B i o g r a p h y Gothenburg,
Sweden is a hotbed of diverse and escalating musical talent. From the mighty
Soundtrack of Our Lives to idiosyncratic songsmiths José González and Jens
Lekman, through to the unpredictable pop styles from the likes of Love is All
and Audrey, not to mention the infamous black metal scene, Gothenburg now boasts
the dynamic, organically soulful pop sounds of Little Dragon. |
*** Thanx a lot to Phil,
Guy, Marcellus and
Yukimi for sending
me these lyrics ***
Twice
Twice I turn my back on you
I fell flat on my face but didn't loose
Tell me where would I go
Tell me what led you on I’d love to know
Was it the blue night
Gone fragile
Was it both men
In wonder steady gone under
Was it the light ways
So frightening
Was it two wills
One mirror holding us dearer now
Thought I had an answer once
But your random ways swept me along
Colossal signs so I got lost
With so many lovers singing soft
Was it the blue night
Gone fragile
Was it both men
In wonder steady gone under
Was it the light ways
So frightening
Was it two wills
One mirror holding us dearer now
Turn Left
Once I thought I knew where I came from
Now fogging up a blur I can’t recall
How many times have I been here before
Could this be my birth town
Now as I am searching for a soul
Crossing country looking for a real job
Nothing seems to suit me no
Guess i’ll keep doing what I did before
Walking down the stairs
Anonymous detached
On the corner
I turn, I turn left
Looking out at the waves
I could stand here for ten more days
Crushing stones with my toes
That woman looking at me
Could she be my relative, oh
Would she be my best friend, oh
Wonder if she’s seen me here before
Walking down the stairs
Anonymous detached
On the corner
I turn, I turn left
No Love
No sympathy really here
All the sweetness is left somewhere
On some street miles from where we seem to be
No love, no love
No compassion really here
Even the reason why we met
Has vanished in the air
You keep talking as I sit and glare
Just cant understand how it disappeared no
No love in this room
No love left in here
No love in my soul left for you
No love left in here
No love in this room
No love in my soul left for you
So I sit and wait till it appears
Hopefully someday soon
Hopefully before next year
I just sit and I glare
It’s a mystery how it vanished
How it left me here
Oh my heart so bare
Nothing left to share
Oh where did it go
Withered away
Give me love that will stay
No love in this room
No love left in here
No love in my soul left for you
No love left in here
No love in this room
No love in my soul left for you
No love left in here
No love in this room
No love in my soul left for you
No love in this room
No love left in here
No love in my soul left for you

Constant Surprises
I was walking home
Looking at the trees
Got the feeling that they
Were looking back at me
Thoughts that occurred to me
Where not of the usual kind
And I don’t take it granted no
I don’t call them mine
I don’t call them mine
‘Cause in my life things
Are built on
Constant surprises
Coming my way
Some call it coincidence
But I like to call it fate
Constant surprises
Coming my way
Some call it coincidence
But I like to call it fate
The higher forces want to connect
Last night in my dream I was talking to you
You know who you are
Were you dreaming too
‘Cause in my life
Things are built on
Are built on
Constant surprises
Coming my way
Some call it coincidence
But I like to call it fate
Then on my way home I met this guy
He was not so shy
You know not that kind
We spoke then suddenly I could read his mind
You think it’s mad
But I don’t fool myself
You think its odd
‘Cause in my life
In my life things are built on
They built on
They built on
Constant surprises
Coming my way
Some call it coincidence
But I like to call it fate
Constant surprises
Coming my way
Some call it coincidence
But I like to call it fate…
Forever
From the start love was swaying bouncing orchestra playing loud
Oh so enlightening but it also felt frightening when
A lasso in high speed make a perfect knot around my knees
I’m falling into worm embrace while secretly in chains
‘Cause I wanna call it forever call
This thing forever forever
I wanna call it forever call
This thing forever forever
These promises deform my spiritual stability
Dedication so newborn burning flavours inside of me
Oh from a vision I recall your presence in a zoom
Now loving words are faint ‘cause I’m to tight in your embrace, oh oh
Want to call it forever call
This thing forever forever
I wanna call it forever call
This thing forever forever
Big tears splash my eyes I keep my female personalities
Romance blooming smells so nice out plays any harmonies
Oh I’m floating up stream and my knees are shaking
So as we sway orchestra play oh I hope we make it
Wanna call it forever
This thing forever forever
Oh I wanna call it forever call
This thing forever forever…

After the Rain
After the rain the temperature dropt
And covered in ice was my window top
I say goodbye I wave my hand
As a thousand doves fly
Across the blackened night
After the rain we forget
We make sure we gain then we leave it
‘Cause were a nation of forgetters
Oh after the rain we pretend
It’s easier to begin without looking back
‘Cause all at once air so thin
And there’s nothing left to breath in
After the rain we forget
After the rain we forget
Behind a dream so rosy and red a pile of things to forget
A voice of the past tiptoes in a cracking ghost whispering
After the rain we forget
We make sure we gain then we leave it
‘Cause were a nation of forgetters
After the rain we forget
After the rain we forget
People where have you been
Have you been hiding
In you big houses
People after the rain
Will your life
Will it ever be the same
Oh people what will you do
When you luck
When it turns on you
Wow people after the rain
Will your life
Will it ever be the same
After the rain we forget
After the rain we forget
After the rain we forget…
Place to Belong
I’m running late again the booth is dim and it is cold and me i’ll miss this
place
I’m in a sentimental state while running late trams forget to stop
And everything’s in boxes pact up stamp to go but who knows
So I’m running away running too late running to stay
Maybe i’ll stumble upon a magic wand a treasure a rocket a place to belong
A place to belong
Soon the street lights an orange glow the cab speeding
As I go so long a quick goodbye before I change my mind
So long a quick goodbye before I change my mind
So long goodbye, oh oh…
Stormy Weather
Imagining all the drama like a film
It runs in my mind all the hard times how it turns
Imagining you there thinking of your future
And of your past and new walls painted
Your eyes look low
And the ticking of the clocks too slow
Seasons stormy weather
When it ends
We will stay worm together
Seasons stormy weather
When it ends
We will stay worm together
No distance can separate
Imagine us combined light up the room electrify
Our love could be so divine
We’ll make rainbows at night
And when it’s dark we’ll be light
We’ll be light
Stormy weather
When it ends
We will stay worm together
Seasons stormy weather
When it ends
We will stay worm together
We will stay worm together
We will stay worm together
Test
A test, a test, a test, no rest
No rest, no rest
Just when you wanna exhale
Yoga down hill
He stands in the light kisses your ears
Just when you wanna relax
Wanna be alone
A crowd comes
Then a test, a test, a test, no rest
No rest, no rest
Just when you wanna give up
And everything’s flat
Emotions running back and forth
There’s no rest, no rest
Hurry to be on track
Don’t wanna walk back
Steady on the elevator lift to the top
Then a stop, a challenge
Confess confess
Up and down the hill
All around the carousel
A flowery smell
A dead end
A stop, a stop, a challenge
Confess, confess
The test, a test, a test no rest
No rest, no rest
Just when you think it’s the end
And everything’s black
Hiding in the dark there’s a sudden flash light
And your back
Back on the elevator lift to the top, another stop
Wink
Your head aches and you’ve had no rest
This days been one long test
Years pass too fast
Have to stop
Like an angel she appears
Created out of air
And all you troubles all your fears
Like blown away
‘Cause she winks at you
You feel your legs shake
You blow a kiss back
Then time stops until she turns her back
A swarm of heads turn around
And cross the street, oh
Waves of electricity
You feel the heat
You start walking fast
And blindly you’re like an ant in a stack
And years pass too fast
Yet in your dreams, you know
‘Cause she winks at you
You feel your legs shake
You blow a kiss back
Then time stops until she turns her back
Scribbled Paper
‘Cause I went looking for a trace of something that you left
And when I saw dried paint and your scribbled initials
I acted like I could care less while my thumb press to the paper
I wanted to find your portrait, wanted to have it
Recalling a piercing voice in old dreams
And ghostly images of black trains
Now seeing every page is turned away
I wanted to own your portrait
Wanted to have it
You and your scribbled paper makes me shiver so
You and your scribbled paper makes me shiver so…

*** Thanx a lot to Jelena for these lyrics ***
A new
Sworn to fast with all my might
The clay was soft the future bright
Old fashioned ways that won't erase
Out of control this building gate
Blinded like new
I’m feeling much stranger about you
Blinded like new
I’m feeling much stranger about you
Despite the shape
This twisted form
With open arms into the storm
Kept me kept and wanting more
I saw you peaking through the door
Blinded like new
I’m feeling much stranger about you
Blinded like new
I’m feeling much stranger about you
Looking
glass
Spilled our hearts our souls until it forced us to swim
But all the water pass
Was sinking fast
Gave our all until the saw was digging in
I watch it bleed
I let it be
Made me have to throw the looking glass
You, you
Made it cold and made my summer pass
You, you
The moon the dust the dreams the rust are shattered now
I let them pass
I let them dance
Stolen time the crooked line is pointing up
Were stars away
Blazing
Made me have to throw the looking glass
You, you
Made it cold and made my summer pass
You, you
Made me have to throw the looking glass
You, you
Made it cold and made my summer pass
You, you
My step
Holding a net my arms came tied in string
Enter a world special made for kings
Deep in my heart
A simple love
Now that I’m caught
The distance of
My step slide
Lightning fight
Tropical times
There was a thrill
But peace came settling in
Into a world special made for them
Deep in my heart a simple love
Now that I’m caught the distance of
My step slide
Lightning fight
Tropical times
My step slide
Lightning fight
Tropical times
Feather
Rather be a bandit than a lover
Rather be a man with the other
To run the mountain down, run it down
Rather be a whisper in heaven
Then a daughter locked in your prison
So run the mountain down run it down
You are airborne
You've got silver rays
Will it ever float will it ever soar along
You are airborne
You've got silver rays
Will it ever float will it ever soar along
Grip the crown like winner
Pretending like a beginner
So run the mountain down, run it down
You are airborne
You got silver rays
Will it ever float will it ever soar along
You are airborne
You got silver rays
Will it ever float will it ever soar along
All for the feather
Did it all for your feathered hand
Will it ever float will it ever soar along
All for the feather
Did it all for your feathered hand
Will it ever float will it ever soar along
Thunder
love
Then dawn came and I stayed and was laughing with you
The smoke love but I dove and was kissing with you
My past erase as we lay in a daze
Please say nothing of yesterdays
I’m gonna sleep
I’m gonna sleep under the stars until the end
Till your touch say time will it begin
I’m gonna love until the bitter end
Working days get in my way
As I’m thinking of you
Smoke love
Keep dreaming of when I was kissing with you
Please say nothing of yesterdays
My past erase as we lay in a daze
I’m gonna sleep
I’m gonna sleep under the stars until the end
Till your touch say time will it begin
I’m gonna love until the bitter end
I’m gonna sleep
I’m gonna sleep under the stars until the end
Till your touch say time will it begin
I’m gonna love until the bitter end
Never
never
I could never have what you have
I could never have what you have
Something got me so tied
Frozen inside
Heart was pounding cause I knew that
I could never have what you have
I could never have what you have
I'll be the thief boy
Whisper to me please
I could never have what you have
I could never have what you have
Days been going so fast trying to keep up now
Tell me why you flying
I could never have what you have
I'll be the thief boy
Whisper to me now
I could never have what you have
I could never have what you have
Runabout
Rushing out the door at midnight
I found myself breathing fire
There is just one way to cure my heart from you
‘Cause I can’t let go
I’m still loving you so
Go run about the streets like it’s a race
Go run about
Run about
With the perfect plan you play with what you can and run about
You think you've got it all set up now
This fever caught me in a rush
There's just one way to cure my heart from you
Because I can let go
I'm still loving you so
Go run about the streets like it’s a race
Go run about
Run about
With a perfect plan you play with what you can
Run about
Go run about the streets like it’s a race
Go run about
Run about
With a perfect plan you play with what you can
Go run about the streets like it’s a race
Go run about
Run about
With a perfect plan you play with what you can
Run about
Run about
Go run about the streets like it’s a race
Go run about
Run about
With a perfect plan you play with what you can
Swimming
Used to know a boy
He was so shy
Never knew his thoughts
He never knew mine
My troubles disappeared
Whenever he came close
Was walking on air
My feelings exposed
Oh, oh, my life would be a different game
Oh, oh, lucky never we became
Oh, oh, and now so many years have past
Oh, oh, my memories as clear as glass
I used to be the girl
Who never had a plan
Was only daydreaming
Of only one man
Smoking in my room
Crying over you
Walking on air
Into the blue
Oh, oh, my life would be a different game
Oh, oh, lucky never we became
Oh, oh, and now so many years have past
Oh, oh, my memories as clear as glass
Blinking
pigs
Phantom legs
And blinking pigs
Haunting me
My long lost love
And the memories of
You
These nights are haunting
I don’t wanna run, I don't wanna leave
Now that you’re standing closer
I don't wanna to run, don't wanna leave
Was a distant moan
And a smell of home
Haunting me
From the clouds above
Oh the memory of
You
Thou these nights are haunting me
I don’t wanna run, I don't wanna leave
Now that you’re standing closer
I don't wanna to run, don't wanna leave
Thou these nights are haunting me
I don’t wanna run, I don't wanna leave
Now that you’re standing closer
I don't wanna to run, don't wanna leave
Come home
Darling it’s about time to break free of
Hands and claws holding down the love
Take us to a safer place where we can break out of the daze
So weaved together say it’s forever
Come home soon
Shifting moods
Mysteries drive us all
Your poisonous loves our fall
Caught a ghost smile slipping out the door fast
There is no guarantee he said and the laughed
Never mind the history it slowly walks away you will see
So weaved together say it’s forever
Come home soon
Shifting moods
Mysteries drive us all
Your poisonous loves our fall
Fortune
Mountain of pearls to sooth the soul
Gold and silver and silk to cover the old
Clocks and rubies crushing these hard bones
I’m going blind from to many shiny stones
Fortune cast a curse
I knew it would
Fortune bury you
I knew it would
Sleep on ugly dreaming wave
Vivid life turn into grey
No friends want to stay around
So moving on to a different part of town
Fortune cast a curse
I knew it would
Fortune bury you
I knew it would

Ritual Union
Ritual union has got me in trouble again
I was wondering of a white dress
And a mistress
And her spirit holding my hand
Love sinking in the sand
Petals falling on demand
My feet are running like the wind
I’m sorry, boy that we sinned
Love is not like they say
I lied, it’s hard to make it stay
I drown my feelings in the sea
Then dried out over on the beach
Ritual union has got me in trouble again
I was wondering of a white dress
And a mistress
And her spirit holding my hand
Mother, tell me how it is
I know you’ve been through all of this
You ran away so many times
Your kids, your heart, a couple of dimes
Love is not like they say
I lied, it’s hard to make it stay
I drown my feelings in the sea
I dried up over on the beach
Ritual union got me in trouble again
I was wondering of a white dress
And a mistress
And her spirit holding my hand
Ritual union got me in trouble again
I was wondering of a white dress
And a mistress
And her spirit holding my hand
Little Man
You grew high, taller than the middle class
Boy, cash run in your pockets
You skate high, gold on your fingertips
They try to make people nervous of
Something missing in your smile
Something missing in your soul
Are you suffering the blues
Tell me why, tell my when, tell me why, when, yeah
Green dollar bills slip your hand, Little Man
Anything you want come instantly
Boy, when a plan slip your hand, Little Man
Everything you want come instantly
Castle, house, cars and the latest blues
No doubt got you feeling empty
Man your banks packed to the edge and still you're sad
Something missing in your smile
Something missing in your soul
Are you suffering the blues
Tell me why, when, why, when
Green dollar bills slip your hand, Little Man
Anything you want come instantly
Boy, when a plan slip your hand, Little Man
Everything you want come instantly
Brush The Heat
In a stare
So in-between
I'm feeling bold
I'm in a dream
I have no mask
I have no guard
It's just the flesh there bare under the stars
And when the words
Get in the way
The ones that hurt
The ones that she said
So I give in to live the beat
I'm giving into the rhythm of my feet
Brush the heat, brush it
Brush the heat, brush it
Brush the heat, brush it
Brush the heat, brush it
Traffic slow
Lights in a haze
And all the smog
I'm in a daze
So I move down
Away from here
And if you smile then maybe I could feel
And all the words
Get in the way
The ones that hurt
The ones that she says
So I give in to live the beat
I'm giving into the rhythm of my feet
Brush the heat, brush it
Brush the heat, brush it
Brush the heat, brush it
Brush the heat, brush it
Brush it, brush it, brush it
Brush it, brush it, brush it
Brush it, brush it, brush it
Shuffle A Dream
You cruise around in a deluxe water craft
And play it big in designer shades, acting high class
And the girls that you know all admire that
They want your kids in a row
They’ll be lining up fast
To your door
So make a move
Castle in the sky
Pick and choose
If you want him
Would you share
'Cause that's the deal, girl
Trickling coins, making the noise
Follow it blind, follow the signs
Why would you want, someone so vain
Stealing your soul, making it rain
You act supreme as your fortune lit the sky
But it’s a shell with a crack and you’re just a plain guy
Play it big 'cause our world made it easy to
I see those shimmering rocks moving closer to you
To your door
So make a move
Castle in the sky
Pick and choose
If you want him girl
Could you share
'Cause that’s the deal now
If you dare, so
Trickling coins, making the noise
Follow it blind, follow the signs
Why would you want, someone so vain
Stealing your soul, making it rain
Trickling coins, making the noise
Follow it blind, follow the signs
Why would you want, someone so vain
Stealing your soul, making it rain
Trickling coins, making the noise
Follow it blind, follow the signs
Please Turn
With your clover, you're picking cherries
Taking pills, and running with the steam
Love’s so make believe
Swinging branches by your mansion
And by the Pool she's posing leopard skin
Got you dancing in
Please, pull the string now
Turn the winds all round and round
Oh, these diamonds don’t lift up
Oh, the color shift and cut
Staring down at the wondering faces
Who want your place
But on the papers you can shine and fly
Smiling in their eyes
Over land and over space
You take me to that unreal place
That I had never known
So don’t you cry
Please, pull the string now
Turn the winds all round and round
Oh, the diamonds don’t lift up
Oh, the color shift and cut
Please turn, oh
Please turn, oh, oh
Crystalfilm
Lost my grip and my vision gone dull
I swing my hip like a dancer gone numb
I saw your shadow, saw the skeleton run
Now something’s missing from my memory of you
You shake my world from my ground to my head
Distant noise that wake me out of bed
I listen as the walls cave in
I’m hanging on 'cause your memories spin on
I lost my grip, I balanced it on a piece of paper
True in one trip, it’s weaving in
And I wait for later
Who is leaning in on my yes to be
Who is sneaking in, is sneaking in on me, on me
I cut a house in half and turn a frown
Distant painted walls and letters upside down
I try to hold on, I try to hold on but you're gone
Then I try to let go but your memory’s still on
I lost my grip, I balanced it on a piece of paper
True in one trip, it’s weaving in
And I wait for later
Who is leaning in on my yes to be
Who is sneaking in, is sneaking in on me, on me
On me, on my...
Precious
Precious, you know I can't stay
I asked, you never told me
So soon, I take myself back again, again, again
I'm bitter sweet
You know that I can’t pretend
Precious, I cannot hold back
I asked, and you put me off track
So soon, I dream myself back again, again, again
I’m bitter sweet
You know that I can’t pretend
Precious, you know I can't stay
I asked, you never told me
NightLight
Open the door, there you’re standing in a row
Dancing in a twisted blue form of light, turning over
Making a sound, then you're braiding it around
Turning in a twisted blue form of light, moving your shoulders
One, two, you move, your feet, your shoes
Flying like an arrow in the room
Be my angel, love
Tell me everything I need from above
Be my heroin, tell them please what we need to never be sin
Be forever sun
Never, never, ever stop everyone
Be my shining light
Lady, I believe you transform the night
Open the door, there you’re standing in a row
Dancing in a twisted blue form of light, turning over
Making a sound, then you're braiding it around
Turning in a twisted blue form of light, moving your shoulders
One, two, you move, your feet, your shoes
Flying like an arrow in the room
Be my angel, love
Tell me everything I need from above
Be my heroin, tell them please what we need to never be sin
Be forever sun
Never, never, ever stop everyone
Be my shining light
Lady, I believe you tranform the night
You open my mind, got me floating out of time
Dancing in a twisted blue form of light
Drifting a sound, got me turning it around
Moving in a twisted blue form of life, moving your shoulders
One, two, you move, your feet, your shoes
Flying like an arrow in the room
Summertearz
The coldest wind hit me so hard
I raise my fist, I slip apart
Nothing compares, nothing at all
Just like my tears, I let them fall
It’s in my blood, this dizzy vein
It never cared of all my pain
So lead me on, into your web
It’s just a ride that's in my head
Kind of driven and kind of triggered on
I watch the woods, trying to find those inner gods
Hold it back to try to hold it in
Just like the devil that stayed ready to win
No competition, still I’m acting on a race
Watching angels dancing in the slow of ways
Got to let it go, but I can’t
Got to let it go, but I
When I Go Out
When I go out
I let my armour fall
And when they shout
I walk through the door
The sea’s blooming
I need to be gone
Through the tunnel
Kids are grown
Hair's not long
Who took the heat
Took the light
From me and my shadow
Seconds
Ten times more than the sweetest sound
Wouldn’t want to change if it brings me down
Every seven years it's on expire
Driven by a fear and a sweep of fire
Higher than the heavens
So tempted by your hands and letting go
Every now and then to fall behind
Leaning on a stranger, turning time
'Cause all I want, a second or two
And all we got are seconds to lose
And all I am is tempted by you
Because all I want, a second or two
And all we got are seconds to lose
And all I am is tempted by you
Ten times more than the sweetest sound
I wouldn’t change if it brings you down
And every seven years it's on expire
Driven by a fear and a sweep of fire
'Cause all I want, a second or two
And all we got are seconds to lose
And all I am is tempted by you
Because all I want, a second or two
And all we got are seconds to lose
And all I am is tempted by you

Scale It Back
( With DJ Shadow )
I swear I saw blue light
My feet followed it outside
And I thought I heard someone say
Fly far away
And when you reach up the sky is there
This clueless weather know
We swing the waves, and let it go
Until I heard someone say
Over the rise and beyond
Oh, where you’re reach and knocked over stars
Like light I came from pocket finesse
Every moment I see with eye closed
Take me to places where we can start
Like light I came from pocket finesse, every
Nothing can steal this treasure from us, babe
I’m still in luck– now
Fighting the sounds
Take chances and come closer to me babe
I’m fallin’ out – now
Wildfire
( SBTRKT Feat. Yukimi )
I could bet all of the riches that I ever had
Rushing the night like a shockwave wouldn’t be bad
If I had to second heart, cause of the thrills that run up my back
You’re my star, nothing else can lead me off track
Like a wildfire, you’ve got me rising high
Your innocence, who’s brave
Drowning in, would you save me
It’s a crime if you don’t
You’ll expire by the throat
I could bet all of the riches that I ever had
Rushing the night like a shockwave wouldn’t be bad
Like a wildfire, you’ve got me rising high
Your innocence, who’s brave
Drowning in, would you save me
It’s a crime if you don’t
You’ll expire by the throat
Your innocence, who’s brave
Drowning in, would you save me
It’s a crime if you don’t
You’ll expire by the throat
