Each monday during the next six weeks I’ll be sharing a “new but old” song that I let go to give space for something new. Starting with this one. 🙏

Imagine your feet, walking in shiny running water. Two confused people and the search for yourself. 🌿

This one I made back in 2013, after one year spend in Copenhagen. Being sad, confused, missing something in life.
It got recorded later on in 2016.

--------------------------------------------------

EVERYTHING IS FIGUREHEADS
 
My feet keep walking down the lake
As I sense the water touch my skin
No one seems to notice the endless depths 
In the row
Coming towards my body in the flow

I didn’t come to watch you go
Way up high were the wind is slow
And he didn't come to watch me go
As I stand in the lake between the beds

His feet keep standing at the mound
As he feels the cold between the legs
No one seems to notice the figureheads 
Anymore
Coming towards our bodies in the flow

I didn’t come to watch you go
Way up high were the wind is slow
And he didn't come to watch me go
As I stand in the lake between the beds 

I'm the one who watch when you're asleep
The one who holds your hand and breathe
Everything

'Cause I know myself 
As I walk in that place
'Cause I help myself
As I walk

Everything Is Figureheads

At first it was a poem. Suddenly it turned into a song, a song that I played at my very first Poetry Reading back in 2015. This to share people my creative process, here it’s always possible for things to turn into something else, something more or less, something. I remember crying while playing it, but not while reading it out loud. The music sort of change something in it. Puts it into this larger perspective – from my perspective.

CROSSING LEGS

I could lay on the cold again
With my hands, bare skin
And just watch the eyes
That smiled

I could lay in the arms
Feel a forehead touch the cheek 
Feel the breath in my beat

I could listen to the words
And translate 
It made the silence
Pleasant

I could feel our intentions
That flew by
And 
With fast increase

I could close my eyes and see 
The resting face 
That went my way

I could hold my breath and 
I feel you again
Just by my side

We enjoyed the time
As we never experienced before
And never will again
And now you’re gone

Crossing Legs

"Home" is a song I performed a few times live as “Ea et Vinnie” back in 2014 something,  but always wanted some more with it. Some drums, something else.  This is also the most easygoing lyric I’ve ever made. 

Close your eyes and see the flashlights passing by as your brain makes knots imagine the light in the dark, coming towards you walking on the street. Forward, backwards, in circles.

HOME

Though it is cold and I'm freezing to death
I don't really mind
You spend the time
I'm not coming home

Though it is dark here 
And my fingers they're numb
I don't really mind
I'm not coming home

You're coming Home
Don't wanna know
If that was your plan
I don't mind
If it was your plan
To waste the time

‘Cause you’re coming home
I’m not coming home

Home

This song is the first one ever dedicated to a specific person as a gift. ❤ It was the newest one, when recording back in 2016 
 
Melody inspired by both some Radiohead tunes and Spids Nøgenhat. This is a try out to make a short song, at last.

WITH MY ONE HAND

You’re laying down in your world
And slowly get embraced by the duvets
Embraces all that you
Can’t save and all you deeply wishes

And when you’re floating away
It seems like you always grab 
On the worn string
That holds you all alive
And I’m holding on the best as I can

With my one hand

How could a thing be born?
So big and huge and only for sleeping
It’s transporting your cause
Like the invisible cape
Through the slightly nightland

The time stand still
Untill the moment
Until the water

Slowly rises up
Just like the breast of a sleepy bosom
And whispered an amorous
And I’m holding on the best as I can

With my one hand

With My One Hand

"AWAKE" is my personal favorite song from this sharing. 😊

I decided to swift the last two songs, haven't decided what to do with the last one. So far I'm just happy to let go of this old era, melancholic sky hanging above, in the process of letting go.🙏💚

I feel like taking new steps, want to create something more deep, something more true to me right now. True to you, US. 🌿

Here we follows my sleepy mind during a rather crazy lucid dream with... Bloodrush. Amazed by how the dreams work, how you sometimes do things you would never do.. 
This made over "the melody" which I always used to begin my concerts with back in the days. The melody has had several songs made over it by the times and I keep creating new ways to turn it into another song. 

The picture is taking from this amazing energy spot in a park in London that some lovely souls showed to my mother and I. Felt like it was the perfect thing to combine with this song.

AWAKE

Walk into the room where
We’re all naked and happy I had
Apparently a third leg
But then time turns forward
To the endless massacre where we’re high 
On dopamine (bloodrush)

The smell is covered with a filthy mist
Their minds are as empty as they should be
Figured out to walk up in the last rooms
With the tights
In the ends fight

The shadows 
They’re trying to hide
But they won’t come along
‘Cause I will hurt you
Whispered goodbye

Jumping all around ‘cause we’re all glad it happened this way
Went into the daylight
Dancing
Reached out at the people dancing
It’s just a question of time before they
Build up a crowd of trees
Of bodies sleeping

It might come to an end…
Reaches my mind
And I wake up

Awake

Performer and curious creature. Here you'll find some old babies I've been hiding for too many years, time to let go to give space for... something new.
