Die Lady aus Deutschland mit Gitarre wurde bei „Wonderland“ von Dave Krusen (erster Schlagzeuger der US-Rockband Pearl Jam) am Schlagzeug, Brad Smith am Bass und Christopher Thorn an der Elektrogitarre (Gründungsmitglieder der Alternative-Rock-Band Blind Melon aus Mississippi) sowie Frank Ortegel auf der Elektro- und Akustikgitarre sowie Mandoline unterstützt.
Der Titel des neuen Albums ist Programm und bei den zwölf herausragenden Tracks zeigt sich die musikalische Vielfältigkeit der gebürtigen Kölnerin. Seien es „Love to Laugh“, „Free Your Mind“ oder die kritische Songs „Big Fish“ und „Darkness“. In „Darkness“ werden die ganz persönlichen Eindrücke und Zweifel von US-Soldaten aus dem Afghanistan-Einsatz verarbeitet und für sie stellvertretend die Frage an alle Regierungen gestellt, die ihre Soldaten unter falschen Vorwänden in den Krieg schicken: „Ich halte die Dunkelheit von dir fern, aber würdest du das auch für mich machen?“
Ein ganz besonderes Juwel ist „Cash & Dylan“, das mehr als nur eine Hommage an Johnny Cash und Bob Dylan ist. Bei diesem Song kombiniert Wolfsberg Statements, die die beiden Künstler über den jeweils anderen gemacht haben, zu einem Lied und fügt im Chorus und in der Bridge ihre ganz eigene Liebeserklärung an die beiden ein. Mit gekonnter Raffinesse werden die jeweiligen Zitate über den anderen mit dem für Cash typischen Country-Rhythmus und die für Dylan typischen Folk- und Rock-Rhythmen untermalt. Entstanden ist ein musikalisches Kunstwerk, bei dem man den Eindruck hat, dass Cash und Dylan gemeinsam auf der Bühne performen.
Eine Deutschlandtour von Joon Wolfsberg mit ihren vier US-Bandmitgliedern ist in Planung. Bis dorthin wird Joon mit ihrem Daddy Joe bei mehreren Open-Air Konzerten auftreten.
Tonight
Joon Wolfsberg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause everyday I know they shine. But it's not dark so
I have to wait for the night
'Cause tonight they keep on shining from above.
And all the lights show me the way through the dark.
Everynight I know they'll come. And every night I hope they'll stay
So when it's near I count the seconds down
'Cause tonight they keep on shining from above.
And all the lights show me the way through the dark.
I wanna see the lights how they shine from above.
I only feel fine when I can dance under stars.
So tell me why I have to go. So tell me why I should stay
No say nothing I already know
'Cause tonight they keep on shining from above.
And all the lights show me the way through the dark.
I wanna see the lights how they shine from above.
I only feel fine when I can dance under stars.
