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.

Landstreicher
Clueso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Weiß bescheid und kenn mich aus
Ich bin nichts weiter als 'ne Schildkröte
Trag seitdem ich denken kann auf meinem Rücken mein Haus
Immer auf Mission
Irgendein Ziel
Irgendwas zu tun
Ich hab Löcher in meinen Hosen
Und Risse in meinen Schuhen
Leg mich ins Gras
Esse einen Apfel unter einem Baum
Um mir das, was ihr Erfolg nennt
Aus der Ferne lerne anzuschauen
Durchquere deine Stadt
Nimm's mir nicht übel, wenn ich deine Lady grüße
Lauf in Gedanken bis zum Stadtrand
Und dann immer tiefer in die Wüste
These lyrics from Clueso's song "Landstreicher" depict the perspective of a wandering and free-spirited individual. The first verse emphasizes the singer's broad experiences and knowledge, indicating that they have been almost everywhere and are well-informed. They compare themselves to a turtle, symbolizing their habit of carrying their home on their back since they can remember. This suggests that they have always been independent and adaptable in their lifestyle.
The second verse conveys the singer's constant pursuit of purpose and goals. They are always on a mission and describe themselves as having holes in their pants, nothing in their pockets, and tears in their shoes, symbolizing a lack of material possessions or wealth. However, this does not deter them from their journey. They find solace in lying in the grass, eating an apple under a tree, and observing success from a distance. This signifies their detachment from the conventional definition of success and their ability to find contentment in simplicity.
The third verse portrays the singer's exploration of various cities. They politely greet someone's lady (possibly referring to a romantic partner) while running through their thoughts until they reach the outskirts of the city. From there, they venture even deeper into the desert, suggesting their willingness to venture into the unknown and embrace solitude. This could symbolize their continuous search for personal growth and self-discovery, unbound by societal expectations or constraints.
Overall, "Landstreicher" serves as a hymn to the free-spirited individuals who choose to live life on their own terms. The lyrics emphasize a rejection of materialism and conformity, advocating for a simpler and more introspective lifestyle. It encourages embracing the unknown, appreciating the beauty of nature, and remaining open to new experiences, even if it means deviating from the path prescribed by society. Ultimately, it celebrates the freedom that comes from following one's own inner compass and finding fulfillment outside of conventional notions of success.
