Owen drikker vin og tager med sig selv hjem

Det nyeste fra Owen er en single ved navn Abandoned Bridges. Jeg har desværre ingen mp3, men jeg har et link til en YouTube-stream med middelmådig lyd.

Og sangen har til gengæld en fantastisk tekst fyldt med afklaret bitterhed eller bitter afklarethed. Kynisk og alligevel romantisk realisme.

Så vidt dette kan være romantisk, men det mener jeg nu, at det kan.

Well, I left the party pretty early
I thought I'd go home and drink some wine
And fuck myself
I didn't want to wake you

As a man, I've known a number of loves
Some of which I'll die with
Some I'm not too proud of

I've lived, loathed and learned
Set fire to abandoned bridges and watched them burn
Here I am, I'm all yours

I've had enough of smalltalk and irony
I've had enough hermetic misogyny
I've had enough repeating history
I've had enough
So I left the party

I pulled Matt aside
Said it's time to go
And set fire to a room full of friends
That I don't know

Well, here I am, I'm all yours

Stream via YouTube: Owen - Abandoned Bridges (single 2010)
