Sangtekster; legg inn den beste, morsomste, fineste etc. sangteksten du vet om!

[Mamarazzi]

Nå vet jeg ikke hvor man kan søke på nett for å få opp sangtekster, og når jeg i tillegg er mest vant til å fremføre musikk via instrument, så er ikke tekstinnhold (skrevet av andre) mitt sterkeste punkt, men et par tekster har gjort større inntrykk enn andre (her: kun ved tittel):

Cat's in the cradle - Harry Chapin/andre
Harvest Moon - Neil Young
The River - Bruce Springsteen
Shine on you you crazy diamond - Pink Floyd
Barn av regnbuen - Lillebjørn Nilsen

Jeg har alltid vært svak for denne sentimentale Rolling Stones-låta:

As Tears Go By

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by

My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch
As tears go by

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doin' things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch
As tears go by

Ååååå . Sunget av Marianne Faithful

En av mine favoritter heter "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)"
- Written by Mary Schmich (Chicago Tribune)
- Performed by Baz Luhrmann

Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '99.
Wear Sunscreen!

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, "sunscreen" would be it.
The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists,
whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.
Oh, never mind.
You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded.
But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself
and recall in a way you can't grasp now
how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.

You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future.
Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind,
The kind that blindside you at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts.
Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy.
Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind.
The race is long and, and in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive.
Forget the insults.
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters.
Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life.
The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives.
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees.
You'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll divorce at 40.
Maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.

Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much,
or berate yourself either.
Your choices are half chance.
So are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body.
Use it every way you can.
Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it.
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance.

Even if you have nowhere to do it but in your living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines.
They will only make you feel ugly.

(Choir, in some versions)
Brother and sister together we'll make it through.
Someday a spirit will take you and guide you there.
I know you've been hurted but I've been waiting to be there for you,
and I'll be there just helping you out whenever I can.

Get to know your parents.
You never know when they'll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings.
They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go,
but with a precious few you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get,
the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.
Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths:
Prices will rise.
Politicians will philander.
You, too, will get old.
And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young,
prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you.
Maybe you have a trust fund.
Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse.
But you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy,
but be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal,
wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

(Choir, in some versions)
Brother and sister together we'll make it through.
Someday a spirit will take you and guide you there.
I know you've been hurted but I've been waiting to be there for you,
and I'll be there just helping you out whenever I can.

Everybody's Free, Everybody's Free To Feel Good!

Med en liten jente som plutselig er blitt ni år og plutselig er på vei til å bli stor så får jeg tårer i øynene og klump i halsen hver gang jeg hører denne:

ABBA - Slipping through my fingers

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that Im losing her forever
And without really entering her world
Im glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see whats in her mind
Each time I think Im close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
Then when shes gone theres that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I cant deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
(slipping through my fingers all the time)
Well, some of that we did but most we didnt
And why I just dont know

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see whats in her mind
Each time I think Im close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers...

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile...

[Milfrid]

Dette er en av de fineste sangene jeg vet, muligens fordi jeg kjenner meg veldig igjen i den.

Coldplay - fix u

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above earth or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream, down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I...

Tears stream, down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

Denne synes jeg også er nydelig:

Meteora/Linkin Park - Numb

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me?
Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control
?Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know I may end up failing too
But I know you were just like me
With someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be

ABBA - Slipping through my fingers

Har alltid likt melodien, helt siden jeg selv var barn. Teksten fikk jeg ikke øynene opp for før vi så filmen Mamma Mia. Det er nok en tekst som treffer ekstra godt etter at man har blitt forelder selv. Da treffer den til gjengjeld så godt, at jeg synes det er på grensen til dårlig gjort. Tenk å gjøre en voksen, lettrørt og melankolsk anlagt mann tårevåt. Midt i uka, og all tingen.

Jeg nynner på denne hele dagen jeg:

'Cuz I like you so much better when you're naked
I like me so much better when you're naked
I like you so much better when you're naked
I like me so much better when you're naked.Yeah!

Jeg er nemlig fortsatt nyforelska.

Ellers liker jeg Hun er fri med Raga.


Og mange U2 låter.

Men den øverste liker jeg veeeeldig godt nå om dagen. :fårelska:

Tror ikke jeg har hørt denne... Allikevel har den nå satt seg på hjernen, uten melodi. Temmelig frustrerende, for da kan jeg ikke engang nynne med. Hva da, lettpåvirkelig? Jeg? Neeeida.

Fremført iført bunad og el-gitar. Herlig!

De fleste lydene fra Fraggleberget leveres med superlim. Den som har satt seg aller best fast her, er pussig nok sukket til hunden Sprocket. Det er en forløsende lyd å lage når man er lettere oppgitt over et eller annet

[maggypop]

Min favoritt, tror jeg:

There's a place in the sun for anyone
Who has the will
To chase one and I think I've found mine
Yes, I do believe I have found mine

So, close your eyes
And think of someone you physically admire
And let me kiss you, oh
Let me kiss you, oh

I zig-zagged all over America
And I cannot find a safety haven
Say, would you let me cry on your shoulder
I've heard that you'll try anything twice

Close your eyes
And think of someone you physically admire
And let me kiss you, oh
Let me kiss you, oh

But then you open your eyes
And you see someone that you physically despise
But my heart is open
My heart is open to you

[Lilo]

Josh Groban - You are loved

Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
When your heart's heavy
I...I will lift it for you

Don't give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you
I...I will break it for you

Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved

Don't give up
It's just the hurt that you hide
When you're lost inside
I...I will be there to find you

Don't give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you
I...I will shine to guide you

Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved

You are loved
Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
Don't give up
Every one needs to be heard
You are loved

Jeg kom over en fil der jeg samlet tekstene til en sang-samling jeg ga til en venninne da hun ble gravid (før jeg fikk barn selv) - det er stort sett sanger som handler om det å få eller ha barn. Det var ganske spesielt å lese gjennom dem nå. Jeg limer ikke inn hele tekstene, for da blir det så veldig langt, men her er listen:

Beginning Of A Great Adventure (Lou Reed)
(It might be fun to have a kid that I could kick around
a little me to fill up with my thoughts
A little me or he or she to fill up with my dreams
a way of saying life is not a loss)

Forever Young (Bob Dylan)
(May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift)

Ikaros (Björn Afzelius)
(Låt dina blommor slå rot där det finns jordmån, låt dina växter får leva där dom trivs
Lås inte in dina plantor i et drivhus, låt dom få slippa ett onaturligt liv
Låt den du älskar få pröva sina vingar, en dag så flyger din älskade rätt
Vill du bli respekterad av din avbild får du visa din avbild respekt)

Kooks (David Bowie)
(I bought you a pair of shoes
A trumpet you can blow and a book of rules
On what to say to people when they pick on you
'Cause if you stay with us you're gonna be pretty Kookie too ...)

I Knew I Loved You (Savage Garden) (Neida, den handler kanskje ikke "egentlig" om det å få barn, men det er lett å tolke den sånn også, synes jeg)
(I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life ...)

Memo To My Son (Randy Newman)
(I know you don't think much of me
But someday you'll understand
Wait'll you learn how to talk baby
I'll show you how smart I am!)

Isn't She Lovely (Stevie Wonder)
(Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderful
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old)

Beautiful Boy (John Lennon)
(Close your eyes, have no fear
The monsters gone, he's on the run and your daddy's here ...)

How Do You Feel Now (Barclay James Harvest)
(How do you feel now
We've got a reason to go on
Newly born
Seems like I've waited for a lifetime ...)

Sweet Child Of Mine (Sheryl Crow) (ja, jeg vet at det er en Guns N'Roses-sang, men det var nå Sheryl Crow-versjonen som var på denne samlingen)
(He's got eyes of the bluest skies as if they thought of rain
I'd hate to look into those eyes and see an ounce of pain)

World Before Columbus (Suzanne Vega)
(If your life were taken from me
All the trees would freeze in this cold ground
It would be as cruel as the world before Columbus
Sail to the edge and I'd be there looking down)

Child Of Mine (Carole King)
(The times you were born in
May not have been the best
But you can make the times to come
Better than the rest
I know you will be honest
If you can't always be kind
Oh yes sweet darling
So glad you are a child of mine)

[Kirsebær]

Diamanter og kirsebær med John Olav Nilsen og gjengen.

På kvelder som dette
vil eg kysse pistolen
legge et kirsebær på hodet
og si takk og farvel.
Og eg åpner døren
med et smell
som tar meg over broen
og gjennom et fjell og
oppe på toppen
si god natt til kroppen
gir deg til vinden og la legenden leve så.
Men hon vil se farger
og eg e bare blå.
Hon gjør det hon vil
eg gjør et par ting eg må.

Som å knuse flasker
fortauskanter
nærmeste eg kommer
diamanter
diamanter og kirsebær
diamanter og kirsebær
diamanter og kirsebær
diamanter og kirsebær

For det e meg og deg
i verdens sjønneste løgn
Komman, kom igjen
Vi lurer oss sjøl i kveld å åh....

Og dagene spinner
rundt flasker og kvinner
Eg forsvinner mot lyset
og selg skinnet så billig
så retter eg ryggen
og drar meg gjennom stormen
Bli med meg og sol deg i sorgen.

oppe på toppen
si god natt til kroppen
gir deg til vinden og la legenden leve så.
Men hon vil se farger
og eg e bare blå
Hon gjør det hon vil
eg gjør et par ting eg må.

Som å knuse flasker
fortauskanter
nærmeste du kommer
diamanter
diamanter og kirsebær
diamanter og kirsebær
diamanter og kirsebær
diamanter og kirsebær

For det e meg og deg
i verdens sjønneste løgn
Komman, kom igjen
Vi lurer oss sjøl igjen å bare boom....

Gir oss over
over
mens de bare de
sover
de sover
og vi bare
gir oss over
over
til Diamanter og kirsebær...
