Our first real song. After singing together for many years, we finally got ourselves to actually record something. 

Adam was playing around and stumbled upon a certain melody on his guitar, and then brought it to me. Together, we created the harmonies and recorded them on his handy recorder. Adam then wrote some lyrics in the shower. After playing it together, we finally ended up with Stormbells.

It's up to you how to interpret it, but one thing is certain; it was a joy to create.
Enjoy.

Stormbells

Have you ever felt like someone couldn't see the real you?

We hope you enjoy!

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

Find 
The real me 
Let go of that reflection 
All this sunlight shines too bright 
On me 

Find 
That there’s still time 
to undo illusions, 
And the mirror will cease to be 


I wish I could make you see, 
though I’m standing in debris, 
I’m flying through the skies. 
I saw it in 
your eyes showed me everything i should be-... 


..-fore, 
I wasn’t sure 
you remade the way you saw me, 
until you started looking up 
to me 

Before 
the shining bright, 
I wasn’t sure I reached you 
and I know now that I was right 


Give me a reason to be me 
tear away from what you see. 
I’m flying through the skies, 
I saw it in 
your eyes, showed me everything i should be 

So I’ll leave if I can’t 
forgive me a reason to be kind, 
I’m not the one you want me to be. 
You finally crossed the line, 
now let me just rewind 
and show you everything I really am. 
Then I’ll leave when you see me 


If you can’t see me for who I am 
I hope you find the me you made. 
What if the one you created then 
Is not the one before you now, 
Is not the one before you now. 


Give me a reason to be me, 
tear away from what you see. 
I’m flying through the skies, 
I saw it in 
your eyes showed me everything I should be. 
Then I’ll leave when you see me. 

Give me a reason to be kind, 
I’m not the one you want me to be. 
You finally crossed the line, 
now let me just rewind 
and show you everything I really am. 
So I’ll leave if I 
can’t forgive.

Forgive Me A Reason

When one of us couldn't sleep, he wrote a line of poetry and sent it overseas to his friend. This line stuck in our heads and later turned into these lyrics.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Lyrics:
All our time is slipping away
let's build a starship
Let's plan our great escape
Tell the truth,
we can't stay here anymore
So we'll go

Beyond horizons,
beyond the Dragon's Nest, fly
Where anything is possible
That's where we'll have our conquest

And when time slows down we are on our way
And when it stops a while,
it stops to let us play
Tell the truth,
can we please stay here some more?
When we go

Beyond horizons,
to find the treasure chest now
Where anything is possible,
that's where we'll find our dreams somehow

Above
Above the clouds
Beyond
That's where we'll be
Finally

Beyond horizons
Beyond the moon and starlight
Where anything is possible
That's where you will find us
tonight

Beyond The Dragon's Nest

Heartbreak and old love melting away. Remember what we told each other we needed...
-------------------------------------------------------

Lyrics:
Nothing is except your heartbeat
And you whisper what you need to tell
Silence is broken by the sound
Of your breathing and a winter bell

Remember you said you needed time
But in your head you solved the crime
Did you like the Snowflake melt when you hit the ground

Nothing is except my footsteps
And the note that I left behind
Silence is broken by the sound
Of nothing as I speak my mind

Remember that I said I needed time
But in my head I crossed the line
And just like the Snowflake I melt when I hit the ground
Remember that we said we needed time
But in our heads we both went blind
And just like the Snowflake we melted when we touched the ground
Just like the Snowflake we melt when we hit the ground

Snowflake

If all you've ever done is run, what would happen if you finally have to slow down? 

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

Lyrics:
I hold my breath, hide my fear
Closed eyes, and covered ears
You're reaching out for your disguise
with doubt in your eyes
Running down your corridor
running faster now than before

Yeah I want to scream at you to stop
yeah I want to grab you, 
but i can’t
don’t know what would happen if you would slow down
Yeah I want to stand in your way
make you see me, 
but I can’t
dont know what would happen if you would slow down

Hold my breath to hide my fear
and cover my ears
I hold my breath to hide my fear
and cover my ears

Just as the trees fly by, like a dream
your head against the glass of the car, and it seems
the window shows the line so clear;
the separation between you and what’s out here

You’re going too fast and too far

They love it when you smile, and when you laugh you shine like the sun
(but I know that when you laugh is when you run) 

Yeah I want to scream at you to stop
yeah I want to grab you, 
but I can’t
don’t know what would happen if you would slow down
Yeah I want to stand in your way 
make you see me
but I can't 
Don't know what would happen if you would slow down
Yeah I want to scream at you to stop
yeah I want to grab you, 
but I can’t
don’t know what would happen if you would slow down
Yeah I want to stand in your way 
make you see me

What would happen if you would slow down?

Too Fast Too Far

-----------------------------------------------------------------
I would run through the flame
And I would catch the wind, too
I’d do all that for you
And it seems like I should follow through

So move along
I don’t see the rain pour
When your clouds are gone
I know I can open my door

They want me to see
The place they tell me is true
That world they show I see through 
Because I know my world is you

So move along
There's nothing to see here
And there's nothing wrong
I just need this area clear

But if you - look into my eyes 
Then will you - see through the lies?
I wish to - give up my disguise for you
I think it’s time to

I’ve been listening to myself for too long
And it’s hard to see that what I thought I knew 
Was never true - and it scares me

But I won’t run - no I’ve just begun
to find the things I was looking for
and I’ve so much more - to show you

I’ve done so much wrong
And change takes so long
But I don’t quit - so bring it on
cause there will come a day when I finally find
the words to say;
Nothing, never mind.

Just move along
There’s nothing to see here
But there’s something wrong
Do you think it could be fear

So if I - look into your eyes 
I hope I - unravel the lies
I wish you - would tear through my disguise
Clear up my darkened skies

I’ve been listening to myself for too long
And it’s hard to see that what I thought I knew 
Was never true - and it scares me

But I won’t run - no I’ve just begun
to find the things I was looking for
and I’ve so much more - to show you

I’ve done so much wrong
And change takes so long
But I don’t quit - so bring it on
cause there will come a day when I finally find
the words to say;
Nothing, never mind.

Nothing Never Mind

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Shimmering white gently falls.
Darkness surrounds her, as she walks beneath the stars 
“Don’t get lost” she used to say
but she still lost her way.

“Tiny lights before me
Will you lead all the way home?”
“Moving on through the cold 
again,
have I changed at all?”

Shimmering white gently falls
The snow is around us, see the lights, glittering
shimmering. shivering, screaming, 
“Hear the storm, I am frozen to the ground.
Longing, still feeling torn, I’m scared of when my path begins.
I’ll make the change within

the tiny lights before me.
I can find my own way home
Has the snow been this bright
before?
Let the glow shine on
Let the snow fall
through my song;
Shimmering white gently falls
Winter has found me as I walk beneath the stars 

Shimmering white gently falls
Serenity sounding, listen close, hear its call.
And upon the frost, I won’t get lost
Not at all”

Tiny Lights

Erik A Emanuel consists of two friends that grew up together; Adam Stolterman and Anders Lindström. 

They have been singing together ever since they met in elementary school where they studied music, and they realized that their voices as well as their creative spirits worked well in harmony.

Now, they create music under the name Erik A Emanuel. In their own words, they want to create music that is engaging, that both pulls you in and surprises. 
They hope that their lyrics and harmonies will reach your soul.
