마이아 히라사와"MAIA HIRASAWA"는 1980년 스웨덴 스톡홀름 교외에서 태어났다. 이름에서 알 수 있듯이 일본인 아버지와 스웨덴 어머니 사이에서 태어난 그녀는 어렸을 때부터 음악에 많은 관심을 가지고 있었고, 자연스럽게 재즈 스쿨에 입학하여 유년 시절부터 다양한 밴드를 거치며 음악 활동을 시작했다.데뷔 앨범인 ‘THOUGH I’M JUST ME’는 앨범에 수록되지 않은 곡의 가사에서 따온 제목으로 마이아는 작곡 뿐 아니라 편곡과 프로듀싱, 레코딩 등의 모든 작업들을 직접해냈다. "이 작업들은 모두 솔렌투나"SOLLENTUNA"에 있는 집과 근방의 오두막에서 진행되었다." 덴마크 그래미를 수상했던 친구들인 미스 리"MISS LI", 안데르스 고란손"ANDERS GORANSSON", 조세핀 린스트랜트"JOSEFINE LINDSTRAND"가 작업을 도와주었다. 리니아 올손"LINNEA OHLSSON", 한나 엑스트란드"HANNA EKSTRAND"로 구성된 현악 듀오 또한 많은 도움을 주었으며 마이아의 가족들도 박수로 레코딩에 참여했다고 한다. .... ....
I looked up into the sky I thought I catched your eye You reminded me There's nothing to see But maybe you are wrong Baby, I could come along That would be quite fair When you're never here
And it should, it should be winter now But my mind is still june And you should, you should Have given me your wings by now So I could catch your eye
And I am not alone I'm here with someone She never got the chance And I hate myself for that Cause my heart stopped to But some just for a while Should I be thankful? no I hate you for that
It should, it should be winter now But my mind's still june And you should, you should Have given me your wings by now So I could catch your eye
It should, It should be winter now But my mind still june And you should, you should Have given me wings by now So I could catch your eye So I could catch your eye
She's been spinnig for a little while - But it's not gonna last Laughing, smiling says there's no way back - At least not to right track But there's a cracker on the ground - And it will soon explode There's some fireworks in the sky - And they will soon fade like you
Structure now, but in a little while -She's gonna run back To the chaos isn't that what we all - Are heading back for There's a cracker on the ground - And it will soon explode There's some fireworks in the sky
The crackers are still on ground But I know they'll soon make a big sound There'll be a huge show in late December Though there will be snow I know That it will show, yeah it will show
And she will tell everyone about - Her spinning Cause she has taken her stuff and - Just moved in To this guy, though she hardly knows - His name Well, she hopes that she is gonna - Feel the same
She will tell him he's the one and only But in the night she dreams 'bout the dark and the lonely
She found you on myspace today Sent a message wondering if you were okay When she listened to the harmonies Something behind her heart wanted to keep what's left of you
She waited for hours and then You replied with a short "this is the end," No tears were running until Something behind her heart wanted to kill what's left of you, though she's dreamin of you And maybe...
Mattis and Maia goes travelling again Maybe to another state or maybe to Japan It might be warmer there, it might be prettiier It might be easier, definetely quieter Somewhere else
He closed his eyes as he fell All things he didn't write but wanted to tell He listened to her song And something behind his heart knew it would come straight back again But this isn't the end And maybe...
Mattis and Maia goes travelling again Maybe to another state or maybe to Japan It might be warmer there, it might be prettiier, It might be easier, definetely quieter Somewhere else...
I'm standing on a parking lot, all alone and quite confused I can't find my keys to the car, the sun's gone down and I'm too
I left them all behind, no tears, though stupid doubts Now I'm trying to see the only one, though I just want to shout But I'll sing it again, though everyone is sleeping
Aaa
I'm standing on this quiet night, walked all the way back home Now the silence is making me numb, I just want them to come And in the dark I'll sing, though everyone is sleeping I sing
Though we had it all, I left it all behind The pictures on the wall, says where I should stand Skylark had it all, but we left it all behind, wanted to fly and not to fall Now I don't know where I should stand
I don't know why they left it all But if you ask me they would do it all again
We sat in the bus driving around Running all over Sweden's old towns We spent to me hours travelling around Always searching in the lost and found Next city we arrived to there was another band And I immediately tried to find a man That I could love at least for the night And I found this boy He knew my friends from home But I swear I didn't know for sure That he knew all about John And Martin and Jim and Tom Oh I wish I had not been here before And we talked about life We talked about time We talked about me While he was looking around He was searching for something New and exciting While I was standing there right In front of him hello And I found this boy He knew my friends from home But I swear I didn't know for sure That he knew all about John And Martin and Jim and Tom Oh I wish I had not been here before And don't say I'm desperate I'm not Just trying to make my thoughts On something else than The only one I want too much The only one I want too much The only one I want too much The only one I want too much And I found this boy He had a girlfriend at home But I swear I didn't know for sure And he said wait don't go I can i walk you home to your hotel or so And I found this boy He was drinking all night long I wish I had not been here before I wish I had not been here before I wish I had not been here before
I don't know what you're staring at, your eyes are always open You said you hade a really bad day And I don't know what to say to you
But close your eyes and try to see I know it's hard for you to keep your mind relaxed In this wounded world in this wounded soul of yours
I was standing at the balcony and you didn't know what to say to me But you should know my friend, this is not the end Although sometimes I just can't
I just can't close my eyes and try to sleep A little bit more before this beautiful day arise Just look at me Cause I just can't see my own beauty
You were sinking lower soon at the bottom of the sea And I was sinking lower soon at the bottom of the sea Five, six, seven years can't imagine how it feels
Trams coming in, there's wind from the sea But I don't feel cold, it's not shivering me And I thought I didn't like this city but I've changed
Pass the place were I lived in 2002 And I can see the square close to my old school In the middle of North town, just feeling good Did not think I liked this city, Thought I, thought I hated this city but
Gothenburg I came back to you Now you be nice to me, then I'll be nice to you Gothenburg I thank you You gave me someone to love, and I really owe you
Walk up to the hill, there is someone I like He has those wrinkles close to his eyes But they're not from crying, he laughs more than I Did not think I liked this city Thought I, thought I hated this city but
Gothenburg?
R. Kelly on the stereo, a boy is dancing Around in the living room it's Monday morning And I don't ever want to go home again Did not think I liked this city Thought I, thought I hated this city but
I got a new friend now I dont know, but I hope it is for real But somehow I really doubt 'cause she comes and goes Can never know for sure
She arrives when Im alone She has beautiful plans And I am always strong And she makes me sweet and young, But when somebody else comes She doesnt want to come along
I dont know why she doesnt want to come along
I wish that she could stand Behind my back and smile When I dont know what I should do, do with all this crap But she never shows up, and what kind of friend is that
Crying on the kitchen floor I dont know what happened But she wasnt there for sure And how can I, how can I know Is my new friend gone Or is she coming back for more
She comes at four I make some tea Sits down at the table in front of me She talks in 185 She doesn't feel good, I know exactly why
'cause this has happened before, and I know why This will happen again for sure So please just dare And say it loud and clear
Say good bye To all of these Ghosts in your head, there's one sleeping in your bed And the scariest from home who don't seem to care Say goodbye
I say to her that I've felt the same way But I know my words don't count today 'cause I'm not there right now and she knows I'm where she wants to be, but the wind seems to blow
Too hard on her, she pushes it away But it all comes back to her We've been through this over and over again My friend
Say good bye To all of these Ghosts in your head, there's one sleeping in your bed And the scariest from home who don't seem to care
'cause the ghosts in your head, they won't stop until you're dead And leave the other ones so they'll be able to realize That you're too beautiful To look that sad Too beautiful To not be happy, not be glad
Beautiful you're not alone Beautiful 'cause I sing this song for you Say goodbye
