großartiger song, großartige band: mistaken for strangers von the national. track zwei ihres wundervollen albums boxer. ich höre ihn unentwegt. zum reinhören ohne bewegtbild bietet sich der player in der bandpräsenz bei myspace an.
die lyrics gefallen mir so gut, dass ich sie hier poste. etwas zum nachdenken, sie erschließen sich nicht unmittelbar, wie auch die musik dazu. aber wenn der groschen gefallen ist, möchte man einem höheren wesen für die begegnung mit diesem song danken!
mistaken for strangers
You have to do it running but you do everything that they ask you to
cause you don’t mind seeing yourself in a picture
as long as you look faraway, as long as you look removed
showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends
when you pass them at night under the silvery, silvery citibank lights
arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under
oh you wouldn’t want an angel watching over
surprise, surprise they wouldn’t wannna watch
another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults
Make up something to believe in your heart of hearts
so you have something to wear on your sleeve of sleeves
so you swear you just saw a feathery woman
carry a blindfolded man through the trees
showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
showered and blue-blazered, fill yourself with quarters
You get mistaken for strangers by your own friends…

I am slaved for about ten years. Your concerns are the last things I would like to have think of, but I need you to read my website and help me restoring my human status, lost by end of 2001 when I denounced crime in AU to the right authorities in the right time. I am attacked, with worst crimes ever, by the own authorities for defence of legality and rights in the world since back then. With me, quite a few people. Hundreds of thousands are dead now because of their abuse of power, megalomania, and thought that they ‘are God’, believe it or not. We all need your help, past and current victims. Giving me justice, getting this all in the press the right way is your best protection, so that you do not end up slaved or mutilated or others by these maniacs. Please rush to help. Special attention to the page on ‘how to help’ of mine. Rush. Spreading is also help, just obviously not enough help.
