The song "
Jackpot" by
Tocotronic is IMHO one of the best love songs ever written (although maybe not immediately recognizable):
Du bist der Jackpot meines Lebens
Zugegeben der Vergleich ist eher schief als eben
Doch wenn Du lachst
Gehen drei Sonnen auf
Wir sind raus
Und wird sind stolz darauf
...
To translate it to English:
You are the jackpot of my life
Honestly, this comparison is more aslope than flat
But when you laugh
Three suns are rising
We're out
And we're proud of it.
I don't know, this is just beautiful poetry to me, and of course one of the best lyrics I ever saw. And yes, my life is totally Tocotronic-centered. Sometimes.
