| The Radio Dept. – A Window Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
"I'm proud of both my hands, I just won't get loud about it " The singer Johan Duncansson seems to be very humble and modest, even for a swede! In the dialogue at their shows you can almost count his words on ten fingers. I think the lyrics in this song show his thoughts about some of that, but more generally his thoughts about commercialism and the music industry. He is proud of their work and music, but doesn't feel the need to brag and bigmouth about it. I also think he would be very bad at just that, since he seems so shy. So to me this song portrays abit of nervousness but also a very refreshing question: why do we need to become famous? |

| The Radio Dept. – Freddie and the Trojan Horse Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
This song has got to be the most politically outspoken song of The Radio Dept. Duncansson seem for the first time really pissed off and doesn't leave much out for speculation in his lyrics about our prime minister. "You waved a banner at our latest show ...You made me feel like Zarah Leander" Maybe this means that Freddy "waved their banner" or somehow let people know he liked their music, or just something else in general that they stand for.. (It actually seems likely to me by the way Fredrik acts in the media) And this makes them feel like Zara Leander felt when she was the favourite actor of the Nazis. I don't know how she felt but it's how i've percieved the song. The trojan horse is (like liebling points out) a clear reference to how Fredrik Reinfeldt chose to "dress out" his political party to look like the new workers party that would put the interests of the working-class upfront. Which was just another dirty trick if you ask me. Although comparing him with the Nazis isn't really fair. |
