Titiyo - Come Along (Come Along, 2001)

[my-chaos-radio]

Release: August 20, 2001

Lyrics:

Play with it while you have hands

Dust settles, cities turn to sand

Trespassing this is their land

Time flies, make a statement, take a stand

Come along now

Come along with me

Come along now

Come along and you´ll see

What it's like to be free

Come along

Come along with me

Come along now

Come along and you'll see what it's like to be free

Come along now

Come along with me

And I'll ease your pain

Come along

Come along with me

And let's seize this day

Come along, come along with me

Oh, come along with me

Stay out stay clear but stay close

Friends, foes, God only knows

Lets be the thorn on the rose

Time flies, make a statement, strike a pose

Come along now

Come along with me

Come along now

Come along and you'll see

What it's like to be free

Come along

Come along with me

Come along now

Come along and you'll see what it's like to be free

Come along now

Come along with me

And I'll ease your pain

Come along

Come along with me

And let's seize this day

Oh, Come along with me

Come along

Time flies, make a statement, take a stand

Time flies, make a statement, take a stand

Time flies, make a statement, take a stand

Time flies, take your chance

Songwriter:

Joakim Berg / Peter Svensson

SongFacts:

"Come Along" is a song by Swedish recording artist Titiyo. It was written by Joakim Berg and Peter Svensson for her album of the same name (2001), while production was helmed by Tore Johansson. The song was selected as the album's lead single and reached the first place in GLF and, according to Billboard, became the most played song on Sveriges Radio. The song was awarded a Swedish Grammis Award in the category Song of the Year and a Rockbjörnen Award for Swedish Song of the Year.

The song was included in the soundtrack for the 2004 film 'Iron Jawed Angels' and was covered by Vicci Martinez. The official music video was made available on YouTube channel of Diesel Music, owner of label Superstudio Blå on 8 December 2011.

Dave Thompson from AllMusic wrote, that the song "sets the scene, a sultry post-blues number infused with just enough of Titiyo's trademark dance sensibility to mask (but never bury) the distinctly PJ Harvey-esque feel of the song itself". Mila Kravchuk from Ukrainian music website @music noted: "We fell in love with this sluggish blues melody, stretching like a molasses, with equal, rhythmic stresses. […] It's as if this tune was brought from the old gramophone record by Robert Johnson".

[thespiritofvexation]

Some more Thåström-recommendations for @glorious-blackout (and anyone else who might be curious about what my problem is) Sorry, I got carried away!

Ebba Grön - Die Mauer (1982)

I feel I need to explain what I meant when I said Die Polizei reminded me of Die Mauer (apart for the obvious similarities in the titles!) I'm just gonna go ahead and assume you know what Die Polizei is about! Die Mauer is about a man who is separated from his love by the Berlin wall, he is overcome by longing and anger and decides to do whatever it takes to reunite with her. The sound of gunshots at the end of the studio version implies that he failed, hence the "Die Mauer but with a happy ending"-comment. Musically Thåström's solo-rendition of the song is more like Die Polizei than the original though (this one for example)

Imperiet - Alltid rött alltid rätt (1983)

Title means "always red always right", basically a raging against the machine socialist anthem (live video for maximum intensity!)(I promise he is perfectly sane)

Imperiet - Märk hur vår skugga (1985)

A cover of a song originally written in 1790! The band felt they were becoming to commercial and wanted to do something "avant-garde" and the record company was not happy. To everyone's surprise it became their biggest hit! (The song may not be very Kaizer but the video sure has Kaizer-vibes!)

Imperiet - Österns röda ros (1986)

"Red rose of the east" (meaning Palestine) You might know this one already if you've seen my pinned post. Including it anyway since it sadly still is relevant and because I think I might like this 2015 version best

Thåström - Djävulen o jag (1989)

I made a whole post about the various live versions of this song and the studio-version is also a favourite! But I feel like especially this version only needs a couple of oil barrels and it would fit right into a Kaizer concert

Thåström - Radio Thåström (1991)

This list got a bit heavy so have a silly nonsense song with a silly nonsense video!

Peace Love & Pitbulls - A. Psycho (1992)

In the early 90's Thåström said fuck this, eloped to Amsterdam and started a industrial- rock- techno- metal- band, or as a swedish journalist put it "went to Amsterdam and drilled into a mountain wall for 5 years". I'm glad he did, and so was Marilyn Manson who cited PLP as an inspiration (Just so that no one gets the wrong idea, PLP came first!)

Thåström - Vacker död stad (1999)

Then he got tired of playing with the sampling-machine and replaced it with "a fuckton of guitars". All of sweden celebrated the return of the king except for little me who did not get the appeal of this terrifying angry hobo (or "waldschrat" as @copias-juicebox would say!)

Thåström - Kärlek är för dom (2009)

Thought this one has a vibe that might be up your alley. Bit of Öppet hav-feel? (Live video just because Thåström stage-antics)

Thåström f. Titiyo - Papperstunna väggar (2021)

Probably my favourite from his latest album to finnish off this list! Titiyo has a beautiful voice♡ (First time I watched this live video I thought 'dude are you ok?' but now I know this is perfectly normal Thåström- behaviour! (Rip tumblr you would have loved to diagnose him)

I have been tagged months ago by @sunlitroom - thank you! It has taken me so long to actually post this, several things have changed XD

Last song: Come Along by Titiyo, which I have somehow unearthed in my very old playlist. Today has this song's vibe.

Current book stack: I am trying very hard to finish the wolves series by Maggie Stiefvater. I loved her Raven Cycle and wanted to read more, but somehow the Wolves of Mercy Falls fail to grab me in the same way, so it takes a long time to actually begin reading again. Not sure about the reason, maybe because it's an earlier work, or maybe the characters just don't click with me, I don't know.

Last film: I watch films so rarely, I have literally no idea. It was probably Barbie. Or maybe Dune. I loved visuals in both, but not so much the overall experience.

Last show: Now this one's easier XD I rewatched the first two seasons of Alex Rider and finished the last one. I'm kinda sad I won't see those dorks anymore, even if I found the last season's writing the weakest. Oh, and if anime counts, I've begun watching Dungeon Meshi and it's funny and cute and sometimes creepy (but what the hell is going on with Netflix subtitles, they're fucking lying in every sentence - do yourself a favour and watch a softsub not by them). It's been a while since I've watched anything ongoing. Having to wait a week for the next episode is an unfamiliar sensation by now XD

Current obsession: It is, most likely, still Gotham. I keep thinking about it so often, writing bits here and there, and plan to rewatch it again. It's funny, but nothing has really come close since Gotham that has this particular obsession value.

Tagging, if they'd like to play: @shadow-waterglow, @fandomfourever, @pigandpepper, @birdwatching-goesbothways, @jasadhyana
