Tragedy - Malena Ernman (+ lyrics)

La voix du Nord
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When times are hard you ask for sweeter tunes
When days are tough the nights bring full saloons
But when I swing and change to minor chords
That's when the audience goes wild
Here comes the tragedy
The sound of agony
The tears you love to cry
The pain that wants no remedy
People tell me they like me to smile
Bring joy and relief for awhile
But when all the music starts
They love the sound of tragedy
Here comes the tragedy
The death of harmony
The tears you love to cry
The pain that fights serenity
People tell me they like me to smile
Bring joy and relief for awhile
Deep inside your heart you want the tragedy
I walk the stage and sing you've got a friend
I find applause towards the happy end
But when I swing and change to minor chords
That's when the audience goes wild
One I'll direct your success
Two every rule we transgress
Three it's the drama they bless
Four find the spleen at the core
Five it's the tears they adore
Six and when they weep give them more
Here comes the tragedy
The death of harmony
The tears you love to cry
The pain that fights serenity
Here comes the tragedy
The sound of agony
The tears you love to cry
The pain that wants no remedy
People tell me they like me to smile
Bring joy and relief for awhile
Deep inside your heart you want the tragedy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Majestuosa, me encanto esta bella obra de arte 😍🥰

[@raigekimaru]

contralto, coloratura soprano, pop music...what can't this woman sing and now just sing, she sings all of them BEAUTIFULLY (I'm an opera snob, I don't say this about a lot of people lol)

[@eviglivnuindivid1339]

when I was a teenager I wanted exactly that but the people at the opera didn't offer it. Thank you Malena. So much joy and I'm deeply moved when I hear that. With love...

[@veeganboy]

Awesomely epic song! Like something out of Phantom of the Opera. The first I heard it was as an Army of Lovers song. Didn't know it was a cover. Unsurprisingly, it was co-written by Alexander Bard of Army of Lovers, it has their stamp all over it.

[@vellbariaofficial]

That was a mixture of dark art and Shakesperean style of Tragedy. :) This was my favorite song from this album!

[@TheSOLARMUSIC]

This song has a strong influence in rhythm and structure from ABBA. Great!

[@gerchuska]

This IS music and a VOIX....

[@mjjr152002]

Now this is talent! and the only word that comes to mind is OUTSTANDING. Malena is amazing..

[@symonj8]

Is it just me or does this sound like it could be an ABBA song? - absolutely wonderful!

[@andrewphillipson7197]

I love this. She's got an incedible vioce.

[@beluczak]

What true words ;) Great.

[@EdwinDylvini]

[@kurtlugoo4327]

[@lolapepa777]

Bola de ciegos esta vieja es una satanica. Pero las dos Jotas la Adoran ja ja " Dice una jota la adoro! Responde la otra jota " me paso lo mismo!

[@Anti-Prolixity]

Ironically the happiest lament bass there is haha ^^

[@gekost79]

Alexander Bard the short guy from the Army Of Lovers is one of the composers. That's why it sounds so Army Of Lovers' like! But it's a beautiful song!!!!!!

[@djlordk]

I cant stop playing this track lol

[@BUweB]

Just push the STOP Button. Horrible Song.

[@LeighAintree]

This song has been covered for the Army Of Lovers album.

[@KapdBWO2]

I love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@user-nv8vs1ld5m]

Супер!!!

[@SerraPurple]

original track by Army of Lovers, splendid cover !!!

[@JeroenG8]

Erhm, no, it's the other way around: This is the original, Army Of Lovers is the cover version.

[@adam._.malinowski]

This is Aleksanders Bard song and this is oryginal version. Army of lovers made a cover for BBOE album.

[@SerraPurple]

@@adam._.malinowski indeed it is as you just said :)

[@maikolltr]

Malena grande entre las grandes 3

[@dontlookinyourcloset]

perfect

[@lunavi1991]

Cuando los tiempos son difíciles pedir dulces melodías Cuando los días son difíciles las noches traen salones completos Pero cuando me gire y cambie de acordes menores Aquí viene la tragedia El sonido de agonía Las lágrimas le encanta llorar El dolor que no quiere saber nada remedio La gente me dice que les gusta que sonría Trae alegría y alivio por un tiempo Pero cuando todo empieza la música Les encanta el sonido de la tragedia

[@kurortine]

vow. good song.

[@Imp1981]

Gorgeous!!! This is so much better than "La Voix". It's a pity that this didn't got to ESC.

[@Tarathiel1983]

Masterpiece!

[@irenecostigane8348]

Malena would you like to do a duet with me Ps .IAM 62 And still have a good voice Love from Glasgow X

[@penchoso]

PUTA MAGIA.

[@symonj8]

@Phioletovii Sorry, don't know who wrote the songs but I do think they are brilliant - I love all Malena's songs and think she deserves to be much better known.

[@sleepwalkerbsk]

so good song but i wonder who sings the lower part of the song?if it is her voice again i will die :D i love her voice so much and this song and it's lyrics are very good

[@Phioletovii]

@symonj8 I am the 2nd time in a local choir in a village and we sang Tchaikovsky. He also sounded a but ABBAsqye to me). But this song does sound a little bit Army of Lovers'sque ot me though. Or Erasuresque. Lalala by the way who is the author of this song and of One Step to Paradise?

[@BjoernScheunemann]

Certainly, it sounds a bit ABBA-esque and it is a wonderful song but you can not compare it to the works of ABBA. That would be comparing apples and pears. Both taste wonderful but after all they are different fruit.

[@Froxus]

cover?? cover of what??

[@gekost79]

i think that is sounds like an Army Of Lovers song (crucified) although it s much better and malena is perfect!!!!

[@veeganboy]

Because it was co written by Alexander Bard from Army of Lovers. They also did a cover version in 2013 for the album 'Big Battle of Egos'.

[@madjack2834]

Song about greta turnberg

[@florisv559]

I heard some of her opera pieces before this one. IMO she's wasting her time on this genre. Doesn't do her justice.
