You are never alone
by Mauro Scocco (direct translation to English by Bock McMillan)

When the storm blows, when the bridges burn
When hope and meaning, just disappear
When you feel small, and when no one is there
You will never be alone anyway, as long as I am here

I can walk all night, take a plane or train
It doesn't matter where you are
I´ll get there - anyway

You are never alone, as long as I breathe
As long as my heart - can beat
You are never alone, never forget it
I'll do anything for you, I hope that you know
Yes, I hope that you know

If those you trust fail you, if your dream fell apart
Then I can remind you of how much you're worth
That the fear you feel, it is not you
And how scary as it may seem, it will fade away

I can walk all night, take a plane or train
It doesn't matter where you are
I´ll get there - anyway

You are never alone, as long as I breathe
As long as my heart - can beat
You are never alone, never forget it
I'll do anything for you, I hope that you know
Yes, I hope that you know

So when you no longer cope, then I´ll cope for us both
When you cannot find a way out, I´ll find one anyway
You have given me so much over the years that have passed
The biggest thing one can get, you have given it to me

You are never alone, as long as I breathe
As long as my heart - can beat
You are never alone, never forget it
I'll do anything for you, I hope that you know
Yes, I hope that you know
Yes, I hope that you know

And I know that you know

Slow Start

"I Miss Us" by and with Mauro Scocco is a good way to start the weekend.

You Are Never Alone 2011

I have posted this song by Mauro Scocco a few times before, but this time it is not only for my own benefit.



You Are Never Alone
by Mauro Scocco (translated to English by Bock McMillan)

When the storm blows, when the bridges burn
When hope and meaning, just disappear
When you feel small, and when no one is there
You will never be alone anyway, as long as I am here

I can walk all night, take a plane or train
It doesn't matter where you are
I´ll get there - anyway

You are never alone, as long as I breathe
As long as my heart - can beat
You are never alone, never forget it
I'll do anything for you, I hope that you know
Yes, I hope that you know

If those you trust fail you, if your dream fell apart
Then I can remind you of how much you're worth
That the fear you feel, it is not you
And how scary as it may seem, it will fade away

I can walk all night, take a plane or train
It doesn't matter where you are
I´ll get there - anyway

You are never alone, as long as I breathe
As long as my heart - can beat
You are never alone, never forget it
I'll do anything for you, I hope that you know
Yes, I hope that you know

So when you no longer cope, then I´ll cope for us both
When you cannot find a way out, I´ll find one anyway
You have given me so much over the years that have passed
The biggest thing one can get, you have given it to me

You are never alone, as long as I breathe
As long as my heart - can beat
You are never alone, never forget it
I'll do anything for you, I hope that you know
Yes, I hope that you know
Yes, I hope that you know

And I know, that you know

Intermission

I am too tired to blog so I give you a musical break instead.

This is Mauro Scocco, my favorite Swedish singer/songwriter, next to Bara Jonson (the Swedish SecondLife celebrity musician and my buddy).

Mauro has for a long time been the singer I always return to when I am happy or sad. Well, to be totally truthful, whatever mood I am in actually - except angry.

The title of the song means "I Miss Us". Please enjoy!

You Are Never Alone - Mauro Scocco

I have posted this song by the Swedish singer/songwriter Mauro Scocco earlier, but I needed it´s comfort again.

I have posted this one before, but it´s speaking to me again - so please enjoy! Mauro Scocco doing what he does best. Ars always went for the rhythm, I always go for the lyrics and the song. 

You are never alone
by Mauro Scocco (almost direct translation to English by me)

When the storm blows, when the bridges burn
When hope and meaning, just disappear
When you feel small, and when no one is there
You will never be alone anyway, as long as I am here

I can walk all night, take a plane or train
It doesn´t matter where you are
I´ll get there - anyway

You are never alone, as long as I breathe
As long as my heart - can beat
You are never alone, never forget it

Then I can remind you of how much you're worth
That the fear you feel, it is not you
And how scary as it may seem, it will fade away

I can walk all night, take a plane or train
It doesn´t matter where you are
I´ll get there - anyway

You are never alone, as long as I breathe
As long as my heart - can beat
You are never alone, never forget it
I'll do anything for you, I hope that you know
Yes, I hope that you know

So when you no longer cope, then I´ll cope for us both
When you cannot find a way out, I´ll find one anyway
You have given me so much over the years that have passed

Another from Mauro

If it´s O.K with you, it´s O.K with me
Tonight I'll take off my ring
If it´s O.K with you, it´s O.K with me
Nobody has to know anything

Eva was six feet tall, visiting from Göteborg
She stood and squinted against the sun on a Sunday at Norrmalmstorg
She asked me about the way to somethin' gallery, I did not know
I said, art may well wait, we can go for a walk instead if you want
She was a natural beauty of a kind not often seen
So we went to the Opera bar, ordered a gin tonic and sat down

She said: I have a husband and children at home, they don´t know where I am
Oh this is certainly something I will regret, but I will not think about it ...

If it´s O.K with you, it´s O.K with me
Tonight I'll take off my ring
If it´s O.K with you, it´s O.K with me
Nobody has to know anything

After the first drink, I ordered another two
I said, we are both adults, we both know what we want
She asked about me, so I told her just as it is
Although I have a relationship it isn´t particularly good

Well I said, I have wife and children at home, they don´t know where I am
Oh this is certainly something I will regret, but I will not think about it ... 

If it´s O.K with you, it´s O.K with me
Tonight I'll take off my ring
If it´s O.K with you, it´s O.K with me
Nobody has to know anything

If it´s O.K with you, it´s O.K with me
Tonight I'll take off my ring
If it´s O.K with you, it´s O.K with me
Nobody has to know anything

Nah I am not promoting adulterous affairs, it´s just me and Mauro hitting it off again!

Mauro again

I am sleepless and listening to this.

Its been a good day for me in both my lives so why I suddenly cannot sleep is a mystery to me. But listening to Mauro Scocco always makes me feel even better so...

P.S. Mauro reminded me of what possibly caused my temporary sleeplessness. Just before I went to bed I read a blog that I don´t read very often these days but I happened to see the link on another blog. Reading it disturbed me a lot. This blogger is continuing his usual rantings and bullying againt any person who has dared stand up against him or simply just doesn´t agree with him.

I feel sorry for him! His life seems to be driven by hatred, contempt and selfpity.

Heat & Passion

We Swedes need something to warm us and bring light into our lives right now. The darkness and the cold is taking its grip around our bodies, our minds and our souls.

I thought this could fill you with some passion and heat to keep you warm awhile..

Mauro Scocco, alas tragically heterosexual, is telling us "It is time - for us to get to know each other better as a woman and a man". (In my dreams he sings something slightly different...)

A Slow Farewell

After the events yesterday I feel like I have a really bad hangover. You know the kind where you wake up with a throbbing head, shivering body and an awful bitter taste in your mouth.

I am guessing that yesterday in a way will mean a slow farewell to people who have given meaning to my life, which is always a sad thing.

This calls for some Mauro Scocco



A Slow Farewell

And I wish I could say this is just a phase we´re going through 
A storm we have to ride out
And I wish I could say that we´ll make it together 
That everything will work out eventually 
But how do you say to someone, that the road ends here 
And how do you say to someone, that your heart longs to be out
 
And I cannot lie to you,you know me all too well 
But if you look me in the eyes 
They are saying a slow farewell 
(So slow ... a slow farewell)
 
Here is your king now without crown 
Indifferent and tired
A sad figure, whom you never really met
And when I look over my shoulder at the years that just went by
I see everything that was lost but also all that we got 
And what do you say to someone who wants to start again 
When it is already too late;when one is already leaving 

And I cannot lie to you,you know me too well 
But if you look me in the eyes 
They are saying a slow farewell 
(So slow ... a slow farewell) 

I took my hands in the name of love 
You can win everything you lose sometimes 
You fall over, but you rise again
It is not over, it's just the way it feels 
And my heart wants, and the heart can 
Do wonders sometimes 
But the road that we travel on - it leads nowhere 

And I cannot lie to you, you know me too well 
So whatever we call it 
It is just a slow farewell,
mmm Ooha slow farewell! 

So when you look over the shoulder at the years that just went by 
Do you see anything that was lost or everything, oh everything we got.

Heaven Around the Corner

Happy hour means more Mauro Scocco, this time with Lisa Nilsson and Driftwood. Enjoy!

As my loyal readers may have guessed by now, Mauro is one of my favourites...

"Sarah"

"Sarah"
by Mauro Scocco

No boys are sleeping
She´s in all their rooms
In the air they breathe
her kiss on their lips
They sneak around her door
with her picture in their pockets
They are the heroes in the movie,
she´s the girl
They cry out her name, but no one hears
And the stars sing in unison

She walks past my house,
I follow every step she takes
She disappears around the corner,
and then there is only longing left
They say that she lives alone
and maybe she wants it that way
But if she got to know me,
would it change anything then?

I stand at her door
Hear the heart beat
I go up to her door and ring the bell
oh, come out tonight

Oh Sarah, come out tonight
I´m waiting at the corner by 7-Eleven
Sarah, you are more than I understand
put on your jacket, so we can take a walk

She is wild like the wind
She is warm as a summer night
In her eyes sparkle
an infinite treasure
There is nothing I wouldn´t do
to have her here
I´ll take down the moon and the stars
I promise, I swear

I walk up to her door and ring the bell
on the other side, on the other side someone begins to walk
oh, come out tonight ...

Oh Sarah, come out tonight
I´m waiting at the corner by 7-Eleven
Sarah, you are more than I understand
put on your jacket, so we can take a walk

Come out, come out,
Come out tonight ...

Det finns...

OK I am posting this song a second time! The reason is not only that I love it or that I love Mauro Scocco. This song by Mauro always give me hope and joy and I have a friend that needs that now, as he also has a friend that needs it even more!





There is...
by Mauro Scocco (awfully translated to English by Bock)


There is a hole in the sky where the sun beats through
There are fish in the sea but there is never anyone who sees them
There are people in the houses with a longing for something else
But in the middle of their lives it seems everything just stopped
There are voices missing that were never heard
One doesn´t want to be in the their way, one doesn´t want to disturb
There are men in suits that have grown too large
Applaud those who win, kill those who lose with silence


There is God and religions, or you could buy a crystal,
if you think it can warm you when the wind blows cold
There is everything you could want, they smile at you from the TV
Also you can become a winner, any bum or Count


There is, (there is) in an ideal world
There is, (there is) everything your heart could ask for
There is, (there is) if you can stretch out
It is there, help yourself, before it all runs out


There are kings and presidents who divide the planet
While people stay silent, we have stolen their words
There are ideologies, we see them fall apart
Politicians against the wall who only stand and stutter
There are wonderful places, high mountains and wild rivers
Where the sky is your sister and the cloud is your brother
There are always black pages in each person's book
What is different between the crazy and the one we call clever?
There is a tear in every laugh, there is a sadness in each joy


And in the Milky Way lanes is heard a quiet murmur
There is everything you could want, they smile at you from the TV
You can also become a winner, any bum or Count


There is, (there is) in an ideal world
There is, (there is) everything your heart could ask for
There is, (there is) if you can stretch out
It is there, help yourself, before it all runs out


There is, (there is) in an ideal world
There is, (there is) everything your heart could ask for
There is, (there is) if you can stretch out
It is there, help yourself, before it all runs out

Du är aldrig ensam - Mauro Scocco

You are never alone
by Mauro Scocco (direct translation to english by Bock)

When the storm blows, when the bridges burn
When hope and meaning, just disappear
When you feel small, and when no one is there
You will never be alone anyway, as long as I am here

I can walk all night, take a plane or train
It doesn´t matter where you are
I´ll get there - anyway

You are never alone, as long as I breathe
As long as my heart - can beat
You are never alone, never forget it
I'll do anything for you, I hope that you know
Yes, I hope that you know

If those you trust fail you, if your dream fell apart
Then I can remind you of how much you're worth
That the fear you feel, it is not you
And how scary as it may seem, it will fade away

I can walk all night, take a plane or train
It doesn´t matter where you are
I´ll get there - anyway

You are never alone, as long as I breathe
As long as my heart - can beat
You are never alone, never forget it
I'll do anything for you, I hope that you know
Yes, I hope that you know

So when you no longer cope, then I´ll cope for us both
When you cannot find a way out, I´ll find one anyway
You have given me so much over the years that have passed
The biggest thing one can get, you have given it to me

You are never alone, as long as I breathe
As long as my heart - can beat
You are never alone, never forget it
I'll do anything for you, I hope that you know
Yes, I hope that you know
Yes, I hope that you know

And I know that you know

Det finns...

"Det finns" av Mauro Scocco

Det finns ett hål i himlen där solen slår igenom
Det finns fiskar i havet men det är aldrig nån som ser dom
Det finns människor i husen med en längtan till nåt annat
Men mitt i deras liv tycks allt bara ha stannat
Det finns röster som försvunnit som aldrig blev hörda
Man vill inte va i vägen man vill inte störa
Det finns männen i kostymer som vuxit sig för stora
Applåderar dom som vinner, tig ihjäl dom som förlorar
Det finns gud och religioner eller köp dig en kristall,
om du tror att den kan värma dig när det blåser kallt
Det finns allt vad du kan önska, dom ler mot dig från teven
Också du kan bli en vinnare, varje luffare eller greve

Det finns, (det finns) i den bästa av världar
Det finns, (det finns) allt ditt hjärta kan begära
Det finns, (det finns) om du orkar sträcka ut
Det finns där, ta för dig, innan allting tagit slut

Det finns kungar och presidenter som delar upp vår jord
Medan människorna tiger, man har stulit deras ord
Det finns idéologier, vi ser dom rasa samman
Politiker mot väggen som bara står och stammar
Det finns underbara platser, höga berg och vilda floder
Där himlen är din syster och molnet är din broder
Det finns alltid svarta sidor i varje människas bok
Vad skiljer då den tokige från den vi kallar klok?
Det finns en tår i varje skratt, det finns en sorg i varje rus
Och i vintergatans gränder hörs ett stilla sus
Det finns allt vad du kan önska, dom ler mot dig från teven
Också du kan bli en vinnare, varje luffare eller greve

Det finns, (det finns) i den bästa av världar
Det finns, (det finns) allt ditt hjärta kan begära
Det finns, (det finns) om du orkar sträcka ut
Det finns där, ta för dig, innan allting tagit slut

Det finns, (det finns) i den bästa av världar
Det finns, (det finns) allt ditt hjärta kan begära
Det finns, (det finns) om du orkar sträcka ut
Det finns där, ta för dig, innan allting tagit slut
