Words

Anders Edenroth of The Real Group wrote the following song that some have called a lyrical, rhythmic masterpiece. I'm just going to let the words speak for themselves. The video is below, as usual.

Words
a letter and a letter on a string
will hold forever humanity spellbound

Words
possession of the beggar and the king
everybody, everyday
you and I, we all can say

Words
regarded as a complicated tool
created by man, implicated by mankind

Words
obsession of the genius and the fool
everybody, everyday,
everywhere and everyway

Words!
Find them, you can use them
Say them, you can hear them
Write them, you can read them
Love them, fear them

Words
transmitted as we're fitted from the start
received by all and we're sentenced to a life with

Words
impression of the stupid and the smart
everybody, everyday
you and I, we all can say

Words
inside your head can come alive as they're said
softly, loudly, modestly or proudly

Words
expression by the living and the dead
everybody, everyday
everywhere and everyway

Words!
Find them, you can use them
Say them, you can hear them
Write them, you can read them
Love them, fear them

The is The Real Group singing "Words" live at Stockholm Concert Hall in 2005. You can find a recording of this on their album, In The Middle Of Life.
