This happy little track is a celebration of the beauty of life in spite (and maybe BECAUSE) of the hardships as well as the sweet cotton candy that comes with them. It is an aknowledgement of the duality of dreaming and living, and an encouragement to shrug one's shoulders in the face of darkness and actually embracing the situation and seducing it with a sexy little dance. There is a quiet victory in simply being.
lyrics
(English translation below the Español lyrics, olé!!!)
El mundo que conocí
ahora pertenece al museo
El mundo en el que nací
se ha convertido en un mausoleo
¿Dónde está el ladrón que robó
lo que no se llevó el viento?
¿Dónde está el ladrón que robó
la última página de nuestro cuento?
El mundo me ve y pasa de largo
y sin embargo
voy realizando mi labor
le canto al amor
Voy dibujando nubes de color
alrededor del resplandor
voy transformando mi dolor
en el latido de un tambor
y.... sin embargo...
NEVERTHELESS
The world i knew
now belongs in the museum
The world I was born in
has now become a mausoleum
Where is the thief who stole
what wasn't gone with the wind?
Where is the thief who stole
the last page of our tale?
The world sees me and it passes me by
nevertheless
I am accomplishing my work
I sing to Love
I go around drawing colored clouds
around the radiance
I go about transforming my pain
into the beat of a drum
Adventurously simplified instrumentation is a test to how using negative space consciously on a record can only add to the intensity of the present sounds. Guaranteed chills up the spine on The Wave. Nube Fénix
All music by Jenny Hval is an expansive experience that explores in music and words the uncharted territories of the inner world. Her fearless cetacean voice will guide your discovery of yourself. Nube Fénix
The most profound work yet by this outstanding poet of darkness. Perfect balance between her more acoustic sounding music and the heavy rocking of her previous Hiss Spun. Arrestingly creative persona. Nube Fénix
