Tindersticks - Dying Slowly
Nov 6th, 2007 by Rudi
Heute ist der 2. Todestag meines Vaters. Andere pilgern zu solchen Anlässen in die Kirche oder auf den Friedhof und zünden eine Kerze an. Ich lasse hier ein Lied erklingen und widme es dem Andenken meines Vaters:
Tindersticks - Dying Slowly
Ich liebe melancholische Musik. Neben Blues höre ich melancholische Lieder am liebsten, und das nicht erst seit dem Niedergang meiner Familie. Warum ich traurige Musik gern höre? Weil sie mitten aus dem Leben kommt und direkt in den Tod führt. The way of Life, dem keiner entkommen kann.
The Way of Life
Wir ordnen’s, es zerfällt.
Wir ordnen’s wieder - und zerfallen selbst.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Tindersticks - Tiny Tears
Neben Tindersticks enthält mein Melancholieschrein noch viele andere melancholische Kostbarkeiten: Townes van Zandt, Cowboy Junkies, Midnight Choir, Leonard Cohen, Mazzy Star, Lucinda Williams, Alison Krauss, Loreena McKennitt, Sarah McLachlan , Texas, Doug Ashdown, Daniel Lanois, Spencer Bohren, Luka Bloom, Lambchop, Richard Thompson, Richard Shindell, Jackie Leven, Tin Hat Trio, Tori Amos, K.D. Lang, Tanita Tikaram, Tom McRae, Ray LaMontagne, Isobel Campbell, Bonnie Prince Billy u.v.a.m. Ich werde sie Ihnen hier in Bluesdiary nach und nach vorstellen.
Tindersticks - Dying Slowly
I’ve got memories
I keep them away from me
They won’t behave
Won’t be what I want them to be
I’ve seen it all and it’s all done
I’ve been with everyone and no one
So many squandered moments
So much wasted time
So busy chasing dreams
I left myself behind
I’ve seen it all and it’s all done
I’ve been with everyone and no one
So this dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself
This dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself
These worms, darling
They’re nibbling away at me
They go at it when I’m sleeping
Won’t let me get to my feet
I’ve seen it all and it’s all done
I’ve been with everyone and no one
So this dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself
This dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting -
If I could find the words to explain this feeling
I would shout them out
If I could find out all this, what’s inside me
I would shout it out
So this dying slowly
It seemed better than shooting myself
This dying slowly
It seemed better than shouting it out
I make some coffee
Pull on that new pair of pants
I can get so far
The feeling just falls away
I’ve seen it all and it’s all done
I’ve been with everyone and no one
I’m just tired, baby
I just need to lay down
I’m just tired, darling
I just need to lay down
I’m just tired, baby
I just need to lay down
I’m just tired, darling
I just need to lay down
I’m just tired, darling
