Texter som betyder mycket

Är en textjunkie. Jag kan älska en låt som egentligen är rätt dålig om texten träffar mig. Just nu är det Ani Difrancos fantastiska version av phil Ochs "When i´m gone" som motiverar mig att fortsätta kämpa trots att det kan va lite kämpigt ibland:

"won't see the golden of the sun when i'm gone.
and the evenings and the mornings will be one when i'm gone.
can't be singing louder than the guns when i'm gone.
so i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here.

all my days won't be dances of delight when i'm gone.
and the sands will be shifting from my sight when i'm gone.
can't add my name into the fight while i'm gone,
so i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here.

and i won't be laughing at the lies when i'm gone.
and i can't question how or when or why when i'm gone.
can't live proud enough to die when i'm gone,
so i guess i'll have to do it while i'm here."

Har ni andra textrader som är viktiga för er? Det behöver ju inte vara musik. Poesi, eller ett utdrag ur en bok eller ett citat från en film funkar också.

"Visst finns det Mirakel"
Suzzi Tapper

Jag var en spillra av mitt forna jag
Såg inget ljus, inte en strimma svag
En vingklippt fågel som inte ens drömde mer
Som av sorger trycktes allt längre ner
Men när jag mötte dig älskling
Så ändrades allting
Brutalt

Visst finns mirakel
Och för mig är det faktiskt du
I dina kyssar öppnar himlen sig för mig nu
Visst finns mirakel
I din kärlek så stark och sann
I dina kyssar och i att vi har funnit varann

Du öppnar dörrar jag inte visste fanns
En dörr till livet, jag fick en andra chans
Jag älskar dig mer än du kan förstå
Jag vet du bär mig när jag inte orkar gå
Sen du gav mig din kärlek
Förändrades livet
Brutalt

Visst finns mirakel
Och för mig är det faktiskt du
I dina kyssar öppnar himlen sig för mig nu
Och allt
Är så enkelt och så självklart
Så skrämmande och underbart
Mitt mirakel är du

Visst finns mirakel
Och för mig är det faktiskt du
I dina kyssar öppnar himlen sig för mig nu
Visst finns mirakel
I din kärlek så stark och sann
I dina kyssar och i att vi har funnit varann

En till Springsteen --- Something in the Night

I'm riding down Kingsley,
figuring I'll get a drink
Turn the radio up loud,
so I don't have to think,
I take her to the floor,
looking for a moment when the world
seems right,
And I tear into the guts,
of something in the night.

You're born with nothing,
and better off that way,
Soon as you've got something they send
someone to try and take it away,
You can ride this road 'till dawn,
without another human being in sight,
Just kids wasted on
something in the night.

Nothing is forgotten or forgiven,
when it's your last time around,
I got stuff running 'round my head
That I just can't live down

When we found the things we loved,
They were crushed and dying in the dirt.
We tried to pick up the pieces,
And get away without getting hurt,
But they caught us at the state line,
And burned our cars in one last fight,
And left us running burned and blind,
Chasing something in the night

Ur Lost and Found av Kasey Chambers

If I could fall into your arms
Promise never to let go
Would you keep me safe from harm
And take me every where you go
We could throw away the past
And then you'd never have to know
If I could hold your heart
I'd never let go

THIS THE WORLD WE CREATEDJust look at all those hungry mouths we have to feedTake a look at all the suffering we breedSo many lonely faces scattered all aroundSearching for what they needIs this the world we created?what did we do it for?Is this the world we invaded?Against the law?So it seems in the endIs this what we're all living for today?The world that we created.You know that every day a helpless child is bornWho needs some loving care inside a happy homeSomewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throneWaiting for life to go by.Is this the world we creatidwe made it on our ownIs this the world we devastatedRight to the bone?If there's a God in the sky looking downWhat can he think of what we've doneTo the world that He created?

Det där gillade jag!

Själv blev jag lite kärleksfull nu, så det får bli en romantisk liten visa av Waits (som handlar om hans fru sedan 25 år) :

Johnsburg, Illinois

She's my only true love
she's all that I think of
look here in my wallet
that's her
She grew up on a farm there
there's a place on my arm
where I've written her name
next to mine
you see I just can't
live without her
and I'm her only boy
and she grew up outside McHenry
in Johnsburg, Illinois

Alanis Morisette är ju en helt fantastisk textförfattare och det här är en av mina favoriter.

that I would be good even if I did nothing
that I would be good even if I got the thumbs down
that I would be good if I got and stayed sick
that I would be good even if I gained ten pounds

that I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
that I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
that I would be great if I was no longer queen
that I would be grand if I was not all knowing

that I would be loved even when I numb myself
that I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
that I would be loved even when I was fuming
that I would be good even if I was clingy

that I would be good even if I lost sanity
that I would be good
whether with or without you

Som sagt, blev romantisk nu. Och då måste jag ju dela med mig av tidernas kanske vackraste kärlekslåt (också Waits, SORRY ) Han är ju inte bara cynisk, den gode Tom, utan precis som jag är han en romantisk tok med:

Take It With Me

Phone's off the hook
No one knows where we are
It's a long time since I
Drank champagne
The ocean is blue
As blue as your eyes
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Old long since gone
Now way back when
We lived in Coney Island
Ain't no good thing
Ever dies
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Far far away a train
Whistle blows
Wherever you're goin
Wherever you've been
Waving good bye at the end
Of the day
You're up and you're over
And you're far away

Always for you, and
Forever yours
It felt just like the old days
We fell asleep on Beaula's porch
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

All broken down by
The side of the road
I was never more alive or
Alone
I've worn the faces off
All the cards
I'm gonna take it with me
When I go

Children are playing
At the end of the day
Strangers are singing
On our lawn
It's got to be more
Than flesh and bone
All that you're loved
Is all you own

In a land there's a town
And in that town there's
A house
And in that house
There's a woman
And in that woman
There's a hart I love
I'm gonna take it
With me when I go
I'm gonna take it
With me when I go

På tal om romantik, Nick Drake kan slå det mesta!

'I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now you're here
Brighten my northern sky.'

Northern Sky- Nick Drake

Älskar båda dessa! Det är verkligen två mästare på att uttrycka kärlek. Måste ju då också skriva in en Nick Drake-text som är en av mina vackraste kärlekslåtar.

Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind
Time has told me
Not to ask for more
Someday our ocean
Will find its shore

So I'll leave the ways that are making me be
What I really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making me love
What I really don't want to love

Time has told me you came with the dawn
A soul with no footprint
A rose with no thorn

Your tears they tell me
There's really no way
Of endning your troubles
With things you can say

And time will tell you
To stay by my side
To keep on trying
'til there's no more to hide

So leave the ways that are making you be
What you really don't want to be
Leave the ways that are making you love
What you really don't want to love

Time has told me
You're a rare rare find
A troubled cure
For a troubled mind

And time has told me
Not to ask for more
For someday our ocean
Will find its shore

Det här är en storfavorit för mig!
Dessutom, lyssna på publiken, jag får chills (eller vad det nu heter!!) Helt otroligt!

">

Love of my life
Love of my life, you hurt me,
You broken my heart, now you leave me.

Love of my life cant you see,
Bring it back bring it back,
Dont take it away from me,
Because you dont know what it means to me.

Love of my life dont leave me,
Youve stolen my love now desert me,

Love of my life cant you see,
Bring it back bring it back,
Dont take it away from me,
Because you dont know what it means to me.

You will remember when this is blown over,
And everythings all by the way,
When I grow older,
I will be there by your side,
To remind how I still love you
I still love you.

Hurry back hurry back,
Dont take it away from me,
Because you dont know what it means to me.

Love of my life,
Love of my life.

Oj vad romantiskt det blev!
Men det är ju trots allt ett ganska vanligt tema i låttexter. Och jag måste ju fortsätta! Det här är också en av mina absolut finaste kärlekslåtar:

This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain and everything change
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

So I thought I'd let you know
Yeah these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wonder if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange
You said everything changed
You felt as if you just woke up
And you said: "This is the first day of my life,
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care
I could go anywhere with you
And I probably be happy"

So if you want to be with me
With these things there's no telling
We'll just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than wait in to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time it's different
I mean I really think you like me

Jag gillar ju båda versionerna, texten är riktigt, riktigt bra.I hurt myself todayTo see if I still feelI focus on the painThe only thing that's realThe needle tears a holeThe old familiar stingTry to kill it all away, but I remember everythingWhat have I become?My sweetest friendEveryone I know, goes away in the endAnd you could have it allMy empire of dirtI will let you downI will make you hurtI wear this crown of thornsupon my liars chairFull of broken thoughtsI cannot repairBeneath the stains of timeThe feelings disappearYou are someone else,I am still right hereWhat have I become?My sweetest friendEveryone I know, goes away in the endAnd you could have it allMy empire of dirtI will let you downI will make you hurtIf I could start againA million miles awayI would keep myselfI would find a way

Fast man är ju inte alltid romantisk, ibland är man arg med:

BOOM!

I?ve been walking through your streets,
Where all your money?s earning, Where all your building?s crying,
And clueless neckties working, Revolving fake lawn houses,
Housing all your fears, Desensitized by TV,
Overbearing advertising, God of consumerism,
And all your crooked pictures, Looking good, mirrorism,
Filtering information, For the public eye,
Designed for profiteering, Your neighbor, what a guy.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,
Every time you drop the bomb, You kill the god your child has born.
BOOM, BOOM,BOOM, BOOM

Modern globalization,
Coupled with condemnations, Unnecessary death,
Matador corporations, Puppeting your frustrations, With the blinded flag,
Manufacturing consent Is the name of the game,
The bottom line is money, Nobody gives a fuck
4000 hungry children die per hour, from starvation,
while billions spent on bombs,
create death showers.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,
Every time you drop the bomb, You kill the god your child has born.
BOOM, BOOM,BOOM, BOOM
BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM

Why,why,why,why must we kill,kill,kill,kill, our own,own,own,own kind??

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM,
Every time you drop the bomb, You kill the god your child has born.
BOOM, BOOM,BOOM, BOOM
BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM/BOOM
Every time you drop the bomb.
