Wer kennt das nicht - sobald man auf der Bühne steht, klappt einfach gar nichts mehr. Und noch schlimmer ist die Angst davor! Aber wie Wolfgang Niedecken schon (sinngemäß) sagte: "Wenn ich vor einem Auftritt nicht mehr nervös sein sollte, höre ich auf zu singen". Und wenn das Publikum dann mitsingt, ist sowieso alles wieder gut.

I am failing
TTTO: I am sailing (Rod Steward)
Text: Daniela Festi (2015)
I am failing, I am failing
Not again!, on the stage
I am failing, missing high notes
And I've messed up "sie ti-aitsch"
I am lying, I am lying
When I'm singing: "I feel good."
But I'm smiling through my failures
And I'm acting as I should
I am shaking, I am shaking
I'm so nervous that it hurts
I have nightmares of performing
And I'm running out of ...
Can you hear it? Can't you hear it?
How I just forgot a verse?
I am dying, forever trying
While it all gets even worse.
Can you hear it? Can't you hear it?
How I just repeat a verse?
I am dying, forever trying
While it all gets even worse
-- Solo (OMG!) --
We are failing, we are failing
Not again! All is wrong
But the people in the audience
They still love and sing the song
Oh Lord, they still love and
Sing this song
Oh Lord, they still love and
Sing this song
