Den kanadiske musikeren Kate McGarrigle døde denne uka. Hun ble bare 63 år. På bildet ser du henne og søstera Anna fra de glade 70-åra da de slo igjennom med sitt første album i 1976.
Friske komp, strålende enkle tekster som vi gikk og sang på. Her er teksten til legendariske Heart like a Wheel, der jeg særlig husker linja 'if you bend it, it can't be mended'. Sant nok - i hvert fall for hjulet sin del. Men jeg håper likevel at hjertesorg kan leges - over tid. Trist er det uansett.
Bildet har jeg lånt hos Dagsavisen. Søstrene ligger i elgammelt opptak på youtube.
Det er virkelig til å bli nostalgisk av. Takk til to flotte damer som har betydd mye for min musikkglede i snart 35 år.

Heart Like A Wheel
Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can't mend it
And my love for you is like a sinking ship
My heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean
They say that death is a tragedy
It comes once and then it's over
But my one only wish is for that deep dark abyss
For what's the use of living with no true lover
And it's only love and it's only love
That can break a human being
and turn him inside out
That can break a human being
and turn him inside out
When harm is done no love can be won
I know it happens frequently
What I can't understand please
God hold my hand
Is why it should have happened to me
And it's only love and it's only love
That can break a human being
and turn him inside out
That can break a human being
and turn him inside out
Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can't mend it
And my love for you is like a sinking ship
My heart is on that ship out on mid-ocean
And it's only love and it's only love
And it's only love it is only love
And it's only love it is only love
And it's only love it is only love
Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can't mend it
And my love for you is like a sinking ship
My heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean
They say that death is a tragedy
It comes once and then it's over
But my one only wish is for that deep dark abyss
For what's the use of living with no true lover
And it's only love and it's only love
That can break a human being
and turn him inside out
That can break a human being
and turn him inside out
When harm is done no love can be won
I know it happens frequently
What I can't understand please
God hold my hand
Is why it should have happened to me
And it's only love and it's only love
That can break a human being
and turn him inside out
That can break a human being
and turn him inside out
Some say the heart is just like a wheel
When you bend it you can't mend it
And my love for you is like a sinking ship
My heart is on that ship out on mid-ocean
And it's only love and it's only love
And it's only love it is only love
And it's only love it is only love
And it's only love it is only love

Disse søstrene har betydd utrolig mye for meg og min bedre halvdel. Vi fikk nyheten om dødsfallet på vei inn til Oslo i bilen vår, og ble bare sittende og stirre foran oss i 15 minutter uten å snakke. For en gave Kate har vært til alle (musikk) elskere verden over...
Nå benytter vi dagene til å høre gjennom hele katalogen hennes. 10 strålende album.
Snakket med Anders om det samme i telefonen, - så rart hvordan en stemme (og i dette tilfelle to) kan bety så mye.
Også bare 63 år, - livet er ikke et rettferdig sted.
