Wahahahaha…right now I think I’m addicted to Lene Marlin’s “Another Day” and “Disguise”. Thanks to Nad who lent me her 2 Lene Marlin cds. I listened to the “Another Day” cd like non-stop at work.
I think I might make my next layout one that features Lene Marlin. Maybe…
Love the way the lyrics go for her songs. A little bit on the sad side but not fairytale-like. Very real. Like talking about everyday things that can happen to anybody. Yupz, I love songs with realistic lyrics.
Here’s one with what I call realistic lyrics. I think it’s about someone who committed suicide.
“Story” by Lene Marlin
I heard about your story from a friend
To let go and make an end, that’s what you did
You left some words saying now it would be good
You knew they’d cry, but you hoped they understood
Things you’ve had to face, what you have seen
To make it through each day, you tried,
Without the tears
They tried to help, but they didn’t see you crawl
They knew you fought, but they never
Thought you’d fall
They never thought you’d fall.
Tell them please, how could they know
Hurts inside, no scars to show
You played the lead, and never once you failed
And the place from where you watch us now
Hope you’ve found your peace somehow,
Peace somehow
I heard about your story through the years
Know ’bout all your hurt and fears
I won’t forget
I wrote a song that I wish for you to hear
It’s about yourself and the life you couldn’t bear
Tell them please, how could they know
Hurts inside, no scars to show
You played the lead, and never once you failed
And the place from where you watch us now
Hope you’ve found your peace somehow,
Peace somehow
I wanna remember all there’s about you,
And I know there’s so much
I see all the faces, the tears and embraces
Wish you could be here to see it too
