Shaka Loveless - Tomgang
Everytime when I listen to the song sang in Danish that I like, I have mixed feelings. It's a mix of joy and shame. Joy from the fact that I like the song and shame from the fact that I don't speak a word in Danish. You'll probably think - so why the heck (or any other shock-asking sentence) a blog about the Danish music without knowing Danish? Well, there's no good explanation to this queation. I promise to work on my Danish... someday... Now, I just listen to it, and listen to it and I really like Shaka Loveless song "Tomgang".
I never liked reggae. Every sound even just a little bit similar to it irritates me. But with Shaka Loveless it's different. Pulsating around-reggae rhythm is nice and makes me swing involuntairly.
About what does Shaka Loveless sings (raps???) ? I have no idea, sorry. But he does it in the way that I want to listen to it even though I have not a clue what it's all about. Give him a try and let yourself swing to "Tomgang".
WHAT? WHERE? HOW?
Danish music rocks!
ReplyDelete*And I don't speak a word in Danish, too...
Yes, it is just great!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to learn Danish, but didn't make to do it yet. It's a crazy hard language, but I like how it sounds in the songs.
BTW: Thanks for checking out the blog! :)
I'm danish, anything u would like to have translated? :-)
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteThanks for leaving the comment! :)
I'm curious if I got the song meaning right. Is it something about being tired and giving up?
Also, I'd like to ask do you have any webside that contains Danish songs lyrics? In Poland we have for example something like this: http://www.tekstowo.pl/piosenka,turboweekend,erase_myself.html with different lyrics. Do you have Danish webside where I can find lyrics to songs like "Tomgang"?
I'd be grateful for help!
Greetings from Poland - you have amazing musicians in your country! :)
Well, that is pretty much right! The guy is frustrated, 'cause his relationship is being ripped apart.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but i don't really know a website like that, but the lyrics to "tomgang" is here: http://artists.letssingit.com/shaka-loveless-lyrics-tomgang-rptr8v1
Most of the times i guess u can find the lyrics just by searching on google :-)
Hugs from Denmark, i'm glad u like our music!!
I adore your music! :)

ReplyDeleteIdle
ReplyDeleteEverything feels like idle
I'm not moving
The parking lot is still empty
So I'm getting a round and empties the bottle
'Cause I want to drop dead at the parking lot
You said that we should meet here
At the parking lot
But you were snow-blind in the snow
Now you can't find home
I'm raging at the sky
Shouting at the crowd
Fighting demons
I've got to get my friend back
I've got to get myself back
Alone I'm nothing
Don't walk with the dead
Together we can trick it
Aih aih
We were like one
You were my
Best friend
Stronger than stone
But just like you can explode the a mountain
Can snow get anyone in decay
The string broke and we were tightened to tight
Tried to stop you
But you sailed away
You got in trouble*
and I came along
You pulled me down
Everything feels like idle
I'm not moving
The parking lot is still empty
So I'm getting a round and empties the bottle
'Cause I want to drop dead at the parking lot
My brain is a chaos**
And I don't see you
But everything I want to see
Have got something to do with you
So I'm still waiting
At the parking lot
Hoping that you would come this way
Oooh
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
Yes, I'm waiting
I'm waiting
Waiting
I'm waiting
Can't get you
'Cause the place that you are prisoned
is in you
You've got to understand
That you must walk yourself
'Cause only you can beat yourself
I've got to get away from here
The parking lot is closing, the light turns off
Inhibits me
Breaking me
You were my boy
I tried to call you
You avoided me
It's all right now
I hope that you are all right now
Yeeeeeah
We were as one
You were my
Best friend
Stronger than stone
But just like you can explode the a mountain
Can snow get anyone in decay
The string broke and we were tightened to tight
Tried to stop you
But you sailed away
You got in trouble*
and I came along
You pulled me down
Everything feels like idle
I'm not moving
The parking lot is still empty
So I'm getting a round and empties the bottle
'Cause I want to drop dead at the parking lot
My brain is a chaos**
And I don't see you
But everything I want to see
Have got something to do with you
So I'm still waiting
At the parking lot
Hoping that you would come this way
Ooooh
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
Ooooh
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
Yes, I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
Everything feels like idle
I'm not moving
The parking lot is still empty
So I'm getting a round and empties the bottle
'Cause I want to drop dead at the parking lot
My brain is a chaos**

At the parking lot
Hoping that you would come this way
Ooooh
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
Yes, I'm saying
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
