Jeepstarr – Tankefrid (prod. André Roots)

© & ℗ Jeepstarr & Swingkids ”Tankefrid” skrevs i samband med att den svenska regeringen införde statlig förhandsprövning av public service vid årsskiftet. Det gick igenom utan att allmänheten upplystes särskilt och trots starkt motstånd från både politiker och viktiga aktörer inom svensk kultur och media. SVT play hade aldrig funnits idag om lagen fanns när det begav sig och vissa säger t.o.m. att det strider mot våran grundlag. Låten blev till och det enda rätta sättet för den att se dagens ljus är gratis genom TPB. Dom kan inte sätta ett pris på våra åsikter och tanken kan aldrig bli förhandsgranskad! Varsågoda…tanka! Text/Melodi/Sång: Jeepstarr Producent/Musik: André Roots Video/Art: Ofer Omslag/Art: MoeglOne http://www.kapelletmusic.se The song, ”Peace of mind”, was written in conjunction with the Swedish Governments introduction of a new law in december 2010. This law says that everything in public service will be previewed by the state before getting approved. This law was added without the public being properly informed, and despite strong oppositions from both politicians and key players within Swedish culture and media. Some swedish legal streaming sites wouldn’t be today if this new law would have existed before they were launched and some even say that it is contrary to the swedish constitution. The song was created and the only right way for it to see the light of day is free and through TPB. They can not put a price on our views and our minds can never be previewed! Feel free, DOWNLOAD IT! Lyrics / Melody / Song: Jeep Starr Producer / Music: André Roots Video / Art: Ofer Cover / Art: MoeglOne http://www.kapelletmusic.se I just saw in the comments that some one tried to translate the lyrics and since so many have been asking for it I thought I might as well post it. Please have indulgence. In his own words ”i translated it, tried to keep the flow of the text, without changing the meaning of the words”. Thank you Marcus aka mycide!

LYRICS

”Want to be free like utopia, living in a dystopia” Give my thoughts some peace or set my thought free Set your thought free Chorus: It’s in some way as if we all are in for life When freedom of opinion just builds on being opinionfree headlines and enforced impression you are forced to take in When Bonnier decides where your thoughts begins It’s in some way as if we all are in for life when opinions are under lock and key do not believe you are free in this opinionprison where the advertisments is your gate Yea, we live in a ”Clear Channel”, ”JC Decaux” utopia //Chorus// However locked in a dystopia work all our life and give a small elite who do not give a shit half my money for our toils what a hoax for in their club we are not No, in their VIP there sits a monarchy a military hierarchy a millennial ideology equally old regime everything is in their control yes they own every individual but we’re preparing to fight Chorus: x1 But we never stand behind your oppressive ways no, we will never stop uplifting each other Have found a newfound strength to breathe they will never more be able to control mans thoughts We don’t see anymore what they miss showing and we hear no longer all they want to scream This is no disrespect song but your flowers begins to wither and it seems the well starts to dry up Chorus: x1 As long as a hand full men control what is printed in your paper so will freedom of speech be merely a tear in at my chin but I found thought of peace in a simple thought which remains free so I ask you again set your thought free ”I am deaf and blind to you, ’cause I cant assimilate your sayings… I am deaf and blind to you, ’cause I cant assimilate your sayings… I am deaf and blind to you, ’cause I cant assimilate your sayings”
