Marc Sway - Du (von Nemo)

[@music-fan-75]

Невероятная программа чувст, творчества, музыки и красоты!!!❤🎉😊

[@DramaQueenMalena]

I think it is the best thing I ever saw on TV. But I'm Swiss and Italian. So, that's the only thing I know. But I've been watching TV for more than 50 years now.

Огромное Вам спасибо!​@@DramaQueenMalena

​@@DramaQueenMalenaAre you a Swiss German, like Nemo? 😊

[@DramaQueenMalena]

@papillonbleu7983 Yes. I even do speak the same dialect, the Swiss German from the region of Bern. It's very difficult to understand if you are not Swiss German or have lived here for some time. Greetings from Biel.

​@@papillonbleu7983Mais à Bienne tout le monde parle les deux langues. Sauf Nemo🤣. Mais iel comprend très bien le français et le parle probablement mieux en privé qu'en publique.

I rewatched this one the most, along with Nemo's version of _Ready For The Ride._ So beautiful

Большое спасибо!!!😊

[@DramaQueenMalena]

Thank you. I will translate it in my break at noon.

[@Emily-bg]

Breaks are for resting, Malèna 😊

@Emily-bg I know. But normally I'm doing it on my phone in the evening sitting on the sofa. Yesterday I did it on my computer at work and, of course, it took me a third of the time or even less. I can just listen to it and type it on Standard German - I'm old, I learned to type on mechanical typewriters and we were trained to be fast and accurate - and then translate it with deepl and just correct small things. It's really not that much work.

Translation/Explanation Background information: Marc Sway lost his younger 24-year-old brother in an accident in 2019. He was informed by the police by phone when they found the body. Later in the program, he says that at the funeral, a flock of migratory birds suddenly took to the sky over the lake and flew away. It was autumn. Marius lost his father during the preparation for this program. ----------------------- Dodo: You grew up in Biel, in a very creative family. Your father has an agency called Brainstore. How does that work? Nemo: Brainstore is... not a shop where you can buy a new brain. It's an idea factory, so to speak. You can go to my father with any wish, with any idea. It can be a name for a goldfish... Dodo: Yes, it's a think tank. He and his team will help you find a solution. Nemo: Yes, or an idea. For a product or branding. Dodo: You were there as a child too, weren't you? Nemo: I can't really explain it to anyone. I can't describe how amazingly beautiful this place was. On three floors, in Biel, near the lake, a creative space. There was a reception downstairs with a bathtub in it. In it were notes with ideas. Or once, they had piranhas in it, which is perhaps not such a good thing…for animal rights. They had piranhas. In the bathtub. Just like that. I was like: Were you insane? Then you went upstairs... Dodo: Since then, Nemo has just been travelling like this (gesture with fingers) Nemo: There were different rooms upstairs where people met. Sometimes there were up to a hundred people, depending on the project. There was also a place with a lawn where people could lie down. You could hear birds twittering and read a newspaper with lots of ideas in it. I am so grateful for this place and that I was allowed to spend time there. That I was allowed to be a child there. Dodo: To the next song. It's called ‘Du’. It's actually your biggest hit. Our biggest hit. You received a Swiss Music Award for it. We'll take a look at it. _Video ‘Du’_ Dodo: What you're saying is so true. Nemo: The mum of my girlfriend at the time once said: Hey, you really do lose something all the time. It's really annoying, but you should write a song about it. On the way away from this conversation, the first sentence came to my mind: Ich ha mi Chopf immer irgendwo, irgendwo, woner nid sött si.(My head/mind is always somewhere. Somewhere it shouldn’nt be) And then, it was just like this: What if I lost everything but the people in my life? If people were all that remained. _Video “Du” ends_ Marius: Mmh... That look into the camera! Dodo: Marc, who is the ‘Du’ in your version? (Du means You in German) Marc: I remember the first time I heard this song on the radio in the car. Somehow, it touched me right from the start, but I hadn't realized why. It's a funny story that totally suited you at the time, Nemo. And, um, I chose it because it touched me first and foremost because of the melody. Then you go into this process with the question: Yes, what do I do with it now? And you said today that you were nervous... _Pause, searches for words_ Ehm. I lost my brother. Since then I've always thought: you may lose someone, but that person is somehow still there. I think that's what I wanted to say with this song. So now, I pull myself together and do the song. Dodo: That's kind of wonderful. Someone takes a song that actually has a funny component and then says: It's about my brother who died. Dodo: presents the song ------------------------------- Text adaptation by Marc Sway My head/mind is always somewhere. Somewhere where it shouldn't be. And every time I get up, I wonder where you are now. We've lost you. A voice on the phone trying to explain to me that you've died. Suddenly the pain comes. The incomprehensible grief. But something always stays: I think it's you (repeatedly) Time heals all wounds. But time does not pass. The only thing that fades are the memories of you. We've lost you. A voice on the phone trying to explain to me that you died. And how long will this pain last? How long will the grief last? But something remains forever and I believe it is you (repeatedly). So the day comes when the birds head south. Then I stop and know that you are with me now. We fly away in all my thoughts and I know that the time is now. The right time is now. The day is coming when the birds are heading south. Then I stop and know that you are with me now. We fly away in all my thoughts, we fly away and I know the time is right now: I'm ready now. I'm letting you go. Now I know it's you. (repeated) ----------------------------- Nemo: Hey. Marc put his whole heart into this song and opened himself up to us. Cachita (to Marc): The song went straight to my heart and touched me a lot because it reminded me of my grandfather, who was very important to me. And, ehm. Yes... it was so direct… Eliane: It's an expression of the fact that we're all in the same boat right now. We can all relate and empathize with this story. Nemo: It was a warm and sad feeling at the same time and I don't think I've ever felt that so strongly about a song in my life. --------------------- My opinion: Marc Sway’s and Marius Baer’s voices are two of the most expressive and strong voices of German speaking Switzerland. They did a good job with adapting Nemo’s songs. Songs, Nemo wrote as a teenager. Marc recognized the incredible melody and made it deeper.
