Vill ni har fler kärleksbilder är Le Love Image en av de charmigaste bloggarna just idag...
Alla hjärtans dag. Jag försöker leta reda på min favoritlåt om kärlek. Är det tonårstrånande som i Hello Saferides Highschool Stalker? En ärlig kärleksförklaring som Billie the Visions Summercat? Älska-dig-för-evigt så som i I Will Follow You Into the Dark med Ben Gibbards Death Cab For Cutie? Eller är det egentligen finast med den kärlek som Håkan Hellström beskriver, så som i Nu Kan Du Få Mig Så Lätt. Jag menar, det känner vi ju alla igen oss i! Fast å andra sidan kanske vardagsrealism som Känsloklubben med Doktor Kosmos berör mest. Och Chosen One med Concretes? Viljan att visa hela världen sin älskade! Är det det som är finast?
Vet ni, jag skulle nog säga Julie med Jens Lekman. Av många orsaker, som denna och denna och detta. Men framför allt av den enkla anledningen att texten är något av den vackraste kärleksförklaringen jag någonsin skådat:
Oh Julie, meet me by the vending machine
Oh Julie, I'm gonna buy you a wedding ring
Eating french fries by the dock of the bay
lots of ketchup and mayonnaise
You said this town's too big for our hearts
you can't tell where it ends or starts
Oh Julie, the future could be so bright
Oh Julie, the ticket inspector's out of sight
What will you do when you graduate
if you stay here you'll suffocate
And all your friends are moving to London
while the cherry trees are still in blossom
Oh Julie
Oh hold me, hold me trough the sweet hereafter
Being with you can be very fatal
somehow we forget to pray for the angels
then the angels make sure that our hearts are devoured
make us jump from the Eiffel Tower
Oh Julie, you know that I ain't for hire
but you can have me, you can trade me for your cigarette lighter
Take a step from the humdrum
tearing down the Colluseum
They said we'd hit the bottom
but the cherry trees are still in blossom
Julie, you know that I ain't for hire
but you can have me, you can trade me for your cigarette lighter
Oh Julie
Oh Julie, I'm gonna buy you a wedding ring
Eating french fries by the dock of the bay
lots of ketchup and mayonnaise
You said this town's too big for our hearts
you can't tell where it ends or starts
Oh Julie, the future could be so bright
Oh Julie, the ticket inspector's out of sight
What will you do when you graduate
if you stay here you'll suffocate
And all your friends are moving to London
while the cherry trees are still in blossom
Oh Julie
Oh hold me, hold me trough the sweet hereafter
Being with you can be very fatal
somehow we forget to pray for the angels
then the angels make sure that our hearts are devoured
make us jump from the Eiffel Tower
Oh Julie, you know that I ain't for hire
but you can have me, you can trade me for your cigarette lighter
Take a step from the humdrum
tearing down the Colluseum
They said we'd hit the bottom
but the cherry trees are still in blossom
Julie, you know that I ain't for hire
but you can have me, you can trade me for your cigarette lighter
Oh Julie
