If you have time take a listen and give 2Sisters some feedback.
Thank you so much for your generous praise. Maybe one day it will be possiblebut at the moment, I simply dont have the time for it. Warm regards, Manuela
This track genuinely caught me off guard in the best possible way. The gritty, distorted guitars hit hard and add a raw energy thats impossible to ignore. Its bold, punchy, and refreshingly unpolished in just the right spots. ...Solid work !!
I'm so happy that our song pleasantly surprised you. Thank you so much for your generous praise. Warm regards, and wishing you a great start to the new week. Manuela
Beautiful production 2Sisters. Bold, big, and soaring. Wouldn't change a thing with this, I knew what was coming before it happened. Sometimes we don't write songs, we tap into something in the ether and they manifest...Great job!
Thank you, my friend. I absolutely agree with you. We are shaped by our experiences and memories. That's what we should draw upon instead of constantly trying to reinvent the wheel. Warm regards, and wishing you a lovely start to the new week. Manuela
Hey little one.
Your voice sounds different here but great as always ...i like the opera oehoehoe .
Music is beautifull , so you and the others created a great track again.
Aye, To Be fairrrrr I started listening when they were still Eskimop Callboy, and Nico had just joined. I did go back and listen to the early stuff. But the mix of Kevin and Nico is incredible, and add to it the humor. Chefs Kiss! My Wife said that because she did indeed like your voice and the song. I have never attended a life show of theirs. I am of the age that if I see a live show, I will be sitting and having drinks served to me. (usually a great band on the downturn) I have seen Blue Oyster Cult, Jefferson Starship (Not the crappy Starship), Hot Tuna, Roxy Music, Zebra, I served Dee Snider of Twisted Sister when I worked at Costco when I was younger, Little River Band, Lou Grahm (Foreigner), The Rosenburgs, Live, P.J. Harvey, Veruca Salt. Clint Black, Wynonna Judd, and many more in my life. So, please tell me in the Scorpions' "Are You the One", and in Electric Callboy's "Neon", they both reference the Phrase "Burn the sky". I have only ever heard that as a German expression. What exactly does that mean?
Warm greetings to your wife as well Im really glad she likes the song! Well, age doesnt pass us by without leaving a mark*smile*. Maybe Ill need a chair on stage for the next live performance *smile*. But no worries Im not planning to do this job for that long. But who knows what the future holds!
As for your question at the end: I looked into it quite thoroughly. Heres what I found in my research:
Burn the sky isnt a standard German idiom, but its a powerful poetic image thats been used by the German artists like Scorpions and Electric Callboy to evoke intense emotion, transcendence, and eternal connection.
Scorpions *We'll Burn the Sky*
Although you mentioned *Are You the One*, the phrase actually appears in *We'll Burn the Sky*, a song written as a tribute by Monika Dannemann (Jimi Hendrixs partner) and later turned into music by Scorpions. The lyrics speak of timeless love and spiritual reunion:
*We'll burn the sky / When it's time for me to die*
Here, burn the sky symbolizes a cosmic, passionate farewelllove so intense it ignites the heavens. Its about transcending death through love.
Electric Callboy *Neon*
In *Neon*, the phrase is echoed in a more modern, emotional context:
We were ready to fly / We were nothing but close to the sky*
While they dont say burn the sky directly, the imagery of being close to the sky and ready to fly suggests a similar emotional highlove or connection so intense it feels like soaring into the stratosphere.
German Expression?
While burn the sky isnt a traditional German idiom like *Da brennt die Luft!* (The air is burning!used to describe a heated atmosphere), it may resonate more deeply with German speakers due to cultural associations with dramatic, elemental imageryfire, sky, transcendence. Its poetic rather than idiomatic.
Yeah. Even made my wife go "who is this" I was almost envisioning you going the Electric callboy route with a massive death thrash bridge, that solo was hot, My only suggestion on that guitar sustain at the end to have it slightly feedback on itself, but otherwise a real banger!
Well, I hope your wife said that because she likes the song smile. I'm truly honored that you compared me to Electric Callboy and even placed us near the dash-trash genrethat's a perspective I hadn't considered before! Are you familiar with Electric Callboy? Did you attend one of their shows during their world tour? Warm wishes, Manuela.
great vocal Manuela, a different tone from you, it rocks, the guys on guitar sound great and Ulli on drums is hard, you sound like a rocker and i love the ooh ooh oohs great production a fine piece i bet it sounds good live too, i do like you on this style,
Hi Paul, Thanks a lot! But for us, its not really a different soundperhaps its just that people dont know us that way on LM. As TrueSister, we definitely have our rockier moments, and you know how we sound live! There are even more songs like this on the album.
Manuela! So what I just heard has got me SPEECHLESS! You guys sound GREAT! From the bands drive to those powerhouse vocals. Again Im SPEECHLESS! So remember me when the crew gets that Grammy! Yep when you give your acceptance speech, I want my shoutout LOL! Awesome production. Have a wonderful week. Peace.
Thank you, Mark! I wont mention you in the Grammy acceptance speech... Because youll be right there with meIll drag you up on stage and shout to everyone: Hey, this is Dr. Jazz, my amazing mentor! *smile*. Wishing you a wonderful and peaceful week! Warm regards, Manuela
It is that fine line between black and white that these lyrics travel us. The musical approach very bold, really rocks and showcases an inner trouth of the composer, the band and the singer. It was beautiful Manuela, really beautiful. Your voice does for us this emotional travel on this line, not dramatic, it is as I told, fearless and brave.
I liked your song guys, my best wishes for your album.

Description : -JUST-IN, BREAKING, NEWSFLASH, BREAKING NEWS
renowned R&B Hip-Hop & Rapper dimestop has shocked the music industry with his latest drop, he's produced and singing vocals on a rock track with Rock Megastar Danke.

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : This song was not supposed to be the fourth track of "Diverse waves", but it finally is. Anyway it's a rock oriented track with some interesting sounds. I hope you like it. Worked in zenbeats DAW, by Roland.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
Description : This track was like the inhale after an exhale of aggressive industrial-electro-sludge tracks that I had put out that summer and fall. This was the more reserved, and introspective winter track. It's nothing spectacular, but I still really enjoy it. I hope you do too. Take care. V.
Description : when i was a kid you could go down and buy acid drops at the dairy - sour boiled sweets....vox, guitars and keys by me. Bass a LM loop by megapaul.
