Lennart Hallström: Lyrik och Inspelning.

Vi har talat färdigt

My most existential song ever. I have only sung it twice ever. What you hear is the second time I sang it. Harmonica by my friend Airikr.

Lennart Hallstrom: Vocals, Keyboards, Bass, Drums.
Airikr: Harmonica solo.

All The Space

A very self-exposing song open for interpretation.

I've Done My Part

A song from 2010 about a relationship I had last century (not the girl in the picture).

Still Together

A song inspired by a symbol of the eternal cycle of existence.

Lennart Hallström: Vocals, Keyboard
Simon James: Accoustic Guitar

It Takes Forever

An orgy in self-pity and distorted guitars that I wrote long ago about a very painful separation. I finally decided to finish the mix just to honor the great guitar work of both of my talented friends!

Lennart Hallström: Vocals, Bass, Drums, Keyboard
Cattis Bergqvist: Electric Guitars
Max Backström: Guitar Solo

Demons Can't Hurt Me

A song about chiming in, for better or worse...

Chime In

A song about intuition the way I experience it.

Be Still And Know

A very personal song about the difference between unity and oneness.

"This is the beauty of life: you are the director, you are the actor, you are the audience, you are the story-writer, you are all, alone."

Lennart Hallstrom: Vocals, Keyboard, Bass, Percussion.

On My Own

Denna "protestsång" skrev jag redan 2014 och den blir bara mer och mer aktuell för varje år som går...

Lennart Hallström: Sång, Djembe, Bas, Maracas.
Cattis Bergqvist: Akustisk gitarr.

Bakom kulisserna


Ursprungligen en dikt som jag skrev 2014 inspirerad av Dan Anderssons poetiska bildspråk. Diktens bibliska motiv från Getsemane trädgård blev istället en rocklåt pga den kraftfulla rytmiska fraseringen.

Lennart Hallström: Sång, Bas, Trummor, Synt.
Cattis Bergqvist: Elgitarr.

Bortom Samarkand

Sometimes the title of a song says it all, and constitutes all the lyrics you need.
The odd time signature characterizes the limping relationship I was in when I wrote it.
Lennart Hallström: Vocals, Piano, Bass, Drums, Percussion, Synths

I Don't Want To Hear You Say You're Sorry

En finstämd låt från 2013 om hur unikt var och ens liv är.

Johanna Södermark: Akustisk gitarr

Sången om ditt liv

A love song for old sweethearts.

The Passing of Time

A separation song indulging in self pity. 
(It actually originated from waking up one morning with severe knee pain...)
Lennart Hallstrom: Vocals, Keyboard, Bass, Drums
Cattis Bergqvist: Acoustic Guitar

I'm In So Much Pain

A song about life and death.

Lennart Hallstrom: Vocals, Bass, Keyboard, Drums.

Ashes To Ashes

This song is just an excuse to go wild on the drums, bass and rhythm guitars and then add some nice solo guitar lines to it. The way I used to like it, and still do...
The message of the song is "don't get dragged down by your partner - drag them up instead!" So pump up the volume and enjoy!

Lennart Hallstrom: Vocals, bass, drums.
Cattis Bergqvist: All guitars.

Into Life

En enkel sång om livets enkelhet...

Lennart Hallström: Sång
Cattis Bergqvist: Gitarr

Jag är inte på väg nånstans

I have my own recording studio, and spend a lot of my time making songs and record them. 

I generally have musician friends playing and/or singing on my songs, but at first I do all of it myself, using a keyboard and music software. 

The songs I make are of widely different genres, because I don't intend to perform them myself. I prefer to enjoy the creative process and to share my music as a songwriter and producer. (If you're an artist or a band I can produce songs for you!)

The music software I use on my Windows system is Cubase, Kontakt, Real Guitar, Superior Drummer, Pod Farm, Waves and Slate plugins. On most of my songs, the live guitars and backing vocals you can hear is performed by a very talented friend of mine, Cattis Bergqvist.

I like to collaborate with other musicians as well - so don't hesitate to get in touch if you can improve on anything you hear on my tracks. On my end, I can provide you with professional studio time, mixing and mastering, live djembe and of course original songs.
