Pensées bancales:

Mon ami, je t'en prie, regarde mieux
relève-toi, qu'est-ce qui va pas? Lève les yeux
toi aussi, tu te sens pris 
dans un piège
tu te protège

j'ai appris par des faits
et par défaites
que j'étais responsable
de ma vie et de ce que j'en fais
même quand c'est effroyable
Je fais ce que je peux
mais mes yeux
jouent à des jeux
mon mental qui s'emballe 
et déballe un dédale
de pensées bancales

Je fais ce que je peux, est-ce trop peu?

j'ai appris que la vie comporte tout cela
moi aussi j'ai grandis dans cette haine
celle qu'on sème
perdu dans l'oubli
j'ai laissé s'enfuir
l'espoir de guérir

ma plus grande blessure
ne pas comprendre d'où vient la cassure
ne pas arriver à m'empecher de recommencer
à m'embourber dans un tel merdier que j'ai provoqué
toujours décider d'y retourner
inlassablement capituler
éviter toutes responsabilités


dans un dédale de pensées bancales
mais j'aimerais changer
dans un dédale de pensées bancales
c'est vrai
je vais changer
mon mental qui s'emballe
personne va m'aider 
alors je dois croire 
que j'vais y arriver


---------------------------------------
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:


My friend, I beg you, look better
get up, what's wrong? Look up
you too, you feel caught
in a trap
you are protecting yourself

I learned by facts
and by defeats
that I am responsible
of my life and what I do with it
even when it's frightening
I do what I can
but my eyes
are playing games
my mind goes wild
and unpacks a maze
of wobbly thoughts

I do what I can, is it too little?

I've learned that life includes all that
I too grew up in this hatred
the one we sow
lost in oblivion
I had let go
the hope of healing

my biggest wound
not understanding where the break comes from
not being able to stop myself from starting again
getting stuck in such a mess that I caused
always deciding to go back
relentlessly surrender
avoid all responsibilities

in a maze of wobbly thoughts
but I would like to change
in a maze of wobbly thoughts
it's true
I will change
my mind is going crazy
nobody will help me
so I have to believe
that I'll make it

JUST AN INSTINCT

Grew up in the same street
Bound to meet
Kicking cans together
Laughed forever
Went to the same school
Shared some thoughts about life
Growing up was fun and games
Or so we thought

We bought our cars
We went to bars
Laid on the beach 
Life unfurled
Sitting in the park
Watching cricket
'Till it was dark
Then barbecues 
And lemon fools

And when the going got tough, 
You hung on for your life, 
But was it just an instinct?
I don’t think you’d thought it through
I don’t think you wanted to…

And when the going got tough, 
You hung on for your life, 
But was it just an instinct? 
I don’t think you wanted to…
I don’t think you’d thought it through

Then we went to Uni
Kept in touch
Went to gigs
We told the wildest stories
Laughed the hardest laughs
Danced the hardest dances
Trekked the highest paths
Got totally lost
Totally lost

Then I got married
Had two children
Got divorced
Moved away from here
Everybody moves
I’m on my own
With my mobile phone
Looking for clues
Looking for you

And when the going got tough, 
I hung on for dear life, 
But was it just an instinct?
I don’t think I’d thought it through
I don’t think I wanted to…
I don’t think I’ll fall in love… 
Again...
Lah-di-dah-di-dah
Again!
Lah-di-dah-di-dah

ABOUT LIVING ROOM SONGS:

Icelandic contemporary composer Ólafur Arnalds created and released a new song, one per day for one for one whole week during the month of October 2011. The songs were recorded and filmed live in the living room of his Reykjavik apartment and released instantly for free as streamed videos and mp3 downloads.

Thousands of fans followed this exciting project online at: livingroomsongs.olafurarnalds.com

Living Room Songs will now also be released on CD, Vinyl, Ltd. Special Edition CD &amp; DVD and as High Quality Downloads on December 5th via Erased Tapes.

Following in the spirit of Ólafur Arnalds’ critically acclaimed Found Songs (2009) now comes Living Room Songs. This time Ólafur takes the idea further and invites the audience into the comfort of his living room, where the songs were recorded live and the whole process filmed. The songs were instantly released in form of a free mp3 download and video stream- straight from Ólafur's Reykjavik apartment.

IN HIS OWN WORDS: ‘One night I was just playing my piano here in this apartment and I was writing a new song and I didn't have my phone on me which I usually use to record ideas. So I actually took out my MacBook and I didn't want to open like a proper recording program, so I just opened Photo Booth and recorded a video of myself playing the song so that I would remember the song. And I really liked the atmosphere of that video and that's when I thought I should do a series of songs in my living room...’ – Ólafur Arnalds

Born in the suburban Icelandic town of Mosfellsbær, a few kilometers outside of Reykjavík, the 24-year old composer has always enjoyed pushing boundaries with both his studio work and his live-shows. Through relentless touring and determination this young artist has steadily gained recognition worldwide since his 2007 debut Eulogy for Evolution. Ólafur Arnalds’ second full-length album ...and they have escaped the weight of darkness, continues his mission to lure an indie-generation of pop and rock fans into an emotive world of beguiling electronic chamber music and delicate classical arrangements. Ólafur is currently touring with Ryuichi Sakamoto on his Trio Tour throughout Europe.

This site is for my musical avatar or alter ego. Architect/partner/company owner by day, I find myself playing guitar and writing these tracks in afterhours, at nights, evenings, when in need of a dose of guitar sounds. You will find a wide range of guitar oriented music, ranging from Jazz to Blues, Flamenco to Classical, Rock to Fusion. And many collaborations with some great musicians.

I have been playing guitar since I was 11 years old, largely self-taught and have tried different styles and instruments: Renaissance lute, flamenco guitar, classical guitar, steel string guitar and electric guitar with which I have been playing in styles ranging from rock and metal in my early years to classical music, some American Folk music, jazz rock, prog rock, flamenco nuevo and fusion.

It’s been a splendid time here so far, in collaborating with a lot of brilliant musicians on SoundCloud and sharing ideas and the passion for music. 
My collaborations are with musicians that I have a deep respect for and have a mutual appreciation for real instruments, and musical styles that focus on letting the instruments “shine”. 

Here is some technical data:
Currently I am using Amplitube and Auria on an iPad as DAW with Final Touch for mastering. For acoustic recording I use an Apogee microphone.

Guitars are:
Fender AMERICAN ELITE STRATOCASTER® HSS SHAWBUCKER, 2016
Fender Stratocaster Squire (first edition: JV-series)
Ibanez JS100, Joe Satriani model
Evh Frankie Striped MN Relic R/W/B

EVH 5150 Series Standard Stealth Black EB guitar
Fender American Professional II Stratocaster HSS Olympic White RW
Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HSH 2PT CM Mahogany Natural
Paulino Bernabe, Taller de Guitarras, Model-50, 2001, classical concert guitar
Marín, Modelo Estudio /9 Calidad, 1997, Malaga, Spain, flamenco guitar
Joan Cashimira, modelo 145, spruce top w/ cocobolo sides and back, Gata de Gorgos (Alicante), 2015

I hope you will enjoy my music.
