Niin muuten, nämä suomenkieliset surumieliset lyriikat on paljon murheellisempia/synkempiä kuin englanninkieliset. Kaikissa englanninkielisissä on minusta vähän semmonen pilipalimeininki taustalla.
 
Ainakin jos englannin kieliset lyriikat on kirjoittanut suomalainen. Muttei aina.

Mä silmäilin tämän ketjun (pikaisesti) läpi, mutta silmään ei osunut yhtäkään mainintaa Shangri-La'sista. Heidän tuotannossaan oli melodraamaa!

Morrissey?

Morrissey?
 
Okei, yleistin. Ei kaikissa. Mutta joskus.

Viikatteen Korutonta oli ainakin aikoinaan oma suosikki näistä Suomisynkistelyistä:
 
Vielä ne huudot korvissa kaikuu
Vaik' viikkoja muutama ohi on vierinyt
Kysymysmerkitkin suoriksi taipuu
Kun selvinkään asia mitään ei merkinnyt
 
Päälle lipaston vanha vekkari
Jätetty ol' käymään mennyttä aikaa
 
Oli toiveita täysiä valmis hän
Hän uhkui voimia, voimia elämän
Mut jälkikäteen aatellen
Kovin kirkkaita olivat välit rivien
 
Yhä tallille johtaa saman jäljet
Sisältä päin oven salvanneet
 
Vielä tulee aika itseään sietää
Vaan jokin kumma kaulusta hiertää
Se korutont' on kertomaa
 
Puhtaita vaatteita, lakanoita
Ripustettu oli narulle kuivumaan
Kaukalot täynnä nyt akanoita
Kun viimeiset leivät kurkkuun käy juuttumaan
 
Tallin nurkassa saunajakkara
Kumollaan...
 
Vielä tulee aika itseään sietää
Vaan jokin kumma kaulusta hiertää
Se korutont' on kertomaa

Jep, kyllä se Kaarle on suomalaisista kovin tekijä tällä saralla.

Tosiaan nuo Morrisseyn sanoitukset ovat suosikkejani, ehdottomasti. Laitetaan esimerkki. Näissä on tosin jotain joka tuo näihin syvempää merkitystä kun jonkin aikaa sitten minulle tapahtui niinkuin tapahtui.
 
Never Had No One Ever:
 
When you walk without ease
On these
Streets were you were raised
I had a really bad dream
It lasted 20 years, 7 months, and 27 days
I never, I’m alone, and i
Never, ever oh ... had no one ever
 
Now I’m outside your house
I’m alone
And I’m outside your house
I hate to intrude ...
Oh, alone, I’m alone, I’m alone, I’m alone
I’m alone
I’m alone
And I never, never ... oh ... had no one ever
I never had no one ever
I never had no, no one ever
Had no one never
Never ... no ...
Oh ...

Muutama biisi on kyllä herkistänyt mielen. Rautiaiselta ainakin Lintu, Häpeän lävistämä, Pitkä odotus ja Kehtolaulu. Sentencediltä No one there. Laitan nyt kuitenkin metallican sanoja:
 
Metallica - Low man`s lyric
 
My eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins
There's a dog at your back step
He must come in from the rain
I fall cause I let go
The net below has rot away
So my eyes seek reality
And my fingers seek my veins
 
The trash fire is warm
But nowhere safe from the storm
And I can't bear to see
What I've let me be
So wicked and worn
 
So as I write to you
Of what is done and to do
Maybe you'll understand
And won't cry for this man
cause low man is due
Please forgive me
 
My eyes seek reality
My fingers feel for faith
Touch clean with a dirty hand
I touch the clean to the waste
 
The trash fire is warm
But nowhere safe from the storm
I can't bear to see
What I've let me be
So wicked and worn
 
So as I write to you
Of what is done and to do
Maybe you'll understand
And won't cry for this man
Cause low man is due
Please forgive me
 
So low the sky is all I see
All I want from you is forgive me
So you bring this poor dog in from the rain
Though he just wants right back out again
 
And I cry, to the alleyway
Confess all to the rain
But I lie, lie straight to the mirror
The one I've broken, to match my face
 
The trash fire is warm
But nowhere safe from the storm
And I can't bear to see
What I've let me be
So wicked and worn
 
So as I write to you
Of what is done and to do
Maybe you'll understand
And won't cry for this man
Cause low man is due
Please forgive me
 
So low the sky is all I see
All I want from you is forgive me
So you bring this poor dog in from the rain
Though he just wants right back out again
 
My eyes seek reality
My fingers seek my veins

ehdottomasti Frederikin Niin raukea rakkaani katseesi on. se täytyy itse kuunnella! ei olekhan mitään hömppä iskelmää se. toinen mikä tulee mieleen on Crash test dummiesin Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm... :)

Anssi Kela: Puistossa
Hoho.

Waiting Around To Die
Townes Van Zandt
 
Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me
Sometimes I can't even see the reason why
I guess I keep on gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
 
One-time friends I had a ma, I even had a pa
He beat her with a belt once cause she cried
She told him to take care of me, she headed down to Tennessee
It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
 
I came of age and found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
She cleaned me out and hit it on the sly
I tried to kill the pain, I bought some wine and hopped a train
Seemed easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die
 
A friend said he knew where some easy money was
We robbed a man and brother did we fly
The posse caught up with me, drug me back to Muskogee
It's two long years, just a-waitin' 'round to die
 
Now I'm out of prison, I got me a friend at last
He don't steal or cheat or drink or lie
His name's codeine, he's the nicest thing I've seen
Together we're gonna wait around and die

hendrix -castles made of sand, en jaksa sanoja kopioida tähän.

Tom Waits - Reeperbahn
ja tuhat muuta Waitsin kappaletta
 
Around the curve of The Parrot Bar
A broken-down old movie star
Hustling and Easterner
Bringing out the beast in her
A high dive on a swimming pool
Filled with needles and with fools
The memories are short but the tales are long
When you're in the Reeperbahn
 
Oh, they called her Rosie when she was a girl
For her bright red cheeks and her strawberry curls
When she would laugh the river would run
She said she'd be a comedian
Oh what a pity, oh what a shame
When she said, ‘come calling’, nobody came
Now her bright red cheeks are painted on
And she's laughing her head off in the Reeperbahn
 
Now little Hans was always strange
Wearing womens underthings
His father beat him but he wouldn't change
He ran off with a man one day
Now his lingerie is all the rage
In the black on every page
His father proudly calls his name
Down there in the Reeperbahn
 
Now if you've lost your inheritance
And all you've left is common sense
And you're not too picky about the crowd you keep
Or the mattress where you sleep
Behind every window, behind every door
The apple has gone but there's always the core
And the seeds will sprout up right through the floor
Down there in the Reeperbahn

Nämä tuli mieleen näin äkkisältään:
 
Kamelot - Glory
Evergrey - Waking Up Blind
Evergrey - Words Mean Nothing

Mulle on aina iskenyt tuo Dream Theaterin itsemurhaa käsittelevä biisi Hollow Years:
 
He's just the kind of man
You hear about
Who leaves his family for
An easy out
They never saw the signs
He never said a word
He couldn't take another day
 
Carry me to the shoreline
Bury me in the sand
Walk me across the water
And maybe you'll understand
 
Once the stone
You're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years
 
She's not the kind of girl
You hear about
She'll never want another
She'll never be without
She'll give you all the signs
She'll tell you everything
Then turn around and walk away

Maarit - Neito ja Ylioppilas
 
en muista sanoja

No tää on ennemminki :') kuin :'(
 
Hey Mona Lisa, who was Leonardo?
Was he Andy Warhol?
Were you Marilyn Monroe
Hey Mozart, what kind of name is Amadeus
 
It's kinda like Elvis
You gotta die to be famous
I may not go down in history
I just want someone to remember me
 
I'll probably never hold a brush
that paints a masterpeice
Probably never find a pen
that writes a symphony
But if I will love then I will find
That I have touched another life
And that's something
Something worth leaving behind
 
Hey Midas you say you have the magic touch
But even all that shiny stuff
Someday is gonna turn to dust
Hey Jesus it must have been some Sunday morning
In a blaze of glory
We're still tellin' your story
I may not go down in history
I just want someone to remember me
 
I'll probably never dream a dream
and watch it turn to gold
I know I'll never lose my life
to save another soul
But, if I will love then I will find
That I have touched another life
And that's something
Something worth leaving behind
 
Hey baby see the future that we're building
Our love lives on in the lives of our children
And that's something
Something worth leaving behind
 
Kantria. :) Kuulin tämän yöllä ratiosta ja iski minuun nii paljon että piti ostaa levy. (Tosin 3 vuotta myöhemmin, mutta kuitennii...)

En muista mikä oli biisin tarinan syntytarina mut kyllähän topikkiin sopii.
Evergrey - For Every Tear That Falls
 
Stranded on a shore of no light
The waves brings me sorrow
and with a vision of past in my mind
All I crave is to see you back in life
 
I call your name
But you wont hear me
I seek your eyes but they wont see
And when I reach for your hands
I realise I can't feel them no more
 
I see your eyes
I feel your pain
 
Sailing waters I am drifting inside
The wind brings me sadness
And with a vision of pain in my mind
All I wanted was not to see you die
 
I call you name
But you wont hear me
I seek your eyes but they wont see
And when I'm burning inside
I hope you're there
 
Cant you see my tears
I see your crying
And I have tried to forget
You'll always be in my mind
 
I stare the eyes of a man alone
A man I used to care for
A man I used to know
For every tear that falls
A wound grows bigger
Into my already bleeding soul
 
If I had only been there
Oh god I wish I could have saved you
 
I still remember the times we shared
I've tried to keep inside the grief I suffer
I can't believe that I been swept away
Like I never existed
As a part of your life
 
I'm still stranded on the shore of no light
And the same wave still brings me sorrow
And I'm drifting yes drifting inside
And my wound grows bigger
For every tear that falls
For every tear that falls

Too Much Love Will Kill You .. Freddie Mercuryn laulaman levyllä "Made in Heaven".
Ottakaa huomioon että mies oli kuolemaisillaan ja Vodkan voimin taisteli kipuja vastaan, nauhoittaessa kappaleita.
 
I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears are raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone
For much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find
Where I went wrong
Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between the lover
And the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster
'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you
Every time
 
I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems like there's no way out of this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's no making sense of it
Every way I go I'm bound to lose
