Ever After

“I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman, can’t understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each other’s roles, if we could actually be in each other’s place for a while, I think we’d both be very surprised! [Laughs] And I think it would be led to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either … you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, ‘Well, no, why not a deal with God!’ You know, because in a way it’s so much more powerful, the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you. You see, for me it is still called ‘Deal With God,’ that was its title. But we were told that if we kept this title that it wouldn’t be played in any of the religious countries, Italy wouldn’t play it, France wouldn’t play it, and Australia wouldn’t play it! Ireland wouldn’t play it, and that generally [meant] we might get it blacked purely because it had ‘God’ in the title. Now, I couldn’t believe this, this seemed completely ridiculous to me and the title was such a part of the song’s entity. I just couldn’t understand it. But none the less, although I was very unhappy about it, I felt unless I compromised that I was going to be cutting my own throat, you know, I’d just spent two, three years making an album and we weren’t gonna get this record played on the radio, if I was stubborn. So I felt I had to be grown up about this, so we changed it to ‘Running Up That Hill.’ But it’s always something I’ve regretted doing, I must say. And normally I always regret any compromises that I make.”

Tas Placebo čuvax MANĀM ausīm šo dziesmu izvaroja, bet atzīstos, ka nenoklausījos līdz galam, jo izslēdzu pēc pirmajām rindiņām, kad sapratu, ka nevēlos dzirdēt to griezīgo narcistisko baritonu, jo nespēju to uztvert nekā citādi kā zaimošanu. Pis nax, tu, kā tu tur saucies, Brain Moloko, laikam, right?

Austēja (lietuviešu: A u s t ė j a ) lietuviešu mitoloģijā ir bišu dieve, ko 16. gadsimtā minējis poļu vēsturnieks Jans Lasickis. Austēja varētu būt gādājusi par precētajām sievietēm un mātēm, bet no upurēšanas Austējai varētu būt radusies paraža vedībās un kristībās dzērienu liet augšup

No mārkiem, (kas ierīkoti vecā upes gultnē pilskalnu rietumu piekājē) reiz iznākusi jaunava ar širmi rokās. Tā piegājusi mājas puisim, kas tīrumā aris un teikusi, lai viņš to aiztiekot. Puisis to nedarījis un jaunava nogrimusi zemē teikdama: „Simts gadu gulēju, vēl simtu jāguļ”.
