New Order - True Faith
Published 26-01-2012
Hvad betyder teksten i denne sang? True Faith er en af mine favoritter, men jeg har aldrig helt kunne finde ud af hvad sanger handlede om. Derfor søgte jeg på Google, og fandt forklaringen - og den skal du ikke snydes for.
"(True Faith) handler om stofafhængighed. Jeg rører ikke narko, men da jeg skrev sangen, prøvede jeg at forestille mig, hvad det vil sige at være narkoman hvor intet andet betyder noget for dig, bortset fra at få dagens fix. Der er en linje i sangen: "Da jeg var en meget ung dreng, andre unge drenge legede med mig / Nu da vi allesammen er voksne, er de bange for, hvad de ser." Originalen var, 'Nu tager de stoffer med mig ', men Stephen Hague vores producer fik os til at ændre det, fordi han sagde, at det ikke ville blive et hit, hvis vi beholdt denne linje i sangen. Han havde ret. Det blev et meget stort hit, men så ændrer jeg den tilbage nogle gange 'live'. "

"(True Faith) is about drug dependency. I don't touch smack but when I wrote that song I tried to imagine what it's like to be a smackhead and nothing else matters to you except that day's hit. There's a line in the song, 'When I was a very young boy, very young boys played with me/ Now we've grown up together, they're afraid of what they see." The original was, 'Now they're taking drugs with me,' but Stephen Hague our producer made us change it because he said it wouldn't be a hit if we kept that line in. He was right. It was a very big hit, but we chickened out. I change it back sometimes live."
Bernard Sumner, New order.
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun.
When I was a very small boy
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun.
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun.
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun.
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun.
