Rock Andreas Kloppenburg
Somebody Help Me - Yana Smutina & Andreas Kloppenburg

My first collaboration with the very talented Yana Smutina.

After listening to her music and reading the permanent collab-invitation on her page, I asked her if she would be interested to do a collab with me. She agreed … a few weeks later LOL.

I thought, “Somebody Help Me” soundcloud.com/yana-smutina/so...ds-yana-smutina would be great stuff to create a Rock ballade from.
Yana agreed again and send me the track stems, so I was able to add my spices to it.

It was a pleasure to work with her. She always gave me great constructive feedback - what was great, what wasn’t and what has to be changed or replaced. The cello was her idea. I had a piano in my first song sketch, but now I think, the cello fits way better instead 😊 . To cut the song in two pieces and put a heavy solo passage in the gap was Yana’s idea too. She asked me to paint a musically picture of hell - “…a musical picture of hell with "Thunder and lightning”...”. I tried to do my best then – if I may mention that devil’s fart at the end of the solo? ROFL.

Please check out Yana’s stuff here: soundcloud.com/yana-smutina
Thank you, Yana for working with me. Big hug!!!!

Volume to eleven and enjoy our creation!!! 😊

Yana Smutina: Song idea, composition, lyrics, vocals and stunning acoustic guitar

Lyrics:

“Somebody Help Me”

I'm just walking in the circle of life
Nobody can see and nobody hear me here
I want to change it all
I want to stop it all

Somebody save I need help
Somebody save me from this hell

I'm so poor and ugly but I've got a heart
But there's still no compation anywhere
I would like not to care
Pretend and just don't care

Somebody save I need help
Somebody save me from this hell

I've found my gate in the green glass
I've found my way in the green
