Nostromo
Fantastisk låt! Och jag tyyyyycker mig höra ett lån av melodi från Taylor Swifts(fantastisk!!! f.ö) "Wildest Dreams".
Och så snyggt hur Jocke återigen använder, men skruvar till det ännu mer, det här med utanförskapet/ alienationen när han sjunger om den enda levande på det där rymdskeppet!
Har tyvärr inte läst boken som är den andra Nostromoreferensen(och frågan är om det inte finns en koppling till varför rymdskeppet heter detsamma), men läser på lite och förstår på flera vis varför det använts som en metafor i den här texten. Sett till Jockes/Kents position och integriteten/värderingarna(hittade inget bättre ord) man behåller.

"Nostromo is a commanding figure in Sulaco, respected by the wealthy Europeans and seemingly limitless in his abilities to command power among the local population. He is, however, never admitted to become a part of upper-class society, but is instead viewed by the rich as their useful tool. He is believed by Charles Gould and his own employers to be incorruptible, and it is for this reason that Nostromo is entrusted with removing the silver from Sulaco to keep it from the revolutionaries. Accompanied by the young journalist Martin Decoud, Nostromo sets off to smuggle the silver out of Sulaco. However, the lighter on which the silver is being transported is struck at night in the waters off Sulaco by a transport carrying the invading revolutionary forces under the command of Colonel Sotillo. Nostromo and Decoud manage to save the silver by putting the lighter ashore on Great Isabel. Decoud and the silver are deposited on the deserted island of Great Isabel in the expansive bay off Sulaco, while Nostromo scuttles the lighter and manages to swim back to shore undetected. Back in Sulaco, Nostromo's power and fame continues to grow as he daringly rides over the mountains to summon the army which ultimately saves Sulaco's powerful leaders from the revolutionaries and ushers in the independent state of Sulaco. In the meantime, left alone on the deserted island, Decoud eventually loses his mind. He takes the small lifeboat out to sea and there shoots himself, after first weighing his body down with some of the silver ingots so that he would sink into the sea"
