The Airportline: Observations

I apologies to all of you who were waiting for the Saturday song yesterday. I managed to get an elbow in my eyebrow during a floorball game and spent the afternoon/early evening in a hospital waiting to get it checked out. Turns out everything was good even though my doctor was worried that 'one of my pupils is bigger than the other' but then concluded that 'maybe it's always like that.' During the game I did not only get an elbow in my head, I also was told I played 'like a fucking pussy' from a Hague player which then put his knee in my lower back, 'are you fucking kidding me' I told him. Biking home through a sunny Amsterdam I then got into an argument with a crazy car driver who thought I biked like an idiot (which was partly true, although he drove like a drunk race car driver, which also is wrong). After he realized I didn't speak English he yelled 'go home to your fucking country you idiot, do you want me to come out of my car and hit you in the face?!' Yes, it was a weird day.

Anyway, here is the Satuday song on a Sunday:

The 23rd of March 2005 I made a mix-cd to my sister with the somewhat mushy and melodramatic title ‘From One Heart To Another’. It consisted of 15 songs with motivations. The forthcoming 15 Saturdays I will present one of these songs per week with the motivations translated into English, so that you always have a song I thought was great in March of 2005 to listen to as you begin the weekend. This is song number 4 in the series. My motivation was:

A song from a commercial for the anti bulling network Friends in Sweden, a popsong that sounds very Brittish (even though it's Swedish) and has a warm melancolic feeling. The Persishers isn't the most esciting band, but they could definitely make music for any American teen angst drama, or against bullying.
