Bosses at “Sing my song”: Music format is a “beautiful extreme situation”

From April 22nd it says again: “Sing my song!” As usual, Johannes Oerding (43) invites various artists in the twelfth season of the exchange concert (on Tuesdays at 8:15 p.m. at VOX, also) as usual. This time there are singer-songwriter bosse, Mia. front woman Mieze Katz, singer Madeline Juno, rapper finch and clockclock singer Boki. Michael Patrick Kelly, who already acted as a host, also returns as a candidate. As a special guest, the Fantastic Four appear in an episode.

It starts with the consequence of Bosse’s music (45). The musician had to cancel the format several times for scheduled reasons, he says in an interview with the news agency Spot on News. Now he is finally there and has experienced one goosebumps moment after another. The 45-year-old is currently a special time anyway: he celebrates his 20th anniversary and has released a new album and a new single. How he did at “Sing my song” why he only slept in South Africa for four hours and what tip he would give his younger I would reveal in an interview.

Bosse: I always thought the basic idea was great: you give other musicians the gift of their own song interpretation and find together despite various music styles. So far it hadn’t fit because I am mostly on tour during the shooting period. I also wanted to achieve my musical dreams without television aid. The request came back last year – and this time it fit. When I heard that kitty participates, it was finally clear: then I do it too. We like ourselves.

Bosse: I never started as an interpreter – I have a lot about the story in the text and it is less about great singing. Everyone else – except maybe Finch – are insane singers, so it was quite exciting for me to sing foreign songs. I changed a lot and tried to make Bosse songs out of the songs.

Bosse: I hardly knew Finch and his music before. I once met him at a festival – I found him very nice. We had a connection through our common origin from Brandenburg. That’s why I chose a song from him about his childhood and wrote it on. So the text was right – but musically it was super -exciting: How do I get it into my world now? But in the end it is like this: a good melody is a good melody. And Finch definitely has it.

Bosse: There are intensive filming. But we were together all the time. You get to know each other, immerse yourself in the stories of the others and find common denominator. This is a nice extreme situation in which you have to do a lot in a very short time. I slept three or four hours a night. I spent the rest of the time with the others.

Bosse: You arrive there and everything is overwhelming because it is super beautiful on site. I immediately felt that we are a great round that there are no idiots. We got on well from second one, despite our various musical orientations, we were totally respectful and really liked. With such a mixture, it is easier to open up.

Bosse: I found the appearance of Mieze incredible. I have been a big Mia fan for 20 years and saw its first concert in Berlin. It was already Strange: I sit there and then mieze smashes a song from me – and I think: blatant, that means so much, and the song also means so much to me. I’m a fan for so long – and now she is there and sings my song. That was a good moment. But honestly: all versions were really strong because all of their stories and connections had to my songs.

Bosse: When I started, I didn’t go out of anything. Over the years I have worked out my teenbucet list quite well: For example, I wanted to play at Rock am Ring and once at the Hurricane Festival-I have now done that a few times. Sitting there after 20 years and remembering the past two decades was nice. At the same time, I think there is still a lot to tell and sing, so continue to the next 20 years!

Bosse: The only tip I have would be: relax a little – everything will somehow.

Bosse: The songs reflect different phases of life. A song like “3 million” feels very far away today, relaxed in Hamburg at the kitchen table – this loss, fall wrong, do not know where up and down is little daylight, lots of night. With the growth, the phases of life and the lyrics also change.

Bosse: I write a record about neuralgic points in life – situations in which you sort yourself up and see how it goes on. I found “the past” very much for the show. It’s about letting go and accepting that there is no back – and that life continues. So the future instead of nostalgia.
