be calm

• nate ruess'ın^* yeni grubu fun'ın "aim and ignite" adlı debut lp'sinden gayet güzel bir şarkıdır. lyric manyağı olarak sözlerini de vereyim, tam olsun :
  
  as i walk through the streets of my new city
  my back feeling much better, i suppose
  i've reclaimed the use of my imagination
  for better or for worse, i've yet to know
  but i always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
  i guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
  suddenly i'm lost
  on my street
  on my block
  
  oh why, oh why
  oh why haven't you been there for me?
  can't you see, i'm losing my mind this time?
  this time it's for real, i can see
  
  the tops of trees are turning red
  the beggars near bodegas grin at me
  i think they want something
  i close my eyes, i tell myself to breathe
  
  and be calm.
  be calm.
  i know you feel like you are breaking down.
  i know that it gets so hard sometimes.
  be calm.
  
  i'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
  "these days before you speak to me you pause."
  "i always see you looking out your window."
  "after all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
  now every single crack, every penny that i pass,
  says i should either leave or pick it up
  but with every single buck i've made
  i'm saddled with bad luck that came
  
  the moment i was baptized
  or when i found out one day i'm gonna die
  if only i could find my people or my place in life
  a when they come a'carolin'
  so loud, so bright, the theremin
  will lead us to a chorus
  where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
  
  oh be calm.
  be calm.
  i know you feel like you are breaking down.
  i know that it gets so hard sometimes,
  be calm.
  take it from me, i've been there a thousand times.
  you hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
  and everything's wrong
  it just gets so hard sometimes
  be calm.
  
  i don't remember much that night,
  just walking, thinking fondly of you
  thinking how the worst is yet to come
  when from that street corner came a song
  and i can't remember the man,
  the panhandler or his melody.
  the words exchanged had far exceeded any change i'd given thee.

• her ne kadar hareketli bir şarkı olsa da içinde gizli bir hüzün barındıran (bkz: nate ruess) eseri.
• sozleri muzigi efffsane bi sarkidir. 2010'da ilk defa duyup dibimin dustugunu hatirliyorum. hala arada acip dinlerim. icinde bulundugu aim and ignite albumu de iyidi baya. indie rock olayini cok harlamisti o yillarda bu grup bu albumle. bu grup sonradan meshur oldu, some nights sarkisi her yerde duyuldu filan ama benim gonlum hep bu sarkida kaldi. hatta senlik havasi ritmini (ben boyle tanimliyorum. cuf cucu cuf cuf arti el cirpmalar filan, yuvarlanan ritm) ilk bu gruptan duymustum. galiba bu grubun pop muzige kazandirdigi birsey bu. ondan sonra sample'larini veya genel havasini pop sarkilarinda da cok duymaya basladim. milenyal bagimsiz pop (kendi tanimim) muzigine kimse farketmeden bu grubun yon vermis oldugunu dusunurum hep. belki bu olayin adi baska bir yerde konulmustur, boyle bir sey vardir. ne demek istedigimi anlayip yanlis bulanlar duzeltebilir.
