The most beautiful song of a time traveler that’s stuck in a loop.

[YannExploration]

33 years later, this music is still incredible!

[cesarsantamaria]

i discovered this song before watching Dark and I remember I almost cry when it started to sound on that last episode, Dark is an awesome serie indeed

[holavito]

I cry everytime I play this. I relate to this song on so many levels

[MichaelPchelnikov]

Maybe this time,
Maybe this time I’ll outwit my past
I’ll throw away the numbers, the keys
And all the cards
Maybe I can carve out a living in the cold
At the outskirts of some city
I extinguish all my recent pasts
Become another man again
And have a quiet life
A quiet life for me
A quiet life
A quiet life for me
A quiet life for someone
An acquired life for me

I lost, I ran
I started once anew
In northern grey, in drizzling rain
In salted slush and bitter hale
But the order as always merciless
It wants to see me fail
So the hunter is now the hunted
Past voices call my name
I renounce my past to live again
A quiet life
A quiet life
A quiet life for me
A quiet life for someone
An acquired life for me

I thought I have been given
Another chance again
But heaven lies as usual
I repented but in vain
It tries to cheat me out of my good aim
Take away what I never really got
My quiet life
No quiet life for me
No quiet life
No quiet life for me
A quiet life for someone
No quiet life for me

Even if I have to straighten
There is a life for me
A quiet life
A quiet life for me
(A quiet life...)

Happened to discover this song by accident

But I feel like no one is really talking about how sad and depressing this song is, a man who is trying to repent for his past and just have a quiet life, but the past always comes back to haunt us, keeping the singer from having a quiet life, but he doesn't get to have one, but by confronting his past he can create a quiet life for someone else

It's a really great sad song

[axelnovati]

This song has a strong message, trying to reach something pleseant, but never able to scape from what really is ours

[radhiadeedou]

It's like this song was written for Dark
"Maybe this time" that's what Jonas thought in every cycle

[jaimesinclair]

Such a great song. I should be able to get back 33 years in time in order to listen to all fantastic songs I never could.

[anamaparicio]

It kind of reminds me of Leonard Cohen!! Beautiful

[AA-fnxz]

We all know why we’re here. But let’s appreciate the music.

[elhorrendo]

This song takes all of the great dreams and hopes that never came to fruition, hidden in my heart.
This song squeezes at my heart, reminding me to breath.
And as it squeezes, the tears that remind me.
They remind me the life I wanted, The loves I worked for,
The secret, special ambitions I knew I could achieve.
The secret special ambitions were never meant for me.
So the the picked bass, the downward strings, the lyrics,
The lyrics are reminders that repentance does not bring joy.
And the tears, streaming from your eyes to your cheeks.
Tears come from your heart,
Gripped by the hand of mortal love,
Squeezed each time you dare to hope,
Each time you dare to dream.
The quiet life and the billows,
It’s too late for hope’s embrace.
The quiet life is how we fond out,
The tears just water the garden,
Of what could never be.

[Freakopac]

came here from the future to tell you that this song is still amazing in the future

Quien en 2025 seguira escuchando esta música el tiempo pasa rápido 😢La muerte es el último suspiro de la vida, pero nunca de la memoria.

[rodstewart]

Esta canción es una melodía que atrapa cada espacio de mi ser.
La primera vez que la escuche fue como si hubiera estado desde siempre en mi, esperando aflorar, trayendo recuerdos que dudo haber vivido aun, envolviendo mi mente y mis sentidos. Llenando mi cabeza de imágenes arquetípicas y dejando mis sentimientos a flor de piel.

Si tengo un propósito de vida, si hay algo por lo que vine aquí de nuevo, sin duda esta canción es parte de ello.

Dark was so good. Can't wait until season 2

[Dovahbriick]

That feeling when you really identify with the lyrics; the melody and rythm being right on the spot. Just, sublime.

[gnunzia]

I love this track and I love the work of these two artists, a wonder, a genuine masterpiece,

[J.Chapman-Drums]

I discovered Blixa quite by accident. Sometimes you hear an album and think not much of it but there is something that tells you to listen to it again.
I did. I’m glad I found it.
This song is a master piece, the album is full of depth and meaning. I recommend buying it.
It’s one of those albums that needs to be given the attention of listening.
This reminds me very much of Leonard Cohen.

[tedro]

The Dark series really have a good "soundtrack-chooser", but I'm proud to say that Dark didn't bring me here but I brought myself here on my own. Such a good feeling. :D
