Jag har hittat en ny artist som jag gillar, Derek Webb, inte minst för hans sätt att inte kompromissa sin musik för att gå skivbolaget till mötes och hans sätt att marknadsföra hela skivan (skicka ut sina fans på en galen skattjakt för att samla ihop bitar och klipp från sången som skivbolaget inte lät honom ha med på skivan och sedan uppmana dem att lägga upp dem på en sida som man hittade till genom att klicka på osynliga bokstäver på hemsidor osv. Enligt många hade han sett för mycket LOST).
Här är en av låttexterna från albumet Stockholm Syndrome och eftersom albumet släpptes if örrgår finns inga texter ute på internet ännu, så jag ber om ursäkt för eventuella stavningsfel eller bara uppriktiga textmissar:

Derek Webb - Jena & Jimmy
Jena and Jimmy, they
met at a rally to
bring our boys back from the war.
Jimmy was dancin’, he was
dancin’ like crazy, showin’
no mercy to the dance floor.
Jena was mindin', she was
mindin' her business, she did
not want no company.
'Til Jimmy spotted her like a
lamb to the slaughter,
and he coaxed her over with a martini.
And Jena said:
O-o-o-o-...
She could feel it
hitting her blood stream.
Before she knew it she was
up on his chopping block,
and he was flagging down a taxi.
And Jimmy said:
If you gimme your love,
I’ll give you my love,
[I’ll] give you my love.
Gonna take one kiss to shut you up!
And that'll be enough!
If you gimme your love,
I’ll give you my love,
[I’ll] give you my love.
Gonna kiss your lips to shut you up!
She told him stories of
social injustices and
constitutional rights.
He smirked and turned his head
"Just lighten up," he said, "Baby,
we got all night."
Jena was beautiful
and spoke convincingly;
he listened just like a priest.
His best shot at stopping her was
if he co-opted her, so he
got two more rounds of drinks.
And Jena said:
O-o-o-o-...
Jimmy held her
like an enemy.
Then toasted global peace
and dovetailing interests
as he threw his shot back with a wink
And Jimmy said:
If you gimme your love,
I’ll give you my love,
[I’ll] give you my love.
Gonna take one kiss to shut you up!
And that’ll be enough!
If you gimme your love,
I’ll give you my love,
[I’ll] give you my love.

Enligt han som tipsade mig om albumet och artisten handlar den om Jena 6 och amerikan som de båda är är han säkert rätt...men jag känner ändå att den är aktuell i den politik som bedrivs i EU idag och hur politikerna försöker behandla invånarna. Vi måste se till att Jimmy inte får rätt, att det inte bara räcker med en kyss för att få tyst på de röster som finns runt om i Europa som kämpar för att slippa leva i ett övervakningssamhälle.

Hej, mitt namn är Doug. (Jag talar inte svenska, så jag har använt en översättare.) Jag hittade din hemsida när jag letade efter låttexterna i Stockholm Syndrome. Om du vill ändra låttexterna, jag har gjort några korrigeringar. Den 10 juli, du är den enda person på Internet som har skrivit dessa låttexterna. Tack!
