The new, second album "Lights and Shades" leads Richtaste to the next level of Rock'n'Roll. "It makes me proud to hear the songs today and think about their origin" says singer and songwriter Stefan Fankhauser. And with a sasy grin on his face he adds: "Our sound has more balls than before!" Before, that was when Richtaste came out with their debut. "Our expectations were not met," admits Fankhauser and relates also to support as well as the implementation of their musical ideas.
"We were busy with the production for so much time, that we already were filled up to the top with new ideas when releasing." These were now implemented on "Lights and Shades". 14 Tracks were recorded together with Pat Aeby (Ex-Krokus) in the triangle Nidau-Lausanne-Oppligen; 14 tracks that mean at least one step forward for Richtaste. Unapologetically the five now dare to face also critical issues. Richtaste know that light and shadow in the real world are as close together as in the show business. "Supermen" i.e. simply states that at least a dozen bluedressed superheroes is needed to save the planet before the impending demise. And "Rocket Tom" deals with the question of what drives a man to spend the nights slaughtering anything that moves in a shooter-game using a pseudonym.
All wrong if you now come to think Richtaste was a melancholic Depro band. "Well, of course we ask critical questions," said Fankhauser, "but I think that we always found a positive approach." Just as in real life: Who hangs his head, loses the orientation and eventually turns in circles. This danger does not exist for Richtaste. The guys are walking their way with too much fire and drive. "We have tried a lot and have learned a lot," says front man Stefan with conviction. "Nevertheless, we wanna play, play and play again, and try to thus get our songs to the people." And with "lights and shades" they have convincing arguments in hand for convincing the people about themselves. Experience shows that the Swiss know how to convince on large stages as just as well as in small rural pubs. In short: Richtaste are ready for the next level.
Do You Really
Richtaste Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You never were the reason when I was down
All the things you expect me to do
I don't do them for you
I never carved a heart in a tree
You never played a star role in my dreams
All the things, that make me feel sad
Do you really
Do you really know me
Do you really
Do you really trust me
Do you really
Do you really need me
Do you really
Do you really think I'm in love with you
I never wanted a nice tattoo
With your name or the initials of you
In all the novels I wrote about love
There is no chapter dedicated to you
Do you really
Do you really know me
Do you really
Do you really trust me
Do you really
Do you really need me
Do you really
Do you really think I'm in love with you
Don't blame me but sometimes I've got another face
So, why do you think that I found the right place
In "Do You Really" by Richtaste, the singer is reflecting on a relationship where the other person expects certain things from them, but the singer doesn't do those things to please them. The lyrics suggest that the singer has never gone out of their way to show affection or make grand romantic gestures like writing the other person's name in the sand or carving their initials into a tree. Despite this, the other person seems to believe that the singer is in love with them and trusts them completely. However, the singer questions whether the other person really knows them and whether they truly need or love them.
The song is a commentary on the expectations and assumptions people often have in relationships. It highlights the idea that just because someone doesn't express their love through grand gestures, it doesn't mean that they don't love or care for the other person. Additionally, the lyrics suggest that trust and love should be earned and not assumed.

Every interview is just Noah trying to get Millie's attention and Millie trying to get Finn's. While Finn is sitting there looking confused all the time 😂

I always thought it was because Noah and Millie are such good friends she doesn’t want Finn to feel left out.
