carnival
 

bir cardigans şarkısı olup, insanda nedensiz bir mutluluk hissi yaratır.

buyrun sözleri:



i will never know

cause you will never show

come on and love me now

come on and love me now



carnival came by my town today

bright lights from giantwheels

fall on the alleyways

and i'm here

by my door

wating for you



i will never know

cause you will never show

come on and love me now

come on and love me now



i here sounds of lovers

barrel organs, mothers

i would like to take you

down there

just to make you mine

in a merry-go-round

şarkının başındaki, başlamadan önce müzisyenlerinin hazırlandığı sıradaki sesler ilginçtir, şarkıya doğal bir hal katar, sanki stüdyoda dinliyomuşsunuz gibi. klavyeci oyun oynar, nina persson kibrit kutusunu eline aır, tıkırtısı duyulur, sonra bir kibrit çakar , sigarasını yakar, bir nefes çeker ve şarkı başlar

tori amos'un da coverladığı bir luis bonfa parçası..
the cardigans'ın 1995 tarihli life albümünün açılış şarkısıdır.

solistin sesindeki çatallaşma ile karizmayı zirvelere çıkardığı come on and let me know deyişiyle, bünyede platonik vakaları gün yüzüne çıkaralım, sürünelim hisleri uyandiran gaz şarkı. mart ayı itibariyle bir daha dinlenmelidir..

aynı zamanda süper bir natalie merchant parçasıdır.sözleri de böyle:



i've walked these streets

a virtual stage

it seemed to me

make up on their faces

actors took their

places next to me



i've walked these streets

in a carnival

of sights to see

all the cheap thrill seekers

the vendors &amp the dealers

they crowded around me



have i been blind

have i been lost

inside myself and

my own mind

hypnotized

mesmerized

by what my eyes have seen?



i've walked these streets

in a spectacle of wealth &amp poverty

in the diamond markets

the scarlet welcome carpet

that they just rolled out for me



i've walked these streets

in the mad house asylum

they can be

where a wild eyed misfit prophet

on a traffic island stopped

and he raved of saving me



have i been blind

have i been lost

inside myself and

my own mind

hypnotized

mesmerized

by what my eyes have seen?



have i been wrong

have i been wise

to shut my eyes

and play along

hypnotized

paralyzed

by what my eyes have found?

by what my eyes have seen

what they have seen?



have i been blind

have i been lost

have i been wrong

have i been wise

have i been strong

have i been

hypnotized

mesmerized

by what my eyes have found

in that great street carnival

in that carnival?
