Beautiful. <3

It is an incredibly cathartic tune.

You just promoted Swedish music, I just started loving you a wee bit more.

Only a WEE bit? Damn, I need fix this!

A song you might enjoy, you Swedish lover you! :3

15 seconds in and I FUCKING LOVE IT

Glad you like it, and then... you have one of the best Swedish bands out there.

Sadly, they usually never sing using the English language anymore.

...can't understand a word. Still fucking love it.

I will actually go ahead and translate it for you, maybe not all of it though... x3

Throughout my life I've heard a song
A lullaby you sang one time
Throughout my life I've only trusted myself
But now I need your help

Throughout my life I've heard a song
A song my mother sang
Throughout my life I've tried to think for myself
But I won't get any further without your help

And all my thoughts circles around strange things
The dreams we dreamt
Came from a borderland past the barbed wire
Where trenches were dug
And someone built the country while we slept

Now we're awake but we do not recognize a thing
They've torn down our streets
Burnt down the playgrounds we visited as kids
How far you've yet to come
It's even further still

And so on... don't want to write a massive page, but there you go. ;3

I'm not sure what's cooler. The lyrics or the fact that you took the time to translate the lyrics for me. <3<3<3

The thing is... once I start, I can't stop. x3

There was a light that never went out
In the songs from my childhood
Throughout my life I've relied on my luck
But this is something I can't escape from

And all of our ideals came from the pink 80's
Now we think of our journeys, white nights, Ian Curtis
Are you Michael Jackson or Michael Bolton
Are you Pepsi or do you have some Cola
Are you profitable in your nakedness, bruises and calluses

You're getting goosebumps from the cold
Is this all that life has to give
How far you've yet to come
It's even further still

And all my thoughts circle around expensive things
Oh baby where have you been
We've already lit the grill

We've been waiting here in the rain
For something that isn't happening
And never will happen

It's only a vague feeling
That something has been lost to us
That we wasted our best moments on jealousy
We haven't gotten further...

(Nine hundred ninety-nine
Nine hundred ninety-nine
Nine hundred ninety-nine
Nine hundred ninety-nine...)

The nine hundred and ninety-nine things I would never do
Are matched by the nine hundred ninety-nine worse things I've already done
The nine hundred and ninety-nine things I would never do
Are matched by the nine hundred ninety-nine worse things I've already done

There you go hun, all good and translated for ya. <3

...Remind me that I need to do something extremely nice for you next time I see you around because just DAMN.

It's not thaaat big of a service... but you're very welcome hun. ^_^
