Floden · Bo Kaspers Orkester

(via Floden - YouTube) Det renner ei elv, en duvande flod gjennom livet mittEg fylles av mildhet og fred når eg vasse i sivet dittOg kver gang eg våge å bada i deg blir eg heil og reinOg eg kjenne eit lindrande gys gå gjennom marg og bein

Eg lure nå på koffor bade e'kje meir i detKoffor, koffor når eg kjenne det goa du gjør med megDet kan nesten virka som om eg prøve å unngå detOg eg føle meg redd for nåden og glea du skjenke megForunderleg, forunderleg Det finnes en brønn, ei kjelda te liv i min egen plassKjærleik e navnet å blikket blir klart ved det minste glasså kver gang eg våge å drikka av det blir eg heil og reinOg eg kjenne eit lindrade gys gå gjennom marg og bein

Eg lure nå på koffor drikk eg ikkje meir av detKoffor, koffor når eg kjenne det goa du gjør med megDet kan nesten virke som om eg prøve å unngå detOg eg føle meg redd for nåden og glea du skjenke megForunderleg, forunderleg Eg vil trossa den motstand eg har mot å ta imot det som e godtDet ikkje lurt å gå rundt å sjå etter det som eg alt har fått

Eg lure nå på koffor bade e'kje meir i detKoffor, koffor når eg kjenne det goa du gjør med megDet kan nesten virka som om eg prøve å unngå detOg eg føle meg redd for nåden og glea du skjenke megForunderleg, forunderleg The river It runs a river, a flow through my life I'm filled with softness and peace when I wade through your reeds And every time I dare to go for a swim in you I become whole and pure and I feel a healing go through my marrow and bones Now I'm wondering why I don't swim more in it Why, why when I know how good you are for me It can almost seem like I try to avoid it and I'm afraid of the mercy and joy you bring me Strange, strange

 There is a well, a source of life in my own place Love is its name and the gaze becomes clear from the smallest drink and every time I dare to drink of it I become whole and pure And I feel a healing go through my marrow and bones Now I'm wondering why I don't drink more of it Why, why when I know how good you are for me It can almost seem like I try to avoid it and I'm afraid of the mercy and joy you bring me Strange, strange

 I want to defy the resistance I have towards receiving what's good It's not wise to walk around looking for what I've already been given Now I'm wondering why I don't swim more in it Why, why when I know how good you are for me It can almost seem like I try to avoid it and I'm afraid of the mercy and joy you bring me Strange, strange

Don't Go To Strangers J.J. Cale

If I'm standing in a crowd, call my name, call it loud Don't go to strangers, woman, call on me Wave your arm in the air, let me know that you're there When in doubt, oh woman, call on me, hmDon't leave me here to rust, don't let me turn to dust Oh, woman, when in doubt, call on me If I'm standing in a crowd, call my name, call it loud Don't go to strangers, woman, call on me

Alice Phoebe Lou - She (Live)

She, she She, she She cut a hole in the fence and she ran She left her troublesome prison behind She didn't wanna fuel the fire She didn't wanna lose her desire She, she She, she She looked out to the horizon She didn't have much left to see Greed had taken the trees away Greed had taken the bees awayShe, she She, she She don't know where she gonna go now She looked up to what should've been stars She said I wanna go to Mars And this, this planet, it ain't oursShe said I, wanna go to Mars And this, this planet, it ain't ours She said I wanna go to Mars And this, this planet, it ain't ours Ours

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Into My Arms

I don't believe in an interventionist God But I know, darling, that you do But if I did, I would kneel down and ask Him Not to intervene when it came to you Oh, not to touch a hair on your head Leave you as you are If he felt he had to direct you Then direct you into my arms Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms And I don't believe in the existence of angels But looking at you I wonder if that's true But if I did I would summon them together And ask them to watch over you Both to each burn a candle for you To make bright and clear your path And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love And guide you into my arms Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms But I believe in Love And I know that you do, too And I believe in some kind of path That we can walk down, me and you So keep your candles burning Make her journey bright and pure That she'll keep returning Always and evermore Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms, oh Lord Into my arms

Freddie Wadling - Walk

A man wakes up one morning on the beach He cannot know his name And so he repeats these words All over and over again Love, peace, happiness, eternity All these walks with me And so he remembers very well, what he's meant to be All of these moments may be lost, if he cannot see Love, peace, happiness, eternity All these walks with me Talk about love, peace, happiness, eternity All these walks with me Love, peace, happiness, eternity All these walks with me Talk about love, peace, happiness, eternity All these walks with you

Wolf Larsen "If I Be Wrong"

What if I’m wrong, what if I’ve lied What if I’ve dragged you here to my own dark night And what if I know, what if I see There is a crack run right down the front of me What if they’re right, what if we’re wrong What if I’ve lured you here with a siren song? But if I be wrong, if I be right Let me be here with you tonight Ten thousand cars, ten thousand trains There are ten thousand roads to run away But I am not lost, I am not found I am not Dylan’s wife, not Cohen’s hound But if I be wrong, if I be right Let me be here with you tonight And what if I can’t, what if I can What if I’m just an ordinary man If there is a will, there is a way I will escape for sure, I am David Blane But if I be wrong, if I be right Let me be here with you If I be wrong, if I be right Let me stay here in your arms tonight And I have been wrong, I have been right I have been both these things all in the same night So if I be wrong, if I be right Let me here, with you, tonight.

Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes

Love I get so lost, sometimes Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart When I want to run away I drive off in my car But whichever way I go I come back to the place you are All my instincts, they return And the grand facade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside In your eyes The light the heat In your eyes I am complete In your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches In your eyes The resolution of all the fruitless searches In your eyes I see the light and the heat In your eyes Oh, I want to be that complete I want to touch the light The heat I see in your eyes Love, I don't like to see so much pain So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away I get so tired of working so hard for our survival I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive And all my instincts, they return And the grand facade, so soon will burn Without a noise, without my pride I reach out from the inside In your eyes The light the heat In your eyes I am complete In your eyes I see the doorway to a thousand churches In your eyes The resolution of all the fruitless searches In your eyes I see the light and the heat In your eyes Oh, I want to be that complete I want to touch the light, The heat I see in your eyes In your eyes, in your eyes In your eyes, in your eyes In your eyes, in your eyes

U2 - With Or Without You

See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I'll wait for you Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails, she makes me wait And I wait without you With or without you With or without you Through the storm, we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And I'm waiting for you With or without you With or without you, ah, ah I can't live With or without you And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away My hands are tied My body bruised, she got me with Nothing to win and Nothing left to lose And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away With or without you With or without you, oh I can't live With or without you Oh, oh Oh, oh With or without you With or without you, oh I can't live With or without you With or without you

I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk David Bowie - Five Years (Old Grey Whistle Test, 1972)

Pushing through the market square So many mothers sighing (sighing) News had just come over We had five years left to cry in (cry in) News guy wept and told us Earth was really dying (dying) Cried so much his face was wet Then I knew he was not lying (lying) I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV's My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare I had to cram so many things to store everything in there And all the fat, skinny people And all the tall, short people And all the nobody people And all the somebody people I never thought I'd need so many people A girl my age went off her head Hit some tiny children If the Black hadn't have pulled her off I think she would have killed them A soldier with a broken arm Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest And a queer threw up at the sight of that I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor Drinking milk shakes cold and long Smiling and waving and looking so fine Don't think you knew you were in this song And it was cold and it rained, so I felt like an actor And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there Your face, your race, the way that you talk I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk We've got five years, stuck on my eyes Five years, what a surprise We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got We've got five years, what a surprise Five years, stuck on my eyes We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got We've got five years, stuck on my eyes Five years, what a surprise We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got We've got five years, what a surprise We've got five years, stuck on my eyes We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot Five years, that's all we've got Five years Five years Five years Five years
