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.

Das alte Haus
Clueso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
das alte Haus war so schön.
Hab mich doch schon später mal dort wohnen seh'n.
Jetzt ist da so viel Platz,
Platz für'n paar schöne Ideen,
doch auf dem großen Schild kann man genau das Gegenteil seh'n.
Was macht ihr daraus?
Ihr habt viel Blödsinn gekauft,
der Tag war lang, es ist spät.
Ich glaub, ich bleib noch hier sitzen
bis sich alles schlafen legt.
Ich mag diese Stadt,
nur nicht ganz so gepflegt
und in dem Haus hat sich damals bestimmt 'ne ganze Menge bewegt.
Was macht ihr daraus?
Was macht ihr daraus?
Und was macht ihr daraus?
Und was macht ihr daraus?
Was macht ihr daraus?
The lyrics of "Das alte Haus" by Clueso express a sense of nostalgia and disappointment towards the destruction of a beautiful old house. The singer had envisioned living there someday, but now there is nothing left. Although there is now plenty of space, the sign outside displays the opposite - a reminder of what once stood there. The repeated question "Was macht ihr daraus?" (What will you make of it?) emphasizes the singer's curiosity about the future use of the space.
The second verse alludes to the exhaustion of a long day, and the singer's decision to remain seated until everything quiets down. The city itself is loved, but becomes less appealing when it is not taken care of properly. The singer also acknowledges that the old house had been witness to many events and stories over time. The song ends with one final question, again asking what will become of the space.
Overall, "Das alte Haus" is a reflective piece about the loss of something beautiful and the curiosity of what will come next. The singer's tone is mournful, but also hopeful for whatever the future may hold.
