Ane Brun - These Days
There were nights, and mornings, when you'd come to me.
Find your way into my bones, my joints, into my veins.
Like an animal you called your darkness around me
you spelled your name in charcoal all over my body
But these days I just walk with you
These days, I let you stay
A little further away but I'll walk with you
These days, I let you stay
There were summer days and nights when I was blind to you.
You were quiet and you were still even when the moon was full
My temporary state of lightness would scare me
After all I was sure you were most wrong then, I was daring.
But these days I just walk with you
These days, I let you stay
These days, I just talk with you
These days, I let you stay
A little further away but I'll walk with you
These days, I let you stay
The things you showed me over the years,
The roads you blocked and how you define me
These days, I just walk with you
These days, I let you stay
These days, I just talk with you
These days, these days
David Bowie - "Heroes"
I
I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins
Like dolphins can swim
Though nothing
Will keep us together
We can beat them
For ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes
Just for one day
I
I will be king
And you
You will be queen
Though nothing
Will drive them away
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be us
Just for one day
I
I can remember
Standing
By the wall
And the guns
Shot above our heads
And we kissed
As though nothing could fall
And the shame
Was on the other side
Oh we can beat them
For ever and ever
Then we can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
The Sundays - Here's Where The Story Ends
People I know places I go
Make me feel tongue tied
I can see how people look down
They're on the inside
Here's where the story ends
People I see, weary of me
Showing my good side
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
Here's where the story ends
Ooh here's where the story ends
It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
Oh I never should have said the books that you read
Were all I loved
It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes me wonder why
It's the memories of the shed that make me turn red
Surprise surprise surprise
Crazy I know, places I go
Make me feel so tired
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
Oh here's where the story ends
Ooh here's where the story ends
It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
& who ever would've thought the books that you brought
Were all I loved
Oh the devil in me said go down to the shed
I know where I belong
But the only thing I ever really wanted to say
Was wrong, was wrong, was wrong
It's that little souvenir of a colorful year
Which makes me smile inside
So I cynically, cynically say the world is that way
Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise
DOWNLOAD these three.
I already listened to the song “These Days” by Ane Brun. Well, I little bit puzzled by this song. This is not like the other songs that can tell us the meaning of their song widely open, which is this song about love song, or something. I remembered yesterday when in your class, Adrian. I got an idiom about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I think this song pretty much like that idiom, she have two personalities during the days and nights. When she said I let you stay, I think she probably just hold back something. Also, she successfully make this song have a gloomy atmosphere and some kind of darkness side. Unfortunately, I don’t have any other ideas beside this. Back to her voice, when I heard her highest tone in this song, it makes me remembered Ellie Goulding, the English singer that have British accent. But when I search in the internet, she is come from Norway, not UK. For your information, I am still curious the meaning behind this song.
