susanne sundfør
This norwegian lady with the clarion voice had her debut as CD-artist with a self-titled album in 2007. I picked it up June same year, two weeks after I bought that CD. I heard that song over and over again on the radio; I just *had* to pick it up. Couldn't play the CD all the time; had to play it myself.
Piano chords are often hard to interprete with a single guitar, but here it is, the best I could, tuned for males (Originally it's Bb major). Nobody has ever covered this one, not even another woman. In fact, VERY few have dared to cover Susanne. No wonder why; She is devine.
there've been som many people walking through my door
they don't seem to want to come back anymore
I never asked them to • I let them all go
I guess I'm not the easiest one to talk to when it's cold
but I guess I'm all right • I guess I'm fine
I think sunshine'll treat me kind
but now I'm feeling kind of locked up in this house of mine
my house is full of flowers and my room has a bed
in the garden there are roses so colourful and red
people used to come here and pick a flower or two
now nobody is coming • no not even you
but I guess I'm all right • I guess I'm fine
I think sunshine'll treat me kind
but now I'm feeling kind of locked up in this house of mine
but if you should ever come back don't knock on my door
just walk right in like you did before
and stay forever • don't think about going home
cause this is where you all belong
and we're going to be all right • we're going to be so fine
and sunshine'll treat us kind
but now I'm feeling so locked up in this house of mine
cause these walls are killing me • killing me when I'm down
I am not a warrior but I can't stay calm
these walls are breaking me • breaking me down
but I'm living it • I'm living it and that's how it's done
oh yes that's how it's done
