LEKKER LUISTEREN : Depeche Mode - Perfect (Sounds of the Universe 2009)

Vandaag lang in de auto gezeten op mijn terugreis vanuit het oosterse thuisfront en dus veel muziek kunnen beluisteren. Trouwe lezers weten al dat ik van Depeche Mode hou, uit een recensie op MDR Jump Radio over hun nieuw album 'Sound of the Universe' is me het nummer 'Perfect' opgevallen. Niet alles is perfect in het leven, verre van, maar Depeche Mode kan je dat doen vergeten met hun knappe songs. Veel luisterplezier.



LYRICS

On another world by another star at another place in time
In another state of consciousness in another state of mind

Everything was almost perfect
Everything fell into place,
The jury reached a different verdict,
Before the judge dismissed the case

In a parallel universe
that’s happening right now
Things between us must be worse
but it’s hard to see just how

And everything could have been perfect
Everything in the right place
Then I wouldn’t have to play the suspect
Accused, abandoned and disgraced

I didn’t choose, I didn’t pull the trigger
It wasn’t me, I’m just a plain and simple singer
I heard the sound, I turned my head around
To watch our love shot down

In another lonely universe,
we're laying side by side
And no one's hurt and no one's cursed
And no one needs to hide

And everything is almost perfect
Everything is almost right
There are never any conflicts
There are never any fights
