remiksattu hiukan 310115

Rytmi on Aina (demo)

A quick one, just to get it out of the way. The song is originally from around 2008, then forgotten, then found and I did some rewriting, then forgot it again, and finally decided to make something of this. The bass tracks are from 2008, everything else early 2015.

Quiet, Son (demo)

"Didn't Know It'd Be Today", track six from the concept album. It's mostly from the point of view of a dying man, lying broken on the street. Recorded solo, summer 2014 - winter 2015.

Kuulehan nyt (demo)

7th track from the concept album. Recorded solo 2014 - 2015. A song about a bus trip, and the title means "Underneath Me It Rumbles".

This song is different to the other songs on the album, as this is the only one not written on an acoustic guitar. I kinda like it, and hope to write more tunes this way.

Like all my other demos, this too is still rather raw. When I find the time, I will re-record most of the instruments and vocals.

Allani murisee (demo)

Track eleven from the concept album. Recorded solo, early 2013 - early 2015. A song about finding a place in life and making sense of all of it. The title means "When the Moon is Missing".

Kun kuu uupuu (demo)

"For the Night, For the Stars"

An unfinished demo, dedicated to all the friends and loved ones we have had and lost, for one reason or another. Recorded solo early 2015.

Yölle, tähdille (demo)

A throwaway song. Good enough so I kinda like it, but not good enough to spend any more time on. Recorded solo early 2015.

The Battle of Ant Hill (demo)

Rest in peace, dear friend. For Nävös, thank you for 2001-2016.

Mellowchords (instrumental)

Made while learning to play the song, turned out okay, so here.

"The Bogeyman". Video @ http://youtu.be/X_R37M7nQjI

A recording made at home, except the drums were recorded in the basement. It's a doomed lullaby from the point of view of the bogeyman. Henrik - drums, Rami all other instruments. Recorded autumn-winter 2012.

The song came to me when I played the first little riff that kicks off the song. Then I got some lyrics written around winter 2011, and the two seemed to fit together right away. So after some rewriting, the song was ready. Still learning to sing this, the range is a bit unusual for me. Good tune, I hope.

Mörkö (demo)
