What's worse, Satan or Heartbreak?


18 fascinating facts about Nina Persson
Long, long ago, there was this cool Swedish band that used to do covers, as most new bands are wont to do. Like nearly everyone else, they covered Black Sabbath standards. They are so catchy, easy, and powerful, that it's a good way to get a rock 'n roll career going. But the band was The Cardigans with an ice princess for a singer, one with a saccharine voice and looks. Some member, possibly the drummer, said, "I know! Let's cover the most iconic and evil Black Sabbath song, a song so evil they named themselves after it!"

"But how can we make it MORE evil?" someone asked. "I know, someone else must've said, 'Well turn it into a love song, maybe throw in some domestic abuse.'" "Yeah!" or "Whatever," the others must've said. (What's worse, the Devil or being trapped in an abusive romantic relationship with a jerk partner?)

And so "Heartbreaker" was born. Now, no Cardigans fan knows it's "Black Sabbath," and no Sabbath fans know who the F The Cardigans are, but evil is evil, and a rock 'n roll classic is a classic for a reason (or it may have something to do with the Devil's note, the tritone).

Now, in Christianity, "Satan" is the source of all evil, all harm, all bad things. He's like the counterpart to a jerk allegedly all-powerful God who is all "good." But satan really means the "adversary," any adversary, as in divorce court.

"Heartbreaker"

LYRICS: "Heartbreaker"

Lovefool Nina Persson, The Cardigans front

LYRICS: "Black Sabbath"
Madman Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath front
[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] What is this that stands before me?/ Figure in black which points at me/ Turn 'round quick and start to run/ Find out I'm the chosen one/ Oh, no/ [Verse 2] Big black shape with eyes of fire/ Tellin' people their desire/ Satan's sittin' there, he's smilin'/ Watches those flames get higher and higher/ Oh, no, no, please, God, help me/ [Bridge] Is it the end, my friend?/ Satan's comin' 'round the bend/ People runnin' 'cause they're scared/ The people better go and beware/ No, no, please, no/ [Guitar Solo] [Instrumental Outro]

Does this mean we're breaking up? 😭

LYRICS: "Voila"
Listen to me, me, the half singer
Talk about me, to your loved ones, to your friends
Tell them about this little girl with black eyes and crazy dreams
What I want is to write stories that you will hear about
That's all

[CHORUS] VoilĂ , voilĂ , voilĂ , here is who I am
Here I am, even if I'm scared as I'm naked, yes
Here I am in the noise and in silence

Look at me, or at least what's left of it
Look at me, before I hate myself
What can I say that another hasn't already said?
I don't have much, but I place here what I do have
VoilĂ 

[CHORUS] VoilĂ , voilĂ , voilĂ , here is who I am
Here I am, even if it's the end as I'm naked
That's my face, that's my scream, here
I am, never mind


VoilĂ , voilĂ , voilĂ , voilĂ  right here
Me, my dream, my will, how
I'm dying from it, how I'm laughing at it
Here I am in the noise and in silence

Do not leave, I'm begging you to stay for a long time
It might not save me, no
But I don't know how to live without you

Love me how you would love a friend who's leaving forever
I want to be loved, because I don't know myself how to like the shape of me

[CHORUS] VoilĂ , voilĂ , voilĂ , here is who I am
Here I am, even if it's the end as I'm naked
Here I am in the noise and in rage, too

Finally, look at me and my eyes and my hands
All I have is here, it's my face, it's my scream
Here I am, here I am, here I am
VoilĂ , voilĂ 
VoilĂ , voilĂ
