I wrote this song a few years ago when I was feeling like nothing in my life went the way I wanted it to. I kept loosing stuff and forgot about important things I had to do and I also felt very lonely. I felt like I was missing something I'd never had and I kept fantasizing about how I wanted my life to be. That feeling inspired me to write a song about one of the most universal things in the world: the longing for love, and how you can completely loose yourself in it. 

The Strangest Thing

The reason this song is called "Neverland" is because when I wrote it, I thought a lot about Peter Pan and how he refused to grow up. As a child I didn't really understand him. I mean, who wants to remain a kid forever? 
  But as I got older I began to realise that growing up wasn't all that I hoped it would be. In fact, it scared me. 
  I got the point when I didn't even want to grow up at all. It seemed terrifying to me, and for the first time, I actually began to relate to Peter Pan. I imagined what it would be like, if a place like Neverland really existed, and as I did so I realised that it was a perfect metaphor for my feelings: my fear of growing up, and my reluctance to let go of my childhood. 

Growing up is something we all have to do. It is, after all, part of life. But I think the most important thing is to not rush in to it. Take your time. You´re only a child once, and for a very short time of your life. So enjoy it while you can, it's gone quicker than you can say "Neverland". ;)

Neverland

Well, hello there, thanks for stopping by! My name's Annie, I've been alive for 20 years, of which most have been spent in my small hometown in southern Sweden. I've been singing my whole life, played guitar and piano since the age of 11, and I wrote my first song on my friend's trampoline when I was 8 years old. 
I listen to all kinds of music, everything from Katie Melua and Bob Dylan to Kodaline and The Wombats, and you can see a similar diversity among my own songs. 
There is more than just one side of me. Who I am and how I behave depends on the situation. So why shouldn't my music reflect that? I think it's boring to just write one type of song. It's more fun to change it up a little. But no matter if a song has a soothing piano intro or a screaming guitar solo, they all have something in common - me. I write about my own feelings and experiences and every once in awhile I dedicate a song to a certain person. 
Aside from that, I'm a pretty ordinary human being. I have too many books to fit the shelves in my room, I don't drink coffee and I never will, I'm terrible at math and I'm obsessed with people's eyebrows. I have ODD (obsessive disney disorder), I love everything colored green and I'm positive I'll end up being a crazy cat lady. Want to know more? Stick around and maybe you'll hear a song about it. Thanx :)
