German chanteuse Ute Lemper has forged a career that's willfully confounded the first at the same time it's gratifyingly taken the latter mission to heart. While this release turns from Punishing Kiss’s more contemporary Tom Waits/Elvis Costello/Nick Cave flirtations to the traditions of Lemper's beloved Weill/Brel/Piazolla repertoire, it also folds four of her own original compositions into the mix for the first time, songs that underscore her forceful voice and muse with ambitious grace. The melodic sophistication of "Lena" (the tale of her manager's Holocaust survivor mother, with guest Laurie Anderson providing subtle colorations) is the most artfully determined of the quartet, a song that seems more akin to the intensely personal prog/alterna universe of Bush and Amos than it does a smokey Berlin club. That sense of illumination is the key throughout this masterful, beautiful portfolio. Lemper's takes on Weill's "September Song" and "Speak Low" sparkle gently, while her covers of Brel's "Ne Me Quitte Pas" and Piazolla's "Buenos Aires" and "Oblivion" positively glow with determination. At once musically expansive and thematically personal, Lemper boldly challenges any number of hoary genre assumptions with what's arguably her most accomplished and satisfying album. --Jerry McCulley ## Images ![But One Day - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41TB4T5PM4L._SL500_.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smoky, sultry, complicated Ute shines again *by B***2 on March 17, 2003* I have read several unflattering reviews of the import version of this CD. Reviewers described the CD as unlistenable and too avant garde. I have to disagree. I think it is a very accessible, beautiful, and haunting CD. I think that anyone who has "expectations" for a performer as fluid and as connected to humanity as Lemper are doomed to be disappointed. Lemper is a soulful, spiritual singer who needs to connect with her material and tell a story. On this new CD, she does it with grace. Ute's work will always take a few listens before you can properly engage it.After a while you really start to pick up the subtlety of the delivery and the power of her phrasing. Ute is never going to be a Linda Eder or Barbara Streisand (sorry, folks,Ute's not singing too many show tunes anymore).She is political, theatrical, a mother, a women, and her work reflects her unique experiences. Ute's "But One Day" is a great CD for relaxing or reflecting. One of the best qualities of Ute is knowing that her music evolves as she does. As people we all change over time. Why wouldn't an artist's music change over time. If you don't "get" Ute Lemper, check her out in concert, you will instantly be converted and will understand her music much better. The standouts on this CD are "September Song", "Buenos Aires", and my favorite, "The Ballad of Marie Sanders". Enjoy!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It all depends on who you are or were... *by J***O on April 1, 2003* Ute Lemper is known for singing Kurt Weill, and many fans would like her to remain an artist of the Post WWII German "avant garde" Her fans want her to stop with the pop and go back to the "classical section." of their record stores. Marianne Faithfull sings songs of darkness and great beauty within a pop context. She has released an cd of Weill's "Seven Deadly Sins" Her fans wish her to sing more like she used too. They want "Broken English, Part II" Both sides are missing the power and beauty of these singers but trying to limit them to what the listener can understand without effort. I suggest everyone listen to Ute's more pop oriented cds and Faithfull's more "classical" oriented cds and let the judgments goes , for awhile, to allow you to just listen. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent as just about anything else she has done. A+ *by T***3 on December 12, 2015* This is an album so good that you get lost listening to it. the instruments and arrangements are exciting and beautiful just like her voice. Own this. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/28096482-but-one-day](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/28096482-but-one-day) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
