The Very Hairy New Standard
That's the title of the new album. Guess you can figure out the "very hairy new" part.
The covers:
It started with some colourful pictures, made on the day of my son's wedding! Official. A gentleman in black. Well, I came up with the idea of changing the background and after a few experiments I found this picture that grabbed my eyes and imagination. Yes, that's it! A sort of black sun with black hairy rays shining back at me. Or a black planet I'd like to escape from. Sign of the times?
The concept:
I developed this concept further into a new video I'll share with you... later.
The title came up when I, and I guess the whole (98%) wide world, now come to realize that there's a whole new (or is it still the old?), pushy standard happening, trying to change the way we have to treat each other now. I think it's a very hairy one. Is it part of a plan? Who cares?
The whole simple, humane thinking about each other took a very ugly turn in my view the last 5 years. Me and you. Them and us. Mistrust. Anger. Extreme greed. Power. Money. Monopoly. Nationalism. War. Fear.
Me, me, me. Look at me. O, O, I am so emo... Alone on a black planet. Escape. Balloon.
Unbelievable. This is 2026, not the paranoia 1950s! Or is it?
The music:
Tongue-in-cheek. Fun. Yes, very serious.
