Jeg drømmer 100 til 1
Denne blogpost skulle have været nr. 100 i februar (vistnok personlig rekord, men jeg skal nok lade være med at kvantificere, det må jeg ikke for Promenaden), i stedet for bliver den nr. 1 i marts, hvilket også er okay, fordi jeg efter entusiatisk Beatles-musical på Frederiksberg Gymnasium på hårde, hårde amfiteater-sæder og Asian Salat på Gl. Kongevejs The Laundromat Café, hvor jeg har planlagt at foretage min NÆSTsidste møntvask, inden vi får vores vaskemaskine omsider, men jeg ved ikke, om jeg har modet, for maskinerne ser godt nok MEGET moderne ud med deres digitale blinken og alting, faldt i søvn på sofaen og først vågnede klokken 3 med ekkoet af en drøm om nedtrampede jordbærmarker.

3 populærmusikalske meta-hymner
1. The Beatles: Only a Northern Song
If you're listening to this song
You may think the chords are going wrong
But they're not
He just wrote it like that
When you're listening late at night
You may think the bands are not quite right
But they are
They just play it like that
It doesn't really matter what chords I play
What words I say or time of day it is
As it's only a Northern Song
It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear
or how I fare or if my hair is brown
When it's only a Northern Song
If you think the harmony
Is a lttle dark and out of key
You're correct
There's nobody there
And I told you there's no one there
I wrote this song two hours before we met.
I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet.
Oh I could have stayed at home and gone to bed.
I could have gone to see a film instead.
You might have changed your mind and seen your friends.
Life could have been very different but then,
something changed.
Do you believe that there's someone up above?
Does he have a timetable directing acts of love?
Why did I write this song on that one day?
Why did you touch my hand and softly say.
Stop asking questions that don't matter anyway.
Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today.
Something changed.
When we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing,
that in a matter of hours we'd change the way we were going.
Where would I be now if we'd never met?
Would I be singing this song to someone else instead?
I dunno but like you said
something changed.
