| Blixa Bargeld – Come Up and See Me Lyrics
| 1 year ago
|
|
One of the most touching edearing songs by Blixa Bargeld and Teho Teardo. Surely you can just see yourself standing on the roof with your feet in cement looking out for that one friend you are so eager to receive some love from."Are you happy to see me, or is that a gun in your pocket?" Beautiful and honourabel little stage there for Levinas and Buber, from whom we learned: "The face, in its nudity and defenselessness, signifies: Do not kill me." Love this song so much! |

| Einstürzende Neubauten – The Garden Lyrics

I think AngeloKS is right! The symbolic religious hints are unmistakable: the perfect garden, the entrance of evil, the Fall, the weight of conscientiousness and loss. And, the music in the second half is borrowed directly from Arvo Part's 'Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten'. This particular musical work is all about loss and death. Part wrote it, duh haha, in memory of composer Benjamin Britten, whose music he greatly appreciated. All Music says of Part's music: "The most prominent melodic contour is a simple descending a minor scale; this descending line (...) hints at a kind of multidimensional chronology that exists only in the hereafter. The melodic voices can be read to correspond with the mortal and the eternal -a dichotomy of body and spirit." Apart from the genius trigger for this song (the elderly lady), there really is enormous depth in the lyrics and music, it expresses the deepest possible feelings between finite and infinite. Love it! |
