MP3: Lill Lindfors - Jag tycker inte om dig
Today's post belongs to Simon Tagestam:
It's a trap! is mostly concentrated on music from the last few months, so to give you a little break from all this I'd like to present to you a song that was initially released 42 years ago. Lill Lindfors is a Swedish entertainer who's done a wide range of things, but her biggest achievement is surely her album "Du är den ende" from 1967. It's a bit of a varied mix that contains some annoying samba/bossanova/jazz numbers, but the true gold is the sad and slow songs that have got some of the most hardcore, cold and "punk" lyrics I've ever heard. The chorus to "Jag tycker inte om dig" goes "I don't like you, I'm not fond of you, but I've got a lot of sympathy," and it also contains the brilliant line "If you don't trust me when I whisper to you 'my love', you're right, because you're not that to me" (all sung in Swedish of course). It's great stuff, and one of few songs that I can listen to with my parents without either of us going insane (please feel free to do a Freudian interpretation).
