Øyvind's first song in English. Made in 2003
but somehow the text still sounds current...
Virkeligheten er overvurdert (av og til). Denne innspillingen med Mads på vokal lå på Østlandstoppen fra november 2003 til våren 05, med over tolv uker på førsteplass.
Die Wirklichkeit is nicht immer wie vorher, aber... who cares?
Vokal, gitar: Mads Oppegaard
Fiolin, piano, koring: Øyvind Rauset
Bass: Truls Tambs-Lyche
Perkusjon: Lars Birkelund.
Text/melody: Øyvind Rauset
Innspilt i Enerhaugen Lydverksted høsten 2003 på Cubase/Mac.

Who will pay your bills in a thousand years,
or bother with your small complaints?
Who will measure your splitting hairs,
calculating till he faints?
Drop your little trifles, do you dare
accept it, you're doing fine?
The world is a glimmering golden sphere,
Bring another glass of wine!
G D7 G Gwendolyn dropped her fairy-king G D - Are you happy or just content? A hm Josephine lost her wedding-ring E Adim A7 - but there is plenty of room for rent.

Reality is over-rated dear...
