Alongside Attwenger he is considered as one of the most influential heads of the "Neue Volksmusik" (lit. "New Folklore Music") movement.
He became famous as Hubert von Goisern und die Alpinkatzen.
After this very successful setup split by the end of 1994,
HvG produced two world music CD with musicians from Tibet and Africa.
In 2000 he made his comeback with a new band and the album "foen".
The studio album "iwasig" was recorded after the tour and released 2002.
A personal project first, but due to the big success of the first "Trad" CD,
soon "Trad II" followed. Both feature original austrian folk songs.
The latest and biggest project is the "Linz Europe Tour 2007-2009".
Travelling on an adapted cargoship, fully equipped with a stage,
the journey went east first and then will head west.

Hubert Von Goisern Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She comes to me with sweet affection.
Wakes me with kisses: Hello
sleepyhead!
And gets me moving in the right direction.
I do my best to give her love that lasts forever
Doing it all for my baby
Because she's as fine as she can be.
I'm doing it all for my baby
For everything she does for me.
Later in the evening it's been a busy day
She lays her head upon my weary shoulder.
Listen to her laughing
snuggle up and say:
Now I'm with you
baby
your loneliness is over.
I do my best to give her love that lasts forever
Seem like everything I do I'm doing better.
Doing it all for my baby
. . .
Doing it oll for my baby
. .it

Doing it

Doing it

Doing it - doing it
doing it - doing it

Doing it - doing it

The song "Oben und Unten" by Hubert von Goisern is a love song that expresses the devotion of a man towards his beloved woman. The lyrics start with him being in bed early in the morning with his girlfriend coming to him with kisses, waking him up and getting him moving in the right direction. He describes how he does everything he can to give her love that lasts forever and how everything he does, he's doing it better, all for his baby because she's as fine as she can be.
Later in the evening, after a long day, she lays her head upon his weary shoulder, and he can hear her laughing, and he snuggles up with her and tells her that now he's with her, her loneliness is over. The lyrics again reiterate how he does everything he can to give her love that lasts forever, and the chorus repeats about how he's doing it all for his baby for everything that she does for him.
The song captures the feeling of being in love and wanting to do everything possible for the person you love. It speaks to the selflessness and devotion that love inspires, and the simple pleasures that come with being with the one you love.

Ein Traum von einem Lied! Super Rhythmus, Melodie und Text. Irrsinnig gut gemacht und abwechslungsreich. Das ist eines dieser Texte, wo einem am Ende das Lachen im Hals stecken bleibt – weil es so nett und unschuldig anfängt, und gegen Ende immer eindeutiger ernst wird… Ich liebe es!
