Hvordan enkelte får deg til å føle kan av og til være vanskelig å beskrive… Denne teksten kan være treffende. Les den! Lytt til den! Nyt den!
«Break In»
Put your lighter in the air and lead me back home When it’s all said and done I’ll follow the echoes I hear you night after night calling out my name And I find myself running to meet you I didn’t want to escape From the bricks that I laid down
You are the only one The only one that sees me Trusts me and believes me You are the only one The only one that knows me And in the dark you show me Yeah it’s perfectly reckless Damn, you leave me defenseless So break in Break in
You let me fall apart without letting go Then you pick up the pieces and you make me whole I didn’t want to escape From the bricks that I laid down
You are the only one The only one that sees me Trusts me and believes me You are the only one The only one that knows me And in the dark you show me Yeah it’s perfectly reckless Damn you leave me defenseless So break in
And take everything I have Until there is nothing left Until it’s just your voice in my head And when the lights come on You see me as I am You’re still inside me
You are the only one The only one that sees me Trusts me and believes me You are the only one The only one that knows me And in the dark you show me Yeah it’s perfectly reckless Damn you leave me defenseless So break in Break in
Musikk er noe som står høyt hos meg. Det har dere sikkert skjønt. Har derfor lyst til å dele en sang med dere sånn på tampen av lørdagskvelden.
Dette er ikke av typen musikk jeg vanligvis hører på. Likevel bør den deles. Den treffer meg i hjertet. Hver gang! Den trenger ingen ytterligere kommentarer. Den taler for seg selv.
Har du tatt deg tiden til å tenke over hva den egentlig handler om?
«Skyfri himmel»
Det einaste ho ønska seg va ein solskinnsdag Skyfri himmel En problemfri time i go’e venners lag Nykter, men svimmel Svimmel av glede, så glad for litt fred Det e’kje for møkje å ønska seg det Men du vett, det ska noke te Det e for ti’a ikkje sånn livet e
Det va ikkje sånn det sko vær Det va ikkje sånn det sko bli Hu drømte som lita om ei møkje bere ti’ Hu drømte om det go’a hu alldri fekk Alt sko bli bra bare ho kom seg vekk Det blei aldri slik Ein blir såra for om det e svik
Det einaste ho ønska seg va ein solskinnsdag Skyfri himmel En problemfri time i go’e venners lag Nykter, men svimmel Svimmel av glede, så glad for litt fred Det e’kje for møkje å ønska seg det Men du vett, det ska noke te Det e for ti’a ikkje sånn livet e
Dagen gjør vondt, og lyset e ingen venn Det e tryggast i mørke med skoddene igjen Det e ikkje alt i alt det e lika kjekt å se Det kan vær greit å sleppa lys på det ein drive’ me Det va ikkje sånn det sko vær Men mørke har et grådig begjær
Det e tungt å ta te’bake ein barndom som e tapt For kvart mislykka forsøk blir ein bare meir forlatt
Og det einaste ho ønska seg va ein solskinnsdag Skyfri himmel En problemfri time i go’e venners lag Nykter, men svimmel Svimmel av glede, så glad for litt fred Det e’kje for møkje å ønska seg det Men du vett, det ska noke te Det e for ti’a ikkje sånn livet e
Morten Besshø pekte på noe viktig i dag i et innlegg. Innlegget ble skrevet med tanke på FN-dagen som var i går. Han kom med en oppfordring til oss alle. En oppfordring om å glemme trivialiteter som et lite øyeblikk og rette oppmerksomheten mot de som ikke har det like godt som oss selv.
Jeg skrev en kommentar til dette innlegget… Jeg skrev blant annet:
«Selv om jeg aldri har blogget om “dagens outfit” eller lignende ubrukelige emner, så tar jeg til meg det du skriver. Tar oppfordringen om å sjenke noen tanker, og ord, til noen som ikke har det så bra som det vi har det. Skal la tanken modne, slik at innlegget, når det kommer, er ord som er gjennomtenkte og følte.»
Jeg skal holde dette løftet. Det kommer etterhvert et innlegg knyttet til dette. Men, ikke akkurat nå.
Akkurat nå så ønsker jeg bare å dele denne sangen med dere. Dette er et fantastisk band som jeg har vært så heldig å oppleve live. En av sangene deres passer godt i denne sammenhengen.
Og igjen, som alltid når jeg legger ut musikk…. Hør på sangen, lytt til testen. Den er vakker, og meningsfull. «Peace is free» synger de. Og jeg kunne ikke vært mer enig! Tenk litt over det….
«Peace Is Free»
Everybody feels blue sometimes You gotta keep your head up, and keep on tryin’ And if you feel the urge to raise your hand You can start a revolution or start a band You better sing your song and sing it loud But you better do it here and you better do it now ’cause this is one short life that we live You gotta listen people, this is what my song says
Don’t you bring your sadness down on me When peace is free There’s a sun up ahead brother, waitin’ on me Can’t you see
I know times can get a little tough You gotta lean on my brother, you can’t give up Forget about your problems, forget about your pain Raise up our glasses and forget about our hate
Don’t you bring your sadness down on me When peace is free There’s a sun up ahead brother, waitin’ on me Can’t you see
I know, I know it sounds so bad But if you want we’ll take a stand
Don’t you bring your sadness down on me When peace is free There’s a sun up ahead brother, waitin’ on me Can’t you see
Can’t the whole world love one another Throw down your weapons, fix all the hunger Don’t you bring your sadness down on me When peace is free
Vi lever i en tid hvor folk flest blir mer og mer egosentriske. Jakten på det perfekte liv er stadig i fokus. Individet skal realisere seg selv. Det rakkes ned på de som er mindre perfekte enn en selv.
Jeg er ikke perfekt. Ikke vil jeg være det heller. Jeg er bare meg! På godt og vondt. Jeg gjør mine feil, slik som alle andre.
Denne sangen får meg alltid til å tenke. Og jeg synes det er grunn til at den skal vekke ettertanke…
«Leave Out All The Rest»
I dreamed I was missing You were so scared But no one would listen ‘Cause no one else caredAfter my dreaming I woke with this fear What am I leaving When I’m done here?
So if you’re asking me I want you to know
When my time comes Forget the wrong that I’ve done Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed And don’t resent me And when you’re feeling empty Keep me in your memory Leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest
Don’t be afraid I’ve taken my beating I’ve shared what I’ve made I’m strong on the surface Not all the way through I’ve never been perfect But neither have you
So if you’re asking me I want you to know
When my time comes Forget the wrong that I’ve done Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed Don’t resent me And when you’re feeling empty Keep me in your memory Leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest
Forgetting all the hurt inside You’ve learned to hide so well Pretending someone else can come And save me from myself I can’t be who you are
When my time comes Forget the wrong that I’ve done Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed Don’t resent me And when you’re feeling empty Keep me in your memory Leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest
Forgetting all the hurt inside You’ve learned to hide so well Pretending someone else can come And save me from myself I can’t be who you are I can’t be who you are
Ønsker bare å dele denne på slutten av dagen. Er noe ved denne som føles treffende på et vis jeg ikke kan forklare. Les den. Lytt til den. Nyt den.
Who’s to say there’s a way this has to end. We’re writing our own rules, Who’s to blame give me names and what they said. Oh how could they hurt you And when you crumble away under pressure You need to borrow my strength and I’ll let ya. It’s getting heavier, hold, hold it steadier I seeLife is throwing you curves You can make it Take it in, try again You don’t deserve this I just wanna save you You can take it On the chin, try again You’ll make it You don’t have to carry the weight of the world You don’t have to carry the weight of the worldSeparate what you hate from what you love Once and for all and If you tumble my way I can catch ya If you follow my lead and I’ll bet ya It’s feeling heavier, hold, hold it steadier I see
Life is throwing you curves You can make it Take it in, try again You don’t deserve this I just wanna save you You can take it On the chin, try again You’ll make it You don’t have to carry the weight of the world You don’t have to carry the weight of the world
Life is throwing you curves You can make it Take it in, try again You don’t deserve this I just wanna save you You can take it On the chin, try again You’ll make it You don’t have to carry the weight of the world Don’t have to carry the weight of the world Carry the weight of the world You don’t have to carry the weight of the world
Denne treffer meg. På et vis. Les den. Lytt til den.
You’re a diamond, how I found you I still don’t know. But now I got you and I’ll never let you go. If your hearts a pocket looking for some change. My heart makes lots of sense
Just stay quiet, Breathe deep, Breathe out, Breathe slow. Don’t say a word. Let our eyes speak and they will tell you,
I’m a fool with dreams, and not a lot of things. I swear that I will be all you need. Don’t give up on me. Give me one more day. Don’t give this all away. We’ll be fine, you’ll see. Just don’t give up on me.
I’d be lying if I said that I’m not terrified. How the hell can I do as they say, and take this all in stride? Does this come with an instruction book? If so I need to have a look.
Just stay quiet, Breathe deep, Breathe out, Breathe slow. Don’t say a word. Let our eyes speak and they will tell you,
I’m a fool with dreams, and not a lot of things. I swear that I will be all you need. Don’t give up on me. Give me one more day. Don’t give this all away. We’ll be fine, you’ll see. Just don’t give up on me. Don’t give up on me. Don’t give up on me.
I know you’re scared inside, but baby so am I. It gets so hard to hide. I’m not going no where. I’m not going no where.
I’m a fool with dreams, and not a lot of things. I swear that I will be all you need. Don’t give up on me. Give me one more day. Don’t give this all away. We’ll be fine, you’ll see. You’ll see, You’ll see,
