ja man könnte noch ein Streichquartett o,ä. ergänzen. Aber am liebsten ist es mir, wenn ich die Lieder immer noch live singen kann.

Ganz nette Grüße von Anette

[ImOfTheWoods]

It's a lovely song, Anette, and beautifully sung. Your guitar picking is very charming, too. I enjoyed this very much, and see you in a while, friend. best wishes, Sylvia

[TanteA]

@ImOfTheWoods Thank you dear Sylvia for your great comment. I will not be at home for a longer time so I will not be able to uload music for a couple of weeks.

Best wishes for you too, -

Anette

Anette, Nice to hear your new song after living 1 month in China. Finally back to Hong Kong but leaving for Africa soon.

[TanteA]

@musicfamily Hallo Jeremy, will you go to Africa because of your work or because of the music? Thank you very much and nice greetings also to your children.

Hallo Anette, das ist kein Demo, das ist klasse!

[TanteA]

@KasugaD400 Oh danke lieber Werner für deinen netten Kommentar und die Sterne. Ich habe mich sehr darüber gefreut.

Anette

[CurtisMateer]

Right! Because you've called it a demo I'm going to tell you I will be really disappointed if a full multi-tracked version of this very beautiful song complete with chimes and a Brian Wilson type arrangement doesn't flower in due time Anette!

Looking forward to it very very much. Pete

[TanteA]

@CurtisMateer Hi Pete, maybe you are right, but a full multi-tracked version will have to wait. I won´t be at home for a longer time now.

Nice greetings from Anette
