DVD: Niemand hört dich - Live

A DVD called Niemand hört dich - Live was released on September 28. It features all the songs from the album and a couple of extras. It peaked at #10 of the German DVD charts, mostly thanks to the song "Ein neuer Tag" that promoted the DVD release.

Ein neuer Tag

"Ein neuer Tag" is a song that promoted the release of the first Nevada Tan DVD. It is a slow song about dealing with the pain when a loved one dies. Franky sings most of the text, while Timo only has one rap-verse. This is the first single where we can hear David playing piano, while Jan's DJing is not heard. The video features lots of live material. The video could be seen on VIVA's voting show Get the Clip, however it was not released as a single.
