CNTR RNDM - Bürgergeld (music video) | Beat made on PO-33
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- I came up with the idea for this track early this year when my wife and I both lost our jobs. It was quite a challenging time, especially since we had to seek state assistance. We had to apply for "Bürgergeld" (welfare money in German) because unemployment insurance couldn't cover our expenses and that really sucked!!! Overnight, we faced a significant social downturn and felt trapped in a downward spiral. The toughest part was applying for "Bürgergeld" - seriously, the agency treated us as if we had done something wrong, even though our financial struggles weren't our fault. My wife was let go due to COVID's impact on her employer's business and I lost my job after hackers attacked my university. All data from our department's projects was lost and backup access was impossible. Without data, there was no project and since I was a research assistant without a teaching position, they had no choice but to let me go. This wasn't something we chose, you know? We needed help - and although we got it - the agency made it extremely difficult for us!!!
Driven by my frustration, I created this track about someone who, overwhelmed by their situation, focuses on reckless spending on partying and fun instead of trying to get back up. This project was a therapeutic outlet for me, let me tell you! Now, things are getting better but this song will always remind me of the shortcomings in our social security system and the challenges of relying on welfare!!!
I made the instrumental entirely on the PO-33 and recorded the vocals using my Shure SM58 into Ableton. I did minor tweaks in Ableton and the track was set!!! The video was created using my favourite AI tools, namely Leonardo and Kaiber.
Here are the German lyrics:
Verse
Ich hab die Schnauze so voll
Darauf zu hören was alle sagen
Dude, ich lebe lieber jetzt
Als auf das Leben zu warten
Ich hab alles versucht
Und bin kläglich gescheitert
Alter, ich baue lieber Beats
Und sitz nicht täglich die Zeit ab
Junge, Alle wissen's besser
aber das ist mir egal
Dude, ich hatte mal ne Zukunft
Und jetzt hab ich keine Wahl
Ich gib mir, Sorgen auf Morgen
Heute Nacht geh' ich steil
Junge, Freefall in den Abgrund
Alter, das ist mein Style
Bridge
Moolah, Zaster, Kohle, cash, money, knete
Hook
Ich verprass mein Bürgergeld im Club
Lass die Puppen tanzen und bin druff
Schließe meine Augen und bin high
Denke nicht an morgen, ich bin frei
Verse
Ich hab keinen Bock
auf Karriere till I die
Ich bin dann jetzt mal raus
und geb nen Scheiß auf 9 to five
Jeden Tag derselbe Mist
Digger, das macht mich kaputt
Ich schlag jetzt alles kurz und krumm
und dude ich schniefe dann den Schutt
Yo Ich leb von Luft und Liebe
und ne Knarre brauch ich auch
Denn wie raub ich sonst die Banken und die Supermärkte aus
Bro, ich gönn mir Hedonismus
aber ohne Konsequenz
Dude, ich dröhn mich heute zu
und brech den Stern ab von deinem Benz
Bridge
Hook (2x)
And here are the translated lyrics in English:
Verse
I'm so fed up,
Always hearing what everyone says.
Dude, I'd rather live now
Than wait for life
I tried everything,
And miserably failed.
Man, I'd rather make beats
Than waste time every day.
Dude, everyone knows better,
But I don't care.
Dude, I once had a future,
And now I have no choice.
I worry about tomorrow,
Tonight I'm going wild.
Dude, freefall into the abyss,
Man, that's my style.
Bridge
Moolah, dough, p, cash, money, parra
Hook
I blow my welfare money in the club,
Make the ladies dance and I'm on it.
Close my eyes and I'm high,
Don't think about tomorrow, I'm free.
Verse
I don't feel like
A career till I die
I'm out for now,
And I don't care about 9 to 5
Every day the same crap,
Dude, it's killing me.
I'm smashing everything now,
And dude, I snort the debris.
Yo, I live on air and love,
And I need a gun too
How else am I going to rob banks and supermarkets?
Bro, I indulge in hedonism but without consequences.
Dude, I'm getting wasted today and I'll snap the star off your Benz.
Bridge
Hook (2x)

Alter i'm so glad your trajectory is on the up now, it hurt my heart during this time. Your spirit and, I wouldn't call it optimism, maybe something close to gritty but cheerful stoicism was and is uplifting to see. And now that that effort is bearing fruit makes me heaps happy.
The video is amazing, and the tune is a certified banger. I could go on about the imagery you chose and you being lowkey the king of AI...but I might save it for another time 😉 You rock man, never stop rocking 🤘
Mate, this is hands down the best comment I've ever received!!! And seriously, your friendship and all our little projects together have been key in getting me through this rough patch! Thanks, mate👊❤️
@@CNTRRNDM I would love sharing prompts with you, i use nightcafe and midjourney!
I have made 10,000 images so far.

Das sollte im Radio laufen!
So daß es aus jedem Auto auf den Straßen rausballert!
RESPEKT!!!
Was?! Danke ey!!!😁
Great music and video!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks a bunch!!!
Throwing my PO33 right in the bin after listening to this. I give up. Well done
Naaaaah don't!!!😁 thanks a bunch, mate!!!
Wow cool 👍👍👍
Thanks a lot, my friend!!!
Definitely a top po 33
Yeah!!! Thanks a bunch, mate!!!
Often challenging times bring out the best in us. I can feel the frustration and energy behind it! Well played!
Yeah, thanks, man! It's been quite a challenging time, let me tell you. That's why I love music so much as it's the best creative outlet for these extreme feelings and emotions, I find! Again, thanks for stopping by, mate! Have a good one!!!
Gangster brother. Glad you are all still okay. Just know I have also been there and am still right there with you. Moving one last time and hopefully will prosper once more. Been so broke I haven't been able to afford MircoTonic for seven months now since I first used my leftover "lunch money" to purchase a PO-32 Tonic. You above all else has helped me find my inner voice on this thing with your sounds. Literally think about you everyday. The PO's and your sounds helped me out of a dark and dismal place this last summer. Love you man.
Wow, I'm genuinely speechless, mate! You can't even begin to imagine how much this means to me. Seriously, I'm struggling to find the words to express it properly! Much love!!!
Ahhh yea!!!!
Hella great bro!!!!!
Thanks a bunch, mate!!!
MAn this is incredible! I can really hear the frustration in this - yes there's an assumption that those seeking benefits are work-shy freeloaders, it's messed up. Amazing track
Thanks a ton, mate! Yeah, we got trapped in this mess and climbing out was tough despite hunting for jobs. Mate, I sent out countless applications, always hitting the same wall: "Come back when your PhD is done."...so frustrating...the wife struggled too...despite being a master hairdresser, she only found offers paying standard hairdresser rates...that's what pushed us to launch our own business😁
This is bad ass. Stay strong! ❤🩹
Thanks a bunch, mate!!! Will do!
Boooah richtig geil gemacht!🤯👌der übergangen in die hook kommt nice. Sehr professionell. 🔥🔥🔥voll der hit!
Alter, danke!!!🙏 Freut mich sowas zu lesen, ey!!!

💯🔥❤ purer Abriss
🤘😁🤘
Such an awesome track and video man!! I read your description, I feel for ya and I can hear your frustration in this track, excellent work.. sometimes it's our anger that creates some of our best art!!! 🤘🐀
Yeah, right? The track basically wrote itself cause I was so frustrated! Anyway, thanks a lot for stopping by, mate! Have a good one!!!
Man this one goes hard. You're pushing that PO-33 to its absolute limit.
Thanks a bunch, mate! I just love the PO-33, man...I could have easily made it in Ableton and it would have sounded so much better but I just didn't want to...dunno, somehow I like the challenge of making the PO sound as good as I possibly can😁 anyway, thanks for stopping by, mate! Have a good one!!!
Man, this is incredibly good! And a powerful demonstration of what can be done with a PO-33!
I’m sorry about the situation but glad that it is getting better. I hope all continues to go well and improve for you and your family.
Thank you so much, mate! Your words really mean a lot to me!!! Yeah, I'm really glad that things are finally looking up🤞
Man, you kill it! Dayum!! 😮
Also, man I'm so sorry about your situation when COVID hit...it was hard on a LOT of people. I had my own business before COVID and COVID literally took it away. I had to close down and discontinue my dream. Synths and music was very therapeutic for me as well, so I totally get your story bro. I'm completely in your corner and with you! *fist bump* 🤜🤛
Oh, that's rough, mate! Gutted to hear Covid wrecked your business!!! What kind of venture was it? And absolutely...music's a wild way to channel all that intense emotion, isn't it? Silver lining, though...although it was kind of a hard time, we got heaps of time with our little girl, making every moment count! Really appreciate you opening up about your journey...it means a ton, truly!!!
@@CNTRRNDM It was an arcade. I had it for 4 and a half years. Opened in 2016, closed in 2020. Bought the song, bro. It rocks! 🔥
@@TrickmanTerry An arcade? Seriously? That's so cool! Gutted you had to shut it down😳 thanks for grabbing the song, though! Really appreciate it!!!
This is absolutely top notch man. Hope things are better now, I lost my job a few years ago and it sucked hard for a while. This is a great output though. Great jam.
Thanks a bunch, mate! Yup, it's been a tough year but - fingers crossed - things are finally looking up...the wife and I are starting our own business and I really hope we don't have to rely on social services ever again🤞
Nice music
Thank you so much!!!
Steiles Ding, Bruder. D.K. auf Speed würde ich sagen 😁👌🎼
Daaaaaanke!!!😁
Truly amazing.
Thank you so much, my Illy Wonka brother❤️
Richtig geiler Track, PO Kunst vom Feinsten. Ehrlich gesagt das Beste was ich im Deutschen seit Jahren gehört hab.
Wenn man irgendwo eine CD von dir kaufen könnte sag Bescheid.
Downloads find ich kacke.
Wow! Ich bin sprachlos, danke!!! Tatsächlich wird es bald eine Platte davon geben...A Seite Bürgergeld, B Seite Abriss...ich halt dich auf dem laufenden...danke nochmal😁
@@CNTRRNDM geile Sache. 👍🏻
Nehme ich sofort.
@@jurgenhelbing1327 yeah! Ich sag Bescheid, wenn es soweit ist!!!😁
Amazing track!!
Love the visuals too
It's good to hear that things are getting better
But yeah, it's frustrating how much of a precipice most of us are on with everything
Thank you so much, mate! And yeah, it is frustrating, isn't it? We're conditioned to keep quiet about our struggles instead of just sharing them. But honestly, discussing them makes everything simpler, doesn't it? It not only feels good to let it out, making it tangible in a way but it also paves the path towards finding a solution, I find🤔
Dude this is quality! Great vid and the tune is 🔥🔥🔥 Awesome job!
Thanks a bunch, mate!!! Appreciate you taking the time to check out my stuff!!!
the best music comes out of hard times for me at least ! cool track
Couldn't have said it better, mate! Thank you so much!!!
Aaaalter. Deichkind kann einpacken!Fetter Sound und geiles Video! Weiter so bruda!🎉❤
Yeeeeeah Alter!!!❤️
Great track and visuals…straight on🖤! Is it your voice? Greetings 🖖☺️
Thanks a bunch, mate! And yup, that's me😁
"theyre all robots at city hall"
Dude! The video and song are great! I'm sorry to hear of your troubles though. I hope thingsa re getting better for you. Three large coffees purchased...
Mate, thank you so much! No worries, though...it's been kind of a rough patch but things are finally starting to turn around...fingers crossed!🤞
This sound is just sick, and the vocals are really awesome. This track is a masterpiece.
Wow! Thank you so much! This means the world to me!!! Have a good one!!!
@@CNTRRNDM No thanks, I really, really enjoyed doing that. I think your content is really good and I'm sure you'll reach a lot of people with it. I definitely wish you a lot of success because I wish you all the best.
@@DemarriorMuzik awww, thank youbso much, mate! This really means lot!!!
@@CNTRRNDM I was happy to do nothing to thank you. By all means keep it up
@@DemarriorMuzik thanks...will do!!!

Thanks a bunch, mate!!!
This track hit hard but not as hard as your story CNTR. I wish you everything you need from now on. Take care
Thanks a ton! Right back at you! Have a good one, mate!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks a bunch, mate!!!
Sorry to hear you guys had to go through that, brother..sounds like a shit-OL-time :(..but kick ass track and video as usual! Also dropping the raps, you multi-talented AF!!
Cheers, mate! Thank you so much!!! Yeah, we were stuck in a real bind and getting out was no picnic...even with us constantly job hunting. Mate, I fired off so many applications, only to keep hearing "Get back to us post-PhD." Talk about frustrating... My wife had a rough go as well...though she's a master hairdresser, she kept landing offers with typical hairdresser pay...that's actually why we made the move to start our own business😁
Mega, Bro!!
🤖🙏
Danke, Alter!!!😁
Great work!
Good old CNTR RNDM 🙂
Thank you so much, mate! Have a good one!!!

Duuuude i hope you do so much more of this fuuckin loved it, and always thought it'd be so cool if you decide to make videos cuz your demo tracks are always so pro! love the concept too and appreciate those translated lyrics. I know people can do ok here with welfare but when i was struggling a while ago and tried to get some money for food they offered me like $1.32 a month or something laughable and under $2 so i feel your pain trying to deal with that nonsense and glad you made it back up and got this cool song out of the experience 😁
Thanks a ton, mate! It wasn't 1.32 but we received 75.34 monthly for the whole family. I won't lie, it was a lifeline and we became pros at cutting costs but it was still a real struggle. Despite it all, we scraped together a little each month for our daughter's dream trip to Disneyland Paris. Just last month, we cashed in on some discounts and spent two magical days there. She was over the moon! We tightened our belts a lot to make it happen but seeing her so happy, it was all worth it!!!
@@CNTRRNDM i bet man, really awesome you guys were able to do that and cared enough to do so. Hope you're able to take a million more in the future
