Apparently an artist called Johnny Foreigner has 'stolen' a few lines from Hotellounge for his song Absolute Balance. You can listen to the song on Last.FM.
“You see that girl...” is from ‘Hotellounge’ by dEUS, one of the best songs ever written. Tom Barman, the singer, stole words from REM for the album that song’s on, so I felt I was more carrying on a tradition than stealing art.
A new episode of the official podcast has been published, including this video-impression of the trip to Portugal.
The official videos for Eternal Woman and Favourite Game have found their way to the Audio/video-page on dEUS.be. They will probably appear on the dEUS-Youtube-channel too.

Eternal Woman is track of the day on Q Radio, the internetradio of Q Magazine. They describe dEUS as ,,probably the most consistent and long-faring act of the past couple of decades''.
About Eternal Woman:
Let's hope other media in the UK will also give dEUS some coverage.Eternal Woman is taken from the band’s most recent album Vantage Point (astonishingly only their fifth when you consider that next year they mark their 20th year), and is a dreamy, string-bathed, harmony-rich beauty with an understated trebley, chiming acoustic guitar riff.
