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.

Gib Mir Mut
Clueso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gib mir Mut
Gib mir Mut
Gib mir Mut
Gib mir Mut
Zu dem zu stehen
Was ich sage
Sag mir
Was ich sagen soll
Gib mir Mut zu sehn
Zeichen zu verstehn,die sich zeigen
Geballten Fäusten Hände zu reichen
Um am Ende zu beichten
was mein Begehr is zu sagen
Was mich plagt,
auch wenn es schwer is.
Da es tief sitzt mich schmerzt
Obwohls lang her is
Zu sehn das hinter jeden mehr is als sich offenbart
Auch wenn der erste Schein
Offenbar hart gezielt
Wie dart getroffen hat
Frei zu bleiben
Frei zu schreiben
Da Applaus besoffen macht
Mir Kraft gibt die ich brauch'
Was ich in diesem Lied grad offenbar
Gib mir Mut mich zu verändern
Und dabei ich zu bleiben
Auch in schlechten Zeiten zu akzeptieren
Mal nichts zu schreiben
Lieber der Feder weichen um am Ende zu begreifen
Das es sinnlos is Texte zu schreiben
Die nie Qualität erreichen
Zu unterscheiden wer was sagt und wer was macht
Wer am Ende wirklich Freund is'
Und wer nur freundlich lacht
Was es bringt nich' zu glauben
Das es lächerlich is
Nich zuzugeben das man aufgibt weil man schwächer is'
Gib mir Mut nich' durchzudrehn,wenn alle Stricke reißen
Dich Leute heute hypend begleiten
Um morgen auf dich zu scheißen
Mut mehr Vertrauen in andere Hände zu geben
Um eben dicke Kapitel des Lebens zu Ende zu lesen
Gib mir Mut wenn ich auf die Bühne geh
Vor dem Publikum und der Masse steh
Das ich wirklich das was ich erleb erzähl
Und nich anderen Scheiß weil fame der Preis is
Gib mir Mut wenn ich auf die Bühne geh
Vor dem Publikum und der Masse steh
Das ich wirklich das was ich erleb erzähl
Und nich anderen Scheiß weil fame der Preis is
Gib uns Mut, dass wir im selben Takt
Nägel mit Köpfen schlagen
Dass wir Bretter, die die Welt bedeuten
Nicht vor unseren Köpfen tragen
Wenn das Feuer der Maßlosigkeit die Runde macht
Mich innerlich verbrennt wie mein Gewissen wenn ich mich verarsch
Das ich nicht nur nach den Werten such
Eher nach der Würde Ausschau halte
Unbeschwert atmen kann
Sobald ich Auslauf brauche
Stromaufwärts schwimme um die Quelle zu erreichen
Im Guten weichen Stelle
Um mich im Herzen zu bereichern
Gleichermaßen Energie verbrauch
Ressourcen verwalte
Auf Sparflamme schalte
Sobald ich den Fahrplan erhalte
Nich nur verlange
Anstatt mal höflich zu fragen
Sodass ich sag: "Ey gib mir Mut, auf dass ich Mut bewahre"
Gib mir Mut wenn ich auf die Bühne geh
Vor dem Publikum und der Masse steh
Dass ich wirklich das, was ich erleb, erzähl
Und nich anderen Scheiß weil Fame der Preis is
Gib mir Mut wenn ich auf die Bühne geh
Vor dem Publikum und der Masse steh
Dass ich wirklich das, was ich erleb, erzähl
Und nich anderen Scheiß weil Fame der Preis is
Gib mir Mut...
The lyrics to Clueso's song "Gib Mir Mut" are a plea for courage and strength in various aspects of the singer's life. The song starts with a direct request to God for courage to stand up for what he believes in and to speak his mind. He then asks for the bravery to recognize and understand the signs and signals around him, to reach out to others and confess his innermost desires, even if they are painful or difficult to confront. The chorus repeats the phrase "Gib Mir Mut" (give me courage) as a mantra that urges him to remain true to his beliefs and experiences, especially when faced with the temptation of fame and superficial success.
The second verse delves deeper into the themes of self-awareness, trust, and acceptance. The singer admits that it's not easy to distinguish between genuine friends and mere acquaintances or sycophants in the music business. He asks for the courage to be honest with himself and not pretend to be someone he's not, even if it means admitting his weaknesses or failures. At the same time, he recognizes the importance of relying on others and delegating responsibilities, so he can focus on his creative output and personal growth. The final verse adds a more abstract dimension to the song's message, as the singer reflects on the need to balance intensity and calmness, to value dignity over materialism, and to seek harmony within oneself and with the world.
