Nostalgia

Hunger

From the second album by Chewing, ‘Songs For Linnéa’, a collection of minimal piano songs written for his first child. 

When my first child was born, I played piano for her almost daily. A lot of days when she was an infant, I would hold her in one arm while playing piano with the other hand. One day she kind of sang along and made a repetitive noise to what I was playing. I approximated this as best as I could with my right hand in the “verses” of this song, “First Melody” that we wrote together. This album is for her, to have a document of the music from the beginning of her life. Making a physical version of this album is so important, so she can hold and listen to this album on vinyl in 20 years. Who knows what music consumption will be like decades from now?

Songs For Linnéa

First Melody

Alone With You

Look At The State Of Me Now

LYRICS

There’s something burning in your chest
Hand on the knife when there’s nothing left
For you to aim for but your heart

And through the dark I’ll search for you
And in the twilight watch the moon
Still shining on, still shining on

Broken ice on an empty sea
The haunted souls wait there for me
In the darkness of my dreams

Frozen sky and scattered hope
You tie your arms around the rope
And hoist the sail to pull you on

Ooooo pitseleh where have you gone?
Ooooo where did you leave your haystack charm?

Hidden cracks in your head
Tightrope walk across the web
And do your best to carry on

And though I’ll never know you now
I’m gonna love you anyhow
And I’ll find my peace within your song

Ooooo pitseleh where have you gone?
Ooooo where did you leave your haystack charm?

Hunger
