Simply fantastic
It's true, You make me strong
You must think I'm strong
To give me what I'm going through
Well, forgive me
Forgive me if I'm wrong
But this looks like more than I can do
On my own
I know I'm not strong enough to be
everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not strong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
For the both of us
Well, maybe
Maybe that's the point
To reach the point of giving up
Cause when I'm finally
Finally at rock bottom
Well, that's when I start looking up
And reaching out
Cause I'm broken
Down to nothing
But I'm still holding on to the one thing
You are God
and you are strong
When I am weak
I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
And I don't have to be
Strong enough
To give me what I'm going through
Well, forgive me
Forgive me if I'm wrong
But this looks like more than I can do
On my own
I know I'm not strong enough to be
everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not strong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
For the both of us
Well, maybe
Maybe that's the point
To reach the point of giving up
Cause when I'm finally
Finally at rock bottom
Well, that's when I start looking up
And reaching out
Cause I'm broken
Down to nothing
But I'm still holding on to the one thing
You are God
and you are strong
When I am weak
I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
And I don't have to be
Strong enough
- Matthew West
The Weary Kind
SUCH a good song. I get so emotional every time I listen to it.
Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul
I'm all at sea
Where no-one can bother me
Forgot my roots
If only for a day
Just me and my thoughts sailing far away
Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul
Please just leave me right here on my own
Later on you could spend some time with me
If you want to
All at sea
Now I need you more than ever, I need you more than ever, now
You don't need it every day
But sometimes don't you just crave
To disappear within your mind
You never know what you might find
So come and spend some time with me
We will spend it all at sea
Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul
Please just leave me right here on my own
Later on you could spend some time with me
If you want to
All at sea
Where no-one can bother me
Forgot my roots
If only for a day
Just me and my thoughts sailing far away
Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul
Please just leave me right here on my own
Later on you could spend some time with me
If you want to
All at sea
Now I need you more than ever, I need you more than ever, now
You don't need it every day
But sometimes don't you just crave
To disappear within your mind
You never know what you might find
So come and spend some time with me
We will spend it all at sea
Like a warm drink it seeps into my soul
Please just leave me right here on my own
Later on you could spend some time with me
If you want to
All at sea
She & Him
The moment I wake up
Forever good. Especially tonight. It's been a 60's music's night.

Let the songs I sing bring joy to you
Let the words I say confess my love
Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune
Father let my heart be after you
In this hour of doubt I see
Who I am is not just me
So give me strength to die myself
So love can live to tell the tale
Let the songs I sing bring joy to you
Let the words I say confess my love
Let the notes I choose be your favorite tune
Father let my heart be after you
Best album right now. This and "Sigh No More" - Mumford & Sons.

Håkan Hellström
Du säger att du är stark
Att du har vart igenom det här förut
Du kommer fortsätta
Det finns inte mycket mer att säga nu
Vi två hör hemma
I ett rum med inga andra
Om jag var tio år yngre
Skulle jag inte behöva dig längre
Någon dag är jag din jakttrofé som du övergav
Någon dag kanske jag kör över dig här utanför
Varför måste vi döda varandra
Nåt säger mig att du blir borta
En lång lång tid
Jag kommer inte älska dig
För resten av livet
Vill inte leva med tungan hängades utanför
Och tycka synd om mig själv
Håkan är grym på att skriva texter.
Texter som människor kan ta till sig, som berör, som går in i hjärtat.
Om han kan sjunga yttrar jag mig inte om, men skriva, det kan han.
Håkan Hellström knows how to write songs.
Can't say anything about his voice and how he sings,
but he can definitely write songs that touches your heart.
The lyrics above is from this song.
Så skönt för öronen
April come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain;
May, she will stay,
Resting in my arms again
June, she´ll change her tune,
In restless walks she´ll prowl the night;
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight.
August, die she must,
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold;
September I´ll remember.
A love once new has now grown old.
Simon and Garfunkel är så skönt för öronen. Speciellt den här lugnande dosen toner.
Wonderful tunes to my ears.
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain;
May, she will stay,
Resting in my arms again
June, she´ll change her tune,
In restless walks she´ll prowl the night;
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight.
August, die she must,
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold;
September I´ll remember.
A love once new has now grown old.
Simon and Garfunkel är så skönt för öronen. Speciellt den här lugnande dosen toner.
Wonderful tunes to my ears.
Regina Spektor
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before
All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before
All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
Idag är en dag för She & Him
Today is a She & Him day.

Koppången
Den här fina, fina sången har fått en särskild plats i mitt hjärta. Den är vacker och stämningsfull, och texten får mig att rysa lite.
This Swedish winter song is so beautiful. Listen to it and try to understand the lyrics through Google Translate. Helen Sjöholm has a wonderful voice and is a very famous and talented singer in Sweden. Enjoy!
Här är stillhet å tystnad, nu när marken färgats vitTranslation:
från den trygga, gamla kyrkan klingar sången ända hit
Jag har stannat vid vägen, för att vila mej ett tag
å blev fångad i det gränsland som förenar natt och dag
Och ett sken ifrån ljusen bakom fönstrets välvda ram
har förenat dom själar som finns med oss här i tiden
å jag vet att dom som har lämnat oss, har förstått att vi är
liksom fladdrande lågor, så länge vi är här
Där, bland gnistrande stjärnor som förbleknar en och en,
kommer livet väldigt nära som en skymt av sanningen.
Vi är fångar i tiden, som ett avtryck av en hand på
ett frostigt, gammalt fönster som fått nåd av tidens tand
En sekund är jag evig, å sen vet jag inget mer...
Bara ett, att jag lever lika fullt som någon annan.
Jag är här, å mitt på en frusen väg finns det värme ändå
fastän snön börjat falla och himmelen blir grå
Och ett sken ifrån ljusen bakom fönstrets välvda ram
har förenat dom själar som finns med oss här i tiden
å jag vet att dom som har lämnat oss, har förstått att vi är
liksom fladdrande lågor, så länge vi är här.

It's about time
Walking down to the water's edge
Where I have been before
If I don't find my love sometime
I'm walking out that door
Some may come and some may go
But no-one seems to be
The person I've been searching for
The one whose meant for me
Biding my time, trying to find a heart that's lonely
Looking for him, my love my one and only
Maybe I'll dream, tonight about the boy who'll be coming my way
So I'll take this chance and celebrate the day
When I'm making my way through an open door
I've got some love and so much more
And I"m ready to make someone mine
Making my way through an open door
I've got some love and so much more
And I'll find him, 'cos it's about time
You try too hard and it feels just like
You're running on thin air
Why does luck happen by suprise
If you don't really care
The past is gone the flames are out
From fires that have burned
New ideals and different thoughts
From lessons I have learned
Got the feeling this could take a pretty long while
To find that smile
Put my faith in another piece of good advice
Well I tried that twice
Waiting for, a little something more
To inspire, take me higher
And I"m ready to make someone mine

Baby, Hollywood is dead.
Den senaste halvtimmen har jag varit fastnaglad vid den här videon. Bara älskar den! När låten kom ut för några veckor lyssnade jag på den konstant, och den nya videon är helt klockren till! Bra budskap också.
Som alltid är jag lika förälskad när det handlar om den där mannen.

Jag saknar det så jag får ont i magen, roligt nog, just när jag lyssnar på denna musik ;) Men det hörde bara till där i den stora Toyota Land Cruisern, på väg genom prärien i sydvästra Canada!

Do you want to know a secret?
Den senaste veckan har jag och min bror Jakob spelat The Beatles Rock Band varenda dag, och jag har verkligen fastnat för detta guldkorn, som jag inte hade hört förut. Så charmig låt.
Och inatt vid 4-tiden flyttar Jakob från Sverige till England, där hans fru Maja väntar sedan en vecka. (Hon åkte dit i förväg). Buhu... Men jag ska hälsa på, och eventuellt åka dit som au pair efter nyår. Så det är tur!

Fragile
I've been walking around all day,
Thinking.
I think I have a problem,
I think I think too much.
I've been taught to hold back my tears,
And avoid them.
But you make pain into something I could touch.
I've been walking around all day,
Laughing.
I think I'd be better off without you here.
And I bet you're sweet and hard to get over.
So I'll cry and people will stop and stare.
Now that's okay.
Let them stop and stare.
Cause I am fragile.
I am hopeless.
I'm not perfect.
But I am free.
I've been walking around all day,
Waiting.
And waiting is all I seem to do.
Cause I never get it unless I'm fed it.
But this time i'll just have to.
Yeah this time i'll just have to.
