Pipas

Filed under: Days in my life

I have just listened to the small interview at P3 pop with the all so lovely Lupe and Mark and I thought to myself. Why have not I written a word or two about their great album?! So here it goes…

As usual, I am not a reviewer and please, never consider me as one either. So… The first thought that hit me was once again, and I decided that I would build this post around those words. It is a nice song by The Spliffs, the lyrics go like this “She said “don´t leave a stone unturned
Don´t move too quickly or you´ll burn out on life
You don´t have to walk that extra mile
I´ll be there waiting if you need someone sometime”

It kind of, in someway maybe, tells us the story behind the album. It has taken a long time (well worth the wait!), one of the reasons being that they live in different countries today as you could hear on P3. But they left no stone unturned, they turn every redwine-rosy leaf of my heart.

The chorus goes like this “I find once again that my feet are moving
I find once again that I´m back on line

etc…. And they came to sweden, stole my heart, once again. But unlike the last time I had a full album to hold in my hands. To play on repeat. It is as wonderful as always, so if you have liked their previous releases you will most definetly love this one.

A song that was on their tour cd-r last year appeared as song #2 on the album, the album is by the way called Sorry Love

and it is released on Long lost cousin, since that cd-r I have loved it to pieces and I still do. So do yourself a popfavour and listen to this song (while watching the video) and then do Pipas a favour and buy the album=)

I just can´t help myself…

Filed under: Days in my life

Just seen a movie, not all that flathering I must say (the name of it is insignificant). The rain is hitting on my window, I like the rain. Finally I could watch a movie with my window open, without having to hear voices from the street. So I thought, why do people love the summer so much, why do they not like the rain. You know, silly thoughts like that, thoughts that I think on a daily basis. Thoughts I wonder with, which I think about, back and forth. Foolish. I must say that I am quite foolish. No, correction, I am a fool. But I do not mind. I do not even care, or at least I wish I did not. Sometimes I do. Silly.

You might think, why is it that he is writing all this rubbish? Because that is the reason that this site exists. The reason why it began. Not some mp3 or cd/vinyl. No, for me, by me,

but for you to see.
Before I always tended to have an idea about what it was that I was going to write. Now I do not. So here is something that may make things seem a bit clearer. At least it does to me.

Det finns ett du,

och det finns ett jag.

Men varför kan inte dessa sammansmälta

in i ett.

För att du är du,

och jag är jag.

Men varför, tänk så enkelt

allting skulle kunna vara.

Vi skulle bara kunna,

vara.

För utan mig,

och utan dig

så finns det inget du,

och inget jag.

Hur skulle vi kunna möta världen,

tackla världen,

slå världen.

Hur skulle vi kunna

andas,

ännu en dag.

Do not write in the middle of the night, you are too tired to be able to get it as you wish. On the preview the spaces between the words are correct, since it was written by me I know where to ähh… det är på svenska så då kan jag väl likväl skriva på svenska. Betoningarna på orden är en väldigt vital del av det jag nyss skrev. Men eftersom att mellanrummen inte lyckas gå mig till viljes så får jag nöja mig med att veta att jag vet. God natt.
