At midnight Henrik Berggren released a new song titled “Run, Andy, Run”. With a link to spotify and the lyrics posted along his Facebook-entry.
Dare I say that the song is a tribute, a homage, to his late band-colleague in Broder Daniel Anders Göthberg.
The song makes me sad. I can’t imagine how hard it must have been to write and perform this song. It turned out beautiful. I get goosebumps and tears. Thats for sure.
We were standing in golden light
By the schoolyard where we used to meet.
You were so young; I was my age.
And after what I knew, I had to say to you.
Run, Andy, run!
Get out while you’re young.
Don’t look back.
Time will go so fast.
Go, make it true.
And, Andy I got beat.
So, now you run for me.
Go, show me.
Andy, run!And, Andy, you were right about me.
I had closed in on myself.
I let the world hold me down
Cause something got to me early on.
I don’t know why.
Lord, I don’t know why.
Run, Andy, run!
Run, with all you got.
And make it count
Till your lights go out.
Now so long, suckers!
And make your heart hard,
Hard like cold iron,
Hard like diamond.
Come on Andy, run!
Run, Andy, run!
Forever young
Push on clear.
You’ll be wasted here,
But we’ll never know now.
You’ll grow old now.
Time’s lost its hold now.
Forever done
Forever young
Run!
And, Andy, be yourself.
Come on be you.
Come on be you.
Nothing matters, don’t you know?
Nothing matters, don’t you know?
Now reality wont heal
Cause you’ve made the world unreal.
