before i was smart

Before I Was Smart
written & performed by Pelle Carlberg


Take me out and let me feel
What it's like to be surreal
Sticky, stingy, stiff and pale
Wonder how I got so quail

They might save a lie or a fiendish "why?"
In a time where the things we do scare me
I preferred to be stupid and naive
In a time I remember just barely
Before I was smart

On a train to my old town
Putting on a scornful frown
In this town I used to sing
Sing about most anything

They might save a lie or a fiendish "why?"
In a time where the things we do scare me
I preferred to be stupid and naive
In a time I remember just barely
Before I was smart




the song made me cry - not once, some ten times already. his voice, together with his piano sounds touched my heart so deeply.

especially (so coincidentally!) in a time when i'm re-viewing my past - reading my diaries written years ago and writing something about my childhood.

vigorous echoes inside, though i have never been smart yet. 0=P


p.s. i tried to put the stream up here. but the never-been-smart me have no clue where to put the directory. maybe... some smart radio.blog expert can help? thanks.

Hi, just a coincidence, we meet through internet. This is what God has planned for you and me, I think.
About the speech, I would say, Steve is the one who could really convince others with his own personal experiences. The lesson to learn is, how to go on with your life even you are in the dark side of it. And I hope someday, everyone of us could have a chance to share our feelings together, and to make the world a better place.
Love to read your writing too.

yup, it's a very nice coincidence indeed. i agree with you on which we gotta learn how to keep ourselves going even when we are deadly sad or hurt.

always remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending. & always believe the rainbow will soonner or later come out.

hope we can share more later.
thanks so much.
