Day 289 - A Danish Electro Trio 

WhoMadeWho - Keep Me In My Plane

Watch a movie I’ve seen five times before
Fall asleep with my head 
on the emergency door

Food tastes good at 50,000 feet… 
Red wine and cognac 
make me feel complete

make me feel safe ( x 2 )
keep me in my place

There’s snow and ice on Greenland below
One more place 
I would like to go

make me feel safe ( x 2 )
keep me in my place

Watch a movie I’ve seen five times before
Fall asleep with my head 
on the emergency door

make me feel safe ( x 2 )
keep me in my place

Day 288 - A Cute Norwegian Singer 

Sondre Lerche - Everyone’s Rooting for You

Don’t be ridiculous sweet darlin
It’s so unlike you to be blue
You had ‘em the moment you walked in
Everyone’s rooting just for you
And every smile and every single grin 
Conquers and captures their hearts and minds
You can’t not win 
Casting your spell, 
So arresting, effortlessly flabbergasting 
So far from what your suggesting 
Girl that gaze is everlasting
So don’t be a stranger little darling
Until forever we will root for you


So don’t be ridiculous sweet darlin
Its so unlike you to be blue
You had ‘em the moment you walked in
Everyone’s rooting just for you
And every smile and every single grin 
Conquers and captures their hearts and minds
You can’t not win 
Casting your spell, 
So arresting, effortlessly flabbergasting 
So far from what you’re suggesting 
Girl that gaze is everlasting
So don’t be a stranger little darling
Until forever we will root 
You won’t ever get the boot
For forever we will root for you!

Day 287 - A Danish Pop/Rocker

Tim Christensen - No Easy Key

You believe in every word they say
You believe that if they come their way
It’s gonna turn you on
You couldn’t be more wrong

You believe in everything they do
You believe that they are telling the truth
And they have got it made
That’s such a big mistake

Everything’s alright with you
There’s one thing you can’t do
And I believe that it’s what I want
Everything’s right one the spot
There’s one thing you ain’t got
And I believe that it’s what I need from you

Everybody wants to sing this song
Everybody wants to hum along
But it’s no easy key
It’s no easy key

Everybody want to join the game
Everybody wants a piece of the fame
And take the easy way in
But there’s no easy way out

Day 286 - A Danish Pop Chick

Sys Bjerre - Tættere på stjernerne

Lov mig at du tager mig med
Når du en dag skal af sted
For sådan nogen som jeg
Kan ikke trække vejret her
Kun i de højere luftlag
Kan vi eksistere
Men nogen har stækket mine vinger mens jeg sov
For her må man ikke flyve hvis man ikke har fået lov

Så bare lad mig ride på ryggen af din kat
For jeg må tættere på stjernerne
Det her land er alt for fladt
Så bare lad mig ride på ryggen af din kat
For jeg må tættere på stjernerne
Det her land er alt for fladt

Og jeg ved der nok er nogen
Som vil græde hvis jeg går
Men jeg tror de vil ku’ forstå det
Om et par tusind år
Og jeg ved det ikke er fair at jeg kun tænker på mig selv
Men hvis jeg bliver her meget længere slår det mig simpelthen ihjel

Så bare lad mig sidde under din høje sorte hat
For jeg må tættere på stjernerne
Det her land er alt for fladt
Så bare lad mig sidde under din høje sorte hat
For jeg må tættere på stjernerne
Det her land er alt for fladt

For fladt til at jeg kan se det store perspektiv
Mit sind er alt for kuperet
Jeg selv er for fjeret og naiv

Så vil du ikke nok tage mig med dig når du går
Så vil du ikke nok tage mig med dig når du går
Så vil du ikke nok tage mig med dig når du går, når du går

Day 285 - An American Ska/Punk Band

No Doubt - Hella Good

The waves keep on crashing on me for some reason
But your love keeps on coming like a thunderbolt
Come here a little closer
‘Cause I wanna see you, baby, real close up
(Get over here) 
(Get over here)

You got me feeling hella good 
So let’s just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should 
So I’m gonna keep on dancing keep on dancing

A performance deserving of standing ovations
And who would have thought it’d be the two of us
So don’t wake me if I’m dreaming
‘Cause I’m in the mood come on and give it up

You’ve got me feeling hella good 
So let’s just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should 
So I’m gonna keep on dancing keep on dancing

You’ve got me feeling hella good 
So let’s just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should 
So I’m gonna keep on dancing keep on dancing

Ooh yeah yeah

You’ve got me feeling hella good 
So let’s just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should 
So I’m gonna keep on dancing keep on dancing


You’ve got me feeling hella good 
So let’s just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should 
So I’m gonna keep on dancing keep on dancing

Keep on dancing
Keep on dancing 

Day 284 - An American Pop Queen

Madonna - Hollywood

Everybody comes to Hollywood
They wanna make it in the neighborhood
They like the smell of it in Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good

[Chorus:]
Shine your light now
This time it’s gotta be good
You get it right now (yeah)
‘Cause you’re in Hollywood

There’s something in the air in Hollywood
The sun is shining like you knew it would
You’re ridin’ in your car in Hollywood
You got the top down and it feels so good

I lost my memory in Hollywood
I’ve had a million visions, bad and good
There’s something in the air in Hollywood
I tried to leave it but I never could

[Chorus]

There’s something in the air in Hollywood
I’ve lost my reputation, bad and good
You’re ridin’ in your car in Hollywood
You got the top down and it feels so good

Music stations always play the same songs
I’m bored with the concept of right and wrong

Everybody comes to Hollywood
They wanna make it in the neighborhood
They like the smell of it in Hollywood
How could it hurt you when it looks so good

[Chorus]

‘Cause you’re in Hollywood
‘Cause you’re in Hollywood
In Hollywood [repeat three times]

Check it out, this bird has flown

[Chorus]

‘Cause you’re in Hollywood
‘Cause you’re in Hollywood
In Hollywood [repeat three times]

Push the button
Don’t push the button
Trip the station
Change the channel
[Repeat x4]

Acid House Kings - Do What You Gonna Do

I’ve been heading home
I’ve been going wrong
It’s been this way for so long

Let me hear you say it
(I’ve been heading home)

You keep me hanging on
I won’t ever be gone
We know that something is wrong

Let me hear you say it

Day 281 - An Icelandic Duo

Lady & Bird - Walk Real Slow 

I’m wasting the hours floating in my bed 
And placing sunflowers over my head 
You’re facing the doorway waiting for a sign 
To stop me in some way from crossing the line 

And if you walk real slow 
Hereby I fall 
And if you walk real slow 
Hereby I’ll call your name 

You’re wasting the hours waiting in your bed 
And searching for flowers over my head 
I’m facing the doorway waiting for a sign 
To stop us in some way from crossing the line 

And if you walk real slow 
Hereby I fall 
And if you walk real slow 
Hereby I’ll call your name (x4)

Mikael Simpson - Kæmpe-Kæreste-Sorger

en pige er ok udenpå

har alt for meget at svare på

barndomsminder med megen kant

stort stort hus op i nordsjælland

forbruger

ikke borger

kæmpe-kæreste-sorger

barndomsminder med megen kant

stort stort hus op i nordsjælland

se ting ske

gå på café

sidde og glo indtil solen går ned

kig dig omkring

der er ingeting

kæmpe-kæreste-sorger

kig dig omkring

der er ingenting

det ved du også godt når du går hjem

du skal hjem og se tv

Day 278 - A Cozy American Singer-Songwriter

Josh Ritter - Girl in the War

Peter said to Paul you know all those words we wrote Are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go But now talking to God is Laurel begging Hardy for a gun I got a girl in the war man I wonder what it is we done

Paul said to Peter you got to rock yourself a little harder Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire But I got a girl in the war Paul the only thing I know to do Is turn up the music and pray that she makes it through

Because the keys to the Kingdom got lost inside the Kingdom And the angels fly around in there but we can¹t see them I got a girl in the war Paul I know that they can here me yell If they can¹t find a way to help her they can go to Hell If they can¹t find a way to help her they can go to Hell

Paul said to Peter you got to rock yourself a little harder Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire But I got a girl in the war Paul her eyes are like champagne They sparkle bubble over and in the morning all you got is rain They sparkle bubble over and in the morning all you got is rain They sparkle bubble over and in the morning all you got is rain

Day 277 - A Red-headed American Singer-Songwriter

Neko Case - Star Witness

My true love drowned in a dirty old pan
Of oil that did run from the block
Of a falcon sedan 1969
The paper said ‘75
There were no survivors
None found alive

Trees break the sidewalk
And the sidewalk skins my knees
There’s glass in my thermos
And blood on my jeans
Nickels and dimes of the fourth of july
Roll off in a crooked line
To the chain-link lots where the red tails dive
Oh how I forgot what it’s like

Hey when she sings, when she sings when she sings like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey when she moves, when she moves when she moves like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey there there’s such deadly wolves ‘round town tonight
Round the town tonight
Hey there there’s such deadly wolves ‘round town tonight
Round the town tonight

Hey pretty baby get high with me,
We can go to my sisters if we say we’ll watch the baby”
The look on your face yanks my neck on the chain
And I would do anything
To see you again

So I’ve fallen behind…

Hey when she sings, when she sings when she sings like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey when she moves, when she moves when she moves like she runs
Moves like she runs
Hey there there’s such deadly wolves ‘round town tonight
Round the town tonight
Hey there there’s such deadly wolves ‘round town tonight
Round the town tonight

Go on, go on scream and cry
You’re miles from where anyone will find you
This is nothing new, no television crew
They don’t even put on the sirens
My nightgown sweeps the pavement
Please don’t let him die

Oh, how I forgot…
