Archief - Beste Song(text/writer)

ik vraag mij af wie/wat is nu julliie favoriete song writer of gewoon jullie favoriete text?

mijne favoriete text is Kingdom of madness - Magnum

When the night is on the run
and your dreams are almost gone
seas of fire snatch your soul
beast of morning then unfold

in a whirlpool sadness creeps
shadows walk with silent feet
is there something in the air
turns your hope into dispair
- - refrein:
Oh kingdom of madness you've got me undone
oh kingdom of madness you've really begun
oh kingdom of madness you've got me on the run
- -/refrein
When the night is on the run
and your dreams are almost gone
seas of fire snatch your soul
beast of morning then unfold

take your hands away from me
leave my eyes so I can see
it's not pleasure that you seek
you destroy the ones who are week
[Refrein]
the minstrel sings as he
looks at me
but he doesn't make a sound
and a lovely time is had
by all
as the jester takes his crown
everyone's laughing
everyone's laughing
everyone's laughing but me


en favo songwriter Joey DeMaio van Manowar

favo text :

Abn ft gorki - ex-liefdadigheid

Was het leven een schaakspel, verloor ik net m'n koningin
Die pion die alles kon en overwon van in het begin
Mijn muur van ongevoeligheid voor een nieuwe relatie stond ik niet open
Maar ‘t is bekend dat jij met een glimlach van je ogen muren kon slopen
Dus rozengeur maneschijn zonder sleur samenzijn
Later water bij de wijn op termijn van oase naar woestijn
Was er maar een medicijn tegen de pijn dat ik niet meer bij je kan zijn
Hoe kan iets zo zoet als marsepein na een tijdje smaken naar azijn
‘t Is duidelijk dat ik wegkwijn als ik kom aangestrompeld
Gewoon verrot, gemarteld, getormenteerd en verschrompeld
In mijn eigen snot, zweet en tranen gedompeld
Als je weet wat ik bedoel en voel vind je mij geen wanker
Want echte liefde kan een ziekte zijn, dodelijk als kanker
Al ben je een grote olietanker, wat ben je zonder anker
Van haven naar haven zonder aan te leggen, verloren op de oceaan
Als een eenzaam lelijk eendje en niet meer jouw mooie zwaan
Eens simultaan stilgestaan bij ons bestaan en misgegaan
Onvoldaan spontaan bij me vandaan, wat heb ik misdaan?
Om dit te verdienen, geef me alsjeblieft nog een beetje van je tijd
En een overdosis van je ex-liefdadigheid

Ik ben je kwijt en lijd nu onder het feit dat spijt
Bijna altijd te laat komt en nooit op tijd
Verloor de strijd en lijd nu onder het feit dat spijt
Te laat kwam, want ik ben je kwijt
En geef me nog een beetje van je ex-liefdadigheid

Elke dag vecht ik mijn strijd in mijn mentale dojo
Gevoelsmatig ken ik meer ups en downs dan een jojo
Maar het leven gaat door al zijn er wissels op het spoor
Dus beste beentje voor en ga dervoor want je dumpte in mijn oor
Ik ben niet meer verliefd op jou, maar we kunnen vrienden blijven
Yeah, en bananen die zijn blauw en stenen die kunnen drijven
Ik wil breken met mijn gebreken en toch blijf ik je smeken
Jij kijkt in de toekomst terwijl ik alleen maar heb teruggekeken
Naar ons gedeelde verleden, door mij verheerlijkt en aanbeden
Voor jou overreden en overleden dus geen reden om er tijd aan te besteden
Van gezonde baby, naar peuter naar kleuter naar kinderlijkje
Liefde, geleuter, machtspelletjes, maar wat bereik je
Een supermarkt vol herinneringen, een dikkere laag eelt rond je hart
Gooi de dobbelsteen maar weer en ga terug naar start
Liefde is die hond die je blijft aaien al weet je dat ie bijt
En is dat mes dat langs één kant pijnlijker snijdt

Ik ben je kwijt en lijd nu onder het feit dat spijt
Bijna altijd te laat komt en nooit op tijd
Verloor de strijd en lijd nu onder het feit dat spijt
Te laat kwam, want ik ben je kwijt
En geef me nog een beetje van je ex-liefdadigheid

Eenzaam, machteloos ja zie me hier nu zitten
Radeloos en slapeloos terwijl de meeste mensen pitten
Ik leef op dezelfde planeet als gisteren; maar vandaag lijkt die kouder
En grauwer met het cliché van de vissen in de zee en de volhouder
Wint... niet want ik kwam eruit als de verliezer
Mijn problemen laten je koud dank je wel, mevrouw diepvriezer
Is dit nu zo'n typisch geval van actie en reactie
Want ik had een goede auto en nu neem ik de taxi
Zonder planning of remming in hoogste versnelling naar eindbestemming
Maar om te beweren dat ik weet waar ik mee bezig ben dat is een gewaagde
stelling
De telling van de teller, ik betaal mijn ritjes duur
‘t Maakt niet uit naar waar ik rijd, ‘t is je signatuur onder de factuur
Deze klant betaalt constant contant, gestrand in je bestand
Van hoofdrol naar figurant die balanceert op de rand
Van verstand tegen gevoel, gevoel tegen verstand
Ik word verscheurd tussen mijn emotionele en rationele kant

Mja, ik heb hele hoop favoriete teksten. Maar als ik dan toch moet kiezen, tekst van meester songwriter Nick Cave, The Mercy Seat.

It began when they come took me from my home
And put me in Dead Row,
Of which I am nearly wholly innocent, you know.
And I'll say it again
I..am..not..afraid..to..die.

I began to warm and chill
To objects and their fields,
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
The face of Jesus in my soup
Those sinister dinner meals
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
A hooked bone rising from my food
All things either good or ungood.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of truth.
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die.

Interpret signs and catalogue
A blackened tooth, a scarlet fog.
The walls are bad. Black. Bottom kind.
They are sick breath at my hind
They are sick breath at my hind
They are sick breath at my hind
They are sick breath gathering at my hind

I hear stories from the chamber
How Christ was born into a manger
And like some ragged stranger
Died upon the cross
And might I say it seems so fitting in its way
He was a carpenter by trade
Or at least that's what I'm told

Like my good hand I
tatooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist
That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist.

In Heaven His throne is made of gold
The ark of his Testament is stowed
A throne from which I'm told
All history does unfold.
Down here it's made of wood and wire
And my body is on fire
And God is never far away.

Into the mercy seat I climb
My head is shaved, my head is wired
And like a moth that tries
To enter the bright eye
I go shuffling out of life
Just to hide in death awhile
And anyway I never lied.

My kill-hand is called E.V.I.L.
Wears a wedding band that's G.O.O.D.
`Tis a long-suffering shackle
Collaring all that rebel blood.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of truth.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is burning
And I think my head is glowing
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all this weighing up of truth.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And I've got nothing left to lose
And I'm not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is glowing
And I think my head is smoking
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all this looks of disbelief.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway there was no proof
Nor a motive why.

And the mercy seat is smoking
And I think my head is melting
And in a way I'm helping
To be done with all this twisted of the truth.
A lie for a lie
And a truth for a truth
And I've got nothing left to lose
And I'm not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is melting
And I think my blood is boiling
And in a way I'm spoiling
All the fun with all this truth and consequence.
An eye for an eye
And a truth for a truth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
A life for a life
And a truth for a truth
And anyway there was no proof
But I'm not afraid to tell a lie.

And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this measuring of truth.
An eye for an eye
And a truth for a truth
And anyway I told the truth
But I'm afraid I told a lie.

Jin "Carpe Diem"

The Emcee yeah Carpe Diem
ya gotta seize the day
let's go

Ya see something you want then go for it (go for it)
don't think twice go for it (go for it)
don't think twice go for it (go for it)
don't leave this earth with nothing to show for it (nah)
I see something I want I go for it (go for it)
can't think twice I go for it (go for it)
can't think twice I go for it (go for it)
can't leave this earth with nothing to show for it

I'm part emcee part shaman
ressurect dead poets through the art of rhymin
a professor with extra hard assignments
inspired by the stars alignments
I cause defiance with bars of science
devour my prey like the jaws of lions
in laymans terms you lames can burn
my course only for those that came to learn
the proper mechanics how to use the linguistics
like the X-Men a school for the gifted
but before you can rock the crowd
I make you walk on hot coal no socks allowed
a simple test that'll set fire to the best
I represent the IQ's higher than the rest
heard the wind whisper sent the breeze my way
Carpe Diem yo I gotta seize the day trust me

Ya see something you want then go for it (go for it)
don't think twice go for it (go for it)
don't think twice go for it (go for it)
don't leave this earth with nothing to show for it (nah)
I see something I want I go for it (go for it)
can't think twice I go for it (go for it)
can't think twice I go for it (go for it)
can't leave this earth with nothing to show for it

if opportunity was at your front door and it saw it's locked
It might walk away so open before it knocks
I know I ain't the first to tell ya
when you don't take action you planting a seed for failure
you can bend the rules and break the guidelines
or follow the play and sit on the sidelines
which are you huh the first or the latter
knowledge of self is a personal matter
well let's see double check the facts
if money grew on trees would you go and get an axe
prepare for the blossom achieve what's yours
or sit back and wait for the leaves to fall
see only in dreams will men be free
that's the way it's been and how it always will be
*pooofff*
I send the breeze your way
Carpe Diem yo you gotta seize the day trust me

Ya see something you want then go for it (go for it)
don't think twice go for it (go for it)
don't think twice go for it (go for it)
don't leave this earth with nothing to show for it (nah)
I see something I want I go for it (go for it)
can't think twice I go for it (go for it)
can't think twice I go for it (go for it)
can't leave this earth with nothing to show for it

I can show you the ropes I can even loan you the quotes
but if it ain't in you why even continue
to pose like your whole style is authentic
I smell a fraud the aroma is deep scented
I re-invented myself with the help of nobody else
yeah I did it solely for my health
not the rollie on the shelf or the 6 digits
the fame and fortune is highly ficticious
only exist to those with sick wishes
to achieve it they often act a bit vicious
and maliciously mislead the youth
I steer em on course cause my pen bleeds the truth
YOFAM the alternative to the street route
I use both hands whenever I reach out
that way you ain't gotta look hard to see em
and live by these two words (what) Carpe Diem

Ya see something you want then go for it (go for it)
don't think twice go for it (go for it)
don't think twice go for it (go for it)
don't leave this earth with nothing to show for it (nah)
I see something I want I go for it (go for it)
can't think twice I go for it (go for it)
can't think twice I go for it (go for it)
can't leave this earth with nothing to show for it

Ja maat, al die ellenlange teksten. Saai, cliché, passé.

Eigenlijk alles van Orchid qua tekst.

Bijvoorbeeld:

This is a letter to you:
"Hey friend, you don't know me,
but you think you do,
and I want you too.
I'm everybody's friend
and I'm personally connected with you.
This song's on the house
and this one's for you
I don't like the way you're treating me,
I want a fight. Settle it right.
I forgot your name but I'd be happy to
beat you to death with a pool cue."

das wel vree moeilijk, int punk genre, beste teksten zijn vooral natuurlijk bad religion en Propagandhi.

beste songtekst is nog moeilijker, deze van Rise Against is echt prachtig van tekst

Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated - Rise Against

Please don't ask me how
I ended up at my wits end and breaking down
pages torn from books we never read
because we're plugged into this grid
don't pull this plug right now or then we'd really have to live

when i die will they remember not what i did but what i haven't done?
it's not the end that i fear with each breath, it's life that scares me to death

when we build these dreams on sand
how they all slip through our hands
this might be our only chance

let's take this one day at a time
i'll hold your hand if you hold mine
the time that we kill keeps us alive

your words won't save me now
i'm at the edge feeling the sweat drip from my brow
get a grip on yourself is what they say
every hour every day
hands over my ears, i've been screaming all these years

when i die will they remember not what i did but what i haven't done?
it's not the end that i fear with each breath, it's life that scares me to death

when we build these dreams on sand
how they all slip through our hands
this might be our only chance

let's take this one day at a time
i'll hold your hand if you hold mine
the time that we kill keeps us alive

we came in search of answers
we left empty handed again
shots fired into the sky are now returning
where the fuck will you hide?

hiding from the laughter in the closet of our lives
but the door hinges are squeaking letting in thin shards of light
and now a hand's extending outward, quiet comfort they invite
do we dare take what they offer, do we step into the light?

when i die will they remember not what i did but what i haven't done?
it's not the end i fear with each breath, it's life that scares me to death

when we build these dreams on sand
how they all slip through our hands
this might be our only chance

let's take this one day at a time
i'll hold your hand if you hold mine
the time that we kill keeps us alive

favo song atm:
--Saxon-Denim and leather--

Where were you in '79 when the dam began to burst
Did you check us out down at the local show
Were you wearing denim, wearing leather
Did you run down to the front
Did you queue for your ticket through the ice and snow

Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free

Did you read the music paper from the back and to the front
Did you find out where to see your favorite band
Did you listen to the radio every Friday night
Did hang around your local record store

Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free

Do you dream of playing guitar or smashing up the drums
Maybe you can learn to play the bass
You can always be a singer like me and front the band
When on the stage we wait at your command

Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free

It was you - that set the spirit free
It was you - that put us here today
It was you - that filled the concert halls
It was you - that set the spirit free

Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free

Daan - Swedish Designer Drugs

een voorbeeldje van syntactische creativiteit

Pink Floyd - Wish you were here.

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
