Spaceman av The Killers

Hei,

Her kommer en sang jeg liker veldig godt. Nemlig Spaceman av The Killers. Jeg liker sangen kjempegodt. Den har utrolig fin melodi og tekst. 

Det er mange ideer om hva teksten handler om. Noen mener den handler om en som kommer hjem etter å ha blitt kidnappet av aliens (lite sannsynlig hvis du spør meg), noen mener den handler om en som har kommet hjem fra krigen mens andre mener den handler om en som har prøvd å ta livet sitt. Selv synes jeg det siste er mest sannsynlig. Hva tror du?

Her kommer sangen:


Hva synes du?

Siden jeg vet at det er mange som liker å spille gitar, legger jeg med tekst og grep :-)

Intro:
D    Bm  D    G
G    Bm  F#m   A

Verse 1:
D                   D         D                        D                 A
  It started with a low light,  next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed.
                      Bm        A                       A              D
And then they took my blood type,  they left a strange impression in my head.
                    D      D                         D                   A
You know that I was hopin',  that I could leave this starcrossed world behind.
                     Bm  A                      A
But when they cut me open,  I guess I changed my mind.

Prechorus 1:
        G      A               Bm       F#m
And you know I might have just flown too far
         G          A                  Bm              F#m     
from the floor this time, 'cos they're calling me by my name.
            G                          A            F#m            Bm
And they’re zipping white light beams, disregarding bombs and satellites.
A              A             A              A
  That was the turning point,  that was one lonely night.

Chorus 1:
D                       Bm          D                         G
  The starmaker says it ain't so bad,  the dream-maker's gonna make you mad.
G                     Bm                 F#m                A
  The spaceman says, "Everybody look down,  it's all in your mind."

Verse 2:
D                      D        D                     D              A
  Well now I'm back at home and,  I'm looking forward to this life I live.
                    Bm      A               A              D
You know it's gonna haunt me,  so hesitation to this life I give.
                          D    D                           D                     A
You think you might cross over,  you're caught between the devil & the deep blue sea.
                   Bm  A                      A
You better look it over,  before you make that leap.

Prechorus 2:
        G        A           Bm        F#m
And you know I'm fine, but I hear those voices
   G         A           Bm        F#m
at night sometimes, that justify my claim.
        G                     A                        F#m        Bm
And the public don't dwell on my transmission, 'cos it wasn't televised.
A                A             A            A
  But it was the turning point,  oh, what a lonely night!

at night sometimes.
