    Edit- I forgot to say the album is now available on Spotify. And Amazon have delayed my cd by 2-4 weeks, I'm not best pleased.
    Still no luck finding the album online in the US. Spotify shows the tracks but says they are unavailable in the US. Nothing on iTunes USA yet either. I was able to listen to the song clips in the Swedish iTunes store, but I can't buy it there.

    Hopefully it shows up soon! The clips sounded great.

    Hopefully the songs will be available soon on the US. I think it would at least feel better if it would state when an album will be available. Nothing worse than looking at something you cannot have.

    It's also now on iTunes uk to buy.

    boone- you're in for a treat when you finally get this album

    Allt har sin tid - Everything has its time

    Just when the sky changes colour, from blacked silver to rose gold
    Late summer rain over Karlberg
    Where our world ends in a precipice

    Oh, oh Stockholm
    Our final destination, our goal (the temple in Jerusalem)
    Now everyone feels worn, cramped and anxious (it was long ago)
    Walking over the bridge towards Fridhemsplan (the city is like a prison)
    And my last words were: Sorry for everything I never said

    One thing at a time, everything has its place
    One thing at a time, everything has its time

    A time to build up, a time to pull down
    A time to cry, a time to smile
    A time for sorrow, a time to dance
    A time to be sure, a time to take chances
    A time to be silent, a time to talk
    A time to love, a time to hate
    A time to have, a time to lose
    A time for the first
    A time for the last

    You kill with a smile
    I kill with a smile
    You always hit the spot
    I always hit the spot
    With you there is no hesitation
    With me there is no hesitation
    You always hit my heart and No one takes us alive
    They will never take us alive

    A time for you, a time for me
    We have our own time (they will never take us alive)
    A time to have, a time to give
    Everything has its own time (nothing takes us alive)
    A time for doubt, a time for hope
    Everything has its time (nothing takes us alive)
    A time for them, a time for us
    We have our time (they will never take us alive)

    The limousine is idling, the sweet life doesn't wait
    Dead stars glitter, like diamonds, diamonds

    You are my best friend
    The one I love most on earth
    But I am lost in space now and space is so large
    Diamonds, diamonds... and space is so large
    Diamonds, diamonds... and space is so large

    One thing at a time, everything has its place
    One thing at a time, everything has its time...


    *Karlberg is an area in Stockholm. The military academy is based there at Karlbergs Palace. Fridhemsplan is also an area not that far away from Karlberg-which you reach by crossing a bridge, as you can see on this map:

    For me it's almost the same with every new Kent album. First listen: mmm, there are things I like and things I don't. Second listen: ok, i like it all. Third listen: this album is great!
    I think we can hear a very hard work made by the band, they went really deep in their musical research, especially on the rythm and on the backing vocals. I think that this is the album with the deepest musical research together with Rod. And the songwriting is one more time amazing, and the songs seem to be perfect for a live set, unfortunately I can't come to Scandinavia for spring/summer, so I hope they are touring again in autumn/winter.
    Gulo Gulo lover forever!
    Maybe my brilliance shining through

    Great work! And our language school continues! I hope I don't sound nagging.

    Allt har sin tid - Everything has its time

    1) golden red

    2) Walk over the bridge

    3) Nothing takes us alive

    4) We have our own time (they will take us alive)

    5) But I am lost in space now and the sky is so large
    1) 'Rött guld' is the material red gold, though I think in English it's more often called rose gold. It's a metaphor with first silver and then rose gold.

    2) 'Går över' should be 'walking over the bridge', not 'gå över' which is in imperative.

    3) 'Ingen' is 'no one' or 'nobody'. ('Nothing' would have been 'inget')

    4) You forgot a 'never'. Just a type-o I guess, since you got the line right in the rest of the text.

    5) I understand this gets tricky because it already says space in English and then 'rymden' in Swedish is space also. But space is space and not the sky, I would argue.

    Not nagging at all. I appreciate the help!

    I'm leaving for work now, but I'll amend tonight- thanks

    Rose gold- totally makes sense, hadn't thought it would have such a different name på svenska!

    Thanks castellana, you're welcome!

    Daniel, have made the amendments you suggested. Back at the first line- since I fixed rött guld to rose gold, this got me thinking about 'svartnat silver', I've put blackened silver which I guess is technically correct, but silver which has turned black we would call 'tarnished' in english. So would 'tarnished silver' work here (keeping in the metal theme), or should I keep blackened silver?

    I emailed Amazon about my CD delay (2-4 weeks) and told them I wasn't very pleased and that they had done this before with another import pre-release (another kent album funnily enough). I got back a standard cut & paste email about unexpected fluctuations in supply times affecting delivery, blah, blah.

    Good news (for others, I guess since I'm still angry with them) the album is now available for download from Amazon- and the CD (if you order it) will come with auto-rip. (and it should for the £21 they're charging for it)

    boone, not sure if this much help- but Tigerdrottningen is showing up at Amazon US for pre-release on May 13th. And as much as I normally LOVE Amazon, just be aware that my order (which was pre-release) is delayed.

    Den andra sidan- The other side

    I live small and spartan
    I sold everything of value
    burned what nobody wanted
    Even love has a price
    Once you have been close you will never be free again

    I take the last steps myself
    I erase all my pictures
    erase our mail
    And when I close my eyes I hear your voice
    I can't see your face
    that was what I forgot first

    I know what time is worth
    And time is running away
    Once I was a millionaire
    when we had all the time in the world

    I remember exactly when the answer came
    You and I were halfway
    but it is far to nowhere
    We invested out lives
    We thought that we were insured for all time

    But time is money I swear
    Where did all the time go
    Once we were millionaires
    when we had all the time in the world

    There is a world of ice in my heart
    You started an avalanche when you gave me yours
    It feels like we met in a completely different life
    And I know that we will see each other on the other side

    Innan himmlen faller ner- Before the sky falls down

    Everything which is mine I will share with you
    Everything which is yours you will share with me
    Everything that became ours we will give to you
    Less, but for many more*
    Everything that you see will be yours one day
    To nurture and guide your children
    We own nothing, see it as a loan
    We take nothing with us when we go

    Before the sky falls down, you are all I have
    I will do all that I can, for you are all I have left
    Before the sky falls down, I am all you have
    and I will do everything in my power so that you may have me here

    Everything which seems dangerous and avant garde
    It fades and is blunted until it is normal
    Everything which is now wrong was once right
    Everything which was white will be black tomorrow
    Everything which is old was new at one time
    Even we who are young will die once day
    What you give is worth more than what you take
    Our broken world will be your responsability

    Before the sky falls down, you are all I have
    I will do all that I can, for you are all I have left
    Before the sky falls down, I am all you have
    and I will do everything in my power so that you may have me here




    *After much discussion and figuring out on twitter (thanks D & ET!) this line of the song basically says:
    Everything that will be ours we will give to you (the plural you)
    Less, but for many more (people)

    ie, the more people we give to, the less each person will get. If/ when I can figure out how to fit all that nicely into a song line, then I'll update this post!

    I'm no expert in metals, but if tarnished is what you call it when silver turns black then I guess it would work fine to translate 'svartnat' to that. But I had no objection to blackened when I read it.

    Simmaren- The Swimmer

    They sell out my homeland
    The competition to be free
    So take your life in your own hands
    No one interferes

    The naked and the dead
    Everyone should be included
    But blame yourself now if you have problems
    it is your problem
    Our storytime is changing and we flee from the rhetoric
    to charter white beaches
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and everything is forgotten

    Let it be
    Let time do the job for us
    It runs over us until the end
    but you I will never ever forget
    Let it be
    Let it sink like Titanic
    What was is over
    but you I will never ever forget

    It feels like a couple of hours
    can be months that pass
    Why does time fly by more
    the less of it you have left
    I am the lake forgotten in the mist
    that has almost become overgrown
    Where you taught me to swim
    in August nineteen hundred and seventy five

    Let it be
    Let time do the job for us
    It runs over us until the end
    but you I will never ever forget
    Let it be
    Let it sink like Titanic
    What was is over
    but you I will never ever forget

    Happiness us my own business
    Happiness is private
    But sorrow must be shared
    otherwise it becomes just too great

    Let it be
    Let time do the job for us
    It runs over us until the end
    but you I will never ever forget
    Let it be
    Let it sink like Titanic
    What was is over
    but you I will never ever forget

    Personally, I would not put "and" in the phrase "Before the sky falls down and you are all I have" and the other corresponding one and simply change it to 'Before the sky falls down, you are all I have' and the other one to 'Before the sky falls down, I am all you have' because the 'and' does not match the significance of that line. Also, I'd change "deadened" to dulled or benumbed, for a more appropriate translation. Though that is of less concern, really.
