Ars Ethica

En ettertanke: Det kunne egentlig fungert som et greit meme. Velg noen sanger som du faktisk har i platesamlingen (og derfor betalt for…), og bruk dem til å lage en historie. Ikke bruk mer enn én sang fra hvert album, og ha en generell regel over det hele (f.eks. kun norsk musikk). For folk som ikke har så god kjennskap til sangen kan du poste et utdrag av teksten som jeg har gjort, og eventuelt lenke til en video av sangen.

DumDumBoys – Idyll (Blodig Alvor (NaNaNaNa), 1988) [tekst]

Brune øyne ser på meg
En fugl jeg aldri kan fange
Jeg må ha deg og du meg
For jeg elsker deg
Og du kjører i hundre
Aah du gjør meg gal!

Du har aldri sett meg uten deg
På langt nær så tøff, nei
Du får aldri dra din vei
Men rundt jorda med meg

Se hva vi har her – idyll
Hver gang du tar meg – idyll
Aah, jeg blir her – idyll
Spark, slå og knull meg – ekte idyll

Madrugada – Hands up I love you (The Nightly Disease, 2001) [tekst, video]

So do you like where we’re headed?
Does it make sense in your eyes?
Do you miss me, baby, when I fall asleep?
Do you reach out for my arm?
Do you find it’s too far away?
Do you?

Now tell me I’m handsome
I will tell you we are really not old at all
There’s no use to complain

Still you and no one else

Motorpsycho – Landslide (Phanerothyme, 2001) [tekst]

so easy that it’s hard
walking on a faultline, spending all the dreamtime
waiting for the landslide to hit home
so those self-seeking satellites stop spinning ’round
and are forced to choose a different course

who would wanna know?
if you’re not gonna show
how the crazy gift of time takes it’s toll
Impress me and say that you will put it straight
wipe off the residue and clean the slate
go get a grip before it’s all too late
all and everythings at stake.

Kings of Convenience – Leaning Against The Wall (Quiet is the new loud, 2001)

Your eyes are cold, I know you’ll tell me all.
Not to fall, I lean against the wall.
I’m on the floor, not listening anymore.
I should have known, the things to which you’re prone.
(You cross your arms, and tell no lies,
a thousand thoughts run through my mind,
a thousand words that I don’t need,
I never thought you could do this.)

Your eyes are cold, I know you’ll tell me all.
Not to fall, I lean against the wall.

Motorpsycho – Big Surprise (Let them eat cake, 2000) [tekst]

So it hurts – well,big surprise
get up, go and cut those ties
you’re nothing to her now
Eleven years all up in smoke
was it really just a joke?
Mistake’s too small a word

…

deLillos – Glemte Minner (Neste Sommer, 1993) [tekst]

Det er fint jeg ikke husker
Alt det som engang var
Det er bra jeg ikke minnes
At vi engang var et par
Det er flott jeg ikke husker
At jeg fulgte henne hjem
Alt det der er tatt av vinden
var det Telthusbakken fem

Heldigvis så har jeg glemt det
Hun er null og niks for meg
Og jeg husker ikke heller
At hun sa hun elsket meg

Thomas Dybdahl – Love Story (One Day You’ll Dance For Me New York, 2004) [tekst, video]

doesn’t it feel good
to know that you’ve been loved
and doesn’t it make you
laugh when you think of

the day when we all got lost on the old mans farm
just trying to get across
it was only then i knew what love was
sunday mornings that never ended and hangovers that never mended
a love story at it’s peak
