Comment: "One night I dreamt that I had a giraffe. We were the best of friends, my giraffe and I! I climbed up on it, and we jumped out of a window and rode away. We rode through forests, over meadows and mountains. On the horizon we saw a big red sun rising, and a flock of colourful birds flew by. When I woke up I felt immensly happy; it was such a strange and beautiful dream! At that time I was just about to start writing an orchestra piece for the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra and it just felt natural to let the piece be inspired by the dream. Camelopardalis is a constellation in the northern sky, and the word is Latin for giraffe. Somewhere in the middle of the piece you may hear the song of the giraffe, presented by the bassoon…"

Noc[tur]ne i Kärlek

DOKTOR HESSELMARK

(Doktor, doktor, doktor Hesselmark)

När jag mår piss tar jag min mobil
Och slår numret till Doktor Eva
Ångest direkt - kan du hjälpa till?
Jag vill inte längre leva
Hon svarar “Jag kommer direkt”
Jag tänker “Det här är perfekt”
Med Ångest direkt

(Doktor, doktor, doktor Hesselmark)

Har du behov av en konsultation?
Slå bara numret till Dr Eva
Hon sköter allt ifrån deklaration
Till att få stadgar att fungera
Pappersjobb, demokrati
Förenat med psykologi
Hon är ett geni

(Doktor, doktor, doktor Hesselmark)

Men låt oss få ge dig ett råd
Livet är fritt att leva
Så fortsätt som du gör

Och var aldrig rädd för någonting
Gå dina steg längs vägen
som heter Evas väg

Ha mäktiga samlag ibland
Gå på en tur med Henrik
Och laga läcker mat

Och om du behöver nån hjälp
Var aldrig rädd, ta upp din telefon
Och ring till Tuffa Gänget
(Doktor, doktor, doktor Hesselmark)

Grattis Doktor Hesselmark önskar TG!
