1.	Eavesdropping 04:00	lyrics	buy track
EAVESDROPPING Oh what places Mr Blue You look up at the hour of need These streets laboured breathing Of the lifes we’re bound to lead These ears that you fear Won’t even hear you cry out clear But eavesdropping is as real As the moon up in the sky Who’ll welcome Mr.Blue Whose laws will shelter you Who will listen anyway Who’ll have faith in you When you’re desperatly trying To make it through the day Eavesdropping is as real As the shivers that you feel Lots of people Mr Blue Feel the same way like you do Make up your mind my friend And you will surely find While we’re talking without words They loose their chance to hurt Eavesdropping lost his might Let’s dance through the night
2.	Stargazer 05:06	lyrics	buy track
STARGAZER What a stargazer am I Love to watch the evening sky Walk out to the fields of green Lose myself into a dream What a bright and starry night Stars are gone but still we see their light What will last from man my love In the whole wide universe above
3.	Not a Game 05:24	lyrics	buy track
NOT A GAME What do you tell yourself in the morning When you wake up an november leaves are falling down All you find you lost any explanation Nothing in your world it seems to rhyme Mist falls down Inside and outside my friend I have to make my move What about tell me what about the game No life it ain’t no game In many ways I’ve tried to kill the pain But the best you find may help you make it through the night When daylight comes it’s all the same You made your move but you didn’t win the game Mist falls down Inside and outside my friend I have to make a move What about tell me what about the game Tell me who has lost the game No life it ain’t no game No life it really ain’t no game
4.	Miles & Miles 05:49	lyrics	buy track
MILES AND MILES Dream pianodrops in the clouds Mix the colours for your ear Wake the spider in your hand Paint a cobweb with your tone Feel the dew on your strings green You made it right, you made it right Travel miles, miles an miles Travel miles, miles an miles On a cool train What a journey in your head Close your eyes and let it flow Plant a daydream in your heart Make it grow man make it grow Becomes a soundtrack of your live You made it right, you made it right Travel miles, miles an miles Travel miles, miles an miles On a cool train
5.	Way Beyond the Moon 06:25	lyrics	buy track
WAY BEYOND THE MOON My blood flows Steady rollin rhythm Into countrysides of fall Last leaves call Spreading fare thee well Point the way ahead Throw the switch No coffee in the afternoon Somewhere out here Where I find myself again Maybe in the right place But still at the wrong time wrong time Talk to me We ain’t no lovers Talk to me What a familiar sound That echoes from the past From a long forgotten space Gentle touch of spring Before my journey without you Where I find myself again Maybe in the right place But still at the wrong time wrong time Like a spaceman who’s lost in space My memories circlin’ round these long gone days Through the haze I wish that I could find Somekind of way to soothe my worried mind Hope you’re doin fine Yes I hope you’re doin fine
6.	Today`s A Rainy Day 03:15	lyrics	buy track
TODAY’S A RAINY DAY Write a song Like it used to be Words come harder When you’re way past fourty three Easily words can be twisted Don’t wanna talk falsely now Everything seems to be said And who am I to try Don’t worry Just take a look inside Step ahead don’t wait For better days to come Don’t you waste your time Or you will soon regret Man you have tolive your life Before your sun will set Watch out for a change in the weather Find out which way the wind will blow Today’s a rainy day Who cares Put on your favorite shirt Don’t hide inside your dreams Try to find the spirit Let’s share and spread it everywhere You can take it for granted It’s up to you you see Give more than take Make this world a better place to be Watch out for a change in the weather Find out which way the wind will blow Today’s a rainy day Who cares
7.	On The Edge 13:48	lyrics	buy track
ON THE EDGE We walk on slippery ground Don’t think twice, no time to pause, lightly sacrifice What men’ s achieved, what our forefathers found Whatever it’s worth, we turn it upside down Is it the life, is it the life that you wanted to live Is this the world, is this the world that you wanted to give Is it the life, is it the life that you wanted to live Is this the world, is this the world that you want for your kids On the edge, on the edge We laugh at an honest man While we worship sharks Everything’s revealed, nothing’s sacred We lost any respect, lost any respect Ain’t it better to give than take Couldn’t it be that modisty proves dignity What Gods you serve can make you feel so strong Wait till mother nature shows you where you’re from Is it the life, is it the life that you wanted to live Is this the world, is this the world that you wanted to give Is it the life, is it the life that you wanted to live Is this the world, is this the world that you want for your kids On the edge, on the edge
8.	Left Bank Blues 04:21	lyrics	buy track
LEFT BANK BLUES I was born on Tuesday 1959 It was a cold night in December Near the left bank of the Rhine I grew up in the flatlands Where time runs slow That’s why we always know Which way the wind will blow Yes and I Gladly testify I love to live The left bank blues my friend I love a soccer team that seldom wins It´s glory days are long time gone Remember Netzers goal against Cologne And wave the flag Green, white and black Yes and I Gladly testify I love to live The left bank blues my friend I was born and raised here Work hard to make a livin’ Try to do my best Justify the loan we’re given Though the stone I’m bound to roll Keeps rollin’ back to me I swear I can’t imagine A better place to be Yes and I Gladly testify We love to live The left bank blues my friends
9.	Hollow 06:09	lyrics	buy track
HOLLOW I came running through a hollow Into mellow evening light All the way from shady groves man Everyday life gets out of sight Forgot myself while I was running Listen to what’s deep inside Seems like the trees around are whispering Ancient words that bear no lie Find out who you are Try to be yourself Find out who you are Try to be yourself There’s a world I find inside me While my feet are moving on Lost in thought a spirit rises I can live by when you’re gone You can still find me running No more chase the same old race Found a different way of running That will help me save my face Find out who you are Try to be yourself Find out who you are Try to be yourself
10.	61 Roadsong 05:41	lyrics	buy track
61 ROADSONG Wait look around you tell me what you see Spend some time and talk to me Can’t you feel what I feel Sun shine rolling home on highway 61 It’s our roadsong Drive on, drive on Drive on, roll home Watch our days roll on by Hard to stand it on your own Hold my hand feels like home Moon shine comin’ home on highway 61 It’s my roadsong

about

Fünf Jahre nach dem Erscheinen ihrer dritten CD "No Matter of Age”, auf dem die kultige Jamrock-Formation Schluff Jull aus dem niederrheinischen Viersen in fast trotziger Manier die permanente Frage nach der Redundanz aus Musikeralter und der Fähigkeit, stilistische Zeitgeist-Strömungen zu verarbeiten ad adsurdum führte und sich stattdessen mehr der Lebensphilosophie eines Mike Bloomfield anschloß ("Die Musik, die Du hörst, wird zum Soundtrack Deines Lebens"), kommt nun mit "Colors For Your Ears" ein Werk, das sich jeglicher Genre-Beschränkungen entledigt. Und dies in einer derart gefühlvollen, harmonischen Weise, dass dem Hörer ohne stimulierendes Beiwerk oder intellektuelles Rüstzeug ein Trip der ganz besonderen Art be
schert wird.
Die mittlerweile 21 Jahre existierende Bigband hat über die Jahre – wie ihre berühmten Vorbilder Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Dave Matthews Band oder The Band - ihre Ideallinie und innere Ruhe im Wechselspiel von Individuum und Kollektiv gefunden. Daher sind ihre Schnittstellen auch zu "jüngeren" Szene-Bands wie Phish, Gov’t Mule oder Widespread Panic bestens besetzt – ja sie besitzen sogar einen wesentlichen Vorteil. Wo sich letztere beispiels-weise für bestimmte bläserunterstützte Song-Schwerpunkte etwa bei der Dirty Dozen Brass Band Hilfe holen müssen, können die Julls all das aus einer gewachsenen Bandstruktur bestreiten.
"Colors For Your Ears" brilliert mit einer großen stilistischen Bandbreite vom Latin-Rock ("Eavesdropping") und Progressive ("Stargazer") über Classic-Rock ("Way Beyond the Moon") und Songwriter ("Today’s A Rainy Day") bis hin zum riffbetonten Rocker ("Left Bank Blues") und natürlich dem knapp 14-minütigen Jamrock-Highlight "On the Edge". Auf genau 60 Minuten haben die acht Schluff Jull-Musiker ihre insgesamt 10 Songs terminiert – bei den Live-Konzerten kann daraus gut und gerne einmal die doppelte Spielzeit werden. Dies ist auch eine besondere Stärke der Band. Sie versetzt den Hörer in eine Art Trance-Zustand, der jedes Zeitgefühl und den Wunsch nach einem "Ende" aufhebt. Wie damals schon bei Grateful Dead: Songs oder Songblöcke von 30 Min. oder mehr waren keine Seltenheit und sind es bei den Julls heute auch nicht.
"Colors For Your Ears" – eine vielfältige, farbenprächtige musikalische Reise für die "Ohren" und für die Seele.

about

Schluff Jull Viersen, Germany

Jamrock from Germany -

"It`s true quality music!" urteilte das Magazin Relix über ihre Songs.

Mit ihrer Mischung aus tanzbaren Grooves, riffbetonten Rocknummern und lässigem Bar-Jazz-Soul beschwören Schluff Jull auf ihren Konzerten magische Augenblicke herauf. Und das in einem Genre, für die normalerweise Bands wie Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers oder The Band die Deutungshoheit innehaben. ... more
