Ik heb geen idee met welke toon of welk akkoord het nummer begint. Maar zodra hij de eerste snaar raakt, gebeurt er vanalles. De muziek en de tekst horen net zo bij elkaar als de dromerige zang bij dat wat niet gezegd wordt. En het maakt dat het geheel meer is dan je bedenken kunt.
Met mijn ogen dicht luister ik vaak. Niet te vaak, want te vaak is killing.
En toch kan ik me niet voorstellen dat dit ooit vervelen gaat.
Eigen verantwoordelijkheid.
Zeggen, vinden, doen, met open ogen.
Vanavond zal ik genieten.
Dave Matthews – Seek up
Fall back again, fall back again,
Fall back again, fall back again
Oh, life it seems a struggle between
What we see and what we do
I’m not going to change my ways
Just to please you, or appease you
Look at this a crowd, five billion proud
Willing to punch it out
Right, wrong, weak, strong
Ashes to ashes, all fall down
Look around about this roundabout
This merry-go-round and round
If at all God’s gaze upon us falls
It’s with a mischievous grin, look at him
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that
Our emotions can be kept at bay
Forget about being guilty,
We are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
Look at me in my fancy car
And my bank account
Oh, how I wish I could take it all down
Into my grave, God knows I’d save and save
Take a look again, take a look again,
Take a look again at things you have collected
In the end it all ties up so tall
To one big nothing, one big nothing at all
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be
Swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion
And your cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion,
Sometimes your well is dry
You’re looking for a monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you,
The devil’s not going ha, ha.. ha ha
Say, say
Late at night with TV’s hungry child
His belly swells
Oh, for a price of a coke or a smoke
I could keep alive those hungry eyes
Take a look again, take a look again
Every day things change, but basically they stay the same
Forget about the reasons and
The treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be
Kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
You seek up an emotion
And your cup is overflowing
You seek up an emotion,
Sometimes your well is dry
You seek up a big monster
For him to fight your wars for you
But when he finds his way to you,
The devil’s not going ha, ha.. ha ha
Fall back again, fall back again
Fall back again, fall back again
