Music and lyrics by JMDahlström

Sinister looks and sinister smiles.
You've got what you wanted, 
and now it's time to go back.

Give me a break now,
don't take me for a fool,
I really wanted you to stay.

Is it too much to ask, that you behave?
Is it too much to ask, of me, that I behave?
On this very special day,
is it too much to ask that we both behave?
Da da da, dam...

Now that we're older, 
I see our differences much clearer.
I see our differences much clearer, indeed.

Now that we're older,
you think that we'd be getting wiser.
But it's the same old carusell and affairs.
Yes, it the same old carusell and affairs...

And so it's changes, like snow fall over night,
we find someone - and I hold my breath. 
The morning after, the lawn shines in sun, 
we smile, forget and wish the dirt stays covered. 
Da da da, dam...


Sinister looks

Inside you
Music and Lyrics by JMDahlström

This adventure is so exciting 
I can hardly breathe...
There inside you,
I am waiting, you are waiting,
we are waiting...

A little heart that is beating,
and my heart is rushing

So overwhelming and so sudden
I can hardly find the words...
And here we are sitting together
in our dream boat you and I...

A little heart that is beating,
and my heart is rushing home


Inside You

I am very interested in any comments you may have and please help by reposting if you like it! 

My daughter, Olivia, is now three weeks old and she does some singing at the end :)

Twigs (instr. version of Words)

This is a one take version of Twigs that I recorded with nylon guitar while singing along some words about parenthood. I hope that you like it! 

Music and lyrics by JMDahlström

Words, words don't mean anything to you
because you are new in this world and in our home
Can, can you feel that it is impossible not to fall in love
with you, because you are small and because you are new

Our words, they do mean everything to us
but we're new in this role here in our home

Oh, we try to comfort you when you cry...

Words (one take)

Music and Lyrics by JMDahlström

Since you came,
I must confess,
that everything's 
been going well
To see you smile
it makes me high
I want to be with you
by your side.

Copycat, you do the same thing,
I do - you're a copycat ...

Ba dam, ba da dam ...

Since I became
who I am now
with everything 
that was going on
To feel you near it 
makes me high
I want to be with you
by your side

She's our copycat,
she does the same things
we do - she's a copy cat ...

Copycat (one-take + solo guitar)

I hope you like my new instrumental track!

Hello everybody!

This is a jamtrack for blues in G major.

You can use a G harp or a C harp in second position.

Or a G pentatonic scale with any extra notes you wish to add!

Or just rap or sing :)

Happy playing and merry Christmas!

Marcus

Before the Ice (the Stockholm Sessions)

I got a major blues (improv #1)

I am Marcus Dahlström, guitar enthusiast at night, and expert physicist at day.

All music and lyrics and are written by me. My songs are recorded on a Scarlett 2i2 in my tiny walk-in-closet! I use a Cort guitar (CEC5 NAT) and Hohner harps. The synth used on some tracks is actually my smart phone!

I hope you like the songs!
