Käsiohjelma: Sibafest: Songs From the North

15.3.2022

Tervetuloa kuuntelemaan pohjoismaalaisten naisartistien upeita pop-kappaleita kantele-lauluduon esittämänä. Kappaleet kietoutuvat yhteisen teeman ympärille kertoen tarinoita ihmisyyden pimeämmistä puolista, kuten ylpeydestä, katkeruudesta ja kostosta. Kaikessa karheudessaan ihmisten synkemmät puolet tuovat meistä esiin herkkyyttä ja haavoittuvuutta.

Kaikki kappaleet on sovitettu uudelleen kantele-lauluduolle. Herkkien sovitusten kautta voimakkaat tekstit ja lauluäänen eri sävyt pääsevät oikeuksiinsa.

Sanoitukset

Kalandra: Waiting game, (säv. san. Florian Bernhard Winter, Jogeir Daae Mœland, Katrine Stenbekk)

There’s a fire inside me
Waiting for something
Waiting for something
Burning uncontrollably
If I do nothing
If I do nothing

I’m waiting for you, you’re waiting for me Afraid of what we’ll find if we let words run free

You got me stuck in a daze
You’re wondering what not to say
I am not thinking clearly when you’re saying my name
I look you deep in the eye
You wonder if I will stay
Until the heat of the moment takes us away

Cannot hide you spark my flame whether you feed it or not
We both play the waiting game
No one will win in the end
I’m waiting for you, you’re waiting for me
Afraid of what we’ll find if we let words run free

Skott: Wolf (san. Säv. Pauline Skött)

I like the sound of your heartbeat
Your pulse is pushing against me
I’m good when you are around
You keep me warm in your bloodstream
You keep me calm when you breathe in
Now I don’t know what I’ve done

I’ve been trying but not enough
Please do not give up on us
I’m a wolf howling
In the moonlight, calling out
Like a fool howling
on your doorstep, calling out

I hate that everything’s different
My clothes, my haircut is different
But still I’m feeling the same
What is eternal about love?
If there’s a way to turn it off
You know, so show me the way

But if trying could mean enough
You will not give up on us

Sigrid: Strangers, (san. säv. Sigrid Solbakk Raabe, Martin Sjølie)

Just like in the movies
It starts to rain and we
We’re the broken beauties
Blindfolded minds collide and we fall
When the curtain drops
Our touch is just a touch
Not like in the movies
Our story’s after the end

Like strangers, perfect pretenders
We’re falling head over heels
For something that ain’t real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I

Memories in photos
Too easy to rewrite
Left as lonely shadows
Holding each other tight and we fall

Think we got it, but we made up a dream
’Cause we’ve got a pretty look of what we could be, woo
I don’t want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we’re alone

You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
Not like in the movies

Lykke Li: No rest for the wicked, (san. säv. Lykke Li, Björn Yttling)

My one heart hurt another
So only one life can’t be enough
Can you give me just another
For that one who got away

Lonely I, I’m so alone now
There’ll be no rest for the wicked
There’s no song for the choir
There’s no hope for the weary
If you let them win without a fight

If one heart can mend another
Only then can we begin
So won’t you hold on a little longer
Don’t let them get away

I let my good one down
I let my true love die
I had his heart but I broke it everytime

Sigrid: Everybody knows, (san. säv. Leonard Cohen, Sharon Robinson, originally performed by Leonard Cohen)

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long-stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you’ve been faithful
Oh, give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you’ve been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows, everybody knows
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows

And everybody knows that it’s now or never
Everybody knows that it’s me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
When you’ve done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe’s still picking cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it’s moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there’s gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows

And everybody knows that you’re in trouble
Everybody knows what you’ve been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it’s coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
Everybody knows

Skott: Amelia, (san. Säv. Pauline Skött, Simon Hassle)

Stay, stay Amelia
I swear if you reach that door
You’re not welcome anymore

Plates and bottles on the floor
I can’t fix them on my own

Gee, we had it figured out
Limitless in love
We even broke into a warehouse
So no one would find out
Your father chased us down
We even packed that suitcase
Are you really walking out?

Party, we’re gonna throw a party
If you decide to stay here
We’re gonna throw a party
If you decide to stay

Skott: Bloodhound, (san. Säv. Pauline Skött, Agrin Rahmani)

How lo-lo-long can this go on
In your eyes there’s a vow to take me down
Fendi and frames, under the sun shady eyes
No, you ain’t fooling anyone

I’ve been looking for an alibi
To take you out of sight, take you out of mind
Every second, every minute counts
I release the hounds and they’re running now

How lo-lo-low, low can you go
On you own you’re just a badger with a bone
So run tell your friends, the ones that are left
When I’m done you’re gonna need them I’m afraid

’Cause I’ve been planning for an alibi
To take you out of sight, take you out of mind
Every second, every minute counts
I release the hounds and they’re running now

AURORA: Running with the wolves, (san. säv. Aurora Aksnes, Michelle Leonard, Nicolas Rebscher)

Go row the boat to safer grounds
But don’t you know we’re stronger now
My heart still beats and my skin still feels
My lungs still breathe, my mind still fears

But we’re running out of time
Oh, all the echoes in my mind cry
There’s blood on your lies
The sky’s open wide
There is nowhere for you to hide
The hunter’s moon is shining

I’m running with the wolves tonight
I’m running with the wolves
I’m running with the wolves tonight
I’m running with the wolves
I’m running with the

Trick or treat, what would it be?
I walk alone, I’m everything
My ears can hear and my mouth can speak
My spirit talks, I know my soul believes

A gift, curse
They track and hurt
Say can you dream in nightmares seems
A million voices, silent screams
Where hope is left so incomplete

AURORA: Cure for me, (san. säv. Aurora Aksnes, Magnus Skylstad)

I run from the liars, the fuel on the fire
I know I created myself
I know I can’t fight the sad days and bad nights
But I never asked for your help

You got hurt
No, we don’t belong together
So you took the love from my arms
Into the arms of yours

But I don’t need a cure for me
I don’t need it
No, I don’t need a cure for me
I don’t need it
No, I don’t need a cure for me

I don’t like the tension, the misapprehensions
About our nature in love
The glorious teachers are no use for creatures
Who knows how to play with the gods

You got nerves, but they never show
Unless they hurt, so you blamed it all
On my love, the moving
Heart I got
