‘13’ is a song about change, how you have evolved from when you were 13 to who you are now. It poses the questions are you happy with who you have become, have you accomplished the things you thought you would, and what is stopping you from making 13-year-old you proud?

I wrote this single for my nephew on what would have been his 13th birthday. It explores ideas around the innocence of youth, the experience and privilege of growing older, and appreciating life’s lessons.

I hope you like it!

"Take a Ride on the Ocean" is an unashamed nod to carefree 60's spirit, made in California. The Beach Boys meet the Mamas & Papas. The kind of song I like to write during cold, dark and gloomy winters, in my Berlin apartment.

Take A Ride On The Ocean

We've Got Time

 Featuring the vocal styles of Morgan d'Arcy.

A song about seeing a great gig and meeting girl

We couldn’t stop we lost control
Guess something popped and gave us soul
We heard the beat it beat us up
The bassline grooved and we got down
They mixed it up, they brought the bass and changed their keys
They brought the ladies to their knees

Chorus
         
Who knows how long we’ll dance? 
Who knows if we’ll look back? 
Who knows? The futures never set in stone
I want to take the chance
And take you by the hand
So come with me and let me take you home

Verse 2
The singer’s words didn’t make much sense
The pedal notes built the suspense 
The belting drums, their rocking style
They had the crowd all shaking wild 
They took a break and then the barman played some junk 
When the band sprung in, they brought the Funk

Chorus
  
Who knows how long we’ll dance? 
Who knows if we’ll look back? 
Who knows? The futures never set in stone
I want to take the chance
And take you by the hand
So come with me and let me take you home

Bridge

I don’t recall how much we drank 
I lost my phone ‘few hours back
But I’d some money for the cab ride home  
You looked at me and cracked a smile that 
Warmed my insides all the while 
I hoped we’d never had to go

Secrets I Told to a Sound Hole

The Major Triad Demon

“That guy in the static is me”

Turn on your transistor radios (or press “Play”, if you happen to live in the present) and crank up the volume: Harry Dahl has made “A Crack in the Air” to reach out to you!

The Berlin-based songsmith, singer and arranger loves his bliss with a bittersweet twist and his melancholy elegantly humoured. A self-described “song and dance man”, he’s written dozens of songs, working on giving them the grandeur they deserve.

Playful and sophisticated pop, an abundance of melodies and hooks, waiting to haunt you.

“Come shake your hips/Don’t be shy of dancing, night time romancing”.

A Crack In The Air

“Maybe the odds are long and gloomy
But here’s an oddly hopeful man
One who is never too mature
To visit ‘Seventeen’ again”

Harry Dahl, the wayward pop smith from Berlin, the always optimistic “Song-and-dance-man”, is releasing his second single “A Faller in Love”. A familiar beat with trusty hand claps provide a solid Motown foundation on which Harry performs one of his favourite roles…The knowing dreamer. So, will he get her in the end? Well, get yourself on whatever-passes-for-a-dancefloor these days and find out!
