Gode tekster

[:utakt]

Musikk og tekst hører sammen. Hvilke tekster er dine favoritter?

Jeg har plukket opp denne strofen fra låta Salme 101, artist Ljungblut (Kim Ljung, kjent fra Seigmen):

"Innerst i sjelen smeltes vi
sammen til noe uendelig."

Syns det er så fint. Hvis jeg gifter meg en dag håper jeg at jeg kan få brukt denne teksten i en eller annen sammenheng.

Hva liker dere? Hvorfor?

Edit: Hvorfor:

 

Teksten og musikk taler vel for seg selv - men utover det så var det den første Cohen-sangen jeg la merke til. Den var med i hans "I am a hotel" (med mange andre klassikere) som gikk på NRK i de dager da NRK var alt vi hadde og annen musikk enn opera, kontrapunkt og orkester var sjelden kost der.

 

Bildene som brant seg fast rundt halv-gale Suzanne som man tilbrakte natten med i hennes 'place near the river' gjorde rare ting med en ung mann - på godt og vondt. Mest godt.

"I scream into the wind and laugh
As the words slap me in the face
I would gladly trade a lifetime of convenience
For an honest day or two
It's just not the same when you're staring
Into a perfect golden sunset
And thinking about how you sold your soul
To send the rain away"

 

Syns denne er veldig nydelig

"På varsin sida samma säng... På varsin sida jorden"

 

Kjente meg for mye igjen etter tidligere kjærlighetsforhold, så tatoverte det like gjerne. En strofe på hver arm, for å understreke at det er snakk om avstand.

Winnerbäck har mye fint, og er innmari dyktig til å finne gode metaforer. I en av låtene (Söndermarken) synger han "tandläkarväder". Sier ingenting om vær eller temperatur, men alle skjønner hva slags dag det er likevel. Selv om ditt tannlegevær kanskje er annerledes enn mitt.

Come with me
Into the trees
We'll lay on the grass
And let the hours pass

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Let's get away
Just for one day

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss

Take my hand
Come back to the land 
Where everything's ours
For a few hours

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you
Make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone Let me hear you crying
Just for me

The night is mine, it burns so black,
And there will be no morning light,
The human race is a foul disease,
Will keep the morning from our sight,
Why can't we say the secret word,
Respect for nothing, fire or flood,
Expect no quarter, no reprieve,
We writhe and grin in our own blood,

No sun just clouds and poison rain,
Raped and freezing,
Victims of the dream again,

Truly our days are darker now,
We lie and cheat, to our own selves,
If we do this, I ask you how,
Can we speak truth to someone else?
There is no way, no road at all,
We are destroyed, by our own plan,
The air we breathe will kill us all,
And no one left to give a damn,

No sun just clouds and poison rain,
Raped and feezing,
Victims of the dream again,

Stay clean, be true,
do whatever you can do,
Make it soon, or we all die,
Ten thousand years, and all we got is Suicide,

If there be Gods, then tell me why,
They make us kill and kill again,
One hundred thousand thousand years,
No mercy in the minds of men,
What is the word that we should read,
What incantation should we say,
How can we ask for justice now,
When all the world is blown away,

No sun, no hope the world is sun insane,
Raped and freezing,
Victims of the dream again,
Stay clean, be true,
Make it soon, or we all die,
Ten thousand years, and all we got is Suicide

War; raging force of evermore
War; see the blaze of wielding swords
War; earth seeks life, life in war 

I snatched a life I killed a bird
An olive branch fell down to earth
Replaced it with a raven crow
With beak and claws and eyes of coal
Peace was dead I shed a tear
White feather bed in blood all smeared

War...

Nature seeks a way to live
War is nature's way to give
Dead white dove fall down to earth
We'll bury you in blood and dirt
Tree of life for long reversed
Peace was death and life adverse

War...

Nature seeks to come to rest
Man has long aversed her quest
See the signs a world in pain
Ruin follows time refrained
Nature always finds a way
War not always brings decay

War...

Får grøsninger av denne. Pain of Salvation - In the Flesh

 

 

 

She walks these empty streets alone
Hiding from something they call "home"
Hoping to find some peace of mind
Sometimes we need to walk alone

 

She is set on running away
Though her mom was yelling she must stay
A wind beaten bird for reasons unheard
Sometimes it is best to run away

 

So fly away, fly away, fly away
Don't be afraid, don't hesitate, fly away

 

Some wear their bruises on their skin
Others hide their scars deep within
She has a wound close to her womb
Blames herself for letting it in

 

So fly away, fly away, fly away

Don't be afraid, don't hesitate, fly away

But She's afraid, she's afraid, she's afraid
Anyway

 

See those eyes, see those eyes, see those eyes
Hate and lies, a fire that slowly dies

 

But She will fly, she will fly, she will fly
Before it dies

 

Sometimes the hands that feed
Must feed a mind with a sick need
And the hands that clutch can be
The same hands that touch too much
Eyes that hungrily stare
Read in an access that's not there
While eyes close to hide tears
Or look away in fear
Run away!

 

Passing the open stores
Hiding her dirty sores
Seeking asylum among freaks and whores
What wouldn't she give to be in a society
Not learning the eyes to be closed but to see

 

Now she bites the words
"Never"
She kicks the ground
"Never"
Swallows her tears
"Never will I go back"
She hits the walls
"Leave me!"
Scratches herself
"Leave me!"
Begs to all Gods
"Rip me from this sick flesh!"

 

"I will always be there"
"No!"
She holds her ears
"You know that I love you"
Pretends that she doesn't hear
"We're in this together"
"We share the same skin"
Panic in his voice now
"Free us from sin"

 

"Tell me that you love me"
This is the end
"I know that you do"
Of her way
Never ever again
Follow me down

 

 

 

"God forgive this hunger"
"Please mommy see"
"Never tell a soul"
"Is it me?"
A child will love its parents
Will follow them down
