Tror ikke vi har sådan en tråd
Jeg tænker tit, at mange mennesker vælger bestemte sange til situationer, hvor det bestemt ikke passer ift. sangens tekst. Det opstår vist oftest fordi nogen mest bider mærke i omkvædet, og synes sangen er god og fx romantisk.
Jeg kan fx nævne disse, der alt for tit spilles til bryllupper og lignende:
Whitney Houston/Dolly: I will always love you
Meget klar break-up sang allerede fra første linje!
]If I should stay, I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way
And I will always love you...
Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So, goodbye
Please, don't cry
We both know I'm not what you, you need
And I will always love you....
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish to you joy and happiness
But above all this, I wish you love
Så er der også denne nydelige stalker-sang:
The Police: Every breath you take
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh can't you see
You belong to me
My poor heart aches
With every step you take
Og alles yndlings lejrbålssang med en lidt ustabil mand:
Kim Larsen: Kvinde min
og selv om vi har skændtes tit
og du har grædt og lidt
når det har været slemt
så glem det nu
for jeg er din.
Åh, jeg har huslet
og spillet tosset
og jeg har snydt dig ja
og skammet mig
og stjålet af din kærlighed
du ved besked.
Andre eksempler?
Misforståede/malplacerede sange
Re: Misforståede/malplacerede sange
Jeg var til bryllup for et par år siden, hvor dj'en under middagen spillede breakupsange på stribe. Det var virkelig specielt. Kan desværre kun huske "It must have been love", men det var også den værste.
Jeg er helt med på, at virkelig mange sange handler om breakups, og jeg ville nok heller ikke have studset over en mere uptempo breakupsang som fx "With every heartbeat" eller "Since you been gone" indimellem (nok mere passende på dansegulvet end under middagen dog), men de der tåreperserballader er bare mærkelige til bryllupper...

Re: Misforståede/malplacerede sange
U2s One er også en breakup sang - den bruges også til bryllupper

Re: Misforståede/malplacerede sange
Bruce Springsteens “Born in the USA” er ofte blevet misforstået som en patriotisk hyldestsang til USA og det er det på ingen måde, tværtimod. Det er derimod en kritik af den møde hjemvendte Vietnam veteraner blev mødt, da de kom tilbage til USA. Generelt har mange nok fokuseret for meget på omkvædet og ikke forholdt sig til resten af sangen, og dermed ikke forstået essensen. Den person der måske er mest kendt for at have misforstået sangen er Ronald Reagan som udtalte sig positivt om den som en sang om håb, og han bad endda Springsteen om støtte til hans valgkampagne. Springsteen er altså demokrat. Jeg tror i øvrigt at sangens ret pompøse melodi er en meget bevidst ironisk modsætning til sangteksten.
Anyway her er teksten:
Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
End up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
I was born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A.
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A.
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said "son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my V.A. man
He said "son, don't you understand"
I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
Born in the U.S.A., I was born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a long gone daddy in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., born in the U.S.A.
Born in the U.S.A., I'm a cool rocking daddy in the U.S.A.
Bruce Springsteen blev selvfølgelig selv bevidst om at sangen blev misforstået i høj grad, og har ved flere lejligheder fremført den i denne akustisk udgave, som nok bedre understreger sangens budskab
Og her den original version

Re: Misforståede/malplacerede sange
Idyllisk bryllupsvideo ledsaget af:
Waking up feeling the taste of our fight last night
Breaking up, making a mess of an all good life
And now that you're gone
I'm thinking 'bout old times
I've waited so long
For this to be over
Now that I'm free from all the chains
you've kept me in, I'll be ok
Now that I've found the only way
to get myself home again, I'll be ok
Moving on, seeing it all in a whole new light
Thinking of reasons to make it, I'll be alright
And now that you're gone
I'm thinking 'bout old times
I've waited so long
For this to be over
Now that I'm free from all the chains
you've kept me in, I'll be ok
Now that I've found the only way
to get myself home again, I'll be ok
I'm biding my time
It's my time to shine through
I've made up my mind
I'm waiting to find you
Now that I'm free from all the chains
you've kept me in, I'll be ok
Now that I've found the only way
to get myself home again, I'll be ok
I let you know I'll be alright
Now that I've found the only way
to get myself home again, I'll be ok

Re: Misforståede/malplacerede sange
Var denne her ikke også en overgang populær til bryllupper?
What if we were meant to be together
What if you were meant to be the one
I could hide a million years and try to believe
That any time the girl in mind will come and rescue me
'Cause you're the fire, you're the one
But you will never see the sun
If you don't know, you're right next to the right one
I could call it many names
But it's myself I need to blame
If you don't know, you're right next to the right one
In the end you've got a friend for lifetime
Truly there to truly care for you
I know you cry a million tears so I want you to know
That a pretty face can take you places, you don't want to go
'Cause you're the fire, you're the one
But you will never see the sun
If you don't know, you're right next to the right one
I could call it many names
But it's myself I need to blame
If you don't know, you're right next to the right one
So in the end it all depends on whether you'll find
Warm embrace when I replace the one you had in mind
