Ett inlägg med snarlik titel har redan skrivits. Jag gjorde nämligen en spellista på Spotify med låttiteln som namn. Men låten förtjänar att nämnas igen. Den säger så mycket. Utan att berätta allt. Som så många vackra låtar gör. Den här gången om att vara och behöva vara ensam, men samtidigt behöva närhet och sällskap mer än någonsin. Vidrig känsla. Fin låt.
Hello Saferide – Loneliness is better when you’re not alone (Spotify)
”What would you say if I asked of you
– out of loneliness, out of loneliness
What would you say if I asked of you
– out of loneliness, out of loneliness
Could I be with you
Can I be with you
It’s warm inside the night club
Your face is lit up by a disco light
I don’t want to go home alone, not tonight
I have a picture of a man who used to sit in that chair
I will go anywhere
Just as long as I’m with someone
You will do, just take me home for tea
If I told you my stories and sang you my songs
Would you laugh at me
Would you pity me
What would you say if I asked of you
Not out of accident, out of loneliness
Would you shelter me
Will you shelter me
I will be gone when you wake up
No awkward breakfasts, I swear
And don’t you look for me, because I could be anywhere
In someone else’s house
In someone else’s arms
With someone else to warm the pain away
What can I ask of you
What would you want from me
What would you say if I just fell asleep”
