Do you speak poetry?: jag återskapar min 13 best of 2013-lista

Vilken tur jag har som känner datafinurliga människor. Fick just ett mail med blogginlägget jag råkat radera, så här kommer det igen!

Tretton låtar från artister jag lyssnat mycket på under 2013. Några av dem har inte släppt nytt då, men jag låter dem vara med ändå. för att låtarna säger något om mig, om mitt år. Vi börjar baklänges. Under varje låt har jag skrivit ett favoritcitat från låten. Ja, för jag lyssnar ju med poethjärtat också.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - We real cool

Who took your measurements?
From your toes to the top of your head
Yeah, you know who
Who bought you clothes and new shoes
And wrote you a book you never read
Yeah, you know who

Mazzy Star - Seasons of your day

Won't you let me come inside?
I've released all of my pride.
I know you are alone because I've been there.

Anna Calvi - Tristan

You’re the one with the armour harm and let it go
Oh I dare you, I dare you now to trust in me
Copy paste is a sin, always on the run is better
Now if you’re going to do it, do it now
God help you Tristan

Lower Dens - Brains

Starting the day
Staying awake
Everything will change
While you're asleep
While you're breathing
Do you believe
Kate Bush - The song of Solomon

Don't want your bullshit
Just want your sexuality
Don't want excuses, yeah
Write me your poetry in motion
Sign it with a kiss

Lightning Dust - Fire me up

taking back a love like this cause it didn't seem my style
holding out for something dark and wild
now i've been waiting to be loved like this
and i'm counting on your smile for the long deserving mile
Metal Mother - Omens

An Samhradh, an Fhomhair,
An Geimhreadh, an tEarrach
Cuimhnigh i gconai
Damhsa Cailleach

(nej, jag har ingen aning om vad det betyder, det bara låter snyggt)

Daughter - Youth

And if you're still breathing, you're the lucky ones.
'Cause most of us are heaving through corrupted lungs.
Setting fire to our insides for fun
Collecting names of the lovers that went wrong

Mariam the Believer - The string of everything

Don't we want to learn something more?
Reach somewhere new and die someone else?

Ane Brun - The puzzle

Her remains were spread out like the pieces of a puzzle
It took her three hundred and sixty five days putting them together
The pieces were quite difficult to distinguish from each other
They were tiny and the clear blue sky went on forever

The National - I need my girl

Remember when you lost your shit and
Drove the car into the garden
And you got out and said I’m sorry
To the vines and no one saw it
Girls Names - A second skin

I wrote you on my epitaph
My sin was love inamorata
Sometimes we need these things
To bring us back to life again
You'll find your perfect place
But can I lose myself again?

PJ Harvey - The dancer

He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me

Yup, detta är vad jag hoppas på, liksom

Bonuslåtar (covers) som dessutom har någonting gemensamt:

Ane Brun - The Dancer
Daughter - Get lucky

Och som ytterligare bonus, eftersom jag upptäckte artisten via min vän Karins best of 2013-lista:

King Krule - Easy Easy

Och nej, jag trodde inte den mörka rösten kunde komma ur den där lilla pojken heller. Pretty cool.

Extra extra bonus: musikåret i bilder.
