For years it has been on my mind and heart to offer people the opportunity to bring home a little bit of me and my music. This product has come to life through many hours of effort and a great amount of love. The stories in these songs are all inspired by the life I have been living and of the life I am trying to live. It is my wish that this product will bring hope to people who find themselves in a world full of brokenness and pain. More so I wish to honor God the almighty and His Son Jesus Christ for all He has given me.

If not for the help and support from friends and family this EP would never have seen the light of day. Thank you Dorit for giving me the freedom to go to Nashville for three months and supporting me in this ludicrous project. Thank you mom and dad for supporting me financially. To Devon, Becki and Reegan DeVries for letting me be part of their family for three months. For Søren Kjeldgaard for taking the long trip to Nashville to make some amazing photos. To the producers for letting me be me. All glory to God for leading me on His path.

All songs written by Broder A (aka Andreas Hejslet). Recorded in the fall of 2010 in Nashville with an amazing team from Global Genius Productions.

In Denmark we have a saying when someone is really hard to work with. We say: "He is really heavy to dance with".

The story in this song sets at a small café. You will hear the voice of a man who talks to his friend about relationship, and the friend talks back through a trumpet. The talking man seams to know how things are done, but life is never that simple. So who is really the heavy dancer?

We all make decisions. Sometimes they are good sometimes they are bad. When I wrote this song i needed to make a decision weather I would dare to believe in God or not. Is he really there. Is he really love. Is it really true that Jesus died and rose again for mankind?

My heart does not easlily believe such things, so for me this step of faith was like standing on a brink not knowing weather the wind would carry me over to the other side.

The Brink Decision

Brink Decision

Life is a battle. That's just how it is. When it hurts the most, there is a very good reason to keep going. There is joy on the other side.

I Won't Give Up

He was a man of pity
Who used the days to drift
He wasn't wise or witty
And had no special gifts

He wasn't educated
Had no athletic pose
His voice was overrated
And so the story goes

	But he had the gift of love
	And he gave it to me
	Now I can sing this song
	For all of us to see

They say he had a vision
To love until the end
A fools ill-fated mission
I'd never comprehend

He met me at the corner
Of Drought and Hopeless street
He gave me of his water
Despite my cold deceit

	'Cause he had the gift of love
	And he gave it to me
	Now I can sing this song
	For all of us to see

He knew I once abandoned
His house in pure despise
That was when he first commanded me
To rid me of my lies

Then he tried a couple times
To put loving into rhymes
And he was looking for some signs
All in vain

He forgot those words again
Just to love and be a friend.
Instead he wanted to explain
All in vain

Then he remembered...

	He had the gift of love
	And he gave it back to me
	Now I can sing this song
	For all of us to see

	Oh, his love
	He gave it to me
	Now I can sing this song
	For all of us to see

We have the gift of love
