Liner Notes

This song had been floating around in my head for months, so I finally used the FAWM motivation to write and record it. Quite happy with the result :)

Lyrics

Original German Lyrics (English translation below):

Ich hoff ich muss nie wieder ein Gitarrensolo hören
Ich hoff ich muss nie wieder ein Gitarrensolo hören
Wie könnt ihr eure Songs denn nur mit sowas so zerstören?
Ich hoff ich muss nie wieder
Nie wieder
Nie wieder

Hohohoho

Sie schreit sie fiept
Sie quietscht sie zerrt
Feedback YEAH
Ich hör den Ton nicht mehr
Die Melodie
Sie scheint so fern
Ich wünscht ich müsste das
Gewichse nicht mehr hörn

Ich hoff ich muss nie wieder ein Gitarrensolo hören
Ich hoff ich muss nie wieder ein Gitarrensolo hören
Wie könnt ihr eure Songs denn nur mit sowas so zerstören?
Ich hoff ich muss nie wieder ein Gitarrensolo hören

Ich hoff ich muss nie wieder alte Männerchöre hören
Ich hoff ich muss nie wieder einen Dubstepremix hören
Ich hoff ich muss nie wieder Fake Patoi Im Reggae hören
Ich hoff ich muss nie wieder
Nie wieder
Nie wieder

English translation:
I hope I never have to hear a guitar solo again
I hope I never have to hear a guitar solo again
How can you destroy your songs with something like that?
I hope I never have to again
Never again
Never again

Hohohoho

It screams, it squeaks
It squeals it tugs
Feedback YEAH
I don't hear the sound anymore
The melody
it seems so distant
I wish I didn't have to
listen to this full on wank any longer

I hope I never have to hear a guitar solo again
I hope I never have to hear a guitar solo again
How can you destroy your songs with something like that?
I hope I never have to hear a guitar solo again

I hope I never have to hear old men's choirs again
I hope I never have to hear a dubstep remix again
I hope I never have to listen to Fake Patoi in Reggae again
I hope I never have to again
Never again
Never again

I'm with you on the guitar solos! The only thing more boring is the drum solos that were so popular a thousand years ago when I was still in school. So glad you were inspired to write a song about them! 😀

@mrsqueeze and @nadine You aren't alone with this. I've never understood the musical point of guitar solos. And me having heavy background in metal, I've endured quite a many guitar solos.

Anyway, this is also quite a beautiful song. Very harmonic, and got a nice flow.

Very interesting and relatable lyrics. I asked myself if I'm the only one who couldn't enjoy 2 minute solos. The endless wait for something to happen. And yet your lyrics could have a sense of "Now you're gone I hope I don't hear stuff that reminds me of you".

I like how the complaint expands in that last stanza to encompass some more elements your narrator/persona doesn't want to listen to. The lyrics feel nicely weighted that way, not static.

Really like the change which comes in around 1:45, reminded me a bit of the Flaming lips. Glad you finally managed to get it down. Thanks for sharing and have a great FAWM
