    I’m nervous in a completely new way. I want you to feel the song. To feel her through it. I want to take you to that moment on the terrace when she first heard it. To describe to you how it feels to be thrown between hope and despair. I want to place you on my shoulder and have you experience the moment when she calls me on Skype while I’m in the studio. At first, it’s small talk. But by now she is unable to smile, and she says, “I promised to tell you when the day was not far away. I think it's time for you to come home now." I want to convey to you how exasperating undramatic death can be. There is no symphony orchestra or light at the end of the tunnel. It is just a tired, speechless family gathered around the kitchen table playing Yatzy. / Maria Jane Smith
    Är nervös på ett helt annat sätt. Vill att ni ska känna låten. Känna henne via den. Vill ta med er till den där stunden på altanen när hon fick höra den. Beskriva hur det känns att kastas mellan hopp och förtvivlan. Vill att ni ska sitta bakom min axel och ta in stunden när hon ringer mig på Skype i studion och först pratar lite allmänt men hur leendet inte orkar längre och hon säger ’Jag lovade att berätta för dig när det inte är så långt kvar, jag tror att det dags att komma hem nu’. Vill förmedla hur provocerande odramatisk döden kan vara. Det är ingen symfoniorkester och ljus i tunneln. Det är en trött familj som inte har några ord kvar som kan trösta längre. Som sitter runt sitt vanliga köksbord och spelar Yatzy. /Maria Jane Smith

    ► Lyrics
    In a couple of weeks
    Your hair will fall to the ground
    All that silver’n blonde
    You saved for so long
    And In a couple of months
    We’re gonna walk through the doors
    Inside the hospital walls
    Your verdict will fall
    But for now we just keep praying
    To a god we try to belive in
    And there’s a lot of people saying
    That it’s all bout positive thinking
    So I make you drink your vitamins
    And we try to keep you laughing
    Meditation helps
    And have you ever felt
    Two hands that practice healing?
    Ah ah..
    Then we cried ah ah ah..
    Wanna ease your pain
    But what can I say
    Wanna play a game?
    And we played yatzy
    All night long
    And Just like with your life
    We counted the odds
    And the kids where laughing
    When we let them win
    Please have mercy
    Cause they dont know a thing
    And we played yatzy
    All night long
    And just like with your life
    We counted the odds
    But one thing is certain
    It aint your time to go
    We just need a full house
    And five sixes in a row
    And i asked you to tell
    Is there something you miss?
    Tell me what do you wish
    Do you have a bucket list?
    You said
    You already swam with dolphins
    And there’s not anywhere you wanna climb
    It aint like missing out on wild things
    Is what keeps you up at night
    You said all that you want
    Are the simpelest things
    Just for your body to bare
    And to stay with your kids
    But for now we just keep praying
    To a God we try to belive in
    And there’s a lot of people saying
    That it’s all bout positive thinking
    So i make you drink your vitamins
    And we try to keep you laughing
    Meditation helps
    And have you ever felt
    Two hands that practice healing?
    Ah ah..
    Then we cried ah ah ah..
    Wanna ease your pain
    But what can I say
    Wanna play a game?
    And we played yatzy
    All night long
    And just like with your life
    We counted the odds
    And the kids where laughing
    When we let them win
    Please have mercy
    Cause they dont know a thing
    And we played yatzy
    All night long
    And I’ve never wished more
    Not to write a song
    But one thing is certain
    It aint your time to go
    We just need a full house
    And five sixes in a row

    Years ago my wife and I played Monopoly Deal in a cancer ward with a beloved friend and her husband. We had so much fun. Sadly she lost the fight at 26. This song unexpectedly came on and reminded me of that time and our loss. Beautiful song. Thanks for sharing it.

    I’ve lost count how many times I’ve listed to yatzy , but it makes me cry more and more each time . I feel your pain in your vocals Maria and I can’t begin to imagine how you felt and are still feeling losing your sister . You did her proud as her sister and this song is just the most perfect tribute to her xx

      It's exactly like that. I still remember having a family hug in the livingroom and watching how the clock just goes on. It just goes on it doesn't stop for noone. We didn't eat for two days. We couldn't. The funeral came way too early. About 300 people attended. It gave me a little happiness seeing that she was loved by so many people.

    Cancer sucks, and I'm sorry for your loss. Most of the time I think life is too short, but sometimes it reminds me to appreciate the little time we do get to spend together a little more. Even if it's just sitting around the table playing board games. A beautiful song for a beautiful life gone too quickly.

  • @essi.z8583

    I just want to thank you for this beautiful song! 💔 My friend found this video about a week ago and shared it with me because she knew we were going through pretty much the same thing with my stepmother. And now, a week later when the day for the final goodbyes is coming closer all the time, I find this song playing in my head over and over again and it voices my feelings just so well. Even if the pain itself cannot really be eased just now, I can use this song for support and play it to my friends and other relatives when I want to explain my feelings but don't have the energy and words for doing it myself. Just THANK YOU ❤

    Maria, I am so sorry for your loss. 💔 I am proud of you for staying strong and performing this beautiful song that must have been so hard to do so. When I saw you perform at the Mercury Lounge in NYC last year, I saw the pain you were in from this, but you danced it away and I was holding back tears of my own for you. I'm with you and everyone else as we all say: "F*ck cancer!" ❤️

    Den här låten går som en kniv rakt in, en vers och jag gråter. Jag vet inte riktigt var jag ska göra av den här smärtan. Jag minns alla mina som inte finns kvar och det gör så ont. Jag tar den här texten som en hyllning till alla som inte är med mig längre, eller kanske alla de som faktiskt är kvar. För många finns här än trots dåliga odds. Men vi ska bli fler, det är ett löfte! Kramar!

    In a couple of weeks
    Your hair will fall to the ground
    All that silver and blonde
    You saved for so long
    And in a couple of months
    We're gonna walk through the doors
    Inside the hospital walls
    Your verdict will fall
    But for now, we just keep praying
    To a God we try to believe in
    And there's a lot of people saying
    That it's all 'bout positive thinking
    So, I make you drink your vitamins
    And we try to keep you laughing
    Meditation helps
    And have you ever felt
    Two hands that practice healing?
    Ah ah ah, ah ah ah
    Then we cried, ah ah ah
    Wanna ease your pain
    But what can I say?
    Wanna play a game?
    And we played Yatzy
    All night long
    And just like with your life
    Wе counted the odds
    And the kids whеre laughing
    When we let them win
    And please have mercy
    'Cause they don't know a thing
    And we played Yatzy
    All night long
    And just like with your life
    We counted the odds
    But one thing is certain
    It ain't your time to go
    We just need a full house
    And five sixes in a row
    And I asked you to tell
    Is there something you miss?
    Tell me what do you wish?
    Do you have a bucket list?
    You said
    You already swam with dolphins
    And there's not anywhere you wanna climb
    It ain't like missing out on wild things
    Is what keeps you up at night
    You said all that you want
    Are the simplest things
    Just for your body to bear
    And to stay with your kids
    So for now, we just keep praying
    To a God we try to believe in
    And there's a lot of people saying
    That it's all 'bout positive thinking

    Jag vet inte vad jag ska skriva här. Jag vill skrika högt för det är så smärtsamt vackert. Jag vill krama dig för jag vet hur det känns. Ändå vet jag ju inte det alls. Jag vill skriva nån slags hyllning antar jag för den låten...her-re-gud! Jag känner den. Som jag känner den. Det går inte att lyssna på den utan att storgråta. För att det är så vackert och så sorgligt på en och samma gång. Jag har varit där, i dödens väntrum, inte cancer men annat. Det man drömmer om är inte Kilimanjaro, man drömmer om att få kramas, gå barfota i sanden, doften av nyklippt gräs och att städa. Man vill bara kunna städa igen. Jag kan inte skriva sånt här. Men ändå, Tack! So sorry for your loss!
