Two Saturdays ago, Janet and I visited Alain in his Aargau home and after a dinner of delicious crèpes went to the 3×3 Bühne to see my friend Tobias perform his farewell concert with his band “Les Asonsörs.”  (I’d link to them, but they have no home on the web.)  They had also recorded their first CD, “Gelterkinden finden,” on the occasion of his departure.  What a surprise for me to see that the one song on the CD was a song Tobias and I had written together - he the tune and I the lyrics, and that years ago.  It is my privilege to post “Jede Loser isch e Blueser” online and be the first to offer “Les Asonsörs” temporary shelter.  Because it’s catchy, I’m also posting the title track, “Gelterkinden finden” (composed by Rainer Berger).  I hope you like their music - for purchase inquiries please contact d_vuilliomenet [at] bluewin.ch - and here are the lyrics I wrote back in university:

Jede Loser isch e Blueser
Griegt vom Läbe oft eins brätscht
Für ihn isch drum d’Wält abstruser
Und zum Lache as es dätscht

Jede Loser isch e Blueser
Und sy Seel isch voller Bügg
Macht sy Schicksal mol e Pfuuser
Nennt är s’truurig lächelnd Glügg

Jede Loser isch e Blueser
Oft verwundet, oft vrnarbt
Ab und zue trinkt är e Suuser
Und vrgisst denn as er darbt

Jede Loser isch e Blueser
Immer z’schpoot, immer nur knapp
Wie me unbegabte User
Stürzt em alls ungspeicheret ab

Jede Loser isch e Blueser
Griegt vom Läbe oft eins druff
Für ihn isch drum d’Wält konfuser
Trotzdäm git sy Härz nie uff

Jede Loser isch e Blueser
Und s’git meh as mänge maint
Müller, Meier und au Buser
Sin im Losertum vereint
