Weniger als zwei Monate sind es noch bis zum Release des Debütalbums „Babylon“ von DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG der neuen Rock Spielwiese von Udo und seinen Mitstreitern. Als bereits fünfte Auskopplung kommt heute `Dead Man´s Hand´ samt Video heraus, das genauso frisch, eingängig und modern rüberkommt wie alle bisherigen Singles. Guter Song, packender Refrain, vielseitige Vocals von Udo und Manuela, Gitarren- und Keyboardsolo – was will man mehr?
Die Band über die ungewöhnliche Entstehung des Tracks:
„‚Dead Man’s Hand“ has an unusual genesis: originally composed by Manuela on the piano, the demo version consisted only of vocals and piano. The song was then transferred note for note to guitar and Hammond organ. The result is unique: a pounding guitar riff with a harsh organ accompaniment underpins Udo’s vocals, which – by his own admission – are exceptional for him. Further vocal surprises from Peter and Manuela as well as the positive ‚good time chorus‘ round off the picture of an extraordinary song.“

Lyrics:
You live your fairytale
But it is gonna fail
Face to face
When all the stakes fly high
There’s no way to deny
Your disgrace
So now you’re falling again
And you feel the pressure rising again
And you got no place to hide
Falling shakes your pride
So now you’re falling again
And you feel the tension rising again
And it’s fun to watch you slide
Let’s enjoy the ride
It’s a dead man’s hand – the final stand
With a hope sky-high – a lullaby
It’s a dead man’s hand – the last command
And awaiting hell – sounding the bell
Get ready for the pain
You’re losing every game
No romance
The devil celebrates
The aces and the eights
Not a chance
So now you’re falling again
And you feel the pressure rising again
And you got no place to hide
Falling shakes your pride
So now you’re falling again
And you feel the tension rising again
And it’s fun to watch you slide
Let’s enjoy the ride
It’s a dead man’s hand – the final stand
With a hope sky-high – a lullaby
It’s a dead man’s hand – the last command
And awaiting hell – sounding the bell
It’s a dead man’s hand – the final stand
With a hope sky-high – a lullaby
It’s a dead man’s hand – the last command
And awaiting hell – sounding the bell
It’s a dead man’s hand – the final stand
With a hope sky-high – a lullaby
It’s a dead man’s hand – the last command
And awaiting hell – sounding the bell
