Vintersaga

På förra årets idrottsgala "hedrades" Mikael Ljungberg, som tog livet av sig under året, med att Jerry Williams sjöng sin Vintersaga. Det är då som det stora vemodet, rullar in (ni vet). Det var i anslutning till tsunamikatastrofen så teve kunde inte bränna på med storslagna sorgetrumman. Lågmält. Bilder på den självmördade tillsammans med vintersagan. Inget snack. Inga hyllningar. Fint.

Ibland vill jag bara frossa i svårmod. Då älskar jag att sitta ensam i mörkret och lyssna på låtar om förlorade kära eller krossad kärlek. Flipsyde´s "Happy Birtday" är ett bra exempel. Låten handlar om ett barn som aldrig blev. "Köp" den och sjunk ner i vemodet och kom tillbaka som en ny människa.

I payed for the murder before they determined the sex
Choosing our life over your life meant your death
And you never got a chance to even open your eyes
Sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you faught for your life?
Would you have been a little genius in love with math?
Would you have played in your schoolclothes and made me mad?
Would you have been a little rapper like your papa da Piper?
Would you have made me quit smokin' by finding one of my lighters?
I wonder about your skintone and shape of your nose?
And the way you would have laughed and talked fast or slow?
Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
Happy birthday, love you whoever you woulda been
Happy birthday...

När jag var yngre svårmodade jag till "bye bye Johnny" med Return.

Yesterday, you and me, and the other people had a party. But who could know
it was the last time.
We got drunk and sang together, chasing girls we should have lived forever, you
didn't even get home.
Bye bye Johnny goodbye, it's not your fault that you died. I can't help it
i'we got to ask a reason why, you god old Johnny did die.
no one know, so many of your friends did cry
and that's no meaning in why you should say bye bye.

Now today when you are gone i'm still drunk but i can't find the reason
why you had to leave so soon
Guess that's how it had to be
raise in heaven, living free can't you come back to us please

Skriver mer när svårmodet har lagt sig. (så jävla billigt att skriva låttexter eftersom ingen läser dom ändå)
