I've got the translation that Sofia posted the other week..
Translation of Documentary: The Making of Mew and the Glass Handed Kites
I am definitely not sure about everything as the sound is very low some places. SO this is base don what I think they say. My comments in italic. If there are three stops it’s because I can’t make out what they’re saying.
0:33 – Entering the door to the studio
Bo: What were you talking about?
You’d read something Jonas?
Johan: Yep, what was it?
Jonas: I’ve just read about a special technique for headbanging which is better for your neck because it usually makes you pretty sore.
Bo: Okay. You completely disagree over there?
Johan: Just saying it looks much cooler the way I did it.
1;24 Singing An Eternal Flame
Bo: Thank you all!
Bo: We didn’t record the remaining good pjeces.
1:58: Opening laptop
Johan: This is how it looks when four serious men goes to work.
The time is twenty to nine in the morning. It’s a bit early for rock n’ roll.
2:38: Churchyard
Bo: Hey! Hey! Hey you there! Don’t stand here in the churchyard making graffiti! Hallo! Hallo! Hallo! He’s trying to hide. After him!
Johan? Bo?: Right! Yeah like that! With the gaps yeah!
Silas: Yeah.
Johan? Bo?: Yeah it’s important with those gaps.
Bo: We have two titles for the record now right?
Jonas: Yes.
Bo: Name.
Jonas: One of them is Syllabus Streetwise, so it’s Syllabus Streetfries. (not sure)
Bo: Yeah, You can easily imagine a cool cover with that name.
Jonas: The other one is of course Circuitry of the Wolf.
Bo: And Circuriser.
Jonas: Yeah, because this is sorta what the record is about.
Bo: Yeah, that’s lovely.
Jonas: But, I rule for Streetfries for the moment.
Bo: Yeah so do I.
5:43: Johan playing bass.
Johan: Hang on.
8:45: Jonas playing piano.
Jonas: Okay. One, two, three, four
Johan: Thanks. It was just a weird sound that came there. Or something.
10:14:
Jonas: Don’t you think that instead he should play like....
JJ: I’m not sure about that. Or don’t you think he’d just find it funny?
10:25:
Johan: So what do you thiink about that drum beat?
Bo: I think we should try putting it in Protune and then see. Because right now there’s 4/4 when it’s slow, maybe it’s pretty cool if it’s faster
Johan: How do you want it to sound?
Silas: Fast in the beginning then to four short beats and then, I think six chords, then 4 and then back to four.
Bo: Okay. Why do you do that?
Silas: There’s no logical explanation, I just.. It’s just what I do.
11:03 Whisteling
Bo. What does people say?
Silas: Bit harder huh?
11:47:
Bo: Wait, wait. Last one again.
Bo: Fuck! What’s going on?!
Bo: I think you’ve collected your...
Jonas: It just gives me bad memories of Eastern Berlin and... I can’t completely. I don’t know.
Bo: To your days in Eastern Berlin.... Underground.
Johan: Him, Günther Walraff and Leif Davidsen
Jonas: I just don’t want people to think we’re red (socialists), we should run....
Bo. But we have red candles.
Jonas: Yeah it it’s completely.. don’t film that cos it’s not good.
13:28:
Johan: Only missing to get...
14:00
Johan: The cat’s play with the mouse.
Jonas: Worker in Paradise.
Johan: Worker in Paradise. The old communist slogan. A Worker or a...
Silas: Parasite. A sponger.
15:15: Albert, the dog.
Bo: How are you? How are you? (Danish translations is So what, so what, but the meaning is like How are you)
Johan: Look how good I am. Way too smart to perform my tricks.
18:23
Bo: Great. I’d love to do that boys.
Bo: Is it Michael down ther? Is it Michael?
19:54:
Johan: It’s pretty crazy huh? He’s just like: Okay, than we do this. Okay.
Jonas: He seems a bit, irriteated, sort of.
Bo & Johan: No no.
Johan: He’s just not..
Bo: We just need to get to know him.
Johan: That’s what I mean. He’s a bit sorta excentric. Super serious about it. But on the other hand I think it’s pretty good that we have someone who plans so much when we have such short time.
Jonas: I’m a bit anxious to what he’ll say if it takes me a while to sing some of it.
Johan: That’s with the gun. The gold olde..
Jonas: He doesn’t seem as pedagogical as Rich.
23:14:
Bo; The time is eight, twenty, six, twentyto and there’s twentyfour minutes to the game starts.. no.. thirtyfour. So let’s go.
23:34:
Jonas: we’ve done ob the last songs. So now it’s time to go home. (not sure about this one)
Johan: On which songs?
Jonas: All the scores and songs are done we just need to...
Johan: That’s a huge part, we need to celebrate!
29:44: In the studio
Bo: Then they don’t show up.
Silas: We’re here anyway...
Bo: Are they fictionate/nonfictionate? It’s hard to tell.
Silas: As long as they’re here and it works, it should be okay.
Martin: I always treat him like this. Always!
44:07: In the studio
Jonas: It’s difficult times. It’s difficult times.
Johan: What’s up?
Jonas: We dont know about.. my situation. We don’t know what’s gonna happen. We don’t know if our label is speaking to our management, if they’re speaking with the producer. It’s all sailing. More or less.
And they’re stressing us to get it done. And we’re still missing some vocals on none of the songs, were missing a lot of keyboards. We need Spanish guitars, which were doing now. Difficult times. Difficult times.
46:48: Kitchen
Johan. We’re packing up. The record is not done. And we’ve been here nearly five months.
48:39; In the house in DK
Bo: No no, fuck, it’s not funny.
52:42: Studio in DK
Jonas: Or is that too much?
Bo: Let’s just try.
56:47: Sofatalk
Johan: So Silas..
Silas: What did you expect?
Johan: Beautiful take
Johan: Jones, how far are we?
Jonas: What did you expect? We have a long way to go.
Johan: Far from? Or are we there soon?
Jonas: Almost there. What did you expect?
