On songs and stockings

[gothikmaus]

I've found the definitive song with the definitive video: Sumisu, by Farin Urlaub. I downloaded the "alternative video" from www.farinurlaub.de and it was love at first bite, er, sight.

First: the song is the ultimate teenage goth anthem; there's even a Cure reference (see below for lyrics). I love the bass part and Sumisu is the Japanese transliteration of Smiths! *geeky moment*

Second: the video. The video! Farin plays Nosferatu (you know the film by Murnau, right?) and for a girl who's been collecting anything vampire-related since she was attending primary school that's to die for.

But anyway, here are the German lyrics with the English translation.

Sumisu Unsere Tage waren dunkel Unsere Hemden waren schwarz Wir standen ständig auf dem Schulhof in der Ecke Und wir tauschten tief enttäuschte Blicke aus Und immer, wenn wir traurig waren (Und traurig waren wir ziemlich oft) Gingen wir zu dir nach Hause Und da hörten wir die Smiths Unsere Nächte waren einsam Unsere Herzen waren schwer Es gab niemanden, der uns verstehen konnte oder wollte Und so kamen wir uns näher Und immer, wenn wir traurig waren (Und traurig waren wir ziemlich oft) Nahm ich dich in meine Arme Und dann hörten wir die Smiths Manchmal auch The Cure oder New Order - Aber größtenteils die Smiths

Sumisu Our days were dark Our shirts were black We were always standing in a corner of the schoolyard And we exchanged deep, disappointed glances And every time we were sad (And we were sad pretty often) We went to your place And there we listened to the Smiths Our nights were lonely Our hearts were heavy There was no one who could or wanted to understand us And so we got close to each other And every time we were sad (And we were sad pretty often) I took you in my arms And then we listened to the Smiths Sometimes also The Cure or New Order But most of all the Smiths

Also, I was tidying up my drawers yesterday and found a picture from last April in London. Demi and I had just come back to the hostel from the Curedrink (on foot), it must have been around 3 am and I was totally devastated. 2 concerts, pints of beer and cider, lots of cool people to talk to... And she just had to take a pic of me in that state, dear girl. And no, I was NOT drunk. I've come to the conclusion that I'm physically incapable of getting drunk. And I'm not complaining, no matter how much I drink I never get hangover. ^__^

I will spare you the whole picture, but I have to show you this.




Aren't these stockings the coolest thing ever? >_<
