Helena's 2007 Dynamo Tour (II): Unused Love Voz Remix and Waterlily Love

Listen to the Voz Vibrante Remix of next single "Where does the unused love go?" You can also go to Voz Vibrante´s own home here on myspace and listen to more! Voz Vibrante = Erik Hjärpe, who contributed a lot to the sound of my album "Dynamo". He also plays with for example The Martelli Tapes and Damn!!

I like this remix a lot. Bravo. Because first of all "Where does the unused love go" is my favourite song on Dynamo. Normally I don´t like remixes, but I think that one´s really cool! It doesn´t disturb the song.

Helena! Checked your myspace a few minutes ago and heard the variant "Unused LoveVoz..."! Very smart "manufacturing" :)!!! And it kept the emotionality of the song perfectly intact! I thought I am not born to like these kind of things, but this one is tremendously good. Who did it??? Lund is pretty dark today. I long for the sun and 5(0) minutes of spare time. Don't you??

Hugs from Karl XI gatan

Hello Adela!!
The sunlight from Karl IX gatan:o) I will tell Erik Hjärpe to read your opinion, he has made the remix :o) He played at "Dynamo" and helped finding the right style. Normally he plays in Damn!, Martelli Tapes and A Camp. A hug from me through the computer!

Waterlily love is a song from Helena Josefsson's new album. It could fit very well this April rainy weather, although it is not one of Helena's singles from Dynamo.

In this song, Helena sings about a stormy weather and about a broken love, full of silver chains and thorns in bloom. The man is a white lightning that struck her heart in two. Now she can't resist him and can't help herself: the love she had turned mouldy as hell. She feels lost: she can't steer her wheel because the sea within has changed again. So she whispers as a waterlily while the gloomy slumber flows out of her heart. Finally, the blossom and the white frost turn to wine. As a bird, she loses her feathers and goes out of her box. Maybe because the spring is there, after the storm.


Et j´ai perdu mon plumage
Je suis comme un oiseau
Je ne me plait pas
dans une cage

Et je ne le ferai pas
Non, je ne le ferai pas

    Silver chains and leather
    and a thorn in bloom
    In this stormy weather
    love came far too soon

    My man he can´t resist me
    and I can´t resist you
    ´cause you are a white lightning
    that struck my heart in two

    Now I can´t help myself
    When the love I had
    turns mouldy as hell
    No, I canßt steer my wheel
    When the sea within
    changes again

    Ears that hear my whisper
    and a rose that´s true
    while the gloomy slumber
    out of my heart flew

    Waterlilies blossom
    and white frost turns to wine
    The mussle we put on me
    is melting one last time

    Now I can´t help myself
    When the love I had
    turns mouldy as hell
    No, I can't steer my wheel
    When the sea within
    changes again

    Et j´ai perdu mon plumage
    Je suis comme un oiseau
    Je ne me plait pas dans une cage
    Et je ne le ferai pas
    Non, jene le ferai pas

    Now I can´t help myself
    When the love I had
    turns mouldy as hell
    No, I can't steer my wheel
    When the sea within
    changes again
