Hallwil is a municipality in the district of Lenzburg in the canton of Aargau in Switzerland.
The Castle of Hallwyl is located in the neighboring municipality Seengen.
Hallwil is first mentioned in 1167 as de Allewilare. Between 1566-1950 it was, legally, known as Niederhallwil. The high court and rights to high justice of the Habsburgs in Hallwil ended in 1415 with the conquest of the Aargau by Bern. The rights to low justice were held by the Lords of Rinach and Hallwyl before they went into the possession of Bern, as part of the court district of Trostberg. The tithes, originally collected by Säckingen Abbey, later went to the Lords of Hallwyl who then gave them as a gift to the church of Seengen. In 1528 Bern converted to the Protestant Reformation and Hallwil became part of the Seengen parish.
Agriculture was the major economic activity until the 18th Century. In the 18th Century, the straw plaiting, silk ribbon and linen weaving industries became important. Between 1864-1971 the cigar industry dominated. In 1883 the Swiss Federal Railways station at Hallwyl-Dürrenäsch connected the village and the Federal Railway to the Seetalbahn railway. At the end of the 20th Century small companies in the service sector and apparatus dominated.
You couldn't be
You couldn't be me even if you wanted to
Every thing I've been through, You wouldn't know
Live your life
Soaking up, all my sunshine
And smile your whole life
I wouldn't know
Eighteen wheels are rollin'
Eighteen wheels are crushin' me down
Runnin' me down
Cars are crashin'
Cars are crashin' all around me
Runnin' me down
All my days are numbered
All my days are grey
All my skies are covered
All my ends are frayed
You couldn't be
You couldn't be me even if you wanted to
Every thing I've been through, You wouldn't know
Live your life
Soaking up, all my sunshine
And smile your whole life
I wouldn't know
Lightning's crashin'
Thunder's rollin' all around me
Bringin' me down
Stars are fallin'
Fire's lightin' all around me
Burnin' me down
All my days are numbered
All my days are grey
All my skies are covered
All my ends are frayed
You couldn't be
You couldn't be me even if you wanted to
Every thing I've been through, You wouldn't know
Live your life
Soaking up, all my sunshine
And smile your whole life
I wouldn't know
(You wouldn't know)
(You wouldn't know)
(You wouldn't know)
(You wouldn't know)
Feels like I'm fallin' down
Inside a fever risin'
Bury my life deep in the ground
Left my existence lying
So let's go
You couldn't be
You couldn't be me even if you wanted to
Every thing I've been through, You wouldn't know
Live your life
Soaking up, all my sunshine
And smile your whole life
You couldn't be
You couldn't be me even if you wanted to
