SHAKA LOVELESS - Tomgang [LISTEN TO IT!]

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?

  2. Yes, it is just great!
    I 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! :)

    1. Hi,

      Thanks 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! :)

  4. Well, that is pretty much right! The guy is frustrated, 'cause his relationship is being ripped apart.

    I'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!!

  7. Idle

    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
    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

    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
