Good Morning Stefan
A most entertaining and captivating song indeed.
As a relative newbie to BIAB, I was fascinated by the video and the song script, production and final product was absolutely fantastic.
The Intro and the Harmonica, oh wow and the angry Croation! Excellent and this song will always be on my visit list for inspiration

Dear Loren,
what can I say - your unbelievable comment really knocked me to the floor... Thank you so much for that wonderful plaudit. I'm very happy that you enjoyed the song that much and I do hope I won't disappoit you with what I will come up with soon.
Your very kind words mean especially much to me, because I know that you've made a lot of extremely fine tunes and have a lot of expertise.
So thank you very much again and all the best for 2020.
Take good care,
Stefan
PS: Since you asked me to post the full lyrics - here they are:
Just For The Record
In the late sixties there was something in the air,
the smell of freedom, love and peace and the smokes young folks would share..
They thought that they could change the world more than just an bit,
get rid of racism and violence and hate and all that [*****].
Some were Hippies, looking quirky, but their aims were good,
What’s so funny about love and peace and brotherhood?
Some were just fed up by the smugness they felt then,
Wouldn’t toe the line, those ‘angr young men’
Every now and then a little lie may save your day,
but are 12,000 lies within three years still okay?
Instead of wisdom, moral and integrity,
the world is being ruled by sheer insanity.
Yes, times have changed, but not the way we’d thought,
Let’s face the facts: Our plans have come to naught.
Yes, I was one of those angry young men,
Just for the record: Now I am an angry OLD man.
Now I’m not sentimental and I just don’t care
that that Hippie look is gone along with most of my hair.
But I’m missing a few things we thought that we might need
Like equality of all folks despite of color, race and creed.
I’m not keen on living like they lived in the past,
but we’ll have to drop some comfort, if we want the rest to last.
Here’s to all those who think the eath is still on sale:
If you want to go on breathing, better learn to not inhale.
It’s obvious, so you won’t need much intuition:
Hate speech’s become already part of our oral tradition !
If you think ‘My country first and screw the rest!’
Remember sunday school: The first shall be last’.
Yes, times have changed, but not the way we’d planned,
Looks like our dreams were just castles made of sand.
If they think they can screw our lives, just because they can
This is for the record: Now I’m an angry OLD man.
It’s amazing how some guys these days can break the law,
without - figuratively spoken - getting one in the jaw.
All animals are equal, isn’t that what we were told?
Ha, the pigs are still more equal, and that’s all she wrote.
You don’t have to be a commie to know things won’t end well for sure
If the rich are getting richer while the poor foliks just stay poor.
Is changing the perspective really so hard to do?
Just don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do to you.
The latest trend in leadership is a sensation,
Narcissism is the new main qualification.
Empathy and candour are not in demand,
While unscrupulessness and brutality are grand
Yes, times have changed, but in the wrong way
Believe me that I’m getting angrier from day to day.
Let’s all brace up, we need a new plan,
This is for the record: Now I’m an angry old man.
Yes, times have changed, we’re in a mess it seems.
Ain’t it about time to exhume our buried dreams?
Let’s get loud the way that we were then.
We’re lots of angry women and lots of angry old men

Hi WobblyGstring , I had to return to your post even if it were only to write your terrifuc name again...  If you're interestes in any more songs and videos of mine you can find them here: http://www.nachtsheim.de/BJN/BJN-Videos.html.They're sorted according to their release date, and the first ones were still pretty 'normal', but they soon got ... eh ... weirder... If you ever need any info on e.g. a video effect or anything else you'd like to know more about, don't hesitate to contact me. Take care, Stefan

Don't let the [*****] win! Great production, powerful song, not lacking humor, but that's always been the case. Loved it.

Hi Tangmo,
oh no, we won't let them win - at least in the long run. Though things are pretty depressing at the moment...

Man, that's off the hook!
What a great production.
You are quite a talented, creative person.
I've done a few "protest songs" but none....with such fun.
EXCELLENT!

Stefan ...
Wie gewöhnlich verspäte ich mich zur Partei. Aber ich bin erfreut, angekommen zu sein. Als ich in Deutschland lebte, hatte ich einen sehr guten deutschen Freund von Idar Oberstein, wer verrückt ganz häufig wurde. Ich nannte ihn immer einen 'Launischer Alten Bussard'! Er war ein wirklich guter Freund, aber er hatte seine Momente!
Ich liebte das Lied und das Video. Du und Maha sind so talentiert. Das war so viel Spass, um zuzusehen. Ich würde glauben, dass es verlangt, dass sich viele Wochen der Arbeit zum Video versammeln. Aber was ein Vergnügen es für uns Zuhörer ist!
Wir hoffen, dass die Gesundheit von Maha fortsetzt sich zu verbessern. Die Gesundheit von Di ist ein wenig besser.
Wir wünschen Euch alles das sehr gut ist. Sie sind sehr liebe Freunde Di und mir. Am besten Wünsche.
Alan

Alan Dear Alan, once again it was stunning to see how good your German still is - thanks a lot for taking the time and the inconvenience for writing that long e-mail in German. Aside of the fact that these have become terrible times with the worst still ahead I hope that Di and you are in - at least comaparably - good heakth and that you have the chance to stay off the streets as often as possible. We are facing kind of a lockdown over here, but the number of infections nevertheless doubles every three days. If the pandemic doesn't get stopped one way or another soon the world will not be the one we've known until now. Thanks a lot for your very kind and flattering comment on JFTR - I am always especially excited to read your comments !!!!! Maha is still (or again)in a really bad shape these days - sometimes it's hard to not lose optimism but we just have to be patient. My dear friend - Maha and I wish Di and you all the very best from the bottom of our hearts - please stay healthy and keep on delighting us with your favulaous music. All the very, very best, Stefan
