Daremyth ● Hometown Heroes For this week I have decided to go with Deloraine who are based in Brno. Being from the Moravia-Silesia (Town named Karvina to be more specific) region myself, both Moravia and Silesia still keep lot of the folk culture alive and I believe this song perfectly fits into that category as well.

 season 9 episode 2hometown heroes
so for this week we are supposed to send a song from our hometown. this was so stressful for me, because i have 2.
my OG hometown, my ancestral land is just outside of Reykjavík, Iceland, and my new hometown, my place of residence is Aarhus, Denmark.
while Iceland lacks population, good weather and land connection to mainland europe, Denmark lacks in talent, beauty and land above sealevel. Iceland has 4 grammies vs Denmark's 1 grammy, so according to the math, it's 1 icelandic grammy per 95500 people and 1 danish grammy per 5903000 people, and the danish recipient isn't even alive anymore so.... it's quite obvious which of my hometowns are more musically gifted.
HOWEVER,,, i've already sent an icelandic song, and sending 2 icelandic songs in a row is just too much and does not allow me to showcase my versatility.... so i had to go search the dumpsters of Jutland peninsula for a proper good song worthy of representing me.... but omg, it did not take long at all. why?
because there is only one good danish song, and i am so grateful she is an aarhus native, because since it's release i have bopped to it, since i was a small child to me swaying my hips seductively in the gay clubs of Aarhus at my ripe age, she truly is my hometown hero, the sister i always wanted and the mother i never had....
"Kun for mig" (e. Just for me) - Medina
lyrics & translation
The club fills my veins
And hides away all wounds
You wouldn't see weak tears here
I'm alright
The permilles (of alcohol) are sailing around
There's nothing that hurts here
There's put lid on everything healthy here
I'm alright
Only the tones fill my world
I only hear music in my frozen heart
There's nothing that can touch me here
There's no man who can fool me here
Cause I've got nothing left for love
And I'm so done with your fake sincerity
It's over now I'm gonna have fun
I said I feel so much better without you
So now the music is (playing) just for me just for me
Just for me, just for me
I don't care what others say
I already know that thing with the other girls
Now it doesn't mean a damn thing anymore
I'm alright
But when the darkness falls I am
In the club again to forget you
It's unbelievable what you did to me
You did a good job
Only the tones fill my world
I only hear music in my frozen heart
There's nothing that can touch me here
There's no man who can fool me here
Cause I've got nothing left for love
And I'm so done with your fake sincerity
It's over now I'm gonna have fun
I said I feel so much better without you
So now the music is (playing) just for me just for me
Just for me, just for me
So now the music is (playing) just for me just for me Yeeah
Just for me. | Klubben fylder mine årer
Og lægger skjul på alle sår
Her ser man ikke svage tårer
Jeg har det godt
Promillerne sejler rundt
Her er der ingenting der gør ondt
Her er der låg på alt hvad der er sundt
Jeg har det godt
Kun tonerne fylder min verden
Jeg hører kun musik I mit iskolde hjerte
Her er der ingen ting der kan røre mig
Her er der ingen mand der kan snørre mig
For jeg har ikke mere tilovers for kærlighed
Og jeg er så færdig med din falske ærlighed
Nu er det forbi jeg skal morer mig
Jeg sagde jeg har det meget bedre uden dig
Så nu er musikken kun for mig kun for mig
Kun for mig. kun for mig
Jeg er lige glad med hvad andre siger
Jeg ved jo godt det med de piger
Nu betyder det sku ikke mer'
Jeg har det godt
Men når mørket falder på er jeg
Igen på klubben for at glemme dig
Det er utroligt hvad do gjorde ved mig
Do gjorde det godt
Kun tonerne fylder min verden
Jeg hører kun musik I mit iskolde hjerte
Her er der ingen ting der kan røre mig
Her er der ingen mand der kan snørre mig
For jeg har ikke mere tilovers for kærlighed
Og jeg er så færdig med din falske ærlighed
Nu er det forbi jeg skal morer mig
Jeg sagde jeg har det meget bedre uden dig
Så nu er musikken kun for mig, kun for mig
kun for mig. kun for mig
Så nu er musikken kun for mig, kun for mig Yeeah
Kun for mig. |

Evita Manji - Body/Prison
Being born and raised in Kos I tried really hard to find something local even if it wasn't good just to complete this week's challenge. I sadly didn't make it so I had to shift over to Athens as I live there for over five years now so this is another week of me going off the charts although I can finally showcase someone who hasn't been as popular in our circle (and happens to be from Athens).

 PENNY D.LUX
SEASON 9 • EPISODE 2
 Your cheap Highland Scottish bitch is HEREEE!
My hometown is the good old city of Inverness. The capital city of the Highlands up the North of Scotland. Also near home to the infamous Loch ness monster! (Rwar)
Inverness as well as the Highlands overall, is known for its beauty, historic sites of castles, museums and other variety of places to visit, eat and drink. Inverness has a lot to see and do.
This was an interesting challenge and I enjoy a challenge. Inverness is a small city so it was a task to find a singer and song as Inverness doesn't have a massive music scene and most of it is folk/rock music. So after searching I have came across a beautiful singer born right here in Inverness named Katie Gregson-Macleod and her song 'Complex'.
Katie Gregson-Macleod - Complex
Katie Gregson-Macleod was born and raised in Inverness with a love and passion for music with the help of having musical parents.
When she was home for the holidays from University, working in her local coffee shop, Perk, TikTok turned Katie’s life upside down, literally overnight. On the evening of August 4th, having written a raw break-up song called ‘complex’ in a couple of hours on the family piano days earlier, she posted 45 seconds of the chorus to the platform that she had learnt to use in lockdown and went to bed. By morning, tens of thousands had shared it and hundreds of covers had already been posted.
The reason for choosing this powerful song is the emotion, vulnerabilty and power that is conveyed in it. "Complex" is a raw and introspective track that delves into the turbulent journey of coming of age. The song was the culmination of months, if not years, of Gregson-MacLeod's life experiences. She's describes her going through very much a one sided relationship where she is trying so hard but not getting anything back.
"But I'm wearing his boxers, I'm being a good wife.
We won't be together, but maybe the next life.
I need him like water, he lives on a landslide.
I cry in his bathroom, he turns off the big light."
I see that for me, I translate this song to my own views of Inverness. As someone visiting, Inverness is a beautiful city and you think you have everything you wished and desired for. However for someone like me who has lived here for many years and around the Highlands. There isn't much there on offer, when you compare to the bigger and busier cities. In Inverness, You are always trying to find something that gives you purpose and you feel like your always bored and on a constant strained routine of work, go home, dinner, sleep and repeat. Many times, I've felt lost, thinking is this all life has to offer here? The opportunities are slim and its a mission to be recognised or seen, as Inverness feels like an outsider city in comparison to not just Scotland, but to the whole of the UK.
Katie describes what its like to live in the Highlands, "It’s what you think of when you think of the highlands … it’s cold and it’s pretty remote, but I feel very very lucky to have lived there my whole life,”
"Now I'm watching as I waste away my days and then.
It's a cross disolve, it's a scene I've played before".
I relate so much to this song because life is Complex especially living in a rural city like Inverness where opportunities are limited and more of a journey to finding your truth and purpose. But what Katie has proven and shown is that anything can happen and you can make a name for yourself in Inverness, she has made myself and Inverness, very proud.
Anything in life is possible when you put your mind and heart to it!
Lyrics in Spoiler
I'm 21
The edge is razor-thin
Between being numb
And feeling everything
Good days only serve as relief again
Now I'm watching as I
Waste away my days and then
It's a cross dissolve
It's a scene I've played before
And the leading role that I thought I'd hold
Doesn't listen to me anymore
But I'm wearing his boxers
I'm being a good wife
We won't be together
But maybe the next life
I need him like water
He lives on a landslide
I cry in his bathroom
He turns off the big light
I'm being the cool girl
I'm keeping it so tight
I carry him home while
My friends have a good night
I need him like water
He thinks that I'm alright
I'm not feeling human
I think he's a good guy
But it's complex
It's a complex
It's a complex
I'm a complex
Triangular
I can see them now
Three points at which
I let myself down
I was just a girl
What's the excuse now?
Too regular, this pattern
I've been taking shelter in
Reaching new highs
When I was 19
I wanted to die
Now I just want to kill you
But I don't want to paint you the victim
And I talk a good game
I'd die for just the promise you'd listen
But I'm wearing his boxers
I'm being a good wife
We won't be together
But maybe the next life
I need him like water
He lives on a landslide
I cry in his bathroom
He turns off the big light
I'm being the cool girl
I'm keeping it so tight
I carry him home while
My friends have a good night
I need him like water
He thinks that I'm alright
I'm not feeling human
I think he's a good guy
But it's complex
It's a complex
It's a complex
I'm a complex

Season 9: Episode 2 - Hometown Heroes
"İstikrarlı Hayal Hakikattir (Constant Imagination is Reality)"Gaye Su Akyol Even though it has almost been two years since I have moved to Paris, Istanbul still holds my heart. As the melting pot of diversity - let it be nationalities, gender identity or history, it has endless aspects to it that if I started to explain would not finish for hours. Therefore, I decided to send this song since not only it sonically represents Turkish & Istanbulites beautifully, but also because its music video is also everything Istanbul. Throughout the song, she navigates through the ranges of classic Turkish music: oud, bağlama, cümbüş; but also embraces modernity: electric guitar, electro sounds, brass and rather greasy bass lines. The clip, which we see her as the driver of the classic Istanbul transport minibus that takes her on a journey by bringing together people with different ethnic origins, beliefs, sexual orientations and lifestyles inside. In the lyrics, she expresses the idea that in an increasingly chaotic world, it is necessary to "create a counter-reality", and that for that the best solution is "constant reverie". This is something that I experienced my whole life as someone who lived in Istanbul (in the exact municipality where she was also raised), and I am still continuing to do so in my current hometown. Nurturing such rock ‘n’ roll fantasies in a country like Turkey is a bold proposition; particularly since in the last few years our country’s headlines are mostly dominated by our questionable geopolitical standing and dismal human-rights violations rather than its exceptional music output. So, this song feels like a fresh and needed breath - and I am proud to call her my hometown hero. Lyrics Oof! What a life
What a mind
Puts you under bastinado
We flow like a brook
We float in the woe
Yeah we fly ‘cos we are pretty
Consistent fantasy is reality
Is there death or is it a dream (there is death, life is a rock’n roll)
Let my woes pour into yours
Wish your wine of love filled with reveries
You tell my guitar, I am tired
Couldn’t fit in, everywhere I was exiled
We are like gulls befitting the sea
We go wherever the wind blows
Consistent fantasy is reality
There is death and this is a dream
Let my woes pour into yours
Hey shake it, life is rock’n roll |
