Ödeblues Vid en strand står en ensam gammal man Blicken lång bort nånstans Undrar tyst vart allt liv från ön försvann Forna dagars glans Högt står gräset på övergiven gård Vinden vaggar en grind Väggar talar om svåra svälteår Smeker gubbens kind En su aislamiento Con su soledad Hombres y mujeres En total oscuridad Lejos de las reglas De la Sociedad Cuando llegue el tiempo Se hundirán En el abrazo del mar Jämn är rytmen i kvinnors arbetssång Vadmal valkas som så Slagen ekar i bordet gång på gång “Inget skall bestå” Verk som skapats ur tusenårigt ord Samlar människor på nytt Minnen vårdas i helig sten och jord Fläkt från tid som flytt En su aislamiento Con su soledad Hombres y mujeres En total oscuridad Lejos de las reglas De la Sociedad Cuando llegue el tiempo Se hundirán En el abrazo del mar Renacerán en historias Contadas junto al mar Sagor utav hav och land Så bevingas Till sång som vinden bär TRANSLATION: Desolation Blues An old and solitary man stands by the shore His gaze lost in the distance He wonders in silence where all life from the island did go The luster of days gone by The grass grows high by the rundown farm The wind shakes the small gate The walls tell of hard days of famine It strokes the old man’s check In their isolation With their solitude Men and women In total darkness Away from all rules Of Society When their time comes They will descend Into the embrace of the sea The rhythm of the women’s work song is uniform The wadmal is waulked in this way The thumps on the table resound time and again Nothing will last Works that originated from millenary words Gather people once more Memories preserved in holy stone and grounds Breezes from a time now gone In their isolation With their solitude Men and women In total darkness Away from all rules Of Society When their time comes They will descend Into the embrace of the sea They will be reborn in stories Told by the sea Sagas from sea and land Are thus bewinged In a song that the wind carries Cover photo: “Calm” by Nicolás Belazaras Digital art: Abstract Chaos

about

Ödeblues EP - song featured in Vilsevind's Album "dag o natt"

This is the dark tale of a tightly knit community in a remote island in the North Sea. They lived a hard life - isolated, nearly forgotten and at the mercy of the elements, but it was the only life they knew. One fine day, Modernity caught up with them in the form of World War I. Terrified by the roar of fighters overhead, they decided to join hands and together descend into the depths of the sea, never to return.
