1) S.T.S. is an Austrian band-trio that was founded in 1978 by Gert Steinbäcker, Günter Timischl and Schiffkowitz (also known as Helmut Röhrling ). All three musicians were born in Styria (a state/ Bundesland of Austria). This not only influenced the lyrics of a lot of songs, they also sing their songs in Styrian dialect. All three play acoustic guitar and they sing their refrains in three voices, while the solo-part of the song is, except of some songs, sung alone by the composer of the song. It is believed that the band "Crosby, Stills and Nash" was an important role model for S.T.S. Till now S.T.S. received 13x gold, 8x platin, 2x double-platin and 1x quadruple-platin for their productions. They gained a big part of their popularity and famousness due to the loyalty to their own musical style and their love & passion for live-performances. One of their most famous songs are beneath of „Fürstenfeld“ and „Da kummt die Sunn“: „Großvater“, „Gö, Du bleibst heut Nacht bei mir“, „Wunder meiner Seligkeit“, „Überdosis G'fühl“ and „Irgendwann bleib i dann dort“.

The early years:
All three musicians went separate ways till 1975 and played in several different Styrian and German bands till they first came together to a trio. Gert Steinbäcker and Schiffkowitz sometimes played together before in a loose formation. Later Günter Timischl joined them. A first and short performance was held at the „Forum Stadtpark“ in Graz (the capital of Styria). „Forum Stadtpark“ was a small event at which mainly poets were invited. Shortly after this, they held their first „real“ performance as a band on the 4th of December 1975. Although the band got regional popular, the split up after their alleged last concert in April 1976. However, after challenging years for every member of the band, they came again together in 1978 and finally founded the band S.T.S.

2) STS formerly Sugar Tongue Slim is a keen and clever wordsmith, Atlanta native Sugar Tongue Slim migrated to Philadelphia in 2000 where he infiltrated the underground scene, embracing the concrete urban culture. Dominating across the board from poetry slams to Hip-Hop ciphers, STS emerged with a hypnotic hybrid of southern spiel and northern street say-so. It was just this infectious combination that landed STS the job of co-writing Ciara's 2005 smash hit, "Oh"with renowned producers Andre Harris and Vidale Davis featuring vocals from Ludacris. No novice to the music industry, Slim has collaborated with several established producers including DJ Jazzy Jeff, Ivan Barias, Carvin Haggins, and Kwame. Slim’s buzz worthy catalogue includes collaborations with Charlie Baltimore, Lloyd, Nas, and Mario. He has written for and worked with the likes of Jill Scott, Eve, and Beanie Sigel, just to name a few.

Backed by in-house production machine G.O.L.D. (Gentlemen of Leisure and Development), STS shows no constraints to taboos and exhibits no allegiance to norms. His lyrical wizardry speaks to a variety of topics not excluding social, economic, and political elements. In the frenetically focused "Hustle", Slim declares: "I don't wanna talk unless we talkin' poilitics, dead presidents, or Bush's impeachment/I'm in a jeep tryna fight my own war/We got third world neighborhoods that need some resource." Not sacrificing style for intellectual depth, STS delivers vivid storytelling on "F.A.B.", a raw tale of a calculating woman and edgy party heat over urban bangers like "Look Out Weekend."

Sugar Tongue Slim is a versatile and dynamic lyricist with lightning quick comedic timing who holds a mirror up to the rap game in jest as an honest caricature, but whose mastery and flow places him at the fore of Hip-Hop with the most serious of emcees. His "city slick tongue mixin' with the country grammar" is a fundamental element of the evolution of Hip-Hop. STS is certain to have mass appeal.

3) STS could also refer to the Dutch band Stokken Toetsen Snaren

4) A fourth STS is a solo project from William Rehn of Detroit, Michigan, currently based in Los Angeles California. Solo is a loose reference as Rehn (rain) is accompanied by 15 other musicians on the 2003 release SHOOTING THE SUN.

Beale (bk voc), Michael Mackey (gtr), Tim Gregory (bass), Glen Wood (trumpt),Eric Garcia (bass), Abby Travis (bass), Walt Thompson (keys), Victor Balogh (gtr/keys)

5) Hardcore band from Punxsutawney, PA.

6) STS is a jazz / zeuhl band led by saxophonist Eric Seva, and by a dream rhytmic section composed of bassist Jannick Top (Magma) and drummer Claude Salmieri (Paga Group).

Überdosis G'fühl
STS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Manchesmal, da spür i so a ziehen in der Brust und dann is Zeit
Aus heiter'm Himmel packt's mi und dann waß i, jetzt is wieder amal soweit
Da gibt's gar nix, da brauch i net überlegen, heut muass i mir's wieder geben

Da führt ka Weg vorbei, alles andere is vollkommen egal
Das is ma eh net neu, plötzlich bin i dann total sentimental
Und dann waß i, was i brauch und was i will, i brauch mei Überdosis G'fühl

Dann muss i a paar alte Hadern hören, und muss zu de paar alten Hadern plärren
Rinnen muss das Schmalz und i sag, Gott erhalt's
Schenk mir no a Viertel ein und denk, was sein muss, das muss sein

Mit „Long And Winding Road“, da fang i an und bald bin i bei „Let It Be“
Die Rührung und der Wein steigen mir in's Hirn, jetzt is ka Zeit mehr zu verlieren
„Angie“ und „If You Leave Me Now“, gleich bin i endgültig dran

So geht's bis viertel Viere in der Fruah, bald geht die Sunn auf, i hab no net g'nua
Die Straßn menschenleer, mei Kopf verraucht und schwer
Soviel Bilder, soviel G'schichten, soviel Schmerz und soviel Herz

Jetzt is es um mi g'scheh'n, jetzt heb i ab, jetzt halt mi wirklich nix mehr auf

So is es halt im Leben, manchmal nimmt das Schicksal gnadenlos sein' Lauf
Und i lass mi eini ohne Maß und Ziel, gib mir mei Überdosis G'fühl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to STS's song Überdosis G'fühl describe the experience of a person who feels a pull in their chest, signaling the need for an emotional release. The author describes how there is no avoiding this feeling, and how they have to give in to it. The person becomes sentimental, aware of what they need and want - a dose of emotions. They need to listen to some old songs and cry their heart out. They describe the cathartic experience of music as they sing along to "Long And Winding Road" and "Let It Be." As the night progresses, they move on to "Angie" and "If You Leave Me Now." The author becomes increasingly emotional, the wine and the nostalgia of the music fueling their need for release. They feel the heaviness in their head, but they cannot stop. They know they have to let it all out until they are satisfied, and when they finally do, they feel like they have lifted off - abandoning the weight of their emotions and the bitterness of life.

The lyrics are powerful and convey the importance of emotional release through music. Music has always been a way for people to connect to their innermost emotions and to free the feelings that might otherwise burden them. The lyrics speak to the universality of this experience, as it is something that everyone can relate to. Music helps people connect with their emotions, express their deepest feelings, and find the inner peace they need. The song expresses this beautifully, and the author's personal experience is one to which many can connect.
