Einmal wird das sich das Licht sich nicht länger dir zuwenden um dich zu treffen

@tellthee has interpreted the Greville and the Tombstones track, One day the light will no longer turn to meet you.

@tellthee told me her translated works are more than just English to German: they are expressions sewn as a quilt of feelings, sounds and imaginations of her reading the original. That, to me, is beautiful.

I am very grateful and love to share them.



This is: Einmal wird das sich das Licht sich nicht länger dir zuwenden um dich zu treffen

Lebensrückblenden in den heranrollenden Tod, Von Greville Tombs

I am very honoured and privileged whenever the Greville and the Tombstones' works are reinterpreted.

I am very lucky to have a friend in @tellthee who I deeply appreciate of her great efforts in transforming her very favourite words from the band into her native German language. Unlike songs with musical constraint, Greville and the Tombstones has no music so can be rendered beautifully into German which never fail to leave me awed in their new sound.

Hymn für die Kirche der Krähen

My friend, the wonderful @tellthee has translated my Hymn For The Church of Crows into the better German. 
I hope people enjoy it as much as I do thinking of it being sung in gorgeous church spaces.

@tellthee goes to great efforts on the translations of my texts and I am more grateful than, ironically, I can find the words for. I am very appreciative of all @tellthee does to promote the work of the band. #thereisnoband #thereistellthee

Der Priester der Krähen

To paraphrase Star-Trek:
You've never read Greville and the Tombstones until you have read it in German.

The wonderful @tellthee, who I am lucky to call a friend, has translated into German my work The Priest of Crows









I truly believe the German language versions of my works add a special dimension to the meaning of them.

And of course, the translation means that German fans of the band can more easily enjoy Greville and the Tombstones.

I love that my words are translated here.

Lusts and Grudges: Tell Thee mix

I am incredibly appreciative of friend of the band, @tellthee who has translated the latest Greville and the Tombstones hit, Lust and Grudges into German.

I am so grateful that @tellthee has taken the time to do this. And it is a perfect choice for her to make, like Romantic Masochist, to be written in German.

Lusts and Grudges has affected a lot of the fans and I know that this new version in translation will add to everything they feel about it.

I love this version. It is amazing.
It is Lusts and Grudges, covered and mixed and translated by the fabulous @tellthee.

The Romantic Masochist: the Wunderbar! remix

One of the dear fans of Greville and the Tombstones, @tellthee, has translated Romantic Masochist into German. How fantastic is that!?

Here is the German version of Romantic Masochist, written by the super @tellthee:

 
 
 
 
 
Should Greville and the Tombstones ever do an international tour and play Berlin, THIS is the version of Romantic Masochist which will be performed.
 
My German is not good. But I think this song's chorus covers how I feel about @tellthee and her kind gift - Ladies and Gentleman I give you Tenpole Tudor and their song Wunderbar; "There is a word in German and I think it says it all... Wunderbar!"
 
I agree!
