Here is a Happy New Year song that is not so happy it seems.


Happy New Year

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and i

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and i

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and i

Yes, there is something painful about this song. Let's say it is happy in a Swedish way...

Happy New Year to everyone (in a more southern way)!

Hahaha, painful happiness..... That's so sweet (or shall we say, Sweed)? Is the northern country still having a high suicidal rate? Happy New Year to you, my friend. What is your new resolution?

nice song julia haha and happy new year to you

Happy New Year friends~

Wow, as you asked I checked the rates... Well, it surprised me... Now, the Sweeds are not suicide at all. Or maybe it is for the advenaced prevention system? (I read in Norway the state supports the depressed to travel to warmer countries.)

Well, up to now did not care for resolutions - I am inclined to forget them... But as you asked I made a decision: I put aside my inborn shyness and will send synopses of my stories to smaller film companies...
(I mean in English. Let them enjoy my exotic sentences.)

Heyy, I posted the Doris Lessing quote to provoke you (and Yana), ha-ha... (I am soo naughty!...)
