track 4: the great depression


lyrics:
This is the place where my line is drawn
but still it adds up to one more mile
We have no choice but to break or sustain

Göteborg, det regnar
but I know the sun won't make it right
you can't make it right
and I sure can't make it right

Give me a sign, I'd take anything right now
give me a sign

trackstory:
In 2006 the world entered The Great Depression. It started because of the first world war (see the song "Rain, heart, scars"), and no Marshall plans in the world could save us.

I wrote this after playing pool with a semi-friend. He ended up coming on to two young fans of his who had travelled from their small town to Gothenburg just to see him. He even did that classic pose when you stand behind the girl pretending you're showing her how to play but really just touching and feeling as much as you possibly can. I said I had work to do, got soaked on the way home and then I just sat for the rest of the evening – soak, disgusted and depressed. Fucking men.

next week:
track 5 - november
