Lebanon Hanover: Κομμάτια και στίχοι που απογειώνουν τη μελαγχολία των ημερών

Μελαγχολήστε ελεύθερα πσυχούλες μου <3

Η διαχρονική μελαγχολία που συνοδεύει τις γιορτές, (προσπαθεί να) συνυπάρχει αρμονικά με το αίτημα επιβεβλημένης καλοπέρασης των ημερών και κάπως έτσι, έρχεται και μας πετάει στους “παγωμένους” ήχους των Lebanon Hanover, μια από τις πιο αγαπημένες minimal/dark wave μπάντες της Ευρώπης.

Είναι το πνεύμα των Χριστουγέννων; Είναι η αγάπη μας για μελαγχολικά ακούσματα, την ώρα που έξω τρεμοπαίζουν πολύχρωμα λαμπιόνια και από παντού ακούγεται “Santa Claus is coming to town?”;

Σίγουρα πάντως δεν είναι τυχαία η επιλογή των Lebanon Hanover, του συγκροτήματος που φημίζεται για τη goth αισθητική, τον νεορομαντισμό και τη μελαγχολία της μουσικής του, τρυπώντας σε ευθεία βολή την ψυχή μας κάθε φορά που τους ακούμε.

This dream is definitely over. ??? Can you believe we actually named the band after a place in the US? And that American musicians can play all over Europe but we are banned from the US by doing just the same? Thank you America, land of the free ✌? See you in Mexico or Canada where supercriminals like us are allowed entry to play our music!

Η ελληνικής καταγωγής Larissa Georgiou, aka Larissa Iceglass, και ο William Maybelline, πέρα από ιδιαίτερη σχέση με το ελληνικό post wave κοινό, έχουν τον τρόπο να απογειώνουν τη μελαγχολία μας και γι’ αυτό φτιάξαμε μια playlist με αγαπημένα κομμάτια τους, αφιερωμένη σε όλες τις ψυχούλες που μελαγχολούν αυτές τις μέρες.

Enjoy:

Midnight Creature

Like a midnight creature without a home
A raven with no wings
A grave without a stone
I’d die like a tree without leaves
In the blistering winter
With a loveless disease

Petals

Deathly are my days
Alone in my chamber
Absent is joy when you’re not around
The dark has never been so dark
Without you my sweetheart, my sweetheart
The petals are falling
Falling for us
I don’t want do go home
I just want to stay
I’ll keep my arms open
And wait all my days
The petals are falling
Falling for us

Οι Lebanon Hanover συνεργάζονται με την ελληνική δισκογραφική εταιρεία, Fabrika Records, ενώ στο “Alien” βλέπουμε σκηνές γυρισμένες στο κέντρο της Αθήνας, στον Εθνικό Κήπο και το Σύνταγμα.

Alien

I like to wander some graveyards alone
And think of all that I’ve become
What kind of box I would go
And would you even notice
My disappearance, my impressions
I’m just waiting, waiting…
And until then my desolation
Will be my trademark
I’ll always remain alien
And however hard I try to integrate
I’ll always remain alien
You say I should go out
In every brutal town
There is someone of substance
Forcing me to do things I never do
For instance laugh at jokes of you
Small talks have simply no relevance
And until you change
I’ll keep my delighted face
It is my trademark to always remain alien
And however hard I try to integrate
I’ll always remain alien

Babes of The 80s

these days it’s crucial to be silent and comfortable
the exploitation of humanity that learn to accept it all
in my generation I would never fit in
I should be saint but I want to murder, murder everyone

babes of the late 80s why are you looking so random?
without pasture there’s no movement
in my pathetic age group there’s confusion
through to a mental institution
there’s of illusion

you would fantasize about the world’s elimination
I didn’t agree but now I must say at least you had imagination
people of my age have no attitude
I should give in but I want to murder, murder everyone

babes of the late 80s why are you looking so random?
without pasture there’s no movement
in my pathetic age group there’s confusion
babes of the late 80s if you could ???
how can absence be improvement?
oooh well, in my age group there’s confusion

Sadness Is Rebellion

you say nostalgia is negation
it can’t go on like that
it will all end
contentment to be in nature
and kindness is still so hard to find
sadness is rebellion
and self hate only respect
there is waves of resistance
somewhere out there but there’s not enough of them
those graves are such a temptation
if we don’t press rewind it will all end
you say popular music is contamination
it won’t stop if the public is too blind
sensitivity almost a sensation
in a world of cruel and simple minds
may teardrops be our revolution
in confusion we will connect
there is waves of resistance
i can feel them but i never hear of them
there is waves of resistance
the critical minds there is not enough of them

Schwarzenegger Tears

Tubs of ice cream
Golden years
Tubs of ice cream
The forgotten dream

Schwarzenegger tears
It’s ok to cry
When you’re this size
Schwarzenegger tears
There’s no need to hide
When you’re this size

The terminator speaks
For all the muscle men
The terminator says
It’s the latest trend

Hollow Sky

from here we can see into the hollow sky
the thought of falling down keeps me alive
and your hot lips print words into my skin
all revolt is imaginary
our castle reaches far into the clouds
so close to space and so superior
on top of that tower you can’t withstand
and love me until the worst storm ever ends
oh once imagination was revolt
honey are we 150 years old?

Du Scrollst

I Believe You Can Survive

with your hands on your ears
i see you reading
and it doesn’t even matter
that everyone can see you
in you there is no masquerade
just purity and realness
from head to toe discrepancy
unlike anyone here
in you there is a fire
your warmth shines onto me
i bet you find bestsellers and crimes
exactly as unreadable
in you i see a lighting
and if it struck me i wouldn’t mind
you are beautiful because you wear
your dismay in your smile
in you there is no imitation
just a delicate strong mind
and with an attitude like that
i believe you can survive
in you there is a rose
to harm anyone your too shy
but your intentions of revolt
are bursting inside
in you there is a darksome cloud
with a very friendly vibe
a gloomy look is simply
the most soothing in our time
with your hands on your ears
i see you reading
and it doesn’t even matter
that everyone can see you
in your face i see happiness
with a shimmer of decline
i bet your bookshelf
looks similar to mine

Gallowdance

dance with me the gallowdance
as long as we’re not hanging
as long as we still can my love
we both know the string is always ready
dance with me the gallowdance
for all the degradation is this land
dance with me the gallowdance
as disorientated as you can

bring your own wine

How can this be good
When someone tells you what you have to do
when someone tells you that you’re good
all this confidence
I don’t see how someone like you
should talk so loud and high pitched like that
Do you ever walk around and feel disgusting
Do you ever think you are just a small creature on the planet
Do you ever try to be out of your mind
to be out of your mind
I see you at the shop
and at the bus stop
people talk so loud and serious
oh they’re so important
all this selfishness
I don’t see how someone like you
can even like themselves
Do you ever walk around and feel disgusting
Oh it is so hard to smile on this planet
Anywhere or anytime you bring your own wine
you bring your own wine
Do you ever walk around and feel as useless
as useless as you are on this planet
do you ever think anyone here cares if you’re alive
Can you not just die

Northern Lights

Perhaps an ideal way of life
leads to an ideal way of death
It would be good to be you
but I’d rather be dead
Perhaps a fashionable way of life
leads to a fashionable way of death
but to be in love is not in fashion anymore
Let’s move somewhere
near the northern skies
and watch the northern lights
and watch the northern lights
come, come into my arms
I want you in my arms
I want you in my arms
In a way it’s just not very nice
to be around people with fashionable minds
perhaps It’s futile to speak when everyone is online
alone with a couple hundreds of friends
and a couple hundreds of pills
so please leave with me
near the northern skies
and watch the northern lights
and watch the northern lights
come, come into my arms
I want you in my arms
I want you in my arms
arms, come into my arms
I want you in my arms
I want you in my arms
