Working Class Hero


As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.


They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.


When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.


Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.


There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.

If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

15 sanger som representerer min musikksmak

Jeg skal nå ved hjelp av 15 sanger prøve å vise min musikksmak, men det er rett og slett umulig, man får ikke med alt. Artister som Arcade Fire, Audioslave, Bloc Party, Bob James, Bruce Springsteen, Common, Dave Brubeck, Dave Koz, Death Cab For Cutie, Eric Johnson, Good Charlotte, Herbie Hancock, Jack Johnson, Jackson Browne, Jamie Cullum, Johnny Cash, The Killers, Lenny Kravitz, The Mars Volta, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Sly And The Family Stone, Sufjan Stevens, Thomas Dybdahl, Tower Of Power, Travis og Vidar Busk var blant kandidatene til å få med en sang, men jeg kunne ikke ta med alt. Sangene er satt opp alfabetisk etter artist, så det er ikke noen slags rangering.


The Beatles - While My Guitar Gently Weeps
- En perle av en sang med Eric Clapton på gitar, White Album (1968)



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHChc2I7FKk



Charles Mingus - Haitian Fight Song
- Ingen spiller kontrabass som Mingus, The Clown (1961)





http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIzqYXg2C-o



deLillos - Snill Og Smart
- Kombinasjonen fengende pop og morsomme tekster gjør deLillos til en sikker vinner, Hjernen Er Alene (1989)






The Doors - Queen Of The Highway
- Utrolig fett lydbilde med orgel, skikkelig laid back, Morrison Hotel (1970)




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gNz-lEz6FY



Fall Out Boy - Sugar, We're Going Down
- Hehe, ikke det jeg hører mest på. Men perfekt musikk til sykling i byen og joggeturer, From Under The Cork Tree (2005)



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVc9lFgArso&mode=related&search=


Foo Fighters - Learn To Fly
- Kvalitetsrock, humor og fete riff, There Is Nothing Left To Lose (1999)




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdX-RX5IHAU



Jimi Hendrix Experience - Little Wing
- Kongen, min favorittgitarist, og en nydelig låt fra det beste Hendrix albumet, Axis: Bold As Love (1967)



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW-lXLwJAPw&mode=related&search=



John Mayer - Neon
- Min favoritt av nålevende gitarister, bra tekster, melodier og soloer, ufattelig vanskelig å prøve å spille denne låten :), Room For Squares (2001)



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzsEzD2fVwE




Kings Of Leon - Soft
- Det som først og fremst gjør Kings Of Leon så fett er Caleb Followill, en av de feteste vokalistene jeg vet om, Aha Shake Heartbreak (2004)



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTVaVG3ab4k




Led Zeppelin - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
- Vokalist, gitarist og trommis i verdensklasse, hjerteskjærende og vakker sang, Led Zeppelin (1969)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqGwtONAT-s&mode=related&search=



Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird
- 9 minutter og 57 sekunder musikkhistorie, først en fin rockeballade, og så tidenes gitarsolo, (pronounced 'leh-'nérd 'skin-'nérd) (1973)



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsWz-Q7JYQA



Muse - The Small Print
- En av mine favorittgrupper, særegen vokal, bra gitarspill og kul bass, anbefales å se live, Absolution (2003)




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWnFlFUDjlQ




Neil Young - Heart Of Gold
- Ingen har vel solgt flere skiver en denne karen, fantastisk singer-songwriter, Harvest (1972)




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7M1Se-p7uk




Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - Pride And Joy
- En av tidenes beste gitarister, røff blues, fikk et lydbilde og en tone ut av Straten sin som få gjør etter han, Texas Flood (1983)



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJWF2FGuSWg




Stevie Wonder - Living For The City
- Sinna soul fra en av mine favoritter, utrolig dyktig låtskriver, Innervisions (1973)



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be8G_3H9GMo




Hvis du har giddet å høre gjennom denne listen bør du ha skaffet deg et greit inntrykk av min musikksmak. Og kanskje har du funnet noe du har lyst til å høre mer på, i så fall er du heldig for da har du god musikksmak :)
