I wrote this song a few years ago. 
There is the first acoustic version on YouTube Just check out my live performance with my guitar(GS mini)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBeDu-J6I9U

And this time I re-recorded all of my guitar and keyboard plays and I added some beats and synth sound as an arrangement. I found the synth sound like “stormy wind” that reminds me of one scene of a war cinema where a white bird was flying away over the soldiers’ heads in the thunder storm . That’s the inspiration of this arrangement. I’ll be happy if you listen and let me know how you feel! 

And another great joy is listening to wonderful remix by labakais16

Great thanks, guys!

This is about how life is constantly presenting challenges. We must learn from each incident/experience and use that learning to try and be more resilient and be able to move forward. 
I wrote it on my 3/4 size Hofner classical guitar. It’s first song! I used open G tuning after being encouraged to try it by Mark Spruce (Original Spruce - great songs- give them a listen!). Thanks Mark! 
Hope you enjoy it. Best with headphones! 
Take care

Lyrics 
My Uncertain Steps 

As a boy, I was scared of the sea
With my family, on a beach in Normandy, 
a French boy told me the ghosts of drowned sailors grab your legs and dragged you down
I wouldn’t go in! 
Too naive and trusting! 

As a teen, I was all over the place! 
Always confused, just didn’t know which way to face
Too many temptations, suggestions and thrills, distracting and wild
Couldn’t think straight 
Couldn’t concentrate! 

It was always their demands and directions 
Had to meet their dreams and expectations 

My uncertain steps
No confidence 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps 
At my own pace
(My way) 

My wreckage of a life, with this chaotic love
Constant demands, you can never do enough 
Mix in the bullies, the twisters and those egos too
It pulls you apart
Breaks your heart 

I’m seasoned, I now know this path
One crisis avoided, another starts 

My uncertain steps
More experienced 
(Trying to find my own way)
My uncertain steps
At my own pace 
(My way) 

And now I expect to see the worst
In everyone and everything I know
Just know how it is, but feel I can somehow 
see it through

(outro) 
I’ve got friends (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve lived and learnt (for my uncertain steps)
I’ve got you (for my uncertain steps) 
I’ll get through this (my uncertain steps)

My Uncertain Steps

Catchy, this tune has been in my head all day! Managing to find the time to compose again is so so good!
Combination of sounds from Logic Pro X, Arturia and of course Ghosthack vocals.

It's Not Too Late

He tests our hearts
Puts us through the flame
What burns is forever lost
Gold is what remains

We are the temple
In Him, all the same 
Every heart must choose
To embrace Him or to blame

It’s not too late
To know the Truth
And find the Way

The accuser feeds us lies
Gives us reason to hate
While time passes
We progress toward the grave

Refined as silver
Tested as gold
God is of the spirit
This world’s already cold

Passing through the veil
all comes to light
Standing in His presence
Who’d choose to deny?

Everything’s not so mundane
See miracles every day
Minds set on trivial things
Divided, we betray

Jesus taught love
Kingdom is within
Let go of everything
Dividing you from Him

It's Not Too Late (Paploviante & Cosmic Keanu)

Dear friends - this is a little song to my dear brother - in - law on his Birthday.
We wish him a Happy Birthday


Kjell’s visa (Kjell’s Song)

Lyrics in English

In the middle of a burning war, a little boy was born
and after a few years
he becomes a tall and stately man
and he loves nature
and takes care of everyone who flies
but the most important thing for him
is the wife and grandchildren and children


Lyrics in Swedish

Mitt under brinnande krig en liten gosse kom till världen
och efter några år
han blir till en lång och ståtlig man
och han älskar naturen
och tar hand om alla som flyger
men det viktigaste för han
är frun och barnbarn och barn

Butterflies & Rocketships

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
