Ok, paar dagen geleden een discussie met Ajay.. Er was een nummer op MTV en ik wist zeker dat ik het kende.. Zij ook.. Zij dacht aan ‘Unfinished Sympathy‘ van Massive Attack. Ik wist eigenlijk wel zeker van niet. Nummer opgezocht op internet, zo 1-2-3 niets kunnen.. Wat beter gezocht en de oplossing was (zoals zo vaak) vrij simpel: het nummer had dezelfde titel en artiest als het origineel, alleen in een nieuwe remix. *zucht* Deze dus:

You Got The Love
The Source ft. Candi Staton

“Sometimes I feel like
Throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying
Lord I just don’t care
But you’ve got the love I need
To see me through

Sometimes it seems that
The going is just too rough
And things go wrong
No matter what I do
Now and then I feel
That life is just too much
But you’ve got the love
I need to see me through

When food is gone
You are my daily meal
When friends are gone I know
My saviour’s love is real
Your love is real

Every once in a while
I say Lord I can’t go on
Every once in a while
I get to feeling blue
Every once in a while
it seems like I am all alone
But you got the love
I need to see me through

Occasionally
my thoughts are brave and friends are few
Occasionally
I cry out Lord what must I do
Occasionally
I call up Master make me new
You’ve got the love
I need to see me through

Sometimes I feel like
Throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying
Lord I just don’t care
But you’ve got the love I need
To see me through”

Na mijn vorige log, loop ik al een paar dagen rond met het nummer ‘Mrs. Robinson’ van Simon & Garfunkel. Niet onlogisch want hij komt zowel voor in ‘Rumor Has It…‘ als ‘The Graduate‘. Hij komt van het album ‘Bookends’ (en natuurlijk de soundtrack van ‘The Graduate’).

Mrs. Robinson
Simon & Garfunkel

“And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey

We’d like to know a little bit about your for our files
We’d like to help you learn to help yourself.
Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes,
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home.

And here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey

Hide in the hiding place where no one ever goes.
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes.
It’s a little secret just the Robinsons’ affair.
Most of all you’ve got to hide it from the kids.

Koo-koo-ka-choo, Mrs. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon.
Going to the candidate’s debate.
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you’ve got to choose
Every way you look at this you lose.

Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio,
Our nation turns it’s lonely eyes to you.
What’s that you say, Mrs. Robinson.
Jotting Joe has left and gone away,
Hey hey hey.”

Op de meest depressieve dag van het jaar, presteert TMF het om de ’30 minutes of depression’ uit te zenden.. Dat kleine beetje blijheid dat nog in me zat, is nu wel even weg… Heb achtereenvolgens ‘One’ van U2, ‘Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?’ van Moby en ‘Everybody Hurts’ van REM voorbij horen komen.. *zucht*

En ze begonnen met Pearl Jam.. Over ellende gesproken: de band die voor hun ogen bij een optreden op Roskilde 9 mensen zagen omkomen.. Life sucks..

Nou ja, ‘Jeremy’ dus.. Van het album ‘Ten’.. Video: RM / WM

Jeremy
Pearl Jam

“At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops
With him on top lemin yellow sun,
arms raised in a V
And the dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn’t give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn’t care
King jeremy the wicked…oh, ruled his world…
Jeremy spoke in class today… (2x)

Clearly I remember pickin’ on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
Ooh, but we unleashed a lion…
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady’s breast…
How can I forget?
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin’…ooh, dropped wide open
Just like the day…oh, like the day I heard

Daddy didn’t give affection, no…
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn’t wear
King jeremy the wicked…oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today… (3x)
Woo… (14x)
Try to forget this…try to forget this…
Try to erase this…try to erase this…
From the blackboard…

Jeremy spoke in class today… (2x)
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in… (2x)
Jeremy spoke in class today…
Woo… (29x)
Woooooohhh…spoke in, spoke in…
Woooooohhh…uh huh, uh huh…”

Een gouwe-ouwe uit mijn Hoendiep Flatbar tijd.. Das alweer een tijdje geleden.. Nummer komt van het album ‘Villains’ uit 1996.

Freshman
The Verve Pipe

“When I was young I knew everything
She a punk who rarely ever took advice
Now I’m guilt stricken,
Sobbing with my head on the floor
Stop a baby’s breath and a shoe full of rice

I can’t be held responsible
She was touching her face
I won’t be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and
We’d never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe
We’d ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

My best friend took a week’s
Vacation to forget her
His girl took a weeks’s worth of
Valium and slept
And now he’s guilt stricken sobbing with his
Head on the floor
Thinks about her now and how he never really
Wept he says

I can’t be held responsible
She was touching her face
I won’t be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and
We’d never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe
We’d ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

hey yeah
hey yeah
hey yeah

We’ve tried to wash our hands of all this
We never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we’re guilt stricken sobbing with our
Heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to
Slip, we’d say

I can’t be held responsible
She was touching her face
And I won’t be held responsible
She fell in love in the first place

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and
We’d never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe
We’d ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen

For the life of me I cannot remember
What made us think that we were wise and
We’d never compromise
For the life of me I cannot believe
We’d ever die for these sins
We were merely freshmen
We were merely freshmen”
