brolin_empeyIs Doch Ich Habe Dich Geliebt the same song as Always On My Mind but in German instead of English?  I am not fluent in German but track 12 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC64ekq29PQ sounds like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDe60CbIagg ?  DocScrutinizer05 or anyone else who can understand the German lyrics, are they the same song?01:36
DocScrutinizer05sorry, that's over one hour of music I don't like to listen to right now01:37
brolin_empeyTrack 12 begins at approximately 54m52s.01:40
DocScrutinizer05no idea, either a german remake or a rip-off01:47
brolin_empeyAre the lyrics the same or close in the two songs?  I do not know enough spoken German words to understand enough of the lyrics to tell.01:50
DocScrutinizer05I got a poor audio decoding processor that fails even with german songs. And I don't know the english lyrics at all01:53
DocScrutinizer05I got a few german sentence fractions annd nothing english to compare them to01:53
DocScrutinizer05except the obvious "you are always on my mind" vs "doch ich habe dich geliebt" which obviously isn't a straight translation but might be close enough01:55
brolin_empeyThe English lyrics are sung in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDe60CbIagg and must be available as text on the Internet too.01:56
DocScrutinizer05there once been https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Night_They_Drove_Old_Dixie_Down and a German singer made from that a "Am Tag als Johny Cramer starb" or somesuch, and anti-drugs song. Are those two identical or aren't they? Heck I don't know01:57
DocScrutinizer05https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-Sw7UKbtE401:58
DocScrutinizer05btw one of the most pathetic bullshit songs ever made (latter one)01:59
DocScrutinizer05Conny Cramer smokes some "bitter smoke" to get into a land of color and light and soon after dies from it02:01
DocScrutinizer05I'm not inclined to learn the complete story/plot of "Always On My Mind" and then compare to see how close the german lyrics stay with the original plot and mood02:04
DocScrutinizer05it's definitely and obviously no accurate translation02:04
DocScrutinizer05up to you to make your notion about "[you're] Always On My Mind" vs (german) "But I did love you"02:06
DocScrutinizer05another german fragment was like "I believe love can never die"02:08
DocScrutinizer05stay with me and we start all over anew02:13
DocScrutinizer05no matter whatever happens02:13
DocScrutinizer05I did love you02:13
DocScrutinizer05I do love you02:13
DocScrutinizer05ENOUGH!!!02:13
DocScrutinizer05seems there's a madonna song02:14
DocScrutinizer05prolly just happens to sound similar. The composer program had a hiccup02:15
DocScrutinizer05btw youtube has "Copy URL at current position"02:16
DocScrutinizer05https://youtu.be/mC64ekq29PQ?t=329302:18
DocScrutinizer05ask GEMA / RIAA if that guy pays royalties to original composer02:19
DocScrutinizer05if he does then he and others think it's a remake of "always on my mind"02:21
brolin_empeyI know that YouTube has that command but I was not listening to the album on YouTube, I was playing a local copy of the “video” I downloaded with youtube-dl.02:26
brolin_empeyI mean I was using Winamp to play a local copy of the “video” I downloaded with youtube-dl.02:28
brolin_empeyThe search function of Google Calendar for Android does not find some of my past events that Google Calendar for Web finds but I do not know why the two versions behave differently.09:46
brolin_empeyIt is strange to have my calendar software not find something I know was on my calendar, though.18:20
