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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
und stell' ma vor wie's jetzt mit uns wär'
åber denken kånn ma si' fåst åll's
nur går nix denken is so schwa
draussen bliahn die schensten bleamön
summer is' schon lång
nur in mir drinn' liegt da schnee no'

nur weh toan tuats au fjeden fåll

und I sag dånn, dass eh all's passt

nur nit herzoag'n, dass wås weh tuat,
dass I si' no' liab

The lyrics to Hubert Von Goisern's song "Weh toan tuat's ma auf jeden Fall" portrays the singer's struggle to move on from a failed relationship. He often reminisces about their past together and wonders how things would be if they were still together. However, he acknowledges that dwelling on these thoughts is difficult and won't change anything. The beauty of the outside world in contrast to his inner pain is also mentioned in the lyrics, where the summer is long gone, and all that's left inside him is coldness and fear.
The singer also talks about how his friends ask him about his well-being and how he assures them that everything is fine, even though he struggles to accept the truth. He admits that it's hard to let go of the pain and that he still loves this person, but he doesn't want anyone to know except himself. The last two lines imply that he doesn't want to be heartless and hurt anyone else, but if someone were to notice his pain, he wouldn't deny it.
In summary, the song expresses the difficulties of moving on from a past relationship, the pain, and the constant struggle to come to terms with it.
