Strange lyrics
Everyone loves good lyrics. I didn't.. I used to concentrate solely on the melody. The words were just another instrument with varying quality. But I still liked to sing along to whatever song I happened to be listening at the moment, probably of some sadistic reason. So by some strange circuitry in my brain I could sing along with almost any song I liked. But if someone asked me to recite the lyrics I drew a blank. I sort of knew the phonetics and pitch of the songs but never took the time to let the words and meaning sink in to my head. I've got a lot better at listening to the lyrics though and sometimes even appreciating them.
But this has led to that I now can sing along to quite a few foreign songs where I don't have fuggin clue what I'm saying. There is the french song Elisa. I can sort of figure most of the lyrics as is goes "Elisa" over and over, but I'm still annoyed that I don't have an idea about the words in between. So I started to make up my own English lyrics were Elisa gives herself as a Christmas present to a small boy. Elisa have serious issues.. Another one of those songs were Piu' Bella Cosa by Eros Ramazzotti but with the Italian songs I have now learnt to understand some of the lyrics! This have made me understand just how stupid some of the lyrics I sang were.. "Lake of light" my ass. Damn hippie.
My next step is to try to understand all the Japanese cartoon songs I learnt from when I was small. Yeah you heard me.. When I was small. Really small.. It is not like I watch stuff like that today. That would be silly. But if I ever meet a beautiful Japanese at least I can serenade her with the song I call Yura Yura and here is taste
Yura Yura to yuganda sonae ki mi nome to e tonda yuuuuuke!
If someone have the slightest of a clue what I sang please let me know. Go Naruto!
