“Inspired by the Bieber SWAG record I wanted to revisit this anthem about mental health and create a new version. Due to my musical taste I added further instrumentation to the raw modern lo fi sound to build up texture and harmonic interest.”

Its been a long time coming 
I can say this for myself
I only want what’s mine
A simple peace of mind
A simple place of mine, my own 
my own

I will treat it like the last time
On my way to the finish line 
I'm taking back what is mine
I’m not settling this time

I can feel it in my heartbeat
Once again walking down this street
I'm letting go of everything
Living and letting go of everything

Its been a long time coming and I know
I can feel this in myself, in myself I feel it
Sometimes I want to explode
Sometimes I feel I’ll implode
I’m moving on here’s my everything 
All that I’ve got to give

Mirrors With Eyes

New song written by David Cooper and Glen Granthem.

Music and all instruments - Glen Granthem

Vocals - David Cooper

Lyrics - David Cooper

I heard a story many years ago
About a man who didn’t know
What his life was all about
So he just ran around and around

Chorus

Time stood still - He’ll keep on searching
Far and wide - He’ll keep on searching
Up and down - He’ll keep on searching
Round and round - He’ll keep on searching now

Kept on going through the night
Ran across the whole wide world
Didn’t keep his head on straight
Should have listened to what he was told

Chorus

Solo

Chorus

Then one day he realised
What’s been missing all of his life?
Now he listens to what people say
And now he’s found a brand new way

He’s stopped searching - Repeat

Searching (Cooper/Granthem Collaboration)

Oriental Fantasy

Nights Like These

The moon is dark - The weather is hot 
I’m just here - Wishing you were near
But you're far - far away - And I'm left to stay
With these dreams of you - High on hopes they come true

Silence screams - crickets are loud 
Dreams of you - beneath these clouds
Holding you tight - under the moonlight 
The stars don't shine - quite as bright
Without you here to share the night

It’s days like this and Nights like these 
I wish I could give you one kiss 
My head is in a twist
My heart feels a squeeze
For you I would sail the seven seas 

In the whispering breeze - I hear your voice
it brings me peace - it brings me joy 
I have no choice - you're in my heart 
stay there please - we will never be apart

It’s days like this and Nights like these 
I wish I could give you one kiss 
My heads in a twist, 
My heart feels a squeeze
For you I would sail the seven seas 

But I'm alone, it’s hot and it’s cold 
silence screams loud
Dreams of you beneath these clouds
Silence screams loud 

It’s days like this and Nights like these 
I wish I could give you one kiss 
My heads in a twist
My heart feels a squeeze
For you I would sail the seven seas 

So until we are one, And the waiting is done
I will dream of you - 
So until we are one, And the waiting is done
I will dream of you -

On nights like these
On nights like these 
On nights like these 

Eileen van der Schyff ©️

Nights Like These is a song about longing for a love not yet met, that one true connection we know exists, even if it hasn’t yet arrived. Written in the quiet of the night, it captures the ache and hope of waiting for destiny, hearing whispers of a future love in the silence, and dreaming of when that day finally arrives.

WRITTEN AND PLAYED BY DAVID J. SVENSSON 2016-2017. INSTRUMENTS: ELECTRIC AND ACOUSTIC GUITARS, KEYBOARDS, DRUMPAD, DRUM LOOPS.

The music emerged as a spinoff from work on a longer instrumental suite with working name BEST OF 2 WORLDS, and shares the same musical DNA. In particular, two core ideas from BO2W are varied here, one appearing in many forms on the classical guitar while the other one is carried by the synths and futher developed in the electric guitar solos towards the end.

It is unknown when (if at all) the longer track BO2W will be released. Sometimes, draft pieces decides to stay in the pipe, forever... At present time, around 10 minutes have been recorded.

It is a bit like taming wild animals, I guess... unpredictible outcome, no way to tell when further progress might want to appear...

3 WORLDS COLLIDE

In a region in the South of Mozambique, kanimambo is a word expressing deep gratitude. A Portuguese singer, João Maria Tudela, made a song about it in the early sixties of the last century. I never forgot it, and here is my tribute to him.

Kanimambo

Sinto-me doente, e não sei com quê,
e sinto um vazio na alma cansada.
Se calhar é fome, ou coisa estragada,
ou apenas a angústia de entender porquê.

Hoje foi um dia de pés nos patins.
Tanta correria, para atingir que fins?
Neste estranho mundo, de estranhas notícias,
soltam-se os ladrões, prendem-se os polícias.

Qualquer coisa em mim já não bate certo
já não bate certo
porque amei demais.
Qualquer coisa em mim já perdeu o tempo,
bate a contratempo
porque amei demais.
Mas gostei de ti, e não me arrependo.
Vamos aprendendo com as mágoas.

Kanimambo 2

Composer of multi-instrumental music, with a preference for longer, progressive and complexly arranged pieces.   

Have played guitar for many years, but I am probably a slightly odd type of guitarist. Not particularily interested in the guitar genre, not too keen on listening to long solos, etc. I don't enjoy playing for people - a party-killer, in short. However, leave me alone with this wonderful tool (or the keyboard, which I play too), and I will start experimenting with it, searching for something to develop. 

Strongly interested in classical music and anything remotely related to that. I want to construct music with a similar structure and complexity, although with other instruments, and in my own way...  
___________________________________________________________

During 2010-2013, I worked on a suite of related pieces, GUITARS PLAYED BY DS, with every sound played on the electric guitar. A major undertaking, and (all-in-all) 45+ minutes long, all complexly related and released in five segments.

During 2014-2015, the main focus was on the full-format 'LONG INSTRUMENTAL', a progressive work with lots of different instruments and sounds, restless and complex. Some sections stand on their own feet: MYSTERY, and FANFARE. 

The 2014-2015 recordings also resulted in two shorter pieces: CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION and CLUSTER OF WARNINGS.

During 2015 I initiated a suite played on classical guitars - GUITAR STRUCTURES. It is a series of slowly changing ideas, a weave of melodies and harmony, the first section out in April 2015 (the 2nd came 2 years later).  

I played guitars on Tolubai's wonderful ambient piece 'MEMORIES' (August 2015).

EARTHSHINE came out in January 2016; a darker and slightly dissonant progressive piece, and one of my personal favorites. So is SILENCE, out 1st July 2016. September 2016: IGNITION  with TOLUBAI and LET THERE BE LIGHT 22th Sept 2016 with PuppyWolf. 

20/11-2016: The OORT CLOUD PROJECT I-IX. An 18+ minutes long progressive synth-based instrumental, with lots of short guitar phrases integrated. Also, the spin-off PASSAGE was released. 

GROTESQUE released too in the end of 2016. The 19th January 2017, I released the sketch OMMA CONTRAPUNCTUS PROJECT. The 4th February 2017, the track '3 WORLDS COLLIDE' was released.

'Guitar Structure No. 2' out in March 2017, took 2 years to complete.

BEST OF 2 WORLDS was released in November 2017, another personal favorite composition.

APPROACHING: an unfinished sketch released 1st April 2018. TAURUS IV released 8th April 2018.

New Years evening 2019, quickly improvising a track: DECADE. Uploaded 23:58 local time. It was a very fun way of ending the year and I used a symbolic art cover with red sweeping in, but I wouldn't have dreamed of what was to come soon.

One main project this year is the SNOWFLAKES VARIATIONS suite; the Prelude was released in January 2020.

8th April 2020: CREATURES RISING was released. CREATURES OF THE RAINFOREST also a spinoff track (released 2021).

In the Lockdown March-April 2020, I recorded 'Era', out of frustration...

5th June 2020: REPORT FROM PLANET THREE, which was initiated 31st May 2019. 

31st July 2020: FORECAST was released. April 2021: SUMMER SNOWFLAKES, a 25 minute long track and perhaps my most ambitious ever. 

OCTOBER 22, 2021: OUTPOST. Was hell of a lot work behind this, which started out as the "Conquerer" project already in 2017. 

APRIL 28, 2022: The Disclosure (Part I).
SEPTEMBER 23, 2022: PEACE GUITARS. A track very dear to me, much of it written outdoors at the shores with my lovely dog with me. 

OCTOBER 6, 2023: SHAMBOLIC GUITARS.  Intensive recordings!

DECEMBER 7, 2024: TABOOOO released. (Oldfield Tribute)

SEPTEMBER 6, 2025: WATERFALL (part 1). Another part will follow in 2026!
