A few years ago Trollet's ex played a song for her. To her. He dedicated it to her. He always did that, communicated through music. He thought this song was perfect. Perfect song for the girl with a messy head. He played the song a year after she decided to move out. Move out from the best thing she ever had. We all make mistakes. Mistakes we regret, mistakes we can't erase, and mistakes we realize we had to do. Maybe we need mistakes to learn. Maybe we need them to feel alive. To feel that we actually feel something. Mistakes wakes you up, pulls you out from that safe little bubble you thought you would always be in, until.. until the mistake. The mistake you chose to do. Why you chose it, is another story. Mistakes are good and bad. Maybe it is not so bad to regret.
This is how the song goes:
The Jayhawks:
Pretty little hairdo don't do what it used to
Can't disguise the living
All the miles that you've been through
Looking like a train wreck
Wearing too much makeup
The burden that you carry
Is more than one soul could ever bear
Don't look so sad, Marina
There's another part to play
Don't look so sad, Marina
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
You neve make your mind up
Like driving with your eyes shut
Rough around the edges
Won't someone come and take you home
Waiting for a breakthrough
What will you set your mind to?
We stood outside the Chinese restaurant
in the rain
Don't look so sad, Marina
There's another part to play
Don't look so sad, Marina
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for a rainy day
Should she cry or laugh? But it is true, probably a good song for her.
When they two years later decided to be together again and she moved home from norway,just to be with him, he told her that he couldn't be with her after all, he couldn't forget, he couldn't trust, he couldn't love her like he used to. They didn't meet for some time. When they finally did, he played a song. A song with strong lyrics. Why? Why this song? What is he saying now? Trollet still doesn't know what his idea was, as he never ever said one more word about it. They hardly ever meet anymore. The song he played was David Gray's:
"Please Forgive Me"
Please forgive me
If I act alittle strange
For I know not what I do.
Feels like lightning running through my veins
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Help me out here
All my words are falling short
And there's so much I want to say
Want to tell you just how good it feels
When you look at me that way
When you look at me that way
Throw a stone and watch the ripples flow
Moving out across the bay
Like a stone I fall into your eyes
Deep into some mystery
Deep into that mystery
I got half a mind to scream out loud
I got half a mind to die
So I won't ever have to lose you girl
Won't ever have to say goodbye
I won't ever have to lie
Won't ever have to say goodbye
Please forgive me
If I act alittle strange
For I know not what I do
It's like my head is filled with lightning girl
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
Everytime I look at you
All Trollet can say is: The Impact of music.. oh dear.. the impact of music.
