However, things happened to draw me out of my seclusion and bring me to one of the most exciting cities of Germany. Since then I have lived through the ups and downs of a difficult relationship. I have no idea how things will continue but for time being, I can breathe without sobbing and I hope to heaven it will stay that way.

It is easy to imagine that I am receiving tired sentiments from that tree. To me, it seems ready to pass onwards except that it would like to leave an heir behind, a sapling to carry on its memories ...<br />
<br />

However,it is so dark in the deep forest, that young trees will never get enough light to grow up.<br />
To help the old tree along, I took three of its chestnuts home to raise them and put them into a bowl of wet cotton-wool.<br />

I admit to having had reservations about the gig, simply because I remembered so well the unbearable act of the Mer'a Luna 2013, where Mr Veljanov gave vent to all his dislike of Dark Festivals, just barely managing to be polite to his audience whilst kicking around the requisites of the Festival. <br />
I like him, though ;-)<br />

This time, however, everything was fine and they played almost the complete concert of the live act for Crystal Palace, which is so amazingly different from the album. They even mollified me about not having any members of the string departement with them, and for the first time I actually liked Gone in this new interpretation.<br />

Mr Veljanov was up to high spirits and entertained people with sarky comments about love "It really feels like sh... when it's finished" (followed by Over and Done) and "On the other hand, if love doesn't work in your life, you can always try money. That usually does the trick" (opening the way for "Overpaid", which is one of the songs I've always preferred in Live-Performances, and which is truely stunning in this version)<br />

This time, I went to see and listen to the stunning Michelle Darkness, who has a marvellous voice which can be a perfect double of the diseased Peter Steele, if he so chooses. He once did a full cover of Type O Negative's October Rust ...<br />
For the fun of it, I went to the signing of The End of Green and met plenty of middle-aged goth women, fan-girlying like no good.<br />

Like always, however, his singing was what drew people into his thrall. The mostly loud, hard harmonies, easily dominated by his flexible, powerful voice was as if to show some others how it ought to be done. <br />

Before the gig started, one could spot Ernst listening to some music ... just like the rest of us ... or was he just meditating at the water?<br />

There is no denying his age, by the way ... the way Mr Horn moves does indicatate every one of his sixty-some years ... <br />
This did not, however, stop him from practizing some of his newly developed head-banging during the rocked-up pieces of the show like Overpaid or (funnily enough) Love me to the end.

But I do know that the Macedonian gentleman is very much "into" music in his own right and not "just" a support for the fabled Veljanov voice in the new Deine Lakaien tour.<br />
This time, the live support of Deine Lakaien consists of two Macedonian muscians, both of whom worked together with Veljanov during the making of Porta Macedonia. But Goran Trajkoski has own projects going in Macedonia and writes theatre music as well as having published a new album last year...<br />
<br />
For obvious reasons, I have chosen to link another song in this article: those of you, who recognize it, yes you are right. It is "Mein Weg" of the Veljanov album and both musicians produced the German and the Macedonian version joinedly.<br />

Two dark heroes in casual dress ;-)<br />
</div>
Veljanov allegedly dreams of performing on the Wave Gothic Treffen in Leipzig dressed with a white t-shirt with the logo: <i>Von den linkslibralen Massenmedien gehirngewaschener Gutmensch ..</i><br />
<br />
<i>The gentlemen</i> on stage had a lot of fun . AV was funny, charming, and a little turned up, so that he even threw his towel into the crowd with the comment "must happen one of these days ... or something." (too bad that it smelled just like a freshly washed towel), chatted about his former neighbourgh, and the effects of the heat on people ... he outet himself as a review reader and generally had the whole "Große Freiheit" under his spell .Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17644592320112814395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328721074463513081.post-3614269490558796592014-09-09T20:38:00.002+02:002014-09-10T13:32:35.405+02:00Deine Lakaien Interview in Therapy-TV 2014<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is one of the most bizarre videos I have ever watched with those two:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In an association game, Ernst would think of spontanous things that came to his mind, when asked about Europe, Fear, Love, the Pope; Marriage ("rue"), but Alexander answered each and every question with "Deine Lakaien". Unfortunately, the last association was "Porno" ... and the interviewer prompted Alexander's (apparently inevitable) answer before he could utter it.<br />
This interview is mostly total nonsense - but it is such fun watching ....<br />
Thank you, dreamdancer, for pointing it out.<br />
Enjoy it, everybody <br />

Monitoring the visits on my blog, I am perfectly aware that many of you are waiting for me to comment on the new album. As yet, I haven't done so, neither here nor over on Colourize Forum.<br />
<br />
For one, I am thoroughly disappointed by the dismissal of the strings departement in the Lakaien band. Yes, I know they were only guest musicians, and yes, I also know that a cellist like B.Deutung will probably be expensive. But I so loved the strings. Nevermore, hm? How very fitting.<br />
<br />
The other thing that kept me quiet is my distinct uneasiness with some of the lyrics. Yes, I have watched the documentary on youtube and I applaud the idea. Nevertheless, I spent my last two years being in love with a man who although reaching out for me, would tell me the whole story of "Nevermore" whenever I got too close.<br />
He will never fall again, never love again, never weep again, remain in his dungeon, a half-dead zombie, or pretending to be one ... you listen to the song, and you know what I mean. Maybe I will get over all of this and be able to write on the songs, but not yet, I am sorry.<br />
<br />

On<b> July 11th </b>the new Special CD will be available with the tracks <i>farewell </i>and <i>where the winds don't blow ...</i><br />
The full Deine Lakaien Album Crystal Palace will be released on <b>August, </b><i><b> </b></i><b>8th 2014!</b><br />
According to Ernst, the new album is purely electronically engineered and thus reminiscent of the early albums. There will be 10 tracks plus specials for the single (see above).<br />

The following review of the Ernst Horn performance with Saelde Sanc was written for the colourize forum<br />
<a href="http://forum.colour-ize.com/">http://forum.colour-ize.com</a> by an acquiantance of mine. I am very grateful for this report, thank you!<br />
<br />
Hannah and Ernst took their seats at piano and keyboard. They did not
yet start the concert, though. Teller of tales Leonhard von Hohenlohe
(aka Peter Arschteufel) made the introductions. His story about a young
man and a maiden continued between the songs, leading through the
concert. The songs were mainly unknown to the audience and, as with
Helium Vola, the lyrics mostly in old French, Latin and Middle High
German, and in general not easy to comprehend. So this was a nice and
creative alternative to giving the direct translation of each song. In
the second part of the concert, Peter could also show his qualities as a
bard singing Irish folk songs together with Hannah.<br />
The musical part
began with “Virginis Memoriae” (“Reminiscence of the maiden”), an early
composition of Hannah. The melancholic piece is not without agitation
as you can hear in <a class="postlink" href="https://soundcloud.com/saeldessanc/virginis-memoriae">the interpretation with cello</a>.
Second came the Helium Vola song “Rose am Dorn”. As always with his
songs, Ernst found a very simple but effective solution for the acoustic
version. Hannah had to handle two microphones, one with a lot of echo,
and some effects on the piano (I am not 100% sure but sandwich paper
might have been part of it). This is just another example that there has
to be a Helium Vola concert at one point. “Diu Nahtegal” (“the
nightingale”), Hannah’s latest composition, followed. The development is
clearly recognizable. This song is now available <a class="postlink" href="https://soundcloud.com/saeldessanc/diu-n-htegal-1">online</a>. I was enthralled by this sad song, so I do not recall the complete set list, but part of it were the floating <a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vERmHVXj-E">“Duez, j’aime par Amorette”</a> (“I love for love”), <a class="postlink" href="https://soundcloud.com/saeldessanc/amoris-donat-exitio">“Amoris donat exitio”</a> (“Love brings death”), and <a class="postlink" href="https://soundcloud.com/saeldessanc/der-valche-new-version">“Der Valche”</a> (“The falcon”). The last song was the Scottish <a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T0n9Wrc468">“Charlie is my darling”</a>, a <a class="postlink" href="http://www.rampantscotland.com/songs/blsongs_darling.htm">traditional song</a>
about Bonnie Prince Charlie. Hannah’s attachment for folk music is
recognizable here. Of course, the audience did not let the artists leave
without an encore after this very nice compilation of songs that
created an intimate atmosphere of calm melancholy. After “Palästinalied”
in the Qntal version (<a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_rgySaVOYk">here on the WGT</a>) and <a class="postlink" href="https://soundcloud.com/saeldessanc/des-w-nters-langiu-n-ht">“Des winters langiu Naht”</a> (“Winter’s long night”), however, the concert ended.<br />
Somewhere
I read that the music of Saeldes Sanc is like Helium Vola without
electronics. This is true in view of the fact that Hannah studies
classical voice and is a trained singer as well as for the classical
background. Though parts of the songs linger on, like Helium Vola, this
is not easy listening and no music to dance to. You have to let yourself
get involved with the music and your heart will be full.<br />
If you get
the chance to be in Munich on March 29th, I recommend that you enjoy
this music live yourself. Ernst is announced to support Saeldes Sanc
again and Johannes Nonn, who very recently joined the project with his
viola, will add a new color. Btw. the people with the longest journey to
the concert on last Friday came from Mexico.Ashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17644592320112814395noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328721074463513081.post-58943310303275791262014-02-18T17:15:00.000+01:002014-02-20T11:02:13.062+01:00For the outcasts ... <br />
