Som av en slump blev jag precis påmind om hur längesen det var jag lyssnade på Live. Bandet live. Ed Kowalczyk. En av mina absoluta favoriter bland sångröster. För över sex år sedan såg vi dem live (förvirrande?) i Stockholm. Och jag minns fortfarande hur han presenterade en låt. ”Now I’m gonna make my voice very very low. ’Cause it’s time to play a song by Johnny Cash”. Varpå de spelade sin fenomenala cover på ”Walk The Line”, som faktiskt blev min introduktion till Johnny Cashs musik. Men idag är det en av Lives egna låtar som hamnar i fokus.

Spotify: Live – Dance With You (alt: Live – Dance With You – Live At The Paradiso)

Tack till dig som av en slump påminde mig, om du läser det här så vet du vem du är. Sen vill jag skicka en hälsning till dig som jag alltid kommer förknippa med den här låten, du vet också vem du är och jag väntar på ditt gästinlägg 🙂

”sittin’ on the beach
the island king of love
deep in fijian seas
deep in some blissful dream
where the goddess finally sleeps
in the lap of her lover
subdued in all her rage
and I am aglow with the taste
of the demons driven out
and happily replaced 
with the presence of real love
the only one who saves

I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face

the stillness in your eyes
convinces me that I 
I don’t know a thing 
and I been around the world and I’ve
tasted all the wines
a half a billion times
came sickened to your shores 
you show me what this life is for

I wanna dance with you
I see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
I see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face

in this altered state
full of so much pain and rage
you know we got to find a way to let it go

sittin’ on the beach
the island king of love
deep in fijian seas
deep in the heart of it all
where the goddess finally sleeps
after eons of war and lifetimes
she smilin’ and free, nothin’ left
but a cracking voice and a song, oh lord

I wanna dance with you
i see a world where people live and die with grace
the karmic ocean dried up and leave no trace
I wanna dance with you
i see a sky full of the stars that change our minds
and lead us back to a world we would not face
we would not face
we would not face
we would not face 
we would not face 
we would not face”
