Ingenting CD Single Info/Reviews

[luckyguerin13]

I'm not that keen on the video. The song has so much energy, and the video has... well, none, really. It looks beautiful, it's very arty, but all that slo-mo... kind of saps the energy out of the song. Maybe Adam is too used to doing glossy commercials now! I'd rather have less gloss, more soul.

I would rather watch paint dry.

Oh also I would like to mention I found my child singing to Ingenting last night. Well just the "ingenting" parts at least. She actually likes the video...

The thing I actually like in that video is the slow motion.
Too bad that it does not work for everybody.

Nothing ever works for everybody! Not even chocolate... But I'm more than chuffed with the song itself - and I'd rather love the song and not like the video than vice versa, obviously. And the song is immense so I am a very happy bunny. I wouldn't care if the video was a black screen so long as I can hear the track!

You ve got a point there ;-)

Btw in Kent/Sony Ericsson youtube channel
a video named Kent - Ingenting (Version II)
appeared but when I put both videos play together
I didnt find any differences

Perhaps they wanted to put a different video of Ingenting
(totally new or slightly different)
but the uploaded the same one?Who knows.

[luckyguerin13]

maybe it's a subliminal thing. like there's more flashes than before. or it focuses more on that gorilla than before. (so kidding)

I want to make my own video to this song. And I would if I had a camcorder and the patience to do so. I'd play the song at a senior citizens center and let them get down. It'd be more entertaining.

Now that would be some kinda energy . At least we could get a chuckle out of it. I'd want to see them attempt to breakdance or something, that could be pretty rad.

I played the video at a CompUSA earlier this week on an iBook, damn I wish I could afford one of those, they're supersweet. I can't believe they actually had broadband speed there too.

If my 10 year old likes it, I'm sure the geriatrics would, too.

Did people around wonder what the hell you were listening to/watching? I play Kent around people who are deprived of good music and they give me looks. Chumps!

[ethan]

Absolutely brilliant. I cannot wait for the album now.

I'm not a fan of the remixes though, but I don't think there are remixes I do like, lol.

Edit:

I do think that this line in the translation is wrong:

And under siege I can shoot myself out

It should be:

And under siege I can shoot you out

In "Och under belägring kan jag skjuta dig ut" the "dig" is you, whereas "mig" would be "myself."

[frippe99]

Version 2 is more black yes and version 2 seems to be 2 seconds longer than version 1 but it just seems to be 2 seconds of black screen in the end. Other than that it just seems like the scene with Sami and Markus and the waterdrops is more zoomed in than in version 2?

I had a go at translating it. I don't know much swedish so I had to use a swedish to english dictionary for most of it, lol. Hopefully someone can fix up my mistakes.

In Hagnesta Hill flash the television lights
I do what I can, dream myself away
In Hagnesta Hill, among the identical houses
We are drawn into the advertisements interrupting sport

That last line is a tricky one. Jocke actually twists the concepts around. He doesn't sing about a commercial brake, but a sport brake. I can't come up with an exact translation for "rycker vi till", but the essence of the line would be this:
We are surprised
the commercials are interrupted by sport

Thx for the help ethan and utomjording I appreciate it. I've editted in the corrections.

[ethan]

I would also say "On Hagnesta Hill" and not "in" simply so that it makes sense in English. There are a few other cases like this in the translation. You don't always want to give an exact translation per se.

Also, I would translate "jävlarna" more like "damned" or something. Of course, translating curse words into different languages is rather ineffective. Your translation still gives the same connotation.

utomjording, thanks for the bit on the last line of the first block! That was confusing me so much, lol. I knew what it meant, but the meaning of the sentence was hard to convey in English.

[mh]

We are surprised
the commercials are interrupted by sport

We flinch,
the commercials are interrupted by sports

is probably closer.

[FErg]

So, it looks like I am the only one who does no like it then...

Usually I like their singles but this is a big disappointment for me, too electronic for my liking.

Oh well, hope the album will lift my spirits up a bit...

Cheers
