MOVITS! – Fel Del Av Gården (lyrics)

Coming from the wrong part of the yard, from the other side of the track
I grew up with gypsies
playing accordion
wanting to tell my future
while my dad emptied a bottle of explorer [cheap vodka]
taught myself to play guitar and those chords
djangos quintett playing from the grammophone
with second hand suits in the closets
and brass bands live every night in the garden

Somehow the tune of the song matches my mood these days. The somewhat disjoint tune, the mumbled lyrics…

As I was traveling, whether to school, whether in the train, as long as I am alone, this is the tune that loops in my mind. I couldn’t really recall where I heard the tune. I can only remember it tells me to wake up, rise and shine.

Somehow, just somehow, I feel a little sad listening to this.

Lyrics for Radiohead – Faust Arp

One two three four

Wakey, wakey, rise and shine
It’s on again, off again, on again
Watch me fall like dominos

A music video about the life of the common lowlands code monkey. Love the lyrics.

Code Monkey

I love this song! It’s brilliant.

Partial lyrics

Rob say code monkey very diligent
but his output stink.
His code not functional or elegant.
What did code monkey think?

Code monkey thinks
maybe manager want write the God-damn login page himself.

Code monkey not saying
out loud,
code monkey not crazy,
just proud.

Here’s some information on the people behind the song and video. (more…)
