Which romantic songs do you like?

🇸🇪 Always here
Andreas Alfredsson Grube & Cristian Sandquist

Soundtrack from the movie "Possession"

Romantic, cinematic, kind of powerful 'instrumental ballad' from the movie "Possession".
I believe (but am not sure) that the music creators are Swedish.

 
🇮🇹 Affresco
Rondò Veneziano

When I heard this music piece one year ago, out of the blue tears rolled down. Just like that, without any connected memories or anything - and just continued. Like a silent call, deep buried memories/connection/emotion (?) normally totally inaccessible, and yet still deeply connected from a long time ago, far far away...

I was truly startled to say the least.

Apparently it is a famous music piece (masterpiece?)
It is absolutely beautiful !

I've loved Rondo since the 80s. I heard them first when I was living in Germany.

Song "Au bout"


Translated into English:

My steps will be slow
Embraced by lichen
Moving roots

My eyes will be deep
Hollowed out from the bottom of the sea
Unattainable stump

Twisted hands
Like my lineage
Of unfinished branches

My hair will be white
Free of dyes
And crossed by spirits

Taken to the end
Taken to the end

We'll be beautiful
Because old
The beauty of geese
Nishkiss tramples our faces

Gone to the end
Gone to the end

Gone to the end
Gone to the end


Song "Piekuakami" (interpreted in the language of the people, i.e. Nehlueun)


Translated into English:

You are love and nostalgia
I hear my footsteps and my childish laughter

Piekuakami, I miss you
Piekuakami

Piekuakami, I miss you
Piekuakami

You are family
You contain the spirit
Of all the beings
I have loved

Piekuakami, I miss you
Piekuakami

Piekuakami, I miss you
Piekuakami

My cries intermingle with your wind
My feet remember
I understand my anchorage

Piekuakami, I miss you
Piekuakami

Piekuakami, I miss you
Piekuakami

Piekuakami, I miss you
Piekuakami

Piekuakami, I miss you
Piekuakami

Chanson "Au bout"


Parole:

Mes pas seront lents
Enlacé au lichen
Racines en mouvement

Mes yeux seront profonds
Creusé de fond de mer
Inatteignable souche

Les mains tordues
Comme ma lignée
De branches inachevée

Mes cheveux seront blanc
Affranchis de teintures
Et traversé d’esprits

Rendu au bout
Rendu au bout

Nous serons beaux
Par ce que vieux
La beauté des oies
Nishkiss piétine nos visages

Rendu au bout
Rendu au bout

Rendu au bout
Rendu au bout

Chanson "Piekuakami" (chanté dans la langue du peuple, soit en Nehlueun)


Traduction en français:

Tu es amour et nostalgie
J’entends mes pas et mes rires d’enfant

Piekuakami, je m’ennuie de toi
Piekuakami

Piekuakami, je m’ennuie de toi
Piekuakami

Tu es famille
Tu contiens l’esprit
De tous les êtres
Que j’ai aimés

Piekuakami, je m’ennuie de toi
Piekuakami

Piekuakami, je m’ennuie de toi
Piekuakami

Mes cris s'entremêlent à ton vent
Mes pieds se souviennent
Je comprend mon ancrage

Piekuakami, je m’ennuie de toi
Piekuakami

Piekuakami, je m’ennuie de toi
Piekuakami

Piekuakami, je m’ennuie de toi
Piekuakami

Piekuakami, je m’ennuie de toi
Piekuakami

Song "Mun d-Iguider"


Translated into English:

Our intertwined landscapes
Of blinding powder
Landscapes of immensity
A storm, a human storm

Our faces of crevasse
Our tattooed bodies
Crater of life, hill belly
Our birth songs

Follow your lead to the mountain
Cross the river to the other side
Follow your lead to the mountain
Cross the river to the other side

Kigh darak zound iguider (I follow you like an eagle)
Ider siman tilila (Who is alive thanks to freedom)
Rzmgh alninu taghzi d tarka (My eyes are open everywhere)

Dergh toudert irwan (My life is happy)
Nbi assif nmoudou (We travel past the river)
Nef adar ndounit (We discover the land)

Mun d-iguider, mun d-iguider
Mun d-iguider, mun d-iguider
Mun d-iguider, mun d-iguider
Mun d-iguider, mun d-iguider

We'll come to life at the top
We'll be born without borders
Crater of life, belly hill
Our birth songs
Our birth songs

Mun d-iguider, mun d-iguider

Chanson "Mun d-Iguider"


Parole:

Nos paysages entremêlés
De poudreries aveuglantes
Paysages d’immensité
Une tempête, tempête humaine

Nos visages de crevasse
Nos corps tatoués
Cratère de vie, ventre colline
Nos chants de naissance

Follow your lead to the mountain
Cross the river to the other side
Follow your lead to the mountain
Cross the river to the other side

Kigh darak zound iguider (Je te suis comme un aigle)
Ider siman tilila (Qui est en vie grâce à la liberté)

Mun d-iguider, mun d-iguider
Mun d-iguider, mun d-iguider
Mun d-iguider, mun d-iguider

Nous prendrons vie au sommet
Nous naîtrons sans frontières

Always loved singing ballads, i have never really got into music on my own, it’s always someone else’s choices and I just listen, generally like individual songs and not so much the artist.

This one is a little different from what I’d usually like, but it instantly struck a sexy romantic chord between my partner and I, just the first few picks on the guitar strings stirred up feelings that made us want our children to not be at home … or go to bed at 5pm.
One of those ‘might only feel like this 10 times in your whole life’ moments.

It’s a cover of Doja Cat ‘Say So’ (which is a crap song) by Aussie band Polish Club..

 
Two things Los briboness


I have two things of yours that I want to return to you.
A curl of your hair and a kiss that I steal from you

With the curl and the kiss you wanted to imprison me
That's why I prefer to get rid of your things so I don't talk to you again.

I don't want anything from you that reminds me of your love
And if I promised you something, forget what happened

The curl has been lost and I can't find it
But I do have the kiss and if you want it right now
I can return it to you

I have two things of yours that I want to return to you.
A curl of your hair and a kiss that I steal from you

With the curl and the kiss you wanted to imprison me
That's why I prefer
Get rid of your things so I don't talk to you again

I don't want anything from you that reminds me of your love
And if I promised you something, forget what happened

The curl has been lost and I can't find it
But I do have the kiss and if you want it right now
I can return it to you.

"Wasting my Young Years"
London Grammar, 2013



It isn't exactly a romantic song, or if it is, than it is inclined towards regret, heart break and wrong choices. London Grammar's leading voice is a really beautiful one. There is a pull in her voice i find to be very special.




"Metal & Dust"
London Grammar, 2013



Wrong choices and heart breaks or transitioning into parallell version of "living together", but not really living together anymore. I think we can recognize those failed relationships from our past... how it starts. And how it ends. When the house we built, starts to rust... "Oh, it's just metal and dust".

The video shows the lyrics.




"Wicked Game"
Chris Isaak, 1991



Simply a Classic.
 
🇸🇪 Where the ice is at its thinnest
Marie Fredriksson [from Roxette]

People know her from the music group Roxette - but few know her Swedish album from 1992 which at the time of publishing was unusual darkly and melancholic. I liked the whole album "The constant journey" ["Den ständiga resan"] very much, because it had endlessly more depth compared to the songs Roxette was so famous for.


We walk where the ice is the thinnest
I know we're walking on a fire
I know how lonely it can feel I've fallen so many times myself
But I believe in you when you look at me
When you understand that I love you
I believe in you when you look at me
I believe in you

I know I should have said it better Maybe I shouldn't have said it at all
I wish life was easier to live but I can't live like no one at all
But I believe in you when I look at you
When you understand that I love you
I believe you when I look at you Stay with me
Stay with me
When the ice is at its thinnest...

Thank you so much for this, I just love Marie and wasn't aware this album exist :love:

Yeah - something dreamy about it.
Cigarettes After Sex are my favorite in this vein, just realised there is actually a genre called dream pop :-D I guess I am fan

I be darned, this is the lesson on how everything can be so deceiving in today’s world. I was curious to find out who is a lead singer behind this beautiful voice and it turns our its a male. And apparently he is masculine man, married with kids.
Cigarettes After Sex is an American dream pop band formed in El Paso, Texas, in 2008 by Greg Gonzalez. The band is known for their ethereal, limerent and often dream-like musical style, lyrics often based on the themes of romance and love, as well as Gonzalez's voice, which has been described as "androgynous".
Strange times we live in :shock:
