A walk through a time where the fields were still full of poppies, cornflowers and camomile and where my grandmother would use the linen tablecloth she inherited from her own grandmother....

Simple Google-Translation of the lyrics:
Photo in a frame
with your name
matt portrait from a bygone time

Me in a little dress
at your side
Flowers by the wayside of a time gone by

Your linen dress 
Your hand so soft
Feeling such a security

Stomp in the gravel path
I laugh while we chat
deep familiarity of a time gone by

Camomile scent 
and red poppies
Wandering through a time gone by

Your linen dress 
your hand so soft
I feel such security

Elderberry syrup 
and a sausage
Wandering through time gone by

In your lap
I am feeling at ease
while I hear your belly rumble

I feel the wind,
Dancing to myself
Through high pastures as an eternal child

In my flat
I look at the photo
Tears are rolling through all these times

I see your face
I feel your light 
And that you're still among us

"Hero" is both a love song and a song about wanting to leave a mark somewhere, perhaps a legacy, however indiscernible it might be. It's about wanting to be something like a heroic presence for someone dear, at least in some way, at least for one person, to leave special mark on them. Be a part of what ever world comes after us, even if unseen. There's a lot more purpose to our story than what's here for us in the here and now. In some way it reflects on that, towards not so readily undervaluing our presence in this world, however limited it might seem at the time.

==== LYRICS ====

I wanna be some kind of hero
But no I ain’t gonna save the world
Just be a little jump up from zero
So long as I don’t do my worst

Maybe be my best self
Whatever that could be
Least just be a little more help
With just a little less greed,
Might be some way I could be

I wouldn’t mind if it’s just for a single life
I might just run into the road
Even get crushed like little toads
If I could be your hero

I really don’t mind if it means I die
But I will let my soul burst out
And I’d be your hero if I’m allowed

I wanna be somebody’s hero
At least not bring anyone to harm
And be remembered for a spell
For all my wild shots in the dark

Maybe be my best self
Whatever that could be
Even if I need a bit of your help
And the strength of your belief
It might be some way I could be

I wouldn’t mind if I commit self sacrifice
I’d even run into the road
To push you free from broken bones
If I could be your hero

I really don’t mind if it means I die
But I will let my soul bleed out
Just to be your hero if I’m allowed

In my little corner of the world
That little segment might make a difference
In that little dot among the stars
That little dustspeck might lend some balance

Might be a little hero 
with a careless thread to sow
A little compost for a world 
I’d never come to know

I wouldn’t mind if it’s just for a single life
I might just run into the road
Even get crushed like little toads
If I could be your hero

I really don’t mind if it means I die
But I will let my soul burst out
And I’d be your hero if I’m allowed

"Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
That I love London so
Well, maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
That I think of her wherever I go"
– From the song "Maybe It's Because I'm a Londoner", by Hubert Gregg

A bitter-sweet, nostalgic song about leaving London to live elsewhere. Based on an unpublished memoir by Gerry Verdier; with lyrics by Michael Sellers & Gerry Verdier. The song is set in Balham, an area in south London, England.

The exclamation of surprise, disbelief, or excitement "Oh my days", which was in fact the initial catalyst in the writing of this song, was, according to The Oxford English Dictionary, "first recorded in 1895, and my days (in ‘Law, my days!’) in 1841, but it remained relatively rare until the twenty-first century. Although its recent revival in popularity—especially associated with its use in Multicultural London English—is sometimes said to have its origins in Caribbean usage, conclusive evidence for Caribbean roots for this resurgence has proved hard to find."

“Mind the gap.” – London Underground

“My Dad says that being a Londoner has nothing to do with where you’re born. He says that there are people who get off a jumbo jet at Heathrow, go through immigration waving any kind of passport, hop on the tube and by the time the train’s pulled into Piccadilly Circus they’ve become a Londoner.” – Ben Aaronovitch (Author)

“Wet weather in London, but when was it anything else?” – Cassandra Clare (Author)

Lyrics
London at daybreak
Brings with it heartache
I’ve got to leave you now
Cold on a corner
I won’t be warmer
Until my bus again comes round
And I’m heading out of town

Oh my days! My London days

Flats with their patch of green
Grey sky squeezed in between
Freezing rain begins to fall
Looking over my shoulder
Lost sight of my corner
On the A24 passing Balham Hill
The bus is warm but I feel a … chill

Oh my days! We’re parting ways
I’ll miss this city, vast, grey and gritty
Hushed now in morning haze

My London days! How will time play …
Tricks on my memories of friends and families?
And stories of our yesterdays?
My London days … My lost London days

Oh my days! We’re parting ways
I’ll miss this town
But my spirit’s not down
I’m far from the smoggy haze

My London days! How will time play …
Tricks on my memories of friends and families?
And stories of our yesterdays?
My London days … My lost London days

My London days! How will time play …
Tricks on my memories of friends and families?
And stories of our yesterdays?
My London days … My London days … My lost London days

Thank you dear Oddrun for this gift of music.  No REGRETS whatsoever about our friendship :)

Regrets.

Hear the whispers
Of the falling leaves
When I write the words
I will never speak
A few unspoken words
Appear like falling leaves

No heart would seek regret
But I hold its hand
And I will not forget
Sweet autumn fields
That lingers in my mind

A few unspoken words
Appears like falling leaves
At other times they wildly fly
Until they reach the sky

Regrets. Oddrun Eikli & Debra Buesking
