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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I bin in irgendeiner Bucht g'leg'n
Die Sunn wie Feuer auf der Haut
Du riechst des Wasser und nix is laut
Irgendwo in Griechenland
Jede Menge weisser Sand
Auf mein' Rueck'n nur dei Hand
I hab das Lebensg'fuehl dort inhaliert
Die Gedanken drah'n si um
Was z'Haus wichtig war is jetzt ganz dumm
Du sitzt bei an Olivenbaum
Und du spielst di mit an Stein
Es is so anders als daheim
Und irgendwann bleib I dann durt
Lass' alles lieg'n und steh'n
Geh' von daheim fuer immer fort
Darauf gib' I dir mei Wort
Wieviel Jahr' a noch vergeh'n
Irgendwann bleib I dann durt
In uns'rer Hektometik-Welt
Dreht si' alles nur um Macht und Geld
Finanzamt und Banken steig'n mir drauf
Die Rechnung, die geht sowieso nie auf
Und irgendwann fragst di' wieso
Quael I mich da so schrecklich o
Und bin net laengst schon was Gott wo
Aber noch is' net so weit
Noch was zu tun befiehlt die Eitelkeit
Doch bevor der Herzinfarkt
Mich mit vierzig in die Windeln prackt
Lieg I schon irgendwo am Strand
A Bottle Rotwein in der Hand
Und steck die Fuess in' weissen Sand
Und irgendwann bleib I dann durt
Lass' alles lieg'n und steh'n
Geh' von daheim fuer immer fort
Darauf gib' I dir mei Wort

The song "Irgendwann Bleib I Dann Dort" by STS talks about the singer's experience during his last summer in Greece. He talks about lying in a quiet cove, feeling the warmth of the sun on his skin, and smelling the ocean. He mentions how being there made him forget all of his worries and he enjoyed the simple things in life, even playing with a stone under an olive tree. The song portrays the stark contrast between the peacefulness of the beach in Greece and the chaotic, materialistic world back home.
Towards the end of the song, the singer expresses his desire to stay there forever and leave his life behind in exchange for the tranquility of Greece. He mentions the struggles of everyday life, including dealing with the bureaucracy and the pressure to succeed at all costs. He emphasizes the importance of valuing one's own happiness over material possessions and societal expectations.
"Irgendwann Bleib I Dann Dort" is a powerful commentary on the pressures of society and the need for simplicity and peace. It encourages listeners to prioritize their happiness and well-being above all else, recognizing the beauty in life's simple pleasures and finding a way to escape the stresses of everyday life.
