Charles and Eddie - Would I lie to you baby

Godsang som alltid får meg i godt humør :):):):)

Nomy - I died by you

Enda en nydelig sang som jeg må dele med dere :)

Nomy - Hold your head up high

Nydelig sang med en nydelig tekst..
Blir litt melankols kjenner jeg, dette er følelser og tanker jeg kjenner meg godt igjen i fra tidligere erfaringer og opplevelser. Ville dele den med dere fordi jeg rett og slett har blitt litt forelsket i dette bandet. Elsker stemmen hans, stemningen i sangen, melodien, teksten..ja alt :)

Somewhere over the rainbow - Izrael Kamakawiwo

Gammel klassiker i ny og fantastisk innpakning :)
Her er det bare å sette seg tilbake i godstolen, lukke øynene og la stemmen og melodien fylle kropp og sjel... NYT!! :):)

Ghost Dog - Grand Idea

Living ´cross the border from yourself.
Went for a dive without air at the moment you moved here.
Emigrating seemed a grand idea
but now you've landed so hard that you cannot see what's where.

In the race against yourself, the needle`s picking up the steam
when you discuss it with yourself, you always wind up disagreeing.
And from it lighting up your path, it's gone to greasing up the beam for a fall.

Now your memoirs, it seems, are smoothly ghosted by a scream
built from a feeling, to a whisper to the signs you didn't heed.
Left you bereft of energy, you cannot write, you cannot read them no more.

30.000 days to smithereens.
The wall came wrapped in a plan, cloaked in hope and a smokescreen.
Blurry how this new state came to be
like the transitional glimpse between a smell and a memory.

David Coverdale - Blindman

I was dreaming of the past,
Why do good times never last
Help me Jesus, show the way
I can't hold on another day

I was hungry, felling low,
I just couldn't make out which way to go
Chasing rainbows that have no end,
The road is long without friend

Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul

Just a young man looking homeward,
Watching the sun go down again
Across the water, the sun is shining,
But, will it ever, will it ever be the same

Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul

I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman, I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where it's coming from

Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul

I need somebody, I need someone,
I need somebody to call my own
Like a blindman, I can feel the heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know, I don't know,
I don't know where is coming from

Forbidden fruit

Moonlight surrounding
Escape into the night
Take the secrets with us
to the place we are free

Your electric touch
sets fire to my heart
Desire fills my body and soul
there`s no turning back

Creatures of the night
caught in the fight
Forbidden fruit
for the careless youth

Emotions are flowing
like the river so wild
My soulmate in life
sing my sweet lullabyes

Creatures of the night
caught in the fight
Forbidden fruit
for the careless youth

Sunbeams shines on your face
as I have to leave
I kiss you one last time
as I slowly walk away

Creatures of the night
caught in the fight
My forbidden fruit
we`re the careless youth

Ozzy Osbourne . Nightmare

Thoughts about you just wont let me sleep at night
Blinded by obsession and despair
All you are is just synthetic paradise
Steal my love from me without a prayer

The euphoria rushes through my veins
The eternal possession driving me insane
I must be dreaming

Im running fast but getting nowhere
I see the light but I never get there
I hope I wake when the morning gets here
Your love is like a nightmare

Feed me lies and cover with a smile of grace
Promise me the truth and I'll be saved
Take away the pain and make my heart be brave
Comfort me forever, Im your slave

I know there will be a price to pay
I'll feel the guilt tomorrow but I'm numb today
I'm dreaming

Im running fast but getting nowhere
I see the light but I never get there
I hope I wake when the morning gets here
Your love is like a nightmare

I'm running fast but getting nowhere
I see the light but I never get there
I hope I wake when the morning gets here
Your love is like a nightmare

Im running fast but getting nowhere
I see the light but I never get there
I hope I wake when the morning gets here
Your love is like a nightmare

Deep purple - love conquers all

It Feels like the end
When you're closer to losing your dreams
Than losing a friend
Flying blind
I'm shooting into the dark
Who will I find
Oh girl
And if it takes me a lifetime
I swear I'll tear down every wall
Love conquers all

On my way
Tomorrow I rise with the sun
Soon I'll be gone
Words can't say
How the memories of feelings of love
They linger on
Oh girl
And if it takes me forever
I know it's worth every teardrop that falls
Love conquers all

Somewhere there's a place in your heart
Where the wounds never heal
Well you're not alone
That's just how I feel

Love conquers all
This one will last a lifetime
And if love conquers all

This one will last forever

Darkness

I have to change my wicked ways
get the focus away from the pain
I`ve waisted to much time
worshipping my darkness
It grew around me, `till it became a part of me

So I`m sitting here alone
drowning my sorrow in bloody tears
guilty of living a life of lies
not being true to myself
Doomed to a life in invisible chains

See the light shining brightly
on the horizon of life
trying to get there whole is not my goal
wanna tumble in sideways after one hell of a ride

My childhood dreams are dead`n gone
feel the tears falling down
I`d rather live my life in ignorance
then carry the knowledge I know too well
Burden too heavy and life`s too short

Deep Purple - When a blind man cries

Litt inne i en skikkelig mimreperiode kjenner jeg,
og da dukker disse sangene opp.
Elsker Deep Purple og mange av bandene som var samtidig som dem.
Dette er ekte musikk!
Musikk med tekst og mening.
Band som stod for noe og som virkelig brydde seg om musikken. De levde (og lever fortsatt),
rock`n roll livet til fulle - med alt det innebærer av intriger etc.
Men jeg må innrømme at det er ikke mange artister eller band idag som klarer å levere musikk med den samme kvaliteten som disse pionerene gjorde.
Skal mye til for at "nye" band skal imponere meg og "ta meg" på samme måte.
Men for all del, de fins da - det er bare ikke like mange av dem idag.
Bransjen og artistene selv har blitt mer fokusert på å tjene penger enn på å faktisk ta seg tiden med å lage udødelige sanger.
Greit, man kan kanskje tjene gode penger på å skrive om at man er gatas tøffeste gangster (uten at man noensinne har vært i nærheten av å bo i en ghetto), eller man kan skrive "bubblegum"-sanger om rosa helikopter og botten anna...men er dette sanger som kommer til å skrive seg inn i historiebøkene? Sanger som vi kommer til å videreformidle til våre barn og barnebarn og som overlever i generasjoner?
Neppe...
Låter som "Sometimes I feel like screaming" med Deep Purple, "Human Touch" med Bruce Springsteen og "Nothing Else Matters" med Metallica - for å nevne en bitteliten brøkdel, er sanger som kommer til å leve for evig. Lenge etter at de selv er borte, kommer sangene til å spilles og de kommer til å "treffe" nye mennesker på samme måte som de traff meg og mine foreldre. Oda har allerede funnet sine favoritter blant noen av disse artistene.
Og de er like levende og aktuelle idag, som de var banebrytende når de kom.

Bare en liten tanke i natten, som plutselig ble til et langt innlegg :)
Men det er kanskje typisk meg?

Men ha en god natt alle sammen -
og nyt musikken :)

Klem fra lille meg

Deep purple - Sometimes I feel like screaming

Elsker denne sangen!
Flott tekst, nydelig melodi og utmerket fremførelse..
Rett og slett en bra sang verdt å høre på :)

Enigma - Return to innocence

En vakker sang som har fulgt meg siden tidlig ungdom,
og som med jevne mellomrom dukker opp igjen i livet mitt.
En sang med mange minner,
både gode og vonde.
Men mest av alt en sang jeg er veldig glad i
og som betyr mye for meg..

Guardian Angel

I met her in a dream
in the divine shine from the holy light
she stood there so peaceful and still
Told me everything`s gonna be alright
don`t worry child, you`ll be fine

have faith in your strength
and the love that surrounds you
don`t mind what they say `bout you
the ignorant fools in their houses of glass
they know nothing about the struggles of life

Just be strong child
have faith in life
believe in yourself
and follow your heart

I`m always right here
to be your guiding light
When your eyes can`t see me,
see with your heart, that`s where I am
So that`s what I`ve done all of my life

I`ve been a strong child
I had faith in life
I believed in myself
and I`ve followed my heart

But where did it lead
I say, where did I end up
Guardian angel, have you left me
My heart is empty, nothing more to feel
I turn to you one last time, before the curtains fall

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

En nydelig sang som det absolutt er verdt å virkelig lytte til!

Takk til Mats :)

Må bare få rette en stor takk til Mats, som kommer med konstruktiv kritikk og er til stor hjelp når tekstene mine skal finpusses :)
Er så godt å få litt tilbakemeldinger fra noen som har litt mer erfaring med tekstskriving enn meg og som kan se på det jeg har skrevet med litt ferske og objektive øyne.
Gleder meg vilt til cd-en til mats og Nerli There prosjektet hans kommer ut! De er i studio for tiden og spiller inn og jeg har allerede fått høre et par smakebiter - så her er det bare å glede seg!:)
Løp og kjøp når den kommer :):)

Patience

I see your loving eyes in front of me
Torn between the masks I wear
Happiness are knocking at my door
but I`m too scared to open up
I`ve let it slip before
Scars too young, I need time to heal

I`ve become the one that`s cold
Shutting you out, can`t seem to change
You`re holding my hand
but I`m loosing my breath
Dead on the inside
Smiling that Judas smile back at you

Close my eyes
when I`m falling of the edge
I encourage love
but are pushing you away
Be patient my dear
hold on to hope
Just be patient

Just give me time and a little space
so I can trust love once more
Help me, so I`m no longer scared
We can beat the odds,
drive my demons back to hell
We`ll create our own little heaven on earth

Close my eyes
when I`m falling of the edge
I welcome love
but are pushing you away
Be patient my dear
hold on to hope
Just be patient

My Angel Friend

My angel friend
so innocent and pure
Always fighting the demons inside
Come take my hand, we`ll make it together

Running around
spinning in circles
the burning sun of the desert
make you loose the sence of time

Past the point of rescue
in the eyes of everyone else
But I see the light in your eyes,
shining brighter for each day

A better life
is never far away
Believe in yourself and who you are
You`ll shine brighter than all the stars

Past the point of rescue
in the eyes of everyone else
But I see the light in your eyes,
shining brighter for each day

Past the point of rescue
in the eyes of everyone else
But I see the light in your eyes,
shining brighter for each day
My angel friend

My perfect love

You came like a
breath of fresh air into my life
Swept me off my feet when you looked in my eyes
Your touch made me week and I lost all control
For the first time in my life,
I felt like I`ve come home
Had lovers before,
but no one like you
Have loved before,
but not like I loved you

We created our own little world of you and me
A dreamworld were no one else could be
I`ve never felt more freen than in your arms
Creeping under my skin,
inside every nerve
floating on air,
puffin on a cloud

(Chorus)
But you`re unreachable
Untouchable, out of sight
Two lovers drifting apart,
divided by life
Boy and girl that were ment to be,
but life had another plan for you and me
My Perfect love

My heart is bleeding for the love that we lost
The saints of hell is laughing at the dream that got torn
Ruined by the fate life created for us both
A life in despair is all that is left
Will never forget you,
or what could`ve been
No one else will do,
cause I`ll always love you

(Chorus)
But you`re unreachable
Untouchable, out of sight
Two lovers drifting apart,
divided by life
Boy and girl that were ment to be,
but life had another plan for you and me
My Perfect love

We`re chasing paperdreams down the road of life
Illusions built on fragile dreams of air
are crushed when faced with the cold reality
Soulmates living in parallel dimensions of time
Always close enough to see,
but never to touch
I feel your breath,
but it`s fading away

(Chorus)
Cause you`re unreachable
Untouchable, out of sight
Two lovers drifting apart,
divided by life
Boy and girl that were ment to be,
but life had another plan for you and me
My Perfect love
Perfect love..
Perfect love..

Dead and gone

Ooooooo I've been travelin on this road to long
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me is dead and gone dead and gone
Ooooooo I ve been travelin on this road to long
Just trying to find my way back home
The old me is dead and gone dead and gone eeyy

Verse 1 (T.I.)
Ever had one of them days u wish woulda stayd home
Run into a group of ni&&as getting they hate on
U walk by they get wrong u reply then sh*t get blown
Way outta proportion way past discussion
Just u against them, pick one then rush em
Figure you get jump, yeah that next
They dont wanna stop there now they bussin
Now u gushin, ambulance rushin u to the hospital with a bad concussion
Plus ya hit 4 times bullet hit ya spine paralyzed waist down now ya wheel chair bound
Nevermind that now u lucky to be alive, Just think it all started u fussin with 3 guys
Now ya pride in the way but ya pride is the way u could *uck around get shot die anyday
Ni&&as die every day all over bull sh*t dope money dice game ordinary hood sh*t
Could this be cuz of hip hop music or did the ones with the good sense not use it
Usually ni&&as dont kno what to do whith their back against the wall so they just start shootin
For red or for blue or for blow I guess, from Bankhead upto ya projects
No more stray, now im straight, now I get it now I take
Time to think, before I make mistakes just for my familys sake
That part of me left yesterday the heart of me is strong today
No regrets im blessed to say the old me dead and gone away.

Chorus

Verse 2 (T.I.)
I aint never been scared, I lived through tragic
Situations coulda been dead lookin back at it
Most of that sh*t didnt even have to happen
But u dont think about it when u out there trappin
In apartments hangin smokin and rappin
Ni&&as start sh*t next thing ya kno we cappin
Get locked up then didnt even get mad
Now think about damn what a life I had
Most of that sh*t look back just laugh
Some sh*t still look back get sad
Maybe my homboy still be around
Had I not hit the ni&&a in the mouth that time
I won that fight, I lost that war
I can still see my ni&&a walkin out that door
Whoda thought Id never see Philant no more
Got enough dead homies I dont want no more
Cost a ni&&a his job, cost me more
Ida took that ***-whoopin now for sure
Now think before I risk my life
Take them chances to get my stripe
A ni&&a put his hands on me alright
Otherwise stand there talk sh*t all night
Cuz I hit you , you sue me,
I shoot you, get locked up, who me?
No more stress, now im straight, now I get it now I take
Time to think before I make mistakes just for my familys sake
That part of me left yesterday the heart of me is strong today
No regrets im blessed to say the old me dead and gone away.

Chorus
Verse 3 (J.T.)
I turn my head to the east I dont see nobody by my side
I turn my head to the west still nobody in sight
So I turn my head to the north, swallow that pill that they call pride
The old me is dead and gone, the new me will be alright
I turn my head to the east I dont see nobody by my side
I turn my head to the west still nobody in sight
So I turn my head to the north, swallow that pill that they call pride
The old me is dead and gone, the new me will be alright

(T.I. feat. Justin Timberlake)

God knows

Looking for you, my heart is breaking, falling away
I wished at the time, I had all the right words to say
And I'm sorry that I know I couldn't do anything
I know that you're mad, but I think we could share our pain

Let's move on, ignore all of the tarish of mistakes
We don't have to look back, we don't have to go onto the lonely rail

Hey, I would follow you forever
Everywhere, whenever
No matter how bad the world might be
I know that we could see the future with a smile on our face
And I would try a little harder, overcome my weakness
I know that we're meant to be because your way is my way
And I'm sure that for us two, that we will be God Blessed...

Affection inside, it warms me when it reaches my heart
It melts everything that makes my whole world fall apart
And I know that I don't need a reason for what I do
I know that I'll thrive, as long as I am loving you

Throw away all of the things that make you unhappy
Let's chase after ours dreams, and maybe find a cure for your lonely heart

I know that you are not a liar, just a little tired
Look to my eyes and tell me all the things you want to do
I am prepared to stand by your side
And if it would help you go farther, I'd become stronger
I'd altered the strings of Destiny because it's my wish
And I know it would come true, and only 'cause God knows...

That when you find the place you need to be, I promise I will be there too
Everyone else can disappear
Sometimes it's just a game, to keep on going, chasing all our fleeting dreams
And we ignore all the fear

Because I know that I'd follow you forever
Everywhere, whenever
No matter how bad the world might be
I know that we could see the future with a smile on our face
And I would try a little harder, overcome my weakness
I know that we're meant to be because your way is my way
And I'm sure that for us two, that we will be God Blessed...

(Jennifer)

It won`t be like this for long

He didnt have to wake up
He'd been up all nite
Lay'n there in bed listen'n
To his new born baby cry
He makes a pot of coffee
He splashes water on his face
His wife gives him a kiss and says
It gonna be OK

It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll look back laugh'n
At the week we brought her home
This phase is gonna fly by
So baby just hold on
It wont be like this for long

Four years later bout four thirty
She's crawling in there bed
And when he drops her off at preschool
She's clinging to his leg
The teacher peels her off of him
He says what can I do
She says now dont you worry
This will only last a week or two

It wont be like this for long
One day soon we'll drop her off
And she wont even know your gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It wont be like this for long

One day soon she'll be a teenager
And at times you'll think she hates him
Then he'll walk her down the isle
And he'll raise her vale
But right now she up and cry'n
And the truth is that he dont mind
As he kisses her good night
And she says her prayers
He lays down there beside her
Till her eyes are finally closed
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart
Cause he already knows
It wont be like this for long
One day soon that little girl is gonna be
All grown up and gone
Yeah this phase is gonna fly by
He's try'n to hold on
It wont be like this for long
It wont be like this for long

(Darius Rucker)

No such thing

freshman year, mom asked,
"what do you want to do
when you get out of here?"
i said, "well gee, im only 13,
but i think id like to play my guitar
and be a star"
well she said, "that's not it, youve got a time to go,
good sense will kick in anytime you know,
im not worried. im not worried."

sophmore year, she asked the same old thing
my answer had remained unchanged
i saw her figit with her thumbs
she said, "you like computers, john, you like computers dont you?
i always see you with a computer, you like comptures.
maybe you can do something with computers. yeah wouldnt that be nice."

junoir year, its a little more intense,
she says, "what do you wanna do with your life?"
"im not on the fence, i know exactly what i am to be.
and im only seventeen."
she said, "well all i ask is that you pay attention in class,
so if you happen to have a change of mind in time
you can still go somewhere reputable and do us proud."
so i went downstairs and i played guitar loud.

senior year,
same old question,
she said, "what do you wanna do?"
i said, "play my guitar and sing."
she said, "theres no such thing"
she said, "theres no such thing"

"welcome to the real world", she said to me
condescendingly
take a seat, take your life
plot it out in black and white
well I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
and the drama queens
id like to think the best of me
is still hiding, up my sleeve

they love to tell you
stay inside the lines
but something's better
on the other side

i wanna run through the halls of my high school
i wanna scream at the
top of my lungs
i just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just to lie you've got to rise above

so the good boys and girls take the so called right track
faded white hats, grabbing credits, maybe transfers
they listen to Phish, but they cant find the answers
and all of our parents, theyre getting older
i wonder if theyve wished for anything better
while in their memories, tiny tragedies

they love to tell you
stay inside the lines
but something's better
on the other side

i wanna run through the halls of my high school
i wanna scream at the
top of my lungs
i just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you got to rise above

i am invincible
you are invincible
we are invincible
as long as we're alive
we're alive

do I have to tell the story
of a thousand rainy days since we first met
it's a big enough umbrella
but it's always me that ends up getting wet

i wanna scream at the
top of my lungs
i just found out there's no such thing as the real world
just a lie you got to rise above

i just can't wait til my 10 year reunion
i'm gonna bust down the double doors
and when I stand on these tables before you
you will know what all this time was for

(John Mayer)

August Town

A word from the Wise
Don't try to make life on your own
Remember that Jah Jahs by your side
For I was a soul who lost
And my life was in dismay
For among evil forces in which I came,
Guns and ammunition were my chosen way of life
With God fearing people I chose to strive
For all of the lives that are taken they can never be replaced
But still Jah Jah chose to remember my face

Though I never lived like He wanted
Im still mindful of what He taught me
So now I beg and plead Im on my bended knees
Cause Father you rescued me
Ive got the scars to show
I barely made it along life's road
Cause when my life got dark He was the only spark
He was the light at the end of the road

When I was young boy growing up in August Town
We ate from the same pot
We were idlings all around
From corner to color and corner
From Rockers to jungle Kintyre
Rising to dreadhieghts and river all around
And then the football ground became my battlefield
And my life seemed so surreal
People were falling all around
But Jah helped me to stand my ground
Only Jah, only Jah could have helped me to stand my ground

Though I never lived like He wanted
I was mindful of what He taught me
So now I beg and plead Im on my bended knees
Cause Father you rescued me
And Ive got the scars to show
I barely made it along life's road
Cause when my life got dark He was the only spark
The light at the end of the road

I never lived to please You
I never lived like I should
Father you rescued me, oh yeah, oh yeah

Ive lived and Ive learnt
Ive made mistakes along the way
Now I beg for forgiveness
Each day as I try to pray

So take it from me son
You can change the world today
And Im a living proof
Living proof that crime doesn't pay

Though I never lived like He wanted
I was mindful for what He taught me
So now I beg and plead Im on my bended knees
Cause Father you rescued me
And Ive got the scars to show
I barely made it along life's road
Cause when my life got dark He was the only spark
The light at the end of the road

I never lived like He wanted
I was mindful for what He taught me
So now I beg and plead Im on my bended knees
Cause Father you rescued me
And Ive got the scars to show
I barely made it along life's road
Cause when my life got dark He was the only spark
The light at the end of the road

Though I never lived like He wanted
I was mindful for what He taught me
Im on my bended knees
I ask Father please
Father you rescued me
And Ive got the scars to show
I barely made it along life's road
As my life got dark He was the only spark
The light at the end of the road

I never lived, never lived, I never lived
The way He wanted me to
I never lived
Lord I tell you
Now I'm blessing my beliefs

(Duane Stephenson)

Run

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear...

In this river

I've been around this world, Yet I see no end.
All shall fade to black again and again.
This storm that's broken me, my only friend.
Yeah

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black
Ain't no coming back

Withdraw a step away, just to find my self
The door is closed again, the only one left
This storm that's broken me my only friend
Yeah

In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black


In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black

Ain't no coming back


In this river all shall fade to black
In this river ain't no coming back
In this river all shall fade to black

Ain't no coming back

(Black Label Society)

Shine your light

The cry of the city like a siren's song
Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long
Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky
Must be someone's soul passing by

These are the streets
Where we used to run where your Papa's from
These are the days
Where you become what you become
These are the streets
Where the story's told
The truth unfolds
Darkness settles in

Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you're gone
Give me the strength
To carry on, carry on

Don't wanna be a hero
Just an everyday man
Trying to do the job the very best he can
But now it's like living on borrowed time
Out on the rim, over the line
Always tempting fate like a game of chance
Never wanna stick around to the very last dance
Sometimes i stumble and take a hard fall
Loose(?) hold your grip off the wall

Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you're gone
Give me the strength to carry on
Carry on

I thought i saw him walking by the side of the road
Maybe trying to find his way home

He's here but not here
He's gone but not gone
Just hope he knows if I get lost

Shine your light down on me
Lift me up so i can see
Shine your light when you're gone
Give me the strength to carry on
To carry on

(Robbie Robertson - Ladder 49)

God morgen :)

Vet det har blitt veldig mye tekster her inne nå, men kommer til å sette meg ned å skrive litt mer en dag jeg får litt mer tid til overs. Vil ikke at det skal bli sånn hastverksinnlegg, hvor jeg bare lirer av meg en masse svada uten noe særlig mål og mening. Ønsker at det skal være litt mer gjennomtenkt og reflektert når jeg først publiserer noe.
Men i mellomtiden legger jeg ut en del sangtekster som på en eller annen måte betyr mye for meg eller har grepet meg på et vis. Så kan dere kose dere med dem så lenge og kanskje dere kan oppdage nye sanger eller se sanger dere allerede har hørt i et litt annet lys når dere ser teksten alene :)

Sitter og koser meg med en kopp kaffe i nyvasket hus, nyter freden alene og hører på musikk - livet er deilig. Men må snart stresse på videre...

Så enjoy og take care!

Stay with you

These streets
turn me inside out
Everything shines
but leaves me empty still
And I`ll burn this lonely house down
If you run with me
If you run with me

I`ll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
Take my hand now
we`ll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you
I`ll stay with you

Fooled by my own desires
I twist my fate
Just to feel you
But you, turn me toward the light
And you`re one with me,
will you run with me?

I`ll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
Take my hand now
we`ll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you
I`ll stay with you

Now come in from this storm
I`ll taste you, sweet and warm
Take what you need
Take what you need
from me

Wake up this world
Wake up tonight
And run with me
Run to me now

I`ll stay with you
The walls will fall before we do
Take my hand now
we`ll run forever
I can feel the storm inside you
I`ll stay with you

(Goo Goo Dolls)

Comfortable

Her er sangen jeg bare MÅ høre når jeg skal sove :)
Nydelig sang med nydelig tekst - enjoy...:)

I just remembered that time at the market
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
and rolled down aisle five
you looked behind you to smile back at me
crashed into a rack full of magazines
they asked us if we could leave

I can't remember what went wrong last September
though I'm sure you'd remind me if you had to

our love was comfortable and so broken in

I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to
my friends all approve,
say "she's gonna be good for you"
they throw me high fives
she says the Bible is all that she reads
and prefers that I not use profanity
your mouth was so dirty

life of the party and she swears that she's artsy
but you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane

our love was comfortable and so broken in
she's perfect
so flawless
or so they say

she thinks I can't see the smile that she's faking
and poses for pictures that aren't being taken
I loved you
grey sweatpants
no makeup
so perfect

our love was comfortable and so broken in
she's perfect
so flawless
I'm not impressed
I want you back

(John Mayer)

Whiskey Lullaby

She put him out like the burnin' end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart he spent his whole life tryin' to forget
We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time
But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind
Until the night

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away her memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength he had to get up off his knees
We found him with his face down in the pillow
With a note that said I'll love her till I die
And when we buried him beneath the willow
The angels sang a whiskey lullaby

The rumors flew but nobody know how much she blamed herself
For years and years she tried to hide the whiskey on her breath
She finally drank her pain away a little at a time
But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind
Until the night

She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger
And finally drank away his memory
Life is short but this time it was bigger
Than the strength she had to get up off her knees
We found her with her face down in the pillow
Clinging to his picture for dear life
We laid her next to him beneath the willow
While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby

Heaven or hell

Some might say
they don`t believe in heaven
Go and tell it to the man
who lives in hell.

Tirsdag blues

Våknet opp idag tidlig og fikk en veldig skeiv start på dagen, i og med at jeg våknet opp sånn ca 2 timer etter jeg at jeg burde har stått opp :S
Vinden ulte rundt huset og regnet pisket langt oppover veggene...skikkelig typisk vestlandsvær med andre ord. Og milevis unna den påskestemningen jeg er vant til hjemmefra Hallingdal.
Anyways..for å komme i bedre humør, ba jeg om sangtips fra en av mine aller beste venner - som om mulig er nesten enda mer musikknerd enn meg :)
Etter 10 sekunder tikker svaret inn i form av sms og sangen...den hjalp umiddelbart!
Takk :)

Så om du også har tirsdagsblues - eller en eller annen form for blues og trenger en sang for å føle deg bedre, trykk på linken og enjoy! Så håper jeg at den kan hjelpe dere på samme måte som den gjorde for meg, og om ikke annet, så er det hvertfall en fantastisk sang!:)

Ha en strålende dag folkens!:)

En liten update

Som dere ser, har jeg allerede lagt ut en del sangtekster og ymse. Har ikke skrevet så veldig masse rundt de ulike bandene ennå, men det kommer senere. I første omgang synes jeg tekstene skal få snakke litt for seg selv, siden jeg syns det er så fine og sterke tekster. Jeg har skrevet navnet på sangen og under teksten i parentes, så står det hvem som synger den. Da kan dere søke opp sangene selv og høre på dem dersom dere ønsker det. Kommer sikkert til å legge ut litt linker etter hvert til andre blogger jeg liker, til sanger og artister som har betydd mye for meg.

Kommer også sikkert til å skrive litt om mine favorittartister og hvorfor de har betydd så masse for meg.
Jeg bruker musikk til alt jeg gjør og da mener jeg ALT. Jeg har noen sanger til dager hvor jeg er litt melankolsk og trenger å tenke litt, andre sanger igjen bruker jeg når jeg er i godt humør - eller når trenger å komme i godt humør. Så har vi disse sangene som jeg tar fram når jeg trenger å undertrykke trangen til å knuse noe fordi jeg er i dårlig humør. Da setter jeg på en "sinna-sang" og rocker litt til den, så er alt så mye bedre etterpå -. og ingen av tingene mine er knust :) hehe..
Musikk er et så sterkt uttrykk og vi kan vel alle kjenne oss igjen i det at det er noen spesielle sanger som, når du hører dem igjen, lokker fram minner, lukter og lyder som enten får oss til å smile, gråte eller le?
Sanger som vi kanskje hadde "glemt" eller bare skjøvet litt lenger bak i minneskuffen. Jeg har hvertfall veldig mange slike sanger. Det er ingenting som får meg mer i kontakt med hele følelsesregisteret mitt som musikk.
Jeg har ikke knyttet meg til en spesiell sjanger, om det er en god sang og den får frem gode følelser eller rører noe ved meg, så spiller det ingen rolle om det er klassisk musikk, rock eller rap. Men jeg må allikevel innrømme at enkelte sjangere har betydd mer for meg i ulike periode av livet mitt.
I tenårene gikk det veldig mye i rap og hip-hop, men det var nok like mye et resultat av miljøet jeg vanket i og hvilke mennesker som var rundt meg.
Selv om jeg i min sene barndom, tidlig ungdom, nok var den eneste i mitt nærmiljø som hørte på nettopp denne typen musikk. (Jeg kommer fra et veldig lite sted)
Mens de andre ville høre på Hellbillies, techno og listepop - satt jeg på pikerommet mitt i bittelille Sudndalen og drømte meg bort i Wu Tang Clan`s "36 chambers". Det var som om en helt ny verden åpnet seg for meg. Dette var musikk som kunne sette ord på en del av de tankene og følelsene jeg gikk rundt med i mitt forvirrede tenåringshode. Merkelig egentlig, i og med at dette er mennesker som satt på andre siden av kloden, oppvokst i en eller anne ghetto i en stor by jeg kun hadde sett på tv. Hvordan kunne jeg, en landsens jente oppvokst på et bittelite sted med kun 50 innbyggere og en snittalder på 85+, finne mer fellestrekk med rappere fra USA? Uansett - jeg var solgt! Dette var musikk jeg likte og da fikk det være det samme hva "alle andre" mente. Selv om jeg mer enn 1 gang opplevde at mine cd`er ble entetn skrudd av etter 10 sekunder spilt av en sang, eller i mer ekstreme tilfeller rett og slett ødelagt - fordi sånn "negermusikk" skulle ikke de kule gutta i Hovet høre på. Hmmm...følte de seg kanskje litt truet?
Det var først når jeg begynte på ungdomsskole på Geilo 3 mil unna, at jeg endelig fant sjelevenner med samme musikksmak. Her fantes det faktisk folk som elsket denne "negermusikken" like mye som meg!! Og ikke nok med det, de kunne faktisk introdusere meg for enda flere fantastiske artister innen samme sjanger. Hurra og halleluja!
Dermed ble denne musikken og disse menneskene mer eller mindre starten på fortsettelsen av mitt ungdomsopprør. (dette kan jeg heller utdype litt mer senere, har ikke så god tid nå og her gjelder det å ordlegge seg rett)

Men musikken som all over har betydd mest i mitt liv, utenom hip-hop sjangeren, er rock!!
Jeg elsker rock, i alle former og fasonger!:) men foruten alle de store selvskrevne artistene i rock, er jeg aller mest glad i å oppleve de litt små, kanskje litt sære bandene som ikke så mange har hørt om. Det er så mange spennende band der ute og siden jeg er litt sær og nerd selv når det kommer til musikk, så elsker jeg å "oppdage" disse småbandene og deres fantastiske musikk og tekster. Det er ofte her du finner de beste og sterkeste tekstene. Mange av de største mainstream bandene, skriver gjerne tekster for å fenge de store massene og det blir veldig mye det samme som går igjen. De mindre bandene er ofte ikke bundet opp av avtaler med griske managere og plateselskap eller av forventningene om hva man "bør og skal" skrive om. Ergo står de mye friere og kan tillate seg mer kunstnerisk frihet. Skal lage et eget blogginnlegg med mine favoritter og band jeg syns er verdt å sjekke ut - lager det i et eget innlegg, så blir det litt mer ryddig :)

De tekstene på siden hvor det foreløpig ikke står noe navn i parentes under, er tekster jeg har skrevet selv. Dette er ikke ferdige rene sangtekster, men bare ord og tekster som har kommet til meg i perioder av livet mitt når ting ikke alltid har vært like greit. Råmateriale om du vil kalle det det, kunne tenkt meg å få noen til å hjelpe meg med å skrive dem om til sangtekster med melodi til. Så om det er noen der ute som kan tenke seg å hjelpe en ungpike i nød, er det bare å gi meg en liten shoutout :)
Er også veldig åpen for å ta i mot konstruktiv kritikk på hva dere synes om de. Kommer nok til å legge ut litt mer etter hvert også, men må sortere litt i alt jeg har liggende. Noe er av nyere dato, mens andre er skrevet for mange mange år siden.

Da må jeg løpe, men kommer snart tilbake for å skrive mer!

Take care!

Sway

Say whatever you to say, I`ll stand by you
And do whatever you have to do,
to get it out and not become a reactionary
To hurt the ones you love,
You know you never ment to, but you do
Oh yeah, you do

Be whoever you have to be, I won`t judge you
And sing whatever you have to sing,
to get it out and become a reacluse about your house
Come out,
I know you never ment to, but you do
Oh but you do

Still I need your sway, cos you always pay for it
And I, and I need your soul, cos you`re always soulfoul
And I, and I need your heart, cos you`re always in the right places

And take whatever you have to take, you know I love ya
Come however you have to come, and get it out and get it out

And take it out on me and take it out on me
I`ll give it you all, I give it you all, I give it
I give it you all, I give it you all, yes I will give it you all

Cause I need your sway, cos you always pay for it
And I, and I need your soul, cos you`re always soulfoul
And I, and I need your heart, cos you`re always in the right places

Oh yes, I will, I will give it you all

Still I need your sway, cos you always pay for it
And I, and I need your soul, cos you`re always soulfoul
And I, and I need your heart, cos you`re always in the right places

Freshmen

When I wa young i knew everything
She a punk who rarely ever took advice
now I`m guilt strucken,
sobbin`with my head on the floor
stop a baby breath and a shoe full of rice

I can`t be held responsible
cause she was touching her face
I won`t be held responsible
she fell in love in the first place

For the life of me I cannot remember
what made us think that we were wice and
we`d never compromise
for the life of me I cannot believe
we`d ever die for these sins
we were merely freshmen

my best friend took a week`s
vacation to forget her
his girl tokk a week`s
worth valium and slept
now his guilt strucken,
sobbin` with his
head on the floor
thinks about her now and how he never
really wept
he says

I can`t be held responsible
cause she was touching her face
I won`t be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me I cannot remember
what made us think that we were wice and
we`d never compromise
for the life of me I cannot believe
we`d ever die for these sins
we were merely freshmen

We tried to wash our hands of all of this
we never talk about lacking relationships
and how we`re guilt strucken sobbin` with
our heads on the floor
we fell through the ice when we tried
not to slip, we said

I can`t be held responsible
cause she was touching her face
I won`t be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me I cannot remember
what made us think that we were wice and
we`d never compromise
for the life of me I cannot believe
we`d ever die for these sins
we were merely freshmen
we were merely freshmen
we were merely freshmen

(The Verve Pipes)

Everybody loves a loser

This time you have to face the future,
although it`s just a dusty road.
It`s clear that backing down don`t suit you
I`d hate to break your sacred code
People along for the ride
High noon, getting closer

I think you`ll find, everybody loves a loser
So you`ll be fine, you won`t be lonely long
I think you`ll find, everybody loves a loser
So you`ll be fine, you won`t be lonely long

I see, you need a trial of fire
A coward would wisely walk away
Help them, help us bide our time
Hideouts get discovered

I think you`ll find, everybody loves a loser
So you`ll be fine, you won`t be lonely long
I think you`ll find, everybody loves a loser
So you`ll be fine, you won`t be lonely long

I think you`ll find, everybody loves a loser
So you`ll be fine, you won`t be lonely long
I think you`ll find, everybody loves a loser
So you`ll be fine, you won`t be lonely long

(Morcheeba)

Harmony

You and me
were ment to be
walking free
in harmony
One fine day
we`ll fly away
don`t you know that
Rome wasn`t build in a day

Scars from a forgotten past

As you`re standing
out there in the cold
feeling the pain
of all the lies you told
Go crazy and insane
driven up against the wall
Have to face their questions
tell them what they want to hear
what they need to hear

Showing no fear
facing their lies
But hey,
what do you need little girl?
Got your happyface on,
but I know it`s just an act
have to face the fact
Hurting on the inside
bleeding on the outside
No one can see your scars
if you won`t let them

Remembering their faces,
still smelling their lust
The pain is still so fresh
Closing your eyes
trying to forget
But it only gets clearer
Cause that`s where the secrets and memories lyes
Screaming,
but there`s no sound
Beyond the point of no return
no rescue in sight
Pick up the broken pieces
of what was once me
Get my act together
cause this is my fate
Take it or leave it,
but try and forget
Make the most of it
Destiny`s not always kind or fair,
but after all
this is what you get for being naive..

Broken soul

Crying like a baby
lyin` on the floor
It`s so quiet here
now that you walked out the door
You`re gone
and all you left behind is this open scar
A wound that only time can heal
Not sure if my broken soul will let it though
Feels like I died inside
when you held me one last time
Told me everything `s gonna be alright
But you don`t know
the scars I already carry around
From another life
from another past

It`s hidden underneath my clothes
behind the mask of who you wanted me to be
who I wanted me to be
But deep inside my soul
inside where no one else can see
no one can reach
is a scared little girl
A memory of who I once were
Not sure if I even wanna go there myself
Not now
maybe tomorrow
When the pain is more distant
Locked in again
have to move on
Go outside,
face the world
Mask back on,
brave little girl
Happy face on
No one likes a sad face
or the real you..

Scared Little Girl

Fallin`...dreamin`..
trying to escape
These nightmares keeps haunting me,
can`t seem to get away
Always tumblin` around,
like a blind person,
trying to find my way

Can no longer see the truth,
You can only outrun your past for so long
Oh, memories..please be gone
Closin` my eyes,
but only gets clearer
Tryin` to sleep,
but keeps gettin` nearer
Closer to the edge
Trippin`...slippin`...

Memories of what used to be
Scared little girl,
wantin` to run away
Too ashamed...too proud
Don`t have the guts,
so escapin` to dreamland,
where everything`s good
Puffin` on a cloud,
but won`t last for long
Don`t care anymore,
let them play and have their way
As long as I get my sweet escape,
doesn`t matter what they do
Floatin` away...
on the river of hopes and dreams.
Knowing it`s just an illusion,
but it`s the only thing that feels real.
Forgettin` the world outside,
if only for a while.
It`s the only love I`ve known,
and I`m not scared anymore..

Velkommen!

Første innlegg på min nye blogg!:)
Håper at jeg etter hvert kan fylle siden med masse yummy musikk/art stoff og at jeg kan komme i kontakt med andre som har en like brennende interesse for musikk som meg :)

Ta mer enn gjerne kontakt med meg dersom dere har tips om nye grupper/artister/sanger jeg bør høre eller for å gi meg ris og ros for siden! Så lenge kommentarene er konstruktive, blir jeg veldig glad om dere legger igjen en hilsen :)

Hmm...skal ikke skrive så veldig mye mer i første omgang, nå skal jeg gå litt i tenkeboksen og finne ut hva jeg vil legge ut her inne først :)
