Here I go again. This song started out as a personal challenge. Having made and played the most intricate music, both metal and classical, I figured it was time for a twist. How simple a song could i write musically and lyrically, and could I get away with it? Happy Buoy too is part of this experiment which, successful or not, at least gave me plenty inspiration and a new understanding of my favorite pastime.
It’s called playing music, and that’s what I do. I play. In the norwegian language there are two words (at least) for the english word play: “spille” and “leke”. As in for instance “play an instrument” (spille), and “play in the yard with the other kids” (leke). I very much prefer the english word. You don’t have to take people seriously just because they have a sullen expression. It’s more than likely they’re just acting busy.
Don’t take me seriously anyway. I’m just playing.

I can’t take it. I just can’t take it.
Take it on my own.
I can’t forsake you. Now I need a break too
but I gotta try to make you see
that it isn’t fair
that you don’t care
the way I care for you.
I ain’t got it. I just ain’t got it.
I ain’t got what it takes.
My blood’s on fire and I’m so damn tired
but I gotta try to make you see
that it isn’t fair
that you don’t care
the way I care for you.
These days are dire
and though my love is for hire
I save my soul 4 U
