HÄRLIG ÄR JORDEN


HÄRLIG ÄR JORDEN LOVELY IS THE EARTH
Swedish lyrics by Cecilia Bååth-Holmberg
Härlig är jorden.
Härlig är Guds himmel.
Lovely is the earth, glorious is the heaven of God.
Skön är själarnas pilgrimsgång.
Beauteous is the pilgrimages of the souls. Genom de fagra riken på jorden
Through the fair realms on earth,
gå vi till paradis med sång.
we go singing to Paradise.
Tidevarv komma. Tidevarv försvinna.
Ages come and ages pass.
Släkten följa släktens gång.
Generations follow their forefathers.
Aldrig förstummas tonen från himlen
Never will the tune from heaven be silenced,
i själens glada pilgrimssång.
in the joyous pilgrim song of the soul.
Änglar dem sjöngo först för markens herdar.
Angels first sang them to the shepherds in the fields.
Skönt från själ till själ det ljöd:
From soul to soul, it sounded beautifully:
"Människa, gläd dig! Frälsarn är kommen,
"Humans, rejoice! The Saviour has come,
frid över jorden Herren bjöd."
the Lord bid piece on earth."


This is actually the ultimate scandinavian christmas song.
Roy A made a film in 91 w the same title

Stardust di Mario Bellini
The name is Stardust, the first revolutionary product Mario Bellini signs for Meritalia. This project is dealing with a new family of bright furniture – pillows, pouff, chaise longue, armchairs, sofas – realized without cast with “poor” materials. The extraordinary idea was to make use of “ravioli made of air” similar to those normally used for packages, as stuffing, and a metallic netting made of thin inox wire, in practice transparent, as covering-case. These new furniture can be even used as big and comfortable lamps on which people can seat.

Expressionism
is the tendency of an artist to distort reality for an emotional effect; it is a subjective art form

n The Birth of Tragedy Nietzsche presented his theory of the ancient dualism between two types of aesthetic experience, namely the Apollonian and the Dionysian; a dualism between the plastic "art of sculpture", of lyrical dream-inspiration, identity (the principium individuationis), order, regularity, and calm repose, and, on the other hand, the non-plastic "art of music", of intoxication, forgetfulness, chaos, and the ecstatic dissolution of identity in the collective. The analogy with the world of the Greek gods typifies the relationship between these extremes: two godsons, incompatible and yet inseparable. According to Nietzsche, both elements are present in any work of art. The basic characteristics of expressionism are Dionysian: bold colours, distorted forms-in-dissolution, two-dimensional, without perspective.

heavy emphasis is placed on communication through emotion.

builds on more complex psychic structures....Impressions and mental images that pass through mental peoples soul as through a filter which rids them of all substantial accretions to produce their clear essence

are assimilated and condense into more general forms, into types, which he transcribes through simple short-hand formulae and symbols."

Roy Andersson interview

Interview by Matt Bochenski

LWLies: How would you describe your style in your own words?
Andersson: I usually try to explain it… My philosophy is to create pictures that are very, very clean, purified and condensed, and easy to see. They are very clear also. Almost close to cartoons. And why? Yes. I think, I would say like Matisse, the French painter, I take away everything that’s not necessary for the picture.

LWLies: At the risk of stereotyping, that’s a very Swedish philosophy. Clean and pure lines, for instance, are the hallmarks of Swedish design. Is there something particularly Swedish about your work?
Andersson: No I don’t hope so because I want to be universal. For me, it’s very similar to all the other countries in Europe, especially the northern countries. Maybe Germany is the closest. You know, we have Swedish houses – not villas but other houses – and a lot of them are from an architectural style called ???. It was developed in Austria and Germany but we have a lot of that in Sweden, and in my pictures there is a lot of that also.

LWLies: Because You, The Living has a very specific sense of place – the blocks of flats and even the quality of the light, etc. A gloominess. Is there something in the character of the country or the people around you that influences your work?
Andersson: I want to have a so-called monochrome colour scape. Monochrome; not too strong colours and not too strong a contrast because that is irritating to me. There is more intensity, in my opinion, when you create a picture with not too much contrast concerning colours and even contrasts. I want light that has not much shadow because I want light where people can’t hide in – light without mercy.

LWLies: You sound like a gloomy guy, but with all the commercials work you’ve done you must have a sense of playfulness. How do you think your feature film work relates to your commercials in that sense?
Andersson: I work with the same patience and the same carefulness with commercials as with features so I think the commercials helped to develop this. I’m a very serious commercial maker. I don’t do that with the left hand, so to say.

LWLies: Why have you resisted the lure of the feature film?
Andersson: But you see my second feature… My first feature was a fabulous success, and my second was a fabulous flop.

LWLies: This is Giliap?
Andersson: Yes. And I also passed budget, so it was a lot of money – more than budget. I was a scapegoat for that and I was out in the cold for many years in Sweden, among the producers.

LWLies: So it was not so much that you didn’t want to make features as you weren’t able to?
Andersson: I couldn’t work, yeah, I couldn’t work. It was a very hard period, and the only people that called me were advertising people and I started to make commercials and it was a very big success. Other people called and these movies were also successes. But my period in commercials was much longer than I had thought.

LWLies: Do you hold grudges against the people who stopped you from making features? Does it make you angry?
Andersson: Nowadays I am not angry. Now I almost feel pity for them. But there was a period when I was very, very angry of course because I had a hard time economically also. I mean, I had two small children and no salary so it was a hard time, yes.

LWLies: What skills do you think you need to be a good commercials director?
Andersson: Seriousness and patience, and above all you should not try to fit what people are waiting for, or what they are expecting. You should be very genuine to yourself.

LWLies: But as a commercials director, aren’t you fulfilling the brief of another company, so don’t you have to do what they expect?
Andersson: Yeah but I’ve been in a very good situation because I’ve always worked where people have called me and asked for my work. The clients know what they will get. I’ve made hundreds of commercials – I think it’s something between three and four hundred – and only twice the clients have been not satisfied.

LWLies: What happens when a client isn’t satisfied?
Andersson: I always say if you are not happy or satisfied, you will get the money back or we will make a new one. That’s my philosophy.

LWLies: Do you think that the commercial is, in itself, an under appreciated art form?
Andersson: My commercials are short movies with a pack shot at the end. I make them as carefully and well as I can, so there’s no difference for me. Nowadays I don’t like the situation because people don’t work hard and good with commercials, it’s not well respected nowadays. They are so afraid of the client that they are slaves. They are slaves because they are afraid to lose money, so it’s more business than art.

LWLies: Do you think you’ve developed as much as a director making commercials as you would have done if you’d been making features?
Andersson: I must say, I am happy with my way. After my first feature, I was very, very actually sad and depressed because I saw the bottom… I couldn’t see how to go further so I waited a few years and then made Giliap in a completely different style, and after that I also changed styles and tried to find something new. That wouldn’t have been possible with only making features. It was by help of the commercials that I found my style eventually.

LWLies: If you were to start over again tomorrow, what would you do differently?
Andersson: No, I… I would say I’d like to have the same situation and the same developments.

LWLies: I wanted to ask you briefly about Ingmar Bergman. Were you affected by his death?
Andersson: Of course in my opinion he’s – it’s hard to say – but in my opinion he’s a little overrated. He made in the beginning of the ’60s I think there were four movies that are excellent, brilliant, good art and cinematography, but there are so many bad movies he made. And he was also very right wing politically. He was almost a fascist, he was a Nazi sympathiser, and when he grew up he was very coloured by fascistic values. He never left that himself, and it also coloured his person. He was not a nice person. He was a so-called inspector of the film school that I attended, and each term we were called and we had to go to his office and he gave some advice, or even some threats, and he said, ‘If you don’t stop making left wing movie…’ because a lot of the students were left wing at the time, Vietnam and so on… “if you continue with that you will never have the possibility to make features. I will influence the board to stop you.”

LWLies: So do you think Swedish cinema is still healthy without him?
Andersson: At the same time there are no others that can take over his status. Even if I don’t like him and he’s overrated, in spite of that he’s actually still on the top in Swedish movies.

LWLies: Will you now try and carry on making features?
Andersson: Yeah, yeah. I’m already planning a new one. I see the two last movies as drafts for a third one, you know? A third enormous, deep and fantastic, humourous and tragic, philosophical, Dostoyevsky film.

LWLies: Your setting expectations very high.
Andersson: Yes. Okay, that’s good.

props

this is not too bad

I was thinking that the skull in Simona maybe was a real dog skull, since there are several references to dogs, he is bitten by a dog and delerious. Instead of the shakespearian fake human skull. They look so silly all the ones i have seen, unless we get a real one, witch probably ios expensive
You can get real domestic dog skulls for 25 - 60 dollars (hey, its cheeper than a livin one, and u dont have too feed it)

This page actually have real human bones w tissue for police dog training, ai. We dont want that. Im scared of ghosts. Dogghosts are fine.

Snook lyrics

Jag var, är och kommer alltid att vara.
Vill slåss, bör fly är ambivalent.
Jag var, är och kommer alltid att vara.
Släng upp en hand i sanningens tjänst.
Jag var, är och kommer alltid att vara.
De är för sent att gråta så
Jag var, är och kommer alltid att bara vara
I am, was and will always just be
I want to fight, should run away, am embivilent
I am, was and will always just be
Toss up a hand in the service of truth
I am, was and will always just be
It is too late to cry so
I am, was and will always just be

(nu kör vi)
(lets go)
Vi är här, ärligt talat hörru
Var är din ammunition
Vi är här, ärligt talat hörru
Jag var, är och kommer alltid va samma person.
Vi är här, ärligt talat hörru
Var är din ammunition
Vi är här, ärligt talat hörru
Jag var, är och kommer alltid
We are here, honestly spoken, do you hear
Were is your ammunition
We are here, honestly spoken, do you hear
I was, am and will always be the same person
We are here, honestly spoken, do you hear
Were is your ammunition
We are here, honestly spoken, do you hear

var en vandrande tunna med krut.
Sven Svensson men är igenkänd som en som flummade ut.
Kamouflerad med kapper så vandrar jag genom natten lång
Mycket hellre som ett fulk än en kameleont
Det är bara som jag freestylar fram
Du blir behandlad typ som tjockisen i vivala bam
Sorry men jag kryssar förbi
För om du lever som du lär så lär du säkert ha dyslexi.
Was allways a walking jar of explosives
..... (S Svenson - the name of the regular swede, like the living John Do) but is recognised as flowing out
Cammuflaged with capes i walk through the night
Rather as a bum than a camelion
Its just me frystyling foreward
Gets treated like the fatso in Viva la bam
Sorry, but im crosspassing
Cause if you are living as you are learning you must be dysletic
(to be contibued)

Turen är lånad, det är tur att turen är våran
Och nej, jag vägrar att ljuga för att passa in.
Jag bor på söder, men skulle nog känna samma stolthet
om jag åkte röda linjen fast åt andra hållet.
Mina damer och herrar det här är ett tack till många av er för att
Ni vägrar trängas i nån annans fack.
Var är ditt vapen och var är din ammunition.
Jag var, är och kommer alltid vara samma person

Vi är här, ärligt talat hörru
Var är din ammunition
Vi är här, ärligt talat hörru
Jag var, är och kommer alltid va samma person.
Vi är här, ärligt talat hörru
Var är din ammunition
Vi är här, ärligt talat hörru
Jag var, är och kommer alltid vara samma person

Det som är ut krut rök, Snook svett och tårar

Två år i mörkret och vi fortsätter spåra
Har du en mick är det bäst att du släpper den
Daniel ger ett vinnande leende som en president
Slåss eller battla, migus börja kallsvettas
Jag har mer publik än svennar när jag sound checkar
Fått stryk fått skit, slåss ni, slåss vi
Vilken del av sanningen förstår du inte kompis
Alla vill till himmelen men ingen vill dö
Ingen bratt, ingen bög och jag rappar Lidingö
Är från linje tretton, är från hägerstensåsen
Den största inom hiphopen sedan värd och the emotion
Det är inte förort men har hört ni brukar snacka om den
När ni ser mej på klubben går ni åt andra hållet
Sa det på första platan, mana mit ord
Fråga hela Sverige, ingen battlar mot Snook

Jag var, är och kommer alltid att vara.
Vill slåss, bör fly är ambivalent.
Jag var, är och kommer alltid att vara.
Släng upp en hand i sanningens tjänst.
Jag var, är och kommer alltid att vara.
De är för sent att gråta så
Jag var, är och kommer alltid att bara vara

för

Vi är här, ärligt talat hörru
Var är din ammunition
Vi är här, ärligt talat hörru
Jag var, är och kommer alltid va samma person.
Vi är här, ärligt talat hörru
Var är din ammunition
Vi är här, ärligt talat hörru
Jag var, är och kommer alltid vara samma person

Sjung här med oss nu, sjung här med oss nu.

The Knife - We share our mothers health
We came down from the north
Blue hands and a torch
Red wine and food for free
A possibility
We share our mothers' health
It is what we've been dealt
What's in it for me?
Fine
Then I'll agree

Trees there will be
Apples, fruits maybe
You know what I fear
The end is always near
x2

Say you like it
Say you need it
When you don't
Looking better
Shining brighter
Than you do
x2

(Repeat the 'Say you like it' sequence with the 'Trees there will be' sequence until end...)


The Knife (check out the images, not a lot, but kinda inspiring)
The Knife - Pass this on("Live" Sen Kväll Med Luuk)


PASS THIS ON

I'm in love with your brother
What's his name?
I thought I'd come by
To see him again
When you two danced
Oh what a dance
When you two laughed
Oh what a laugh
Has he mentioned my age love?
Or is he more into young girls with dyed black hair?
I'm in love with your brother
I thought I'd come by

I'm in love with your brother
Yes I am
But maybe I shouldn't ask for his name
And you danced
Oh what a dance
And you laughed
Oh what a laugh
Does he know what I do?
And you'll pass this on, wont you?
And if I ask him once what would he say?
Is he willing?
Can he play?

If I ask him once what would he say?
Is he willing?
Can he play?

Does he know what I do?
And you'll pass this on, wont you?
And if I ask him once what would he say?
Is he willing?
Can he play?

Another song, with a rather facinating video (performer) This is live from a tv show. You can see the original video on youtube. All dancing Strindbergs? They almost look like some kind of underwater zombies. And then this gorgeous giant manikin Barbie(mani-Ken) singing..
The Knife - Live - You Make Me Like Charity


Third song. To me very in the Walker

You make me feel like charity

You try to feel but you can't wake up
You try to touch but you can't wake up
You're holding eyes and you don't wake up
Increase the size and you don't wake up
I do it backwards but I don't wake up
Try to reverse but I don't wake up
I sit astride but I still don't wake up

More than a second
When reading the newspaper
I felt the war
I felt her exposed position
I saw myself in the picture
And I

I took a cab there to hold her
I took a plane there to feel what she felt
You make me like charity
Instead of paying enough taxes

I took a cab there to hold her
I took a plane there to feel what she felt
You make me like charity
Instead of paying enough taxes

I took a cab there to hold her
I took a plane there to feel what she felt
You make me like charity
Instead of paying enough taxes

I took a cab there to hold her
I took a plane there to feel what she felt
You make me like charity
Instead of paying enough taxes

I took a cab there to hold her
I took a plane there to feel what she felt
You make me like charity
Instead of paying enough taxes

I took a cab there to hold her
I took a plane there to feel what she felt
You make me like charity
Instead of paying enough taxes

I took a cab there to hold her
I took a plane there to feel what she felt
You make me like charity
Instead of paying enough taxes

I took a cab there to hold her
I took a plane there to feel what she felt
You make me like charity
Instead of paying enough taxes

They look like puppets. Or are they puppets?

Petter Logiskt



Artist : Petter
Title : Logiskt (ft. Säkert!)

Chorus:
Det är så logiskt, alla fattar utom du
du har inte en aning, du har inte en aning, aning
det är så logiskt, alla fattar utom du
du har inte en aning, att jag tänker på dig precis just nu
(Its so logical, everyone gets it but you
you have no idea, you have no idea, no idea
Its so logical, everyone gets it but you
that im thinking about you right now)
Vers 1.
Hej jag heter petter är 33 nånting, vet knappt ut eller in, jag fattar ingenting
jag e fylld av begär, varje dag det tär
helt förblindad av mig själv och min egen karriär
jag dricker för mycket, men det förnekar jag
om du frågar mig om sanningen så tvekar jag
saknar röka gräs, ba en liten gås
(Hello, my name is Petter am 33 something, hardly know out or in, dont understand anything
Im filled with lust, every day it takes
Am totally blinded by myself and my own career
Im drinking too much, but that Im denying
If you ask me for the trouth Im doubting
missing smoking pot, just a little puff)
jag hade nog torskat på droger om jag inte fått en psykos
nog torskat på det mesta om jag inte hållt mig i skinnet
för det kostar o festa när du trollar med sinnet
brukar skylla på trycket men jag krökar för mycket
en vinare varje kväll, det är så långt ifrån nykter
försöker mörka mitt sätt men det blir ofta fel
du kanske känner igen mitt problem
det är då jag hatar mig sjäv
v, för jag e patetisk och vaknar upp i hell och ba känner mig så dekis
Id probably got hooked on drugs if I didnt get a psychose
Probably gotten hooked on mostly everything if I didnt keep focused
Cause it costs to party when you are messing with our soul
Usally blame it on the pressure, but I ....(?crock??) too much
A vino every night, am so far away from sober
Try to darken my way but it gets so wrong
Maybe you recognise my problem?
Its that I hate myself
Because i wake up in hell, and just feel so (?..)
Chorus:
Det är så logiskt, alla fattar utom du
du har inte en aning, du har inte en aning, aning
det är så logiskt, alla fattar utom du
du har inte en aning, att jag tänker på dig precis just nu

Vers 2.
Hej jag heter petter jag är egocentrisk
totalförändrad men på skalet identisk
kan dö för min fru men det är inte sanningen nu
jag kommer springa in i väggen o ba ramla itu
innan jag fattar va som hänt, vilka broar jag bränt
går 12-stegs programmet, dom o alla ja kännt
brukar va svartsjuk som få, men de va värre då
när du lämna mig ibland blev hela världen grå
jag vet knappt va som e bra med mig
Hey, Im Petter I am egosentric
Totally changed but on the surface identical
Can die for my misses, but its not the trouth now
Im gonna run straight into the wall and fall apart
I dont understand what happened, witch bridges I burned
Walk a 12 step program, them and everybody i know
Jealous like few, but it was worse then
When you left me the world turned gray
I hardly know whats good about me
varför du kämpar på o ba vill va med mig
för jag träffar min familj för lite o när jag ser dom så jobbar jag konstant o ägnar knappast tid med dom
jag tänker mest på pengar o mina framsteg
men sanningen bakom ridån är nåt jag ibland ser. *glansser (fel)*
det är då jag hatar mig själv, för jag e patetisk
de är som o leva i hell, fan vad jag e dekis
Why you keep fighting and want to be with me
Cause i see my family too little, and when i do i work and dont have time for them
I basically think about money and sucess
But trouth rides behing when I sometimes see
Thats when I hate myself, cause Im pathetic
Its like living in hell, damn how I am crap

Chorus:
Det är så logiskt, alla fattar utom du
du har inte en aning, du har inte en aning, aning
det är så logiskt, alla fattar utom du
du har inte en aning, att jag tänker på dig precis just nu

Vers 3.
Hej jag heter petter, mitt liv är som ditt
vet inte om du sett det, men de liknar mitt shit
för jag ser allt svart på vitt, alltid missnöjd med nåt
grubblar över saker som jag nog aldrig förstått
deprimerad mellanåt, de jag bär på e svårt
jag tycker synd om mig själv när jag jobbar för hårt
lovar o inte håller det, som driver mig finns där
jag gillar dom som delar mitt synsätt o flyger i min sfärd
kanske tappat det helt, spelat för många spel
målat in mig i ett hörn, fått en törn
det är då jag hatar mig själv, då kommer tåren
för jag har ingen jävla aning vafan jag håller på med
Hi, Im petter, my life is like yours
Dont know if you see that but it looks like my crap
Cause I see everything black on white, always unsatisfied w something
Speculating over things Ill never get (understand)
Depressed inbetween, what im carrying is hard
Feel sorry for myself when i work too hard
promises but dont keep, what drives me is there
I like the ones who share my views and flies in my psfere
Maybe lost it totally, played to many games
Painted myself into a corner, gotten a twist
thats when I hate myself, then the tears come
Cause i have no fuckings idea what Im doing

Chorus:
Det är så logiskt, alla fattar utom du
du har inte en aning, du har inte en aning, aning
det är så logiskt, alla fattar utom du
du har inte en aning, att jag tänker på dig precis just nu (x3)

I forgot Im from Barcelona on the CD. Ai, the video.. Sometimes it feels like thing just connect too well. Not sure if i like that feeling.. Havnt seen it before just now. Hmm
This video has a lot of great images. Like the poor 70ies strindberg or whatever-person from Barcelona trying to sleep while people are partying on top of him. Red shoes & shirt look pretty great in anemic green space...


Vikingarna



Oki. Im not sure of this is something specifically scandinavian, but there is the phenomen of "Dansband". We have walked upon the diamonbrick road into to glorious land of Kitch now, one of my favorite traveldestination indeed, but maybe a dangerous, sparceling distraction. Whatever, what we can take from this that does that I have to mention it anyway is the fabolous costuming of the dansbands. . See what I see?
