Best news of the week...

 

[Hobo]

sorry skulllover, i am to lazy to translate it, but i can say the lyrics actualy sound kind of corny in swedish..
shitty good song though.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

What do you know, you're listening to Nick Cave.

Hey you leave Nick out of this!

I hope Damnation has alot of King Crimson influences.

Me too! Here's hoping Damnation will be a restoration of prog rock to it's former glories!!!

 

[Commence Destruction]

GEEKNEEUS !!, although I cant understand a word,the phrasing is beautiful.

 

[Stinkfist]

What does the title mean in English?

 

[wankerness]

The drumming IS pink floyd, jeez. It sounds identical! The keyboard solo was quite surprising, reminded me of amorphis for some reason. The singing sounds like enrique iglesias, though! Maybe it's cause it's not english and I can't deal! I kinda want it to be more opeth. Oh well.

i copied and pasted this from a previous post.



A summer once ago
The warmth sweeps through
We smile, laughing
But a strange calmness take place
Somewhere in the forest
The cave where we played as kids
A harmed body, in eternal sleep
Robbed the dawn of life

Who murdered him
Who took his life
Nobody knows, yet today

Throw the darkness over our "perfect place"(don't know th word)
Light that shines
Takes us to better days
His soul wanders further
We slowly go back
The trail leads us home
The day is soon to end
We try to forget
The murder in the cave

Who murdered him
Who took his life
Nobody knows, yet today

Who murdered him
Who took his life
Nobody knows, yet today

Swedish:

En sommar en gång
värmen sveper igenom
vi ler skrattande
men ett lömskt lugn infinner sig
någonstans i skogen
grottan där vi lekte som barn
en sargad kropp i evig sömn
berövad livets gryning

Vem var det som mördade honom
Vem var det som tog hans liv
ingen vet, ens idag

kastar mörker över vår idyll
Ett ljus som lyser ömt
ta oss mot bättre dagar
hans själ vandrar vidare
vi går sakta tillbaka
stigen leder oss hem
dagen har lidit mot sitt slut
vi försöker glömma
mordet i grottan

Vem var det som mördade honom
Vem var det som tog hans liv
ingen vet, ens idag

awesome. i like it just how it is, theyll probably make it worse.

Thanks for the lyrics.

I love hearing Mike sing in this Chorus-Verse context... his voice just really suits this kind of music perfectly... especially the Swedish goddamn, what a beautiful language.

 

[airman]

swedish sounds a bit "childish" to me but yet beautiful and kinda cute. Whereas norwegian sounds moronic and danish sounds as if they´re throwing up.

I would have wanted the song in swedish on the album.

Went to see Nick Cave last night and he was great

he couldn´t remember "Straight to you" though

He sang :"Straight to you, when I am captured..... Ohh shit I can´t remember the fuckin song ....*crowdlaughter*... I did some damage to my brain in the past" *more laughter*

 

[Nefilim]

Hmm, I got the impression from the Dan-chat that Mike had used parts of "Mordet" for Damnation... I'm not sure it will be on there in the same style as it is now. More like Damnation is the sequel to Sorskogen and "Mordet"...

 

[Lethe78]

fascinating

 

[spikes77]

im with u , nobody ever said they were gonna take the whole song , and just do it in english , im thinking just different parts.
