Write a short summary of what happens in the radio or audio work.

We asked Clouseau, one of the country's most popular and famous bands, to re-record their most iconic hit. And asked radio stations to play these re-recorded hits. What changed? After a short intro, just the lyric of the verse is heard. No melody. No instruments. No music. Just the words, spoken by the lead singer. The first verse is followed by a heartfelt message: "a song lyric is not music yet. Many musicians don't have the funds to rehearse, play, record or produce. Support them on belgianmusicfund.be. Don't do it for me, but for the Clouseau of tomorrow." After this, the song continued as normal from the second verse on. Creating a hidden message within the hit played on national radio.

Translation. Provide a full English translation of any audio.

SONG 1: Clouseau - En dans Sometimes you wanna disappear from the world You feel different, they stare at you. In a corner you are in danger of languishing, You are looking for a place where you can go Like or not you are judged, I see myself in you. There's really no game here with us, Here's a place for you. A song lyric is not music yet. Many musicians can't rehearse, play, record or produce. Support them on belgianmusicfund.be. Don't do it for us, but for the Clouseau of tomorrow Come over and dance We can take on the world together Feel free and dance So let everyone do it! Let our night lead the rhythm, You will see it goes without saying. Because music can liberate a person, You move and you are yourself What color or belief, Music has no rank or rank, no. She can only broaden your horizons, All seats on the side Come over and dance We can take on the world together Feel free and dance A false note is allowed Look at me and dance So let everyone do it Soon it will be January, Life is way too short We live today So move without worry Yeah yeah Yeah yeah Come on over (whoeeew) and dance (yeaaah) We can take on the world together Feel free (yeahyeah) and dance (oooow) So let everyone do it Come over and dance We can take on the world together Feel free and dance Now let everyone do it SONG 2: K'S CHOICE - NOT AN ADDICT Breathe it in and breathe it out And pass it on, it's almost out We're so creative, so much more We're high above but on the floor It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive If you don't have it you're on the other side A song lyric is not music yet. Many musicians can't rehearse, play, record or produce. Support them on belgianmusicfund.be. Don't do it for us, but for the k's choice of tomorrow The deeper you stick it in your vein The deeper the thoughts, there's no more pain I'm in heaven, I'm a god I'm everywhere, I feel so hot It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive If you don't have it you're on the other side I'm not an addict, maybe that's a lie It's over now, I'm cold, alone I'm just a person on my own Nothing means a thing to me Oh, nothing means a thing to me It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive If you don't have it you're on the other side I'm not an addict, maybe that's a lie Free me, leave me Watch me as I'm going down and Free me, see me Look at me, I'm falling and I'm falling It is not a habit It is cool, I feel alive, I feel It is not a habit It is cool, I feel alive It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive If you don't have it you're on the other side I'm not an addict, maybe that's a lie I'm not an addict I'm not an addict I'm not an addict SONG 3: CARGO MAS - MY FAVORITE PANTS (instrumental) (musicians reads the notes without music) A song lyric is not music yet. Many musicians can't rehearse, play, record or produce. Support them on belgianmusicfund.be. Don't do it for us, but for the Cargo mas of tomorrow SONG 4: ALS EEN LEEUW IN EEN KOOI - WILLY SOMMERS No movie on TV, no sense in the cafe And I shiver from the cold The radio continues, but everything I hear Sounds gray and gray for a moment I turn around and around and around here Like a lion in a cage Prey to despair A song lyric is not music yet. Many musicians can't rehearse, play, record or produce. Support them on belgianmusicfund.be. Don't do it for us, but for the Clouseau of tomorrow I get lost in the chilly night Still, I keep watch But you're not coming to me It makes no sense for me to wait for you anymore I'll be alone tonight I'm slowly getting tired of my life What did you expect from me What would you have thought Or what do you want me to do Do you still want me to wait for you? I'll see you tonight Will you come back to me? I'm bored to death here My head is full of scrap And I feel terribly down You know where I live I have a phone, but I don't hear from you SONG 5: BLANCHE - CITY LIGHTS All alone in the danger zone Are you ready to take my hand? All alone in the flame of doubt Are we going to lose it all? A song lyric is not music yet. Many musicians can't rehearse, play, record or produce. Support them on belgianmusicfund.be. Don't do it for us, but for the Clouseau of tomorrow I could never leave you and the city lights I could never beat the storm in your eyes The storm in your bright eyes All alone in the danger zone Are you ready to take my hand? All alone in the flame of doubt Are we going to lose it all? Looking between the space and the city lights All we are is in the stars in your eyes The stars in your dark eyes All alone in the danger zone Are you ready to take my hand? All alone in the flame of doubt Are we going to lose it all? Let's put some light into our lives But keep the storm that's in your eyes Let's put some light into our lives All alone in the danger zone Are you ready to take my hand? All alone in the flame of doubt Are we going to lose it all? All alone in the danger zone Are you ready to take my hand? All alone in the flame of doubt Are we going to lose it all? To lose it all To lose it all SONG 6: STTELLLA - TORREMOLINOS There's a town on the Costa Del Sol Where there are more Belgians than Spaniards Where there are more Leonidas And from Bata than from Gambas A song lyric is not music yet. Many musicians can't rehearse, play, record or produce. Support them on belgianmusicfund.be. Don't do it for us, but for the Sttella of tomorrow We will all all go to Torremolinos All all all in Torre-molinos All all all in Torremolinos All all all in Torre-molinos Even when it rains it's great We know how to post postcards Or drink a cup at the Amicale Friends of the municipal campsite With Sunair it's great With Airtour it's the outward and return trip With Neckermann it's great With Nouvelles Frontières it's not expensive For me Torremolinos is paradise I think I'm going to die here And when I'm dead I want to be buried In Torremolinos, its cemetery

Please outline the innovative elements of the work

To raise awareness for the precarious situation artists were in, and how a lack of funds kept them from creating music, we didn't place an ad or do a PR piece. We used the music people love today, to make the lack of funding or artists heard. The country's biggest hits became an awareness campaign to support tomorrow's musicians.
