Wanna hear Alphaville's/Marian's cover of...

We all know, Alphaville was influenced by Bowie. Marian even made a *very good* cover of "Five Years" (the original song is on my favorite Bowie-Album "Ziggy Stardust"). There´s another Bowie-song that seems to be "MADE FOR ALPHAVIELLE" (made for Marian´s voice!): Look back in Anger...
If you don´t know the song... I´ve saved an mp3 and would like to share it with you.

I always wanted to hear Marian singing some songs from boy bands. Although he does not like them it would be good to hear the songs from him.
My fave song I'd like to hear from Marian is 'Angels' from Robbie Williams.

That's a strange f&%¤ing thing for a music teacher to say...Imitation? LIfe is led by imitation...but I think Mr Gold more or less is more inspired than imitates..He has too much of his own style and flavour that he adds to things...imitation??? I think NOT! Enhancing...inspired by...could be...Your music teacher is a coocoohead

Yeah, I think so, too, Trent. Marian loves to be inspired from Bowie but he would never do a simple cover version with no sense behind it.
Teachers sometimes (or very often) seem to be very... hmmm.... strange and stupid persons.......<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Well..I wouldn't say that teachers are stupid...they are who teaches all of us..I had very good teachers in school...though I didn't give a shite what they were teaching me...they did pretty good...but for a music teacher to say that is quite...Yeah! COOCOO...If you know anything about music you know that you are inspired by other things alot...Art imitates life and life inspires art...whether it be a tree or a car or your favourite shirt, you are inspired by something and that's what you write about...take me last song I wrote for instance...that was inspired by a Bowie movie as a matter of fact!

I think without inspiration AV would not exist....
Well, I know that not all teachers are stupid (I said SOMETIMES)..... I have some who ARE stupid... But then I have some I like very much.... <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

I would like to hear a cover by Marian of the song "Finding Me" by Code 64....a slow great song!

Code 64 - Finding Me

When things are very hard to see
Always rain inside me
You'll find me here
Trying to heal

When it's very hard to breathe
With all this pain inside me
You'll find me here
Falling like a leaf

When I have nothing to say
Still trying to find a way
You'll find me here
Trying to heal

Sometimes we only feel pain
Seeking shelter from the rain
Without hands to hold
As we grow old

When I feel lost
You'll find me here
Trying to heal

When things are very hard to see
Always rain inside me
You'll find me here
Falling like a leaf
When it's very hard to breathe
With all this pain inside
You'll find me here
Trying to believe

Just listened to a little piece of the song, the original voice is not so different from Marian's, I think.


G - O! Let's go!
