Bergman, you're so damned good. Any language, any style, you have a relaxed delivery, like Gordon Lightfoot, very soothing.

Smooth song. Really enjoyed listening to this on a Monday morning

what a beautiful chorus. I read Sandy's comment and I've got to say I'm in a similar place. wonderful rich and melodious tone to your vocal here. great to hear new material from you.

Detta är utan den vackraste sång inspelning du någonsin fångat ... Det måste vara den nya "rum" ... på allvar, är prestandan fantastisk per vanligt ... musik devine per vanligt ... men inspelningen är helt enkelt underbara. Så mycket djup tonen ... med precis rätt mängd "sizzle" blandas i. Jösses ... Sverige gillar din mikrofon. Underbara sång Mats ... Jag passerade språket förändras .... du är fortfarande min favorit låtskrivare och sångare på planeten! Människan, detta jävla vacker.


Beautiful Mr.Bergman. Melodic,moving and you have a fine voice sir!! Language is no barrier in music - this is a wonderful song!! Peace :))

Verkligen vackert, jag uppskattar mycket att höra dig sjunga på svenska.

I love the electric piano. I wish I could play it. Bravo again brother. Bravo.

@katherine-chatham: You're too kind, thanks!

Looking at you
Looking at me
Two mirrors reflecting mine
Smiling at you
Smiling at me
The edges of my life define

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But it never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

Laughing at you
Laughing at me
Two notes in harmony
Crying with you
Crying with me
Makes my sorrow taste so sweet

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But it never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

Feeling your little head on my shoulder 
Holding your little heartbeat a little closer
How could I know as you grow a little older
This is a love I won't get over

Growing with you
Growing past me
Taking steps I feared to take
Hoping that you
Never lose hope, dear
This world is yours to make

My life was in color
Now the details I can see
And I knew what love was
But I never felt so deep
Looking at you I see
The very best of me

The Very Best Of Me

THE RAILWAY SONG

I wrote this in January 2005, and have performed it solo many times but it took a while to get it recorded.

Each verse (and the bridge) is a scene from the Ithaca, NY area.

Lyrics:

a flash of gold
a flash of green
a flash of something old you
thought you never should've seen
a flash of alabaster
a flash of white, and after that
a flash of insight into
something gray you'd thought was unclean

rolling down the hillside,
tired and in no gear
the city lights below you,
up ahead a deer just crossed the road
 
you missed the sign,
but it occurs to you that
you are here.
 
you bought your ticket,
you paid the price:
you made your way here
slogging through the snow and ice
the sound and motion
wake you from sleep, mm
but it's the silence
that pulls you in deep.
 
come and dance with me,
i'm sitting very still
come sing your passion to the rooftops
and in the mumbled echo you might hear your name
 
there's only one way
to find out whether
you are here.
 
circling to land
the end of the line
no connecting flights
there's only one way to travel,
and that's forward in time.
 
i had a vision,
it went like this:
a quiet sunbeam
and a forest kiss
it led me forward, but
now it's so far away
and when I glimpse it, it
only leads to yesterday
 
how can i run in darkness, flying into fear?
but if i listen close and stay standing here,
will it come to me?
 
it all comes to this,
and this is you,
and you are here.

Unstoppable

Winter Song

[Verse 1]
I know you think that I shouldn't still love you
Or tell you that
But if I didn't say it, well, I'd still have felt it
Where's the sense in that?
I promise I'm not trying to make your life harder
Or return to where we were

[Chorus]
But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

[Verse 2]
I know I left too much mess and destruction
To come back again
And I caused nothing but trouble
I understand if you can't talk to me again
And if you live by the rules of "it's over"
Then I'm sure that that makes sense

[Chorus]
But I will go down with this ship
And I won't put my hands up and surrender
There will be no white flag above my door
I'm in love and always will be

white flag
