this is a perfect example of why a simple form of rhyming isn't (and shouldn't be) reserved for standard brainless pop-songs...

I'm not sure how to say this in english, but "nightmarishly beauiful as my first impression" wouldn't be too far from the truth...

hmm.. this is a great little nightmarish vision of a music making process (=not sarcasm)...

there is an eerie (I think that's the english word for it) beauty here, like out of some painting in an abandoned mansion lit up by the full moon...

I'll hold the metaphors for now....

I have to dissagree on the whole "darkness, rain (and all that) = negative" (but that's probably just a matter of taste)...

but other than that, this is actually a good song, the rhyming seems natural, as does the flow of words...

social realism (if that's the proper english word) at its finest...

well...
I guess this is somewhat accurate description of Scandinavia (and some other places) but I'm just curious about what part of Sweden that had this effect on you...

hmm..
I like the simplicity here, it's not rich in metaphores or a twisted play on words, but it doesn't need to be...
the repetition actually works here, which is rare...

"Bent deeply in a bow." sounds strange, but maybe that's just my lack of knowledge of the english language...


other than that this is like a calm acceptance of "darkness" (whatever that means) and it reminds me of a line from the videogame Shadowman: "the horror, the horror, I embrace it.."
and I hardly noticed the rhyming, which probably means that it came naturally and didn't disturb my overall experience of this really great text...

despite the slightly cliché-like approach (4-line verses, rhyming etc.) there is something of value here, but it's like a beast bound by the chains of having-to-do-things-a-certain-way-to-make-it-a-poem...

especially in the 4th verse, that's almost Tolkien-like in a weird but interesting way..
