ArTEEtude: Art, culture and the creative mind. Never so close again. - with Detlef Schlich

Episode 146 In this Arteetude podcast, Detlef Schlich performs his campfire version of PURPLE RAIN. Originally written by Prince.

'Purple Rain' was originally written as a country song and was intended to be a collaboration with Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks.

According to Nicks, she received a 10-minute instrumental version of the song from Prince, with a request to write the lyrics, but she felt overwhelmed by the task.

She later said: "I listened to it and I just got scared. I called him back and said, 'I can't do it. I wish I could. It's too much for me.'"

Prince explained the meaning of 'Purple Rain' as:

"When there's blood in the sky – red and blue = purple... purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/god guide you through the purple rain."

The title track of Prince's previous album, 1999, also included similar references to an ominous purple sky ("...could have sworn it was Judgment Day, the sky was all purple...").Purple is also a notable color in religious imagery.

Lyrics

Purple Rain

I never meant to cause you any sorrow

I never meant to cause you any pain

I only wanted to one time to see you laughing

I only wanted to see you

Laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you

Bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover

I only wanted to be some kind of friend (hey)

Baby, I could never steal you from another

It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you

Underneath the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know

I know times are changing

It's time we all reach out

For something new, that means you too

You say you want a leader

But you can't seem to make up your mind

I think you better close it

And let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

If you know what I'm singing about up here

C'mon, raise your hand

Purple rain, purple rain

I only want to see you

Only want to see you

In the purple rain

Episode 145 In this Arteetude podcast, Detlef Schlich plays his campfire version of Don't dream it's over instead of Sinéad O’Connor.

"Nothing Compares 2 U" is a song written and composed by Prince for his side project, The Family; the song featured on their eponymous 1985 debut album. The song's lyrics explore feelings of longing from the point of view of an abandoned lover. In 1989, Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor recorded a version of the song for her second studio album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got (1990).

Performed by Detlef Schlich

Lyrics

It's been seven hours and 15 days

Since you took your love away

I go out every night and sleep all day

Since you took your love away

Since you been gone, I can do whatever I want

I can see whomever I choose

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant

But nothing

I said nothing can take away these blues

'Cause nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

It's been so lonely without you here

Like a bird without a song

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling

Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?

I could put my arms around every boy I see

But they'd only remind me of you

I went to the doctor, guess what he told me

Guess what he told me

He said, "Girl you better try to have fun, no matter what you do"

But he's a fool

'Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you

All the flowers that you planted mama

In the backyard

All died when you went away

I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard

But I'm willing to give it another try

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Nothing compares

Nothing compares to you

Episode 144 In this Arteetude podcast, instead of Neil Finn, Detlef Schlich performs his campfire version of Don´t dream it´s over originally by Crowded House. For Schlich, the performance of this song somehow acts as a catalyst for all the fears that are currently arising, especially from the Ukraine war. He tries to overcome anxiety and depression as well as he hopes listening to this song might the listener help as well remember that he/she is not alone and it is still not over.

Neil Finn has almost always stayed on the edge of clarity with his beautiful and often haunting lyrics. Common interpretations of this classic include fighting depression, struggling to keep a relationship together, the hazards of success, self-doubt and personal courage in the face of adversity.

Crowded House is a rock band, formed in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, in 1985. Its founding members were New Zealander Neil Finn (vocalist, guitarist, primary songwriter) and Australians Paul Hester (drums) and Nick Seymour (bass). Later band members included Neil Finn's brother, Tim Finn, and Americans Mark Hart and Matt Sherrod, with Finn and Seymour being the sole constant members of the group since its formation.

Lyrics

Don´t dream it's over

… There is freedom within

There is freedom without

Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup

There's a battle ahead

Many battles are lost

But you'll never see the end of the road

While you're travelling with me

… Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win

… Now I'm towing my car

There's a hole in the roof

My possessions are causing me suspicion

But there's no proof

In the paper today

Tales of war and of waste

But you turn right over to the TV page

… Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

We know they won't win

… Now I'm walking again

To the beat of a drum

And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart

Only shadows ahead

Barely clearing the roof

Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

… Hey now, hey now

Don't dream it's over

Hey now, hey now

When the world comes in

They come, they come

To build a wall between us

You know they won't win

… Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now)

Hey now, hey now

Hey now, hey now

Don't let them win (They come, they come)

Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now), yeah

Hey now, hey now

Episode 143 In this Arteetude podcast, on behalf of John Lydon, Detlef Schlich performs his campfire version of God Save the Queen by Sex Pistols. Former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon has said it is "tasteless" to endorse requests in connection with the band's punk anthem God Save The Queen after the monarch's death. Lydon, known by his stage name Johnny Rotten, wrote the lyrics to the 1977 hit which was released during the monarch's Silver Jubilee, before being banned by the BBC.

Lyrics

God save the queen

The fascist regime

They made you a moron

A potential H bomb

God save the queen

She's not a human being

and There's no future

And England's dreaming

Don't be told what you want

Don't be told what you need

There's no future

No future

No future for you

God save the queen

We mean it man

We love our queen

God saves

God save the queen

'Cause tourists are money

And our figurehead

Is not what she seems

Oh God save history

God save your mad parade

Oh Lord God have mercy

All crimes are paid

Oh when there's no future

How can there be sin

We're the flowers

In the dustbin

We're the poison

In your human machine

We're the future

Your future

God save the queen

We mean it man

We love our queen

God saves

God save the queen

We mean it man

There's no future

In England's dreaming God save the queen

No future

No future

No future for you

No future

No future

No future for me

No future

No future

No future for you

The Sex Pistols were an English punk rock band that was formed in London in 1975. Although their initial career lasted just two and a half years, they are one of the most groundbreaking acts in the history of popular music. They were responsible for initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom and inspiring many later punk and alternative rock musicians. Their fashion and hairstyles were a significant influence on punk image, and they are often associated with anarchism within the music.
