CD tip: Pablopolar – Sleepwalker

CD Cover 'Sleepwalker' by Pablopolar

I’m still thinking about the booklet. Anyone pinch me? I believe, I’m dreaming. Pretty much ironic, as the new album is named “Sleepwalker”, I know. And I keep thinking “OMG! I am mentioned in a CD booklet” and “Why am I mentioned in a CD booklet?”.

“Sleepwalker” is the new album of Pablopolar, to be precise. I’ve been so excited and looking forward to it for months. I haven’t been waiting for an album so much in the last months like for this one. I definitively didn’t get disappointed. It’s brilliant. I love it. A few days ago the album suddendly started jumping in my stereo – maybe I’ve been listening to it too much?!

If you are reading the reviews that it is carrying you into another world and “Sleepwalker” was perfect as a title, it might sound strange, but the description is perfect for it. For sure for me. Esp. if I think about the moment, when I opened the booklet, browsed to the Thank You’s – “Sarah Schüpbach for your passion”. Pinch me. I was warned one week before that there was going to be a surprise for me in the booklet. I should read it well. During one week I was wracking my brain, my mind was racing. Sleeping didn’t seem that difficult in a long time, like it did in this week. Some musician, some song, some picture, something, no idea what? The thought I could be mentioned in the booklet was there. But was swept away again with the question “Why should they do that at all?”. And then the “surprise” on the release day. How do you feel in this moment? Shocked (“I got to read the booklets better in the future. If I wouldn’t have been told, I wouldn’t have noticed”, “OMG! I am mentioned in the booklet?!”, surprised (“OMG! I am mentioned in the booklet!?”), overwhelmed, agitated, hyper, touched, confused, happy, perplex… and you finally wonder though “why?”. Of course, musician live from it that you listen their music, buy their albums, go to their concerts… I know ,my concert visits are not really the norm. You get a thank you for coming and supporting, a nice message n twitter or facebook, you maybe get to go to a concert for free once or get some merch for free. I once got dedicated a song… I am always happy about it. Even very much. I can say, I’ve seen a lot already. But the last that I would have expected in live, was to be mentioned in a CD booklet – with full name. I don’t know what others think. Maybe it’s nothing special? And I am making more out of it, than it is? But for me it IS something special. Very special. I am mentioned in a CD booklet. That’s somehow totally weird. That they did think about it at all to mention me. And they even did it. Somehow crazy. Totally “WOAH” and “WOW”. And what more. Yes, it’s obvious, I am happy about it. Would never have expected it.
