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.

Schreibe dir
Clueso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
und lass Gedanken fantasier'n.
Ich zieh den Vorhang auf, Menschen lachen laut
und fang' an zu balancieren.
Ich stell die Schatten scharf, bring' Licht in diesen Tag
und tanz auf den Dächern dieser Zeit.
Bin der selbe trotzdem fremd für jeden der mich kennt.
Ich sitz einfach hier
ohne einen leisen Hauch
zu wissen, was passiert.
Und ich schreibe dir.
Ich denke mir nichts aus nur nach,
wie ich es formulier.
Umrahm' das Bild in dem ich tauch, mach mir Luft und atme auf
und nehm den Sonnenaufgang mit.
Verträumt mal ich mir aus, wie du jedes Wort durchschaust.
Bewach den Tag mit stolzem Blick.
Leg die Hände auf Papier, Ein Geheimnis ab bei dir
in der Hoffnung, dass du es erkennst.
Ich sitz einfach hier
ohne einen leisen Hauch
zu wissen, was passiert.
Und ich schreibe dir.
Ich denke mir nichts aus nur nach,
wie ich es formulier.
Wie ich es formulier.
Ich sitz einfach hier
The song "Schreibe dir" by Clueso is a contemplative reflection on the act of writing letters to someone. Clueso sings about how he writes his thoughts down on paper with a light pen to create images of his imagination. He further lyricalizes how he shares these reflections with the world by performing on stage, where he unveils the truth behind his thoughts with his audience. However, Clueso admits that despite his openness with the world, no one really knows him intimately, not even those who claim to know him well.
As the song progresses, Clueso confesses his desire to write a letter to someone he cares about, possibly to express his truest feelings to that person. He talks about how he imagines this person reading his letter and reacting to his words. He admits that he spends time carefully choosing his words, ensuring that he formulates his thoughts in a way that reflects his understanding of the recipient.
In essence, "Schreibe dir" is a song about communication, the art of expressing oneself through writing. Clueso's lyrics depict writing as a powerful tool to communicate the nuances of our innermost selves. He encourages the listener to approach writing from an honest and patient perspective, taking the time to carefully choose one's words and express oneself gently.
