Dans le clip Long Lost Penpal d’Hello Saferide, la fille qui joue de la flûte traversière au fond, je crois que c’est Maia HIRASAWA. Alors comme j’applique le principe qu’il n’est jamais trop tard pour (re)découvrir une artiste, voici donc la petite Maia, enfin la grande, car il y’a du Björk en elle (dans la chorégraphie à la ‘Dancer in the Dark’ du clip-single ‘And I Found This Boy’ par exemple, dans sa façon de se tenir comme une petite enfant dans le Live ‘Say Goodbye’, tout en bas à droite, dans ses intonations, dans sa poésie, dans ses robes, son optimisme de vie-sourire face à la vie, etc). Madame Madame, vous êtes bien jolie…

Maia Hirasawa – Gothenburg (2d Video/Single from Debut album ‘Though, I’m just me’)

Gothenburg LYRICS (via Songmeanings.net)

Trams coming in, there´s wind from the sea
But I don´t feel cold, it´s not shivering me
And I thought I didn’t like this city but I’ve changed

Pass the place were I lived in 2002
And I can see the square close to my old school
In the middle of North town, just feeling good
Did not think I liked this city,
Thought I, thought I hated this city but

Gothenburg I came back to you
Now you be nice to me, then I´ll be nice to you
Gothenburg I thank you
You gave me someone to love, and I really owe you

Walk up to the hill, there is someone I like
He has those wrinkles close to his eyes
But they´re not from crying, he laughs more than I
Did not think I liked this city
Thought I, thought I hated this city but

Gothenburg…

R. Kelly on the stereo, a boy is dancing
Around in the living room it´s Monday morning
And I don´t ever want to go home again
Did not think I liked this city
Thought I, thought I hated this city but

Maia Hirasawa – And I found this boy (1st Video/Single from Debut album ‘Though, I’m just me’)
Directed by Magnus Renfors.

(By tinalove on 10-19-2007) I just heard this song a couple days ago and now I am in LOVE. I think these lyrics are a bit off though. Anyways I think that the song is about a girl who gets with different guys to take her mind off the one who she really wants to be with, even though these guys are superficial… I’m not sure that’s the right choice of words but she always outs herself in the same situation and she wish she didnt. Obviously. Well that is how i relate to it.

I Found This Boy LYRICS (via Songmeanings.net)

We sat in the bus, driving around
Running all over Sweden’s old towns
Yeah we spent too many hours travelin’ around
Always searching in the lost and found
Next city we arrived to there was a He woulda tried to find a man that I could love, at least for the night

And I found this boy (and I found this boy)
He knew my friends from home
But I swear I didn’t know for sure
That he knew all about John (Oh John, Oh John)
And Martin and Jim and Tom
I wish I had not been here before

We talked about life
We talked about time
We talked about me, while he was looking around
He was searching for something new and exciting
While I was standing right there right in front of him (hello!!)

(Refrain)

Don’t say I’m desperate – I’m not.
Just trying to make my thoughts on something else than the only one I want too much
The only one I want too much x3

And I found this boy (and I found this boy)
He had a girlfriend at home
But I swear I didn’t know for sure
And he said wait don’t go (don’t go, don’t go)
Can’t I walk you home to your hotel or so?

And I found this boy
He was drinking all night long
I wish I had not been here before x3

Maia Hirasawa – My New Friend LYRICS (via Songmeanings.net)

I got a new friend now
I dont know, but I hope it is for real
But somehow I really doubt
´cause she comes and goes
Can never know for sure

She arrives when I’m alone
She has beautiful plans
And I am always strong
And she makes me sweet and young,
But when somebody else comes
She doesn’t want to come along

I dont know why she doesn’t want to come along

I wish that she could stand
Behind my back and smile
When I don’t know what
I should do, do with all this crap
But she never shows up, and what kind of friend is that

Crying on the kitchen floor
I don’t know what happened
But she wasn’t there for sure
And how can I, how can I know
Is my new friend gone
Or is she coming back for more

I dont know why she doesn’t want to come along
