12345 (Låt, 2005)

Skulle jag räkna upp de tre saker som betyder mest för mig just i detta ögonblick skulle nog listan se ut så här.

1) Familjen
2) Vännerna
3) Låten 12345 med the Diskettes

Tänkte uppehålla mig vid 12345 en kort stund. Vartannat/ vart tredje år dyker den upp: den perfekta poplåten. 12345 gavs ut 2005. Snubblade över den på myspace för ett par månader sen. Lyssnar på den mer och mer. Kan inte få den ur huvet. Låten har allt. Här kan då rakt inte ord användas för att beskriva hur bra den är. Lyssna på den! myspace.com/thediskettes. Hur man än vrider och vänder på den är det en per-jävla-fekt poplåt.


* * *

Once just wasting time
not long ago
twice you made me laugh and smile and so three more times
I asked you to be mine.
So for a little while I held your hand.
Five fingers grabbed so tightly and
I felt sick.
It's the hardest test I ever wrote.

It may seem naive but at least it's sincere
that I don't really care about anything else
except holding you close and holding you near.
And it may seem stupid but at least it's the truth
that there ain't no point in being obscure and there ain't no point in being obtuse.

Once when I was young and not so bold
twice you made me laugh and I was sold and I tried
but three times and my efforts died.
So for the longest time I wasted it.
Five months went by with sleeping in in your place
but maybe this was my saving grace.

It may seem naive but at least it's sincere
that I don't really care about anything else
except holding you close and holding you near
And it may seem stupid but at least it's the truth
that there ain't no point in being obscure and there ain't no point in being obtuse.
