| Info | Unser absoluter Schnellschuß - das Lied wurde erst kurz vor den Aufnahmen im November fertig: am 09.10.2007 hatte ich auf meinem Diktiergerät spätabends die zweiteilige Akkordfolge festgehalten, die auf einer leicht veränderten Gitarrenstimmung (EGDGHE) aufbaut. Zwei voneinander unabhängige Textfragmente aus meinem kleinen "Büchlein" (eigentlich eher eine Computerdatei) vom November 2006 ("Nothing Last Forever ...") und vom Februar 2007 ("If You Were A Singer ...") wurden grob zusammengestrickt. Am 14.11.2007, abends im Zimmer 511 eines Nürnberger Hotels, war der neue Text dann komplett. Am darauf folgenden Montag haben wir das Lied erstmals geprobt und am Samstag, den 24.11., morgens unmittelbar vor der Aufnahme, hat Jo den Text nochmal sprachlich überarbeitet. Den Untertitel des Liedes konnte ich mir nicht verkneifen: da gibt es z.B. ein schönes Lied von Tim Buckley: "Love From Room 109 At The Islander On Pacific Coast Highway". Ausserdem hiess die damals neue - und inzwischen wohl schon wieder vergessene - Popstars-Casting-Band "Room 20 12" oder so ähnlich. Und dann gibt es da auch noch was in der Art bei Tokyo Hotel ... Leider hat unsere 2007er-Studioversion live nie so wirklich funktioniert. Weil uns "das Lied als solches" aber an's Herz gewachsen ist, arbeiten wir seit Februar 2013 an einer neuen Version, die wir auch aufnehmen wollen: "Tattler 2.0" sozusagen. |

If you were a singer
And I a little song
Would you keep on singin'
Until we get along?
And if you were a river
And I a little boat
Would you keep on flowin'
Until we reach the coast?
You say: “Nothing Lasts Forever
And Nothing Ends At All”
I say: “You’re acting like a shining light
But would you help me when I fall?”
If you were a painter
And I the colour blue
Would you keep on painting
Until you see me through?
If you were the winter wind
And I am walking through the snow
Would you keep on pushing me
To the end of the road?
You say: “Nothing Lasts Forever
And Nothing Ends At All”
I say: “You’re acting like a shining light,
but would you help me when I fall?”
If you are a hunter
And I am just a prey
Won’t you keep on stalkin’ me
Or let me run away?
And if I am a believer
And you are just a lie
Would you still play tricks on me
When we see eye to eye?
You say: “Truth gets overrated,
same with honesty”
I say: “You’re acting like a tattler,
so please don’t talk at me”
And I a little song
Would you keep on singin'
Until we get along?
And if you were a river
And I a little boat
Would you keep on flowin'
Until we reach the coast?
You say: “Nothing Lasts Forever
And Nothing Ends At All”
I say: “You’re acting like a shining light
But would you help me when I fall?”
If you were a painter
And I the colour blue
Would you keep on painting
Until you see me through?
If you were the winter wind
And I am walking through the snow
