Chords, or Jens Resch, which is his real name, was born in 1978 in Sweden. He grew up in the realtively small town called Lund, where music became a growing interest at an early age. Being only 14 years old, he started to write his own lyrics as he listened to beats and came up with rhymes to match them. He socialized with people like the wellknown Swedish producer Mรฅns Asplund (Breakmecanix) and by the age of 16, Chords recorded his first songs in the studio.
He was only ten years old then, but was already being influenced and inspired by hiphopers like Run DMC. Nowdays, youโll most likely hear old soul classics, hiphop and reagge coming out of his stereo. His passion for music has always been present, although he has both worked and studied other things along the way. He even worked extra at Juju Records, the record label heโs now signed to.
Formely with the duo Chords & Scissors, Chords is now working solo, with guestperformers from wellknown Swedish hiphop artists like Timbuktu and LoopTroops Promoe. Chords 12โ single, โIdiot Savantโ was the first single from his debut album that came out in 2003, and the first release since being signed with Juju Records in 2001.
Chords was accepted to a university of journalism in the states. But instead, he chose a music career and an invitation to accompany Swedish hiphopers LoopTroop on their tour in 2001. Chords is certain of one thing,
He writes his lyrics in English because the words and rhymes come natural to him in English for some reason. Collaborations with Swedish rapper Organism 12, has resulted in some Swedish lyrics and they've even released an EP together as Smuts & Co.
Like most creative people, Chords strives for inspiration and says he has always written rhymes because it has felt good and not because he has been on the search for a record deal. But when Juju Records offered him one in 2001, he accepted. Chords has previously both recorded with Juju Records founder, hiphop artist Timbuktu, and received good reviews as the ultimate backup for Timbuktu and Dj Amato on tour.
In 2006 he released his debutalbum "The Garden Around The Mansion" in the US, trough Empire Musikwerks. He also went on a critically acclaimed tour with the reggae-group Helt Off which he is a part of.
Lucid Dream
Chords Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Starring you and me the story of two human beings
Intertwine the light divine we spun a million miles
I run for one million more for one more chance to feel that high
Just like times will fly feelings fade like misty morning
And I'm reminded every time I listen to our story
I love you more than ever baby and I miss you sorely
Tell your fam I love 'em too and send them kisses for me
I can't believe all of the love's gone
And all that's left of it a memory is a love song
Now just a soundtrack to a chapter we already wrote
But I would play it all the same I wouldn't change a note
[Hook x2]
If I could do it all over again
It wouldn't even change
I'd do it all the same
See now I realize that everything is for a purpose
And just like seasons change we rearrange we keep on searching
Still I feel like you and I we only scratched the surface
Two of us versus the universe it was almost perfect
Still I pray that we can find a way to hold it back
Before we melt into the ocean like the polar caps
But even if we can't get it back the way it's been
I don't regret it for a second wouldn't change a thing
[Hook x2]
If I could do it all over again
It wouldn't even change
I'd do it all the same
The song "Lucid Dream" by Chords is a nostalgic portrayal of a once beautiful relationship that has now become a mere memory. The singer reminisces about how he was in a lucid dream with his partner and how they intertwined, just like two human beings. The light divine they created spun them millions of miles, and he would run for a million more just to feel that high once again. But just like seasons change, their love faded away, and all that's left is a love song that he listens to, reminding him of their past story. He loves and misses his partner, but he knows everything happens for a purpose, and he wouldn't change anything if given the chance to relive it.
The chorus of the song emphasizes this message of acceptance and appreciation for the past. The singer says he wouldn't change a thing even if he could do it all over again. He believes that everything that happened, good or bad, helped shape him into who he is today, and he is grateful for it. The song acknowledges that sometimes, even the most beautiful things come to an end, but that doesn't mean they weren't worth experiencing.
