Still I had planned so much is an album by the singer and songwriter Hannes Wader from 1971.

Origin / meaning

On Wader's second album, the influences of Anglo-American folklore became clear. You can already hear the guitar style that should be typical for Hannes Wader. The guitarist Werner Lämmerhirt is here for the first time , who also gave the following Wader albums their characteristic sound. It resulted from the post-war awareness that the opportunity arose in Germany to publish music influenced by Anglo-American influences. Feelings of freedom and unlimited possibilities also echoed. Wader couldn't avoid it and was influenced by the American singers Bob Dylan , Tom Paxton and Pete Seeger , among others .

particularities

Here, too, Hannes Wader maintains the tradition of talking blues through the title Monika . The protagonist lives with a pig because he is lonely. The animal eventually has to be slaughtered because of alcohol poisoning. On the debut album Hannes Wader singt ... this tradition was cultivated with the title Mrs. Klotzke .

The album is more socially critical than his first ( Hannes Wader sings ... ), which is especially clear in the song Get up, you poor dog . In the titles Charley , Growing up in the country and I had planned so many things , the outsiders of society are looked at, or philistines are targeted . The ass-creeper ballad deals with a systemic, negative character trait and was particularly well received in the anti-authoritarian scene.

reception

In the Segeberger Zeitung at the beginning of 1972 it was stated that the music was being performed skillfully and that it was “very reminiscent of stylistic elements of the American folk song revival”. The lyrics describe realistic situations, two songs have autobiographical traits. The thought-provoking album turned out to be “extremely satisfactory”. In 1976, Joachim Hagenow and Norbert Klugmann described the songs Arschkriecher-Ballade and Stand up, you poor dog in the Musik Joker as “very bizarre examples” from the “bourgeois world”. In general, Wader's songs are “everyday ballads, descriptions of the milieu from one's own area of ​​experience, which lack Mey's sophistication and which are reminiscent of an antiquated everyday language”. In 1981, Kaarel Siniveer highlighted in his Folk Lexicon the influence of American folk music on guitar playing technique , which ensures that the songs “start rhythmically”. The big RTL Lexikon der Pop Musik did the math in 1982. I still had so many plans for Wader’s four most important records.
