Det här är lite sent, jag vet -- det har bara inte blivit av att skriva... Kanske är det besvikelsen över att inte kunnat pussla ihop en Göteborgsvisit som gör det...

I morgon söndag spelar, om jag förstått det rätt, David Olney på ett ställe som heter Jazzå i Göteborg; här är en länk till stället.

Om ni aldrig hört talas om Olney är ni i gott sällskap, det har knappt någon annan heller, men faktum är att han är en makalös låtskrivare. Han har en märklig vana att se saker från ovanliga vinklar, till exempel "Titanic", som beskriver det hela från isbergets sida... En annan låt med en annorlunda vinkling är "Jerusalem tomorrow", som bland annat sjungits in av Emmylou Harris. En version (mp3-format) kan laddas ner här.

Jag klipper in ett exempel på en Olney-text, hämtad från hans sajt, www.davidolney.com, där man också kan läsa mer om honom. Hoppas någon göteborgare hinner läsa det här, och tar chansen att lyssna på honom!

Revolution

Autumn raised her dying head
And to her frightened troops she said
"Don't mourn for me but save your strength for Winter
And if by chance you should survive
And if by Spring you're still alive
Remember me, remember how we struggled"
Her tattered army broke and ran
A darkness fell upon the land
Silently we bowed beneath the snowfall

Winter came to claim her throne
She turned the heart of Earth to stone
Not one of us dared raise his voice against her
Winter's reign was long and cruel
But we grew hard each day she ruled
Each frozen night seemed to last forever
She grew barren in her ancient age
And bitter in her twisted rage
Too blind to see the seeds of revolution

Underground the rebels schemed
In secret all our children dreamed
Patiently we waited for our moment
When at last the time was right
We rose up from the dead of night
And with the light of day we defied her
Her screaming voice howled and cracked
But nothing now could turn us back
And with the Spring Winter was defeated
Free at last the Earth rejoiced
Everywhere we heard the voice
Of Freedom ringing out across the land

How we toiled with Spring's first rush
But with the Summer we grew lush
And lazy in the warmth of the season
It's all too easy to forget
Winter's touch as cold as Death
We all believe the Summer lasts forever
It's all too easy to forget
Winter's touch as cold as Death
We all believe the Summer lasts forever
