Melancholy

Someone told me once I have a melancholic Karma of sorts. Isn´t that kinda funny?
Well today it´s raining cats and dogs outside. My electric bike is calling for me but my wellies are stashed away somewhere safe and my rainy days clothes too. Seems like a good day for studying today. Along with my long time friend Lloyd Cole. Oh that dude!
Brittish English at its best about love and lost love and lost pens and broken records and all that kind of stuff that melancholic people think about.

I remember the day we first met. Me and Lloyd Cole. Not irl. Not at that point, that came later. I saw his face on a cassette tape.  It was a choice between this unknown dude and some australian rockband with a well known radio top ten song. Luckily I picked Lloyd. My dude.  This must have been in the beginning of the 90s. The album is called “No blue skies” which of course brings us right back to this rainy day. Nothing like having morning coffee with hazelnut milk singing along to the theme song for the Album…

“you wanna leave me baby be my guest
all i’m gonna do is cry
and then i’m gonna find there’s someone else
and tear the stars out of the sky
looking for something when there’s nothing there to be found
make it easy on yourself
go out and find your body someone else
and tear the stars out of the sky

Words. Oh words I love words. They can create and destroy and break hearts and build hearts. Oh I think I need another song along with my breakfast boring gluten free sandwich. I have a predilection for songs that makes me cry and this song just hits it every time. Nothing as delicate as a broken heart… For crying out loud.

“I took 15 years to break your spell
I loved you then, I love you still
I wake up cold, I wake up wet
My body weak, my mind is spent

I fill my days, I pay my rent
And I have no need of electric light
Because I dream the same dream every night
I call my man, I know it’s late
Could you fix me something
To put me straight?

‘Cause I need your love
I need it now
God speed your love
For crying out loud, hey yeah

You took all I have, there is no more
Mother nature lied, there is no cure
So I take my pill, I close my eyes
And I wait for sleep, I wait all night
But I see your face, I hear your voice
I call your number, I have no choice

‘Cause I need your love
I need it now
God speed your love
For crying out loud, hey yeah”

I realize lyrics without music is like a gluten free sandwish without ketchup. Weird.
So check out Spotify or whatever means you have. Youtube. Dare to be melancholic. Cry your heart out. Be dramatic. Be authentic. Be unauthentic.
