keep your worries

music can sometimes be very much like a sense for me. or at least it can act like one. and connect with others. it’s more than just hearing, or a sound. it’s like a smell that pulls me back into a situation, a taste that brings back a memory, or a sight that recreates a feeling. sometimes a song, a rhythm, a beat, part of a melody, or simply just a chord can affect my whole body just like the caress, or slap in the face, of someone’s hand.

this song was introduced to me by someone who ended up hurting me more than most people are capable of. and, it was also buried with the rest of that someone. for over one and a half years it stayed buried. with me far away from it. until quite recently. when it was time. time to take it back. not back to what it was, but back to me. untainted. and awesome.

schlager - the conclusion

let's revise:

step one: a schlager needs a catchy refrain.
step two: all good schlagers have a bridge, followed by a key change towards the end.
step three: a schlager performer should have time characteristic and awesome clothes, and definitely do some kind of cheesy dance moves.

i give you the swedish contribution of 2008. and, i rest my case.
