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.

Mach Mich Zum Wächter Deiner Weiten
Clueso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mach mich zum Horchenden am Stein
Gib mir die Augen auszubreiten
Auf deiner Meere einsam sein
Lass mich der Flüsse Gang begleiten
Aus dem Geschrei zu beiden Seiten
Weit in den Klang der Nacht hinein
Schick mich in deine leeren Länder
Wo große Klöster wie Gewänder
Um ungelebte Leben stehen
Dort will ich mich zu Pilgern halten
Von ihren stummen Ohren gestalten
Durch keinen Trug mehr abgetrennt
Und hinter einem blinden Alten
Des Weges gehen den keiner kennt
Mach mich zum Wächter deiner Weiten
Gib mir die Augen auszubreiten
Mach mich zum Wächter deiner Weiten
Mach mich zum Horchenden am Stein
Gib mir die Augen auszubreiten
Auf deiner Meere einsam sein
Lass mich der Flüsse Gang begleiten
Weit in den Klang der Nacht hinein
Gib mir die Augen auszubreiten
Auf deiner Meere einsam sein
Mach mich zum Wächter dienr Weiten
The lyrics of Clueso's song "Mach Mich Zum Wächter Deiner Weiten" speak to a desire for freedom, exploration, and a connection with the vastness of the world. The singer longs to become a guardian or protector of the expansive landscapes that surround them.
In the first verse, the singer asks to be made a guardian of these vast spaces, suggesting a yearning to be responsible for safeguarding their beauty and preserving their essence. They also express a desire to become a listener or observer, paying close attention to even the smallest details, symbolized by being "Horchenden am Stein."
The second verse continues with the singer asking for the ability to perceive the world in a wider scope, using the metaphor of spreading their eyes to take in the vastness of the sea. They yearn for the experience of solitude amidst the vastness of the ocean, suggesting a desire for introspection and connection with nature.
The third verse presents the singer wishing to accompany the flow of rivers, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for following the unpredictable journey of life. They seek to immerse themselves in the chaos and noise of existence, indicating a desire to fully embrace all aspects of life, including its contradictions and uncertainties.
In the fourth verse, the singer desires to explore vacant and uncharted territories, where abandoned monasteries serve as symbols of unfulfilled lives and missed opportunities. They express a desire to be shaped by the silent ears of the pilgrims who have gone before them and to break free from the confines of deceit and falsehood. They wish to walk behind someone who is blind but knows a hidden path, symbolizing a willingness to trust a guide who may not be able to physically see but who possesses wisdom and insight.
Overall, the lyrics convey a longing for a deeper understanding and connection with the world around them, a desire to embrace solitude and introspection, and a yearning for exploration and growth. It speaks to the universal human pursuit of meaning, authenticity, and a sense of belonging within the vastness of existence.
