In 2002 Clueso moves back to Erfurt and records the Rowdy-Club-Tape 2002. Another year later he starts producing his second album "Gute Musik" (featuring Blumentopf, Steer M, Tilmann Jarmer, Delhia, Tim Neuhaus and Jürgen Kerth), which was be finished by 2004. It does not contain any English tracks and concentrates on singing rather than rapping. In 2005 Clueso represented Thuringia with the song "Kein Bock zu geh'n" at the Bundesvision Song Contest. The same year he was partner of Start Ab, the 'biggest non-commercial remix contest in Europe'.

In 2006 Clueso released his third album called "Weit Weg" which means "far away". Again the album was relased by Four Music. The album is changing mood and style contiuously. It varies between influences of chilled pop, soul, funk and reggae.
Over the last two years Clueso toured with his band. They played over 120 club and festival gigs with a total crowd of 300,000.
On the album Clueso joined forces with the likes of Max Herre (former lead singer of Freundeskreis), Flowin'Immo, New Telephatics and Razkajam.
Ralf C. Mayer who also had produced "Gute Musik", the forerunner of the current album, and artists like Xavier Naidoo and Die Fantastischen Vier helped Clueso to find his sound, from sounds of whisper to grolling bitter thunder.
Clueso is truly one of the future stars in Germany as he is focused, talented and lucky enough to find a channel for his passion.

Bescheid
Clueso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
den fährt er im Schlaf.
Er hatte gute Ideen,
doch die warn niemals gefragt.
Ich glaub jetzt ist es egal.
Er hat sich nie offenbart.
Jetzt geht da nix mehr.
Da geht gar nix mehr.
Jetzt geht da nix mehr.
Da geht gar nix mehr.
Doch keiner sagt "so das war´s".
Jetzt ist da nix mehr.
Doch keiner sagt "so das war´s".
Da ist gar nix mehr.
Doch keiner sagt "so das war´s".
Sein Frühstück wird kalt,
und die Stimmung gereizt.
Sie leben zu zweit.
Doch aneinander vorbei.
Er hat das Gefühl,
sie stiehlt ihm die Zeit.
Jetzt ist da nix mehr.
Da ist gar nix mehr.
Doch keiner sagt wem bescheid.
Jetzt ist da nix mehr.
Da ist gar nix mehr.
Doch keiner sagt wem bescheid.
Wer sagt wem bescheid?
The song "Bescheid" by Clueso deals with the theme of feeling stuck in life and not being able to express oneself. The first verse describes a man who drives to his job on autopilot, having had good ideas that were never acknowledged. The repetition of "da geht gar nix mehr" (there's nothing happening anymore) emphasizes his stagnation in life, with no one acknowledging or taking notice of his struggles. The lack of communication is highlighted by the line "doch keiner sagt 'so das war's'" (yet nobody says "that's it"), showing how the man's efforts are not recognized and appreciated by his workplace.
The second verse shifts the focus to a strained relationship, with breakfast turning cold and both partners living separate lives. The man feels as though his time is being stolen from him, and he is unable to express his frustration. The chorus repeats the same sentiments, with the added question "wer sagt wem bescheid?" (who tells whom). This line highlights the theme of communication, with no one talking about their feelings or being able to express themselves truthfully.
In summary, "Bescheid" is a melancholy reflection on the challenges of feeling trapped and unheard, both professionally and personally. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the sense of frustration and disconnection, with no resolution or communication in sight.
