Song for C o r n e l i s

regina osr · December 2018

Just can't get this out of my head these days, it came to me out of nowhere like it does once every year or so ever since I ever listened to it for the first time a few years ago.. love this song but always had a hard time listening to it and stopping listening to it..just a weird situation.. but this time it came with the realization that it is almost like it was written for Chris..even the name of it..as for so many other musicians that don't necessarily share similar stories.. anyway, amazing. It is really a shame so many haven't even heard of Madrugada at all outside Europe.. amazing band, stopped being a few years ago when one of its members passed away. This song was written by Sivert Hoyem lead singer, long before this happened. It was for a Swedish musician/singer whose music he grew up with I guess..

Ah the drink and the fun
The singer, the song
Sing almighty how long

Throwin' shapes in the sun
What strange men we become
Sing almighty how long

Then you waste in the pale afternoon
And it's not gonna stop sometime soon
But back at the hotel
You're not feeling too well
Sing almighty how long
Who can tell?

Really, what's it to you
If it's false or if it's true
Sing almighty how
What good does it do?

When your singing is through
And they ask on to you
Sing almighty how
Really, how do you do?

Then you shake at the tip of a pen
And you're not going through this again
Does it keep you alert?
Do you know where it hurts?
Sing almighty how long
What's the worth?

But you'll risk it again for a song
It sounds right, it cannot be wrong
Your blood and your senses are strong
And you gotta keep movin' along

Yeah, you're riskin' it again
But you're not doing it for them
No, you're almighty how long
Your own man

Sing it almighty how long
Your own song
