Återkommer ofta till en låt när jag är lite nere, insåg just nu hur väl texten passar till denna situation. Visserligen viss modifiering, är trots allt en kille som sjunger… Får tacka Bonnie ’Prince’ Billy för den underbara låten. Jag blir inte ledsen av att lyssna på den, utan den ger mig ett lugn, en njutning mitt i det jobbiga.
Many times we’ve been out drinking
And many times we’ve chared our thoughts
Did you ever, ever notice the kind of thoughts I’ve got?
Well you know I have a love
A love for everone I know
And did you know I have a drive
To live I won’t let go
Could you see it’s opposition
Comes rising up sometimes?
And it’s dreadful antiposition
Comes blacking in my mind
And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you?
Is there hope that somehow you, you
Can save me from this darness
I hope that someday buddy, we’ll have peace in our lives
Together or apart, alone or with our wives
We can stop our whoring, and pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever and never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother, this isn’t all I see
I know, I see a darkness
I know, I see a darkness
I know, I see a darkness
I know, I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you?
Is there hope that someday you, you
Can save me from this darkness?
