Can someone cry about this song with me? This is HEARTBREAKING. And it's not the story, either. It's something in how tenderly the narrator speaks, in contrast to the harsher/grungier undertones of the song...I don't know. Somehow it struck the right chord with me.
Got reminded to share my music - thanks Chessie. This is the song currently playing. It's in Faroese (unless I'm mistaken) and it's quite representative of the mood/setting of my current story:
Well, if that's the way it is...
This song was originally written by Swedish 18th century poet Carl Michael Bellman and here performed by 80's rock band Imperiet - probably best known for its singer, punk rock legend Joakim Thåström:
Not that I'd call this rock, but it's absolutely awesome still - especially if you understand the lyrics.
Been listening to a lot of Green Day lately. Between their new album and the performance they gave at the AMAs the other night, I feel they're more relevant now than they've been in a while.
