The revolution deserves a catchy soundtrack.

”Not made to last” is a song I wrote to help raise awareness about one of the many flaws of the global monetary-market system: ”Planned obsolecense” – or ”why products are not made to last”.

We are thrashing the planet and we really need open our eyes and start doing something about it. A change is due. However, I’d much rather bob my head through the revolution than angrily shake my fist. This song is a humble contribution to a peaceful evolution of our socio-economic system.

Social and political pop, with an intentional and accentuated melodic sharp edge.

And it's intending to sting our consciences, for a problem very hard to counteract. Of course that the health of our planet and ultimately our own, deserves all possible efforts in the persecuting of a better future. And what a better way to do it, than through the apparent simplicity of a very captivating pop song, with a nice sound, in order to reach to a large number of people. Yep... what a waste... things are really not made to last. So, for the sake of our children if not for ours, why not contradict that tendency starting right now with this song.

Очень серьёзная работа, по-настоящему профессионально. Но главное тут текст. Если знаешь о чём эта песня - она становится гимном.
Faldrian

Ein toller Song mit tiefsinnigem Text

Es ist nicht nur ein wunderschöner Gitarrensong, sondern der Text verdeutlicht auch, warum Handys immer nach 2 Jahren kaputt gehen (zum Vertragsende) oder Drucker auf jeden Fall nach Ablauf der Garantie auseinanderfallen. ;)

Warum klingt dieser Song so fröhlich?

Ein fröhlicher Song über die Gefahren der globalen Finanzmärkte? Klingt paradox, wo man bei dem wirtschafts- und finanzpolitischen Schwachsinn doch eigentlich Bestattungsmusik angebrachter wäre. Aber egal: Einfach toller Song!

Révolution en douceur...Est ce possible? Il est certain que le système actuel est obsolète. Mais il nous reste la musique et de très bons compositeurs et interprètes.
