Jäst, the new modern rock act featuring former Grave Digger guitarist Axel Ritt, have released their new single, “Ten Years Plan”.
With “Ten Years Plan”, the band is sending out its third single. After the first two songs, “Heartlight” and “In The Thrill Of The Night”, were very well received, the band now follow up impressively. The song was composed and produced by Axel Ritt, the lyrics are by Steven Wussow.
Axel Ritt says: The lyrics of the Jäst song ‘Ten Years Plan’, which was written by bassist Sreven Wussow, are about a man who has completely structured his life and then is shocked to discover that his “ten year plan” is not working. All of his plans with his job, family and career evaporate into thin air, leaving a broken man behind. Conclusion: “When people make plans, fate falls off their chairs laughing.”
Singer Jessica is the narrator in the accompanying video, while guitarist Axel, bassist Steven and drummer Timmi slip into the role of the broken man.
