John Grant – ”Queen of Denmark” (2010)
Vi tar oss till vårt nordiska grannland med John Grant.
”Queen of Denmark” är titellåten från Grants solodebut, där han backas av gruppen Midlake.
Grant har berättat för the Sun att den här balladen, som mycket handlar om att ha en hatkärleksrelation med sig själv, var inspirerad av hans tid i Danmark.
”When I first went to Copenhagen, I fell in love with the country, the people and especially the language. That was sort of ironic, because I had always found the language to be quite ugly, but there I was in Denmark, meeting great people and falling in love with their ‘ugly’ language. (…) I wanted to express at the end of the song ‘The Queen of Denmark’ that I have absolutely no idea what I am going to become. It could be anything and the Queen of Denmark is about as random as anything I could think of.”
”Don’t know what to want from this world
I really don’t know what to want from this world
I don’t know what it is you want to want from me
You have no right to want anything from me at all
Why don’t you take it out on somebody else?
Why don’t you bore the shit out of somebody else?
Why don’t you tell somebody else that they’re selfish?
Weepy coward and pathetic…
So Jesus hasn’t come in here to pick you up
You’ll still be sitting here ten years from now
You’re just a sucker but we’ll see who gets the last laugh
Who knows, maybe you’ll get
to be the next queen of Denmark”
