The memory of EZ

Allting har en ände – även hårddiskar. En hyllning till SyQuest EZ135 som länge sparade undan godsakerna från AKAI-samplern. Lars var inblandad i texten.

We had 13 years together,
maybe I forgot you at times
and took you for granted
as a child who always wants more,
but you were always there for me
ready to save some precious moments
the magical moments that seldom occur
You were my memory,
now everything I can remember is you
You backed me up when I was down
You knew the things that I forgot
but the secrets that you kept within you
will forever be lost, forever be lost

With mesmerizing precision
And magnetizing velocity
You strengthen me in my decision
By showing us the futility
In single-mindedly putting trust
In fragile, rotating memory
I will move on, I really must
I can’t wait for solid state!


All the songs we played together
will they ever be heard again?
Not with your help!
I have to start all over again
in a puzzle with no clue
shattered into a billion bits
scattered in darkness of silent deceit.
And even if I found
someone like you, a perfect match
It’s condemned to break, to break down
the years and dust have made you weak
so the secrets that you kept within you
will forever be lost, whatever the cost

The memory of EZ will remain
Anomoly of DC drove you insane
