oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before/ oh, it's the last time

Stepping along the way home from the station this song comes on, and hahh yeh if I could dedicate a last song to one particular young lady I think, it just would be this.

Hm to tell the truth I myself was quite surprised a little of the pain is still there. But it is not the same, like a song that has been covered and sang in a different way, what was once a mix of heady confusion and messy intensity had somehow, along the way turned into a swaggering tune that *actually* has a glimmer to it.

Perhaps it is the playful backing uh-woos that reflect the whole absurdity of the mess as seen from hindsight that makes this particular song a dedication to you. Perhaps it is in the way how the same lyrics says something new when simply sung in another way. Perhaps it is the kind of spirit in this song that I can only best explain by offering a comparison to the neighbourhood kid who jumps up on a low wall and with furrowed brows skips on it, concerned only with the next careful step because that really is the only thing that should matter for him now.

Things happens, perspectives change... and perhaps it is simply the way the song captures what I would like say in a way and fashion that is simple and true.

And I shall wish you all the best.

Always.



Oh you've got unforgettable eyes.

COBRA VERDE - TEMPTATION (COVER)

Heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling I need, it's no joke
And though it hurts me to see you this way
Betrayed by words, I'd never heard, too hard to say
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home.

Each way I turn, I know I'll always try
To break this circle that's been placed around me
From time to time, I find I've lost some need
That was urgent to myself, I do believe
Up, down, turn around
Please don't let me hit the ground
Tonight I think I'll walk alone
I'll find my soul as I go home.

Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got gray eyes
Oh, you've got green eyes
Oh, you've got blue eyes
Oh, you've got gray eyes

And I've never seen anyone quite like you before
No, I've never met anyone quite like you before
Thoughts from above hit the people down below
People in this world, we have no place to go

Oh, it's the last time
Oh, I've never met anyone quite like you before
