How I love the Christmas feeling. This year the moment arrived when I was attending a superb Christmas concert at Parkteatret Friday night with a bunch of my friends, leaning from side to side singing “War is over – if you want it – war is over – NOOOOOOOOW”. My favorite Norwegian indie band, My Little Pony, was the band backing the audience choir. In addition to playing some of the good old classic Christmas songs, they played their weird, cute song about someone close to you being dead with these fantastic lyrics:
Now you’re dead
and there’s nothing I can do about it
nothing I can say to bring you back.
Cause you’re dead
and I will never see you again
and I don’t know what this means
but it scares me so.
(…)
I wish that I could have some kind of religion,
but no matter how much you want you can never get stupid again.
From the song I don’t know – Part 1
My sister and I both bought their album, Think Too Much last year, and in the car on our way to Bergen, we played it on high volume. Then this upbeat tune about death came along – which was sort of bad timing considering that we were driving to Bergen to attend our grandmother’s funeral… However, the sincere, straightforward lyrics of the song just made us laugh. Check out this album – there’s a lot of songs to get you in a good mood!
