Tim Teissen – Ökostrom (MiA. Cover)

, 0

Ich bin seit Jahren ein Fan der Musik von MiA., daher musste ich endlich mal ein Cover machen. Der im Original punkige Protestsong mit eindringlicher Message wird bei mir aufs Wesentliche reduziert. Ich hoffe, euch gefällt das Ergebnis!
This is my personal take on the song “Oekostrom” by the German band MiA. Its lyrics reflect topics which we all have to deal with, now more than ever, like our ecological footprint, the importance of sustainable development, fair trade, and how each of us could act as a responsible human being. As with all my cover songs, I changed quite a bit, and it’s become a jazzy version in the end. Hope you like it!
