Sara is nearly unconscious. Like hypnotized. Like a puppet. living without the strong will that made her who she used to be.
 
There is a strange creature looking after her. Thin and tall. Ugly. Each time her feelings start to boil up this creature comes to her. Smiling.
 
     “Shush little one, everything is ok. You don’t need to suffer anymore, I’ll take care of you”.. Shhhh… There you go….”
 
It caresses her and puts her in the stale state it wants her to be.
 
The creature doesn’t want her to leave. It needs her where she is right now. And to stay put. Nothing to disturb her…
 
     “SILENCE!!”
 
Sarah kind of likes this “caring” the creature is giving her. It makes her feel numb, which is what she feels she wants. But it doesn’t keep the loving and sweet feelings to pop out every now and then, a glimpse of hope and happiness.
 
     “Shhhh my dear, you don’t need this. You need to rest, shhhh, here…”
 
The fire burning inside of Sara is too strong. There’s people who love and need her. She wants to live! She fights off the creature in a moment of clarity.
 
The creature approaches her with it’s smiles and words, with the promise of a peaceful life. It is tempting, but Sara does not accept it. She can’t accept it. It is her fate that she  needs to accept, and move on.
 
Sara wakes up.

Lyrics:

And just with a little smile
You turn around and the puppet starts to cry
With a little smile
You look at it and then it sleeps for a while
The falling light dreams, can make it stop from whining
Don't wake up, 'cause if do so you may start leaving

Please need some silence

Now but the smile never leaves
It just stands there taking care of your dreams
You know it will not leave
So you breathe low and have nothing to fear
But time's running out
Smoke makes you breath uneasy
Must go now, fate is something you may not start regretting

Now but you were not aware
It's doing something you thought it wouldn't dare
You were not aware, that when you turned around it wasn't there
It left you alone
Can believe that it's laughing?
Tears can be spared
When something you could find will truly be smiling

Three SIdes of a Tragedy II

Depression Aid

Man From the Box is a dynamic conceptual prog rock band hailing from the vibrant musical landscape of Gothenburg, Sweden. Started in 2018, as a solo project, the band has quickly carved out a unique niche, blending the intricate, expansive elements from progressive rock, the introspective edge of alternative rock, the gritty essence of grunge, and, sometimes, a bit of the powerful intensity of metal.

​

Man From the Box takes listeners on a sonic journey through intricate musical landscapes, profound lyrical themes, and a seamless fusion of genres. With their innovative sound and relentless passion, they continue to push the boundaries of modern rock music.

Or maybe you saw and heard him moving through the city while playing his acoustic guitar with his friend and musical teammate. Playing and singing songs from The Beatles and Pink Floyd, to Cat Stevens, Soda Stereo and Nirvana. Maybe you paid them for their performance in money... or in beer.

After a long 20 years retirement from music (because life), he came back as Man from the Box. With a similar and refreshed music style and thrilled to start working with music again. Still loyal to the rock, progressive and experimental genres, Man from the Box plays music that feels eclectic, yet direct and personal, merging personal lyricism with unpredictable arrangement.
 
The now Sweden-based artist mastered the skill of blending insightful production values with skilled musicianship and great vocal performances.

“I never stopped thinking and dreaming in music. I feel such a big relief now that I started composing and producing again. It is never late.”

Composer, Singer/Songwriter of ethereal folk, dreamy ambient and chilled out electronica .

I first started posting my music on Soundcloud in late 2012. 

I've found it to be a very inspiring and supportive community of music creators. 

I have also made friends with great people and collaborated with some really talented artists on here.

Thanks to all who support - It means a lot to me :)

We now have a new band: Radio Moonglow. And we have an otherworldly new project in the works! Follow our progress and keep up with updates on instagram. 

Under our former name "Kahlil's Razor," our album "Parables and Patience" was released July 2020 and the vinyl copies quickly sold out. We'll be making a larger pressing for the new "Radio Moonglow" album, and can't wait to share it.
