We will die together

A Vikings Funeral - Sir Frank Dicksee

To counter the schlager of the previous post, a I thought I would finally post this song, which was the "catchy, feelgood song of the winter" for me. It is chirpy,singable, and has been stuck in my head for ages, coming out at various inappropriate times. It is called Vi kommer at dö tillsammans, du och jag" ("We're going to die at the same time, you and I").

It is by Sakert, headed by the indie darling Annika Norlin. This is her Swedish band project, and she has an English band called Hello Saferide which can be found around the net.

Yes, it is a bit lite, but it's cool, and the clip is fun.




For an English version, another band has done a cover and it can be heard on their myspace page below (use the music player on the right hand side):

Their English Text (from what I can tell, a pretty good translation):

We're Going to Die at the same Time

Dancing close to you. I was supposed to be at home by 4 but stayed and time just flew I hardly had the guts to say hi to you.
I'm quite young you are older than me but I smoke one pack a day so lets say "even Steven" baby

We're Going to Die at the same time you and I

A dog I knew he died a week ago and a few days later his doggie friend he passed to cuz there's no point in being without a best friend I didn't get it then but now I see who it's going to be

We're Going to die at the same time you and I

Inhale exhale I breathe like a pervo in the presence of you
To tired for concealment and stating the obvious hey don't come closer
Please come closer, come on real close

Brains with the same beat we´ve been there done that but not really factually we hide in irony we are breaking free at the same pace (that's enevitable) just hold on tight tonight

We're Going to die at the same time you and I
