Die fast ausverkaufte Live-Music-Hall in Köln zeigt: Daughtry ist auch in Deutschland schwer im Kommen. In seiner Heimat, den Vereinigten Staaten, hat Chris Daughtry, der 28-jährige Sänger, Gitarrist und Songwriter schon lange die Nase vorn. Deshalb wunderte man sich wohl kaum, dass einige GIs aus Heidelberg den Tourauftakt in Deutschland nicht verpassen wollten.

Zunächst rockten jedoch Redeem aus der Schweiz. Redeem wurde persönlich vom amerikanischen Daughtry Management ausgewählt. Nach der Tour durch Ungarn und Österreich im vergangen Herbst mit Gotthard, dürfen sich nun auch die deutschen Rockfans auf ein Redeem Live-Spektakel freuen.

Offizielle Homepage von Redeem:

Aber wieder zu Daughtry ... Sicherlich gibt es Musiker, die es drauf haben, die Menge zu begeistern. Doch Chris Daughtry hat bewiesen, ein erstklassiger Musiker zu sein. Während des Auftritts nahm er seine Acoustic-Guitar, begeisterte solo das Kölner Publikum. Schade nur, dass Daughtry ohne Zugabe die Bühne verlassen haben.

Ein gelungenes Konzert mit unserer Empfehlung: Besonders sehenswert.

In seiner Heimat, den Vereinigten Staaten, hat Chris Daughtry in seinem Genre die Konkurrenz längst hinter sich gelassen. Selbst seit Jahren etablierte Rock-Acts wie Nickelback und Bon Jovi können in punkto Popularität und Verkaufszahlen dem 28-jährigen Sänger, Gitarristen und Songwriter schon lange nicht mehr das Wasser reichen.

Das selbstbetitelte Debütalbum seiner Band Daughtry, das in Deutschland im Hebst 2007 erschien, verkaufte sich in den USA mittlerweile mehr als dreieinhalb Millionen Mal und brachte mehrere Hitsingles hervor. Da wundert es wenig, dass der Shootingstar gleich mit seinem Erstling vier Grammy-Nominierungen auf sich vereinen konnte, u.a. in den Kategorien "Best Rock Album" (für das Album "Daughtry"), "Best Rock Song" (für die Debüt-Hitsingle "It's Not Over"), "Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal" (für die Single "Home") und "Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals" (für "It's Not Over").

Auch in Deutschland ist Daughtry schwer im Kommen. Nach dem selbstbetitelten Debüt und der ersten Single "It's Not Over" legen Daughtry nach: Am 11. April erscheint mit "Over You" die neue Single - kurz nach Abschluss der Daughtry-Frühjahrstour.

I don't really care to know who they are anymore, although it would be nice so that I could avoid them at Taylor's shows; forewarned is forearmed.  But you know, whatever trips your trigger.  I don't feel lied to, rejected, played or tricked.  If some do, so be it; maybe they've all been dating Taylor over there and are owed some explanation; who knows?  I'm not, so he has my permission to do what he wants.  It's a New Age, maybe public blogging is the new form of therapy. 

A song for you.
Daughtry sings it: "Over You"
Good song. From me, to you.

(Who am I kidding? I still think about you all the time...)

Oh well, I WISH that song could be from me to you.

Now that it’s all said and done
I can’t believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down
Like an old abandoned house
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath
I fell too far, was in way too deep
Guess I let you get the best of meeee

(Chorus)
Well I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, time agooo!
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I’m slowly getting closure
I guess it’s really over
I’m finally gettin’ better
Now I’m picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you!!!
(End Chorus)

You took a hammer to these walls
Dragged the memories down the hall
Packed your bags and walked away
There was nothing I could say,
And when you slammed the front door shut
A lot of other’s opened up
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for meee

(Chorus)
Well I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, time agooo!
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I’m slowly getting closure
I guess it’s really over
I’m finally getting’ better
Now I’m picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you!!!
(End Chorus)

I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, long time agooo
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you

And I never saw it coming
I should have started running
I’m finally getting better
Now I’m picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
And I got over you!!!
And I got over you!!!
And I got over you!!!

The day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you…

Why is it everytime you bring me up,
somebody tells me something about you that just brings me back down.
Smashes me against the fucking concrete.
It makes sense.
They all told me it and I never listened.
And then I'd take your side, when I should've been listening to my friends.
You're friends even told me that.

2 words
Fuck
You.

It wasn’t really easy for everyone to actually get over from something that brought them pain. To forget everything and move on. No one ever said it does gonna be easy cause everything would take a lot of time to heal.

It’s even harder to get over something without a closure. Pain is always present and it’s difficult to look for a remedy. Most especially when it ended in a rough way. A person who loves deeply wouldn’t find any reason to give up.

Heartbroken people would look for something that will accompany them to get through this pain. Some would take alcohol for a whole week or even until the time they’d finally get over it. They would wake up one morning and they’ll be feeling fine. Sometimes we’d be surprised that they have moved on. But the truth is, no one had ever moved on in just one week. Maybe we’ll think that they had already moved on because they’re like walking around with a big smile on their face. But I bet 70% of broken-hearted people are just pretending to be feeling okay. They don’t want to feel pity about their selves so they go out and show everyone that they’re fine. But it really hurts a lot. It even sucks that it hurts big time.

It’s always been very helpful to tell someone what you really felt. If you can’t be true to yourself then at least try to be true to someone else. That’s the purpose of having friends.

“When you slam the front door shut, a lot of others opened up. So did my eyes so I could see, that you never were the best for me..”

i so love this song.. because it has helped me moved on.. it's my getting-over-heartbreak song.. apart from the music, the lyrics are true sentiments of a broken heart.. while admitting the fact that it really hurts to get your heart broken.. it still realizes the fact that one needs to get over it and move on with life..

'now that it's all said and done, i can't believe you were the one to build me up and tear me down like an old abandoned house.. what u said when u left, just left me cold and out of breath.. i fell too far was in way too deep.. guess, i let you get the best of me..'

i sang this song when i got off the hook an engagement.. i just never thought i'd sing it again to someone who's been a good friend since high school.. he has helped me get over the engagement.. even told me that i deserve better.. well.. i thought he was better.. he was actually worst than ever.. he took the lead in the ranks of my ugliest breakups..

well, i never saw it coming.. i should have started running a long long time ago.. and i never thought i'd doubt you, i'm better off without you.. more than you, more than you know..

this part of the song.. i only got myself to blame.. the signs were all over.. i was just too blind not to see it.. i hang on to their words and promises only to have it broken by them.. that's why don't make promises that you can't keep.. it was too late when i realize that i was better off without them..

.. and when you slammed the front door shut, a lot of others opened up.. so did my eyes, so i could see that you never were the best for me..

true indeed.. when He closes the door, He keeps the windows open.. so when He took the people I love away from me.. it was because He wanted to teach me a lesson.. and believe that the best is yet to come for me.. He was molding me to be right woman for the right man..

.. i guess it's really over.. i'm finally getting better..

[Chorus]
The sun won't shine since you went away
Seems like the rain's falling every day
There's just one heart, where there once was two
But that's the way it's gotta be,
'til I get over you

[Verse 2]
Walked through the park, in the evening air
I heard a voice and I thought you were there
I run away but I just can't escape
Memories of you everywhere
They say that time will dry the tears
But true love burns for a thousand years
Give my tomorrows for one yesterday
Just to know that I could have you here

[Bridge]
When will this river of tears stop fallin'
Where can I run so I won't feel alone
Can't walk away when the pain keeps callin'
I've just gotta take it from here on my own
But it's so hard to let go

Yes it was over.. the moment he left for U.S., I knew it was over.. Just as I described myself.. I'm just not the first one letting go.. I hold on to love until I can.. I give up only when it has consumed me and I couldn't give anything anymore..

Our relation.. short lived but it was the best 3 months of my life.. You made me feel special.. which no man has ever done for me.. You taught me how to love.. You made me alive again.. You've given me new definitions of loving, goodbye and happy endings.. You made me realize that I deserve somebody better and that's not you.. Thank you.

In the next few days.. I'm opening a new chapter in my life.. With a new work environment.. new colleagues.. new found friends.. I am starting anew.. and I'm leaving only Patrick behind..

Goodbye Patrick.. Our 3-month relation has come to an end.. and so does my love for you.

Over You by Daughtry

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

Love Chris Daughtry... i will never over u, daughtry.....hehe

i just realised something. some songs hit me differently. i mean i may like a song, but there are few which make me want to pick up my guitar and play it, and sing it. over you is one of the few which makes me feeel that wayy. i don't know why.

when this song is playing, i feeel almost like marty simpson - uncomfortable without my guitar. suddenly i realise how much i take my guitar for granted. and it's just ridiculous how i JUST realise this. my god.

i miss it. i do.. it's been there for me through good times and bad. the knocked-up wood and all 12 strings. sigh.
