about

Perafita is a Catalan wine from a beautiful vineyard near the coast which I visited in March 2019, just before covid hit us. It was an extremely windy day. The lyrics have nothing at all to do with this stunning place, but the main riffs got written under the influence of this gorgeous full bodied red wine.

I’ll translate some key words as it’s unlikely you’ll know Finnish;
Maailman mestari = Master of the world
Maailman mestaaja = Decapitator of the world

I once engaged in a conversation with an old colleague of mine about the EU. They were very good at pointing out what doesn’t work - but had no solutions to offer. Their opinion was mostly based on false facts and something that they had read in a shitty newspaper and hadn’t bothered to fact-check. Another time I got talking to a (well actually, he came over to talk to me) dude who was very quick to blame others for their own plunders and misfortune. Their arguments had zero ground, and were not based in any sort of reality.

I think we as a human race have made, and are still making, incredible incremental progress. We do not thrive under authoritarian leaders, we do not thrive when isolated from everyone else, from the world. We certainly do not thrive on hate and fear.

These conversations got me thinking. The folks that support some of these far-right parties seem to want a strong leader, someone who will lead us all to some sort of salvation and fix all the world's problems magically with usually inhumane, racist, questionable ‘solutions’. And they, persuaded by a ‘master of the world’, even smirk at the joy of someone else's suffering. And then things come crashing down. Then they realise maybe there are better ways of solving problems and the people they have supported are the decapitators of the world.

And then after writing the lyrics - we’re entering slightly weird coincidence territory here - I heard that in Finland some of the right-wing party voting people actually call the party leader “Mestari”, Master. What the actual fuck?

lyrics

Kun maailman mestari
Puhui korkealla
Joitain sanoja
Johtaja suolsi

Tartuitko toimeen
Luulitko vääräksi
Puhuitko suusi
Uskoitko todeksi

Maailman mestaaja
Maailman mestaaja
Maailman mestaaja

Kun maailman mestaaja
Vihdoin valtasi
Silloin syttyi
Ajatus uusi

Kun kuulit väärästä
Hirveistä teoista
Suositko samalla
Vienolla hymyllä

Maailman mestaaja
Maailman mestaaja
Maailman mestaaja
