Musiktexter – att tänka berättelser i ett mindre format

Jag gillar det lilla formatet. Att berätta en historia på mycket begränsat område, som till exempel poesi och musiktexter ofta innebär. Att tvingas vaska essensen ur det man verkligen vill säga. Det är förmodligen det som också gör mig till en bra copywriter. Här får du möjlighet att lyssna till en historia i ett lite mindre format, när Tess sjunger ”My Café”.

My Café

(I’m gonna tell you about my café)

 

I’m going to tell you about a place

Where no one really knows me

And I don’t need to hide my face

A place where time stands still

And I get hold of new breath

 

In here you find old antique tables

And a great floor made of stone

Made by hand a long time ago

Like a chess in white and russet

Or a big jigsaw puzzle

 

This is not just a café, it’s much more like a home

With the very personal touch of Sue and Jerome

 

I just sit here with my cup of coffee

And sometimes a small cigar

I fantasize about the others

I know where they all do come from

And I know where they all will go

 

This is not just a café, it’s much more like a home

With the very personal touch of Sue and Jerome

 

I won’t be more precise about where you can find me

Cause here I get my new strength and here I make my stories

 

This is not just a café, it’s much more like a home

With the very personal touch of Sue and Jerome
