Chess Ramblings
Aug. 7th, 2006 03:16 amThe power of music is amazing.
I'm listening to 'Glöm mig om du kan' from the Swedish production of Chess (This is a song that is new to the Swedish version). And though I've read the lyrics and a summary of it before, I hardly remember them... but I don't really need to. Even without knowing exactly what is going on, the feeling it inspires is the same.
Even if, knowing what it's about, I feel it's an unnecessary song addition XD
And did I mention the Swedish version of Chess is goooorgeous? With the exception of a couple songs, the music of Chess really is gorgeous even if the story has issues, and you can hardly guess that it was composed by two former members of ABBA... ;P
Not to mention it's quality level raises a surprising amount with the absence of 'One Night In Bangkok' XD (Besides, the only thing that song is good for is the line, "I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine!" and I wouldn't be able to understand that in Swedish anyway)
