2013 Förr Eller Senare Hinner Samvetet Ikapp

recorded July - August 2022 at Ealsden Red and Black Digital Studio Skärholmen
written by Björn Jakobsson

lyrics:

I don’t care if you don’t want me,
I am yours forever more
I will rise again and stand on my two feet
when you knock me to the floor

I have loved you now for ages
I don’t remember the start
I have no memory of how it all began
Just your song that went right through my heart

I feel your power every season
I cannot explain what you have done
You are the everlasting reason
You’re the music, You’re the one

In strenuous times, you’ve been the Kleenex
You could wipe away my tears
Thanks to you, I could rise like Phoenix
You would mitigate my fears

I’m not the only one who loves you
There are millions, I am sure
You are so important; I cannot keep you for myself.
I can share you with billions or even more

I feel your power every season
I cannot explain what you have done
You are the everlasting reason
You’re the music, You’re the one

There have been times when I just took you for granted
There were times when I questioned my right to love
There may be times when I think it is all just an illusion
But then I get hit by your boxing glove

I feel your power every season
I cannot explain what you have done
You are the everlasting reason
You’re the music, You’re the one

Please don’t be late for the execution
It will be something extra this time
Don’t be late for the execution
It’ll be both beautiful and sublime
The gallows is rising so high as they can be
and the gallows is rising for me

It’s time for a grand celebration
celebrating ending a common life
slowly arriving the final station
hopefully ending this eternal strife
Is it fair or unfair, why would anyone care?
and yours truly will soon hang up there.

Who are the ones that are cheering?
The ones who like to throw the stones
Those are the voices I am hearing?
The ones who’ll dance on my decaying bones

Look at all the flags that are waving
Listen to all the joyful songs
Well, what’s the point now of behaving?
What’s the point of rights and wrongs?
If I had faith, I could at least feel some hope
but now the only thing I feel is the rope.

THE GALLOWS

My darling Carmencita
This is a letter from me
I miss you more than life itself
but everything's as it's meant to be
My darling Carmencita
Forget me not, I pray
because I'll know we'll have to wait long
for that amazing day

My darling Carmencita
You visit me in my sleep
I may be just a fool
but my longing just gets extra deep
Don't worry, Carmencita
There's hope in life, you see
Don't listen to nasty voices
You can be whatever you want to be

Every little blackbird seems to whisper in the bushes, Carmencita
Your voice is like a beehive filled with honey for free
Every little star in the sky whisper your name, Carmencita
but I think it is the love itself you love and not me

My darling Carmencita
No matter where we'll end
Your future is bright
and I'll have at least a friend
My darling Carmencita
I can still see the trees
and if you want to reach my heart
you know where I keep the keys

MY DARLING CARMENCITA

lyrics:  


I was taught by my mother that I should always do good	
when attacked I should turn the other cheek	
and I tried it for a long time, much longer than I should	
There’s nothing at all to gain on being meek. 

It's good to think and dream about a world that's ideal	
but dreams only feel great when you’re deep asleep
Remember, they are just dreams, will they ever be real?
in reality, things work better if you're a creep	

When you hurt someone, you'll be rewarded
When you try to do good, you'll get spat in your face
When you run someone over, you'll get applauded	
We sure live in a most peculiar place.	

Once upon a long time ago I was an angel complete with wings
who never wanted to make anybody sad
a friendly little marionette controlled by moral strings
but I remember it was more fun being bad

But someday it’s time to grow up and get some sense	
Do we have any goals or are we just out for a jaunt?
Do we create the monsters that laugh at our expense?	
After all we create the society we really want	

When you hurt someone, you'll be rewarded
When you try to do good, you'll get spat in your face
When you run someone over, you'll get applauded	
We sure live in a most peculiar place.

A MOST PECULIAR PLACE

ANGELA AKI - Tsugaru Kaikyou Fuyu Keshiki

inspelad i augusti 2020 i Ealsden R&B studio Skärholmen
text och musik: Björn Jakobsson

text:

Genom natten som täcker mig
Gruvligt svart och utan skäl
Otroligt att någon oroar sig
för min obesegrade själ

Fastän fast i omständigheternas grepp
Jag kan stå stark trots alla slag
Jag bara längtar ombord på frihetens skepp
Min blick är blodig men inte svag

Bortom skräckens mörkaste tårar
kan jag verka trött och utan hopp
och om än jag kan känna kalla kårar
kan aldrig terrorn fylla min kropp

Kan jag motstå varje frestare
och allt som lockar när timmen är sen?
Ja, för jag är mitt ödes mästare
och jag är min själs kapten

Fritt efter Henley

I'm a hobby musician, singer, songwriter from Sweden. I've been writing and recording music in my own humble manner for 30 years now, and some day I hope to finally get the hang of it.
