Audio Files: Marteria - Second Bedroom [German]

Look at this as, this site further echoing the point that good music and great music videos are still being made. Unfortunately we don't have the heyday of Muchmusic or MTV circa early 90s to point us in the direction of non-U.S. videos, but props to Marteria [no, not Materia]. 

I don't have much I can say about Marteria/Marsimoto or Peter Fox, because I'm still super new to this music. I'm not gonna bulls**t a faux knowledge base. But I will say, according Marteria's wiki, not much is really known about such a popular rapper. So feel free to fill me in on the history. "Danke", in advance.

Aside: There are actual portions of the video that were shot over a time-lapse. Meaning, there were moments while shooting where the subject had to stand absolutely still for an extended period of time. Tough stuff to shoot.

Below are translated lyrics:

From the album THE LUCK IN THE FUTURE Tick Tack. Tick ​​tock - time is running out. The Great Clock does not stop simply to tick on, and sometimes it runs faster - than we all would like. Ten years can there ever be over, as in the blink of an eye. Even not paying attention out there and it's over. Also Marteria has become the "time" very aware. It is with this fact but rather to relax - at least he tried. With "nodding off", the third single from the album "THE LUCK IN THE FUTURE" he takes us a bit of the concerns and fears of the ever-ticking clock, before the ever-running time. There is no reason to fight back, because growing old is now time for life to such as birth and death. Live your life, instead of always thinking of the remaining time. "Do not hold on, do not look back, if you sand trickles through your fingers." Musical support Marteria received in this "timeless" masterpiece by none other than the hit producer "The Krauts", a popular Berlin city monkeys, who recorded his vocal part in a "Lake House" and his old companion "DEAD RABBIT". However, Seeed, the well-known dancehall band from Berlin, contributed a remix. An epochal rocking orchestral sound Marteria offer the perfect sound picture, for his profound texts - a remix of the behind the original does not need to hide.

(Peter Fox)
Tick ​​tock tick tock
Time is short
You are rushed because the clock makes you legs
Containing non-solid, non see through
if you sand trickles through your fingers
Tick ​​tock tick tock
Time is short

(Marteria)
You feel young but life has made you old
You know it every year on New Years Eve
Sorry, you are a part of the youth of yesterday
You see nothing but candles before the cake is no longer
Want to get out into nature and at last calm before the noise
Now you live in a terraced house, for you are will-
The wild times over, the small eyes, big glasses
Though it takes to pass it is, but it is nich so than how it feels to
but as old as you age is.
If you're young, you think that you have everything in front of you
20 out of 30 to 30 what makes you worry.
Once you take a deep breath and forget about time
Once a non-paying attention out there and it is past
For now, life goes on microsleep
you count the days until the next round number
You make allowances and pumps go, but time heals no wounds
because the time threw himself to the dogs

(Chorus-Peter Fox)
Tick ​​tock tick tock
Time is short
You are rushed because the clock makes you legs
Containing non-solid, non see through
if you sand trickles through your fingers
For each river flows into the sea
Let no reason to go defend yourself
Everything glistens in the bright light
Take the wave until the wave breaks

(Marteria)
Ah, wake up from your hibernation
10 years in bulk NEN blink
The successes on the wall in gilt frame
Suddenly, you push 'n Zivi in ​​nem wheelchair through the park
If it's so far is that your skin is shriveled
your body is covered with small brown spots
Do not worry
even if you're running aimlessly through your garden,
See ghosts and call your daughter suddenly Petra Lara
Enjoy your life happy dance into your grave
Every grandma in Berlin hat'n Arschgeweih
I know you have so much before
but slowly you hear that ticking sound in your ear

(Chorus-Peter Fox)
Tick ​​tock tick tock
Time is short
You are rushed because the clock makes you legs
Containing non-solid, non see through
if you sand trickles through your fingers
For each river flows into the sea
Let no reason to go defend yourself
Everything glistens in the bright light
Take the wave until the wave breaks
