Anne Clark would be Nowhere without David Harrow

My writings regarding my work with Anne Clark and how it all went pear shape, please see: https://substack.com/@petrock1 ~~~ or ~~~ WordPress starting with “When you're Anne Clark ...” There are many other platforms I wrote the same to not have all the eggs in one basket.  With writing these and posting online, people comment or contact me, especially Germans who are Clark's main audience since 40 years. She never fully learnt German though, which seems to be normal for British or American people, no effort made and being used to everyone speaking English. Some of the people who comment or contact me say they are just really only into the music, and not the texts. That explains for sure why no-one saw the mistakes of Anne's book “Notes Taken Traces Left”. But it also shows that it's really due to David Harrow who wrote and produced many of the early hits, like two of many people's favourites, “Sleeper in Metropolis” and “Our Darkness”.  David Harrow on Daily

Wenn du Anne Clark bist, spielt der Rest keine Rolle Breche alle Verbindungen ab zu Anne Clark und ihrer Musik. Als ich etwa 16/17 Jahre alt war, wurde ich in Deutschland von jemandem im Krankenhaus mit der Musik von Anne Clark bekannt gemacht. Anfangs war ich nicht besonders angetan von den rauen Klängen und der kalten Stimme, und ich schäme mich zu sagen, dass ich Clarks Musik erst zu lieben begann, nachdem ich mit demselben Freund, der mich mit ihrer Musik bekannt gemacht hatte, einen Joint geraucht hatte. Vielleicht war ich noch nicht bereit für die neuen Klänge und musste sie erst unter einem gewissen Einfluss „verstehen“. Es war n

  Audio Version    Please note that the audio version might become outdated if I have to correct or update below text. English is not my first language and I am not a professional writer / podcaster. Regarding the reason why I wrote When you are Anne Clark and the Rest doesn't Matter is, in a nutshell, to make 1000% sure this bridge is burnt to the ground. I want to emphasise again that I have nothing personal against Anne Clark and really do appreciate her trust towards me with her work as well as initial support when my brother died. My trauma has broken many relationships and opportunities, Anne was just one of them. I deeply regret it, but I also regret having invested so much money and later time on her music. As I wrote in the above linked article that my brother died in the middle of me working on correcting Anne's book. Losing a loved one is already devastating as it is. But for some reason it was decided that I receive this news via email without ANY support, with

Ready for a police visit and/or lawyer letter. I don't give a toss) DEUTSCHER Text: Wenn du Anne Clark bist, spielt der Rest keine Rolle . When I was around 16/17 years old in Germany, I was introduced to Anne Clark's music by someone in hospital. I wasn't too keen on the harsh sounds and cold voice at first, and I'm ashamed to say I started loving Clark's music after I smoked a joint with the same friend who introduced me to her music. Maybe I wasn't ready for new sounds, and had to “get it” while under some kind of influence. It wasn't that her music was bad or boring or low-quality, it was that I loved soft sounds and singing
