lyrics

Blue shift
I travel so fast that I can't find a place
where my mind doesn't start to drift.
I am struck by the infinite mass of space
but I shouldn't feel blue, it's just the blue shift.

I saw my brother age so fast.
What I left behind has turned to red.
But the traffic lights, I went past.
It's a relative thing, as Albert said.

I'm gonna spend my life at the speed of light.
I'm gonna die young, relatively.

The faster I go, the shorter I get.
at the same time as my weight increase.
I regard my BMI with some regret
but it's a part of my restless soul's disease.

The struggle for power, happiness, wealth.
I crashed into the asphalt, but I'm not dead
so who am I to complain about health?
They are relative things, as Albert said.

I'm gonna spend my life at the speed of light.
I'm gonna die young, relatively.

Live fast, die young
Live faster, die younger

Live fast, die young
Live faster, die shorter
Live fast, die young
Live faster, die heavier
Live fast, die young
Live faster, die bluer

I'm gonna spend my life at the speed of light.
I'm gonna die young, relatively.
I'm gonna spend my life at the speed of light.
I'm gonna die short, relatively.
I'm gonna spend my life at the speed of light.
I'm gonna die heavy, relatively.
I'm gonna spend my life at the speed of light.
I'm gonna die blue, relatively.
I'm gonna spend my life at the speed of light.
I'm gonna die as everyone else.

Bellman's Brother Lidköping, Sweden

Bellman's Brother was invented in 1989 and has since then produced different kinds of electronic music inspired by the complete electronic music scene. The band consists of Johan Jernstedt and Lars Carlén. During a few years in the 90's, Susanne Bolin gave her lovely voice to some tracks. Music production was shut down between 2000 and 2008, but is now picked up again with two new albums released. ... more
