Chords for Liquido - Narcotic | Het verhaal achter het nummer | Top 2000 a gogo

_ _ _ Welcome to [G#m] Heidelberg. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
[C#] This is new.
Public toilet.
A good decision.
It was obviously necessary to have one here in the old town of Heidelberg. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#] _ [D#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
I'm not a keyboard nerd.
I want to use [D#m] the presets.
And this was an easy to use preset [F#] keyboard.
So I found one used.
And the funny thing is, [C#] the person who owned the keyboard before, he modified [D#m] all the sounds.
So [F#] I'm the one exclusively to have these [C#] sounds, because this older man _ had created them.
Especially it has this whining [D#] too.
_ _ [F] _ When I press it very hard, it whines a little.
[C#] _ _ [D#m] I don't think you would write this kind of melody on a piano.
[F#] So this sound needs to _ [C#] feed you to the idea, I think. _
_ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ I grew up in the area, and then I moved to Heidelberg.
For studying.
Because [D#m] I studied English and German and tried a [F#] little philosophy and geography.
[C#] And I didn't finish any of them. _
And always [D#m] wanted to be a musician.
I dreamed of that, [F#] and I studied only to have a plan B.
[C#] Which didn't work out. _ _ _ _
_ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
Again!
_ [C#] _ _ Very good, very good!
The concert I went to at the [D#] Schwimmbadclub, it was a very small club.
200.
[F#m] All the big bands played here [D#] before they were big stars.
For example Nirvana, or the Chili Peppers.
I mean, that kind of acts.
German acts like Die Erste or something.
And we were fans.
We would go there every Wednesday, because that was the indie pop night.
And my dream was always to play there.
I mean, if you ask [C#] me about my dreams, that was the first dream maybe to once play at the Schwimmbadclub. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ So that's where I lived.
For a year or two that's where I wrote many songs.
And one [D#m] was Narcotic.
We went to the record companies, but nobody cared of course.
A big record label got the song, and the A&R, A&R is the guy who finds the new [D#] acts.
He heard the song, and took the time to give response.
To really [B] _ _ _
teach us a lesson in a written mail.
I mean, a band from Heidelberg that no one knows.
And be aware what is major company music.
Guys, listen to the radio.
And don't send me the bullshit you're doing.
Don't even bother us with your music.
It sucks so bad.
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ For two years we tried.
When we [D#m] were becoming a hit, we were told the [D#] longest queue that ever was at the Schwimmbadclub.
And that made me of course [C#] a little proud, you can imagine.
Because it was our club, and it was a [G#] long crowd.
And [G#] of course only 10% could enter.
And that [C#] was nice. _
_ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ Narcotic became the biggest debut hit [D#m] within 20 years in Germany.
And of course all the record [F#] company bosses asked their A&R [C#m] teams, why don't we have the song?
And so this guy, who [D] beforehand _ had taken the [C#] time to really put us down, _ lost his job.
_ Because he had to show his mail communication.
And then the boss said, alright, you didn't hear the hit?
It was a world hit.
And I [D#] touched you.
Very soon we were on the big stages.
In my [F#] opinion too early.
Because [N] we were not the best live band yet.
We were just starting, we came out of nowhere.
_ [D#] I remember that our biggest show was [F#] maybe one year after our release.
[C#] Which was in Mainz.
Which was [N] 70,000 people only before one stage.
Because there was only one stage.
70,000.
And that was the only concert [G#] where my father came.
He never came to any other concert.
If he would have come to Schwimmbadclub, 200 people, he would have _ [D#m] _
seen what reality [F#] is.
But you [C#] play in small clubs, and you have your audience and stuff.
My father came to the concert.
70 [D#m],000 people before one stage.
My father [F#] must have thought, oh God, my son [C#] has become a star.
Oh my goodness.
