Nice little splattering of harmonics!! Beautifully arranged piece

@geza-man: Many thanks for listening and for your encouraging comments.

Hedges on the harmonics I hear as the influence - in succession these songs gain complexity but keep the directness of your lyrics.  Great Songwriting and performance - diggin it - love your cloud!

A lovely, intimate tune. Sweet melancholy.

wonderful guitar, like how you put this song together

Away, far away or just fear away?
[Recorded in Hamburg 2013-2015]

Silhouette

Music and lyrics by J. Marcus Dahlström.

We may think that there's tomorrow
That it will be most like yesterday
We may think that it will be, 
most likely, like yesterday 

Yes, we may think that we have tomorrow
To solve our troubles of today
We may think that it will be,
a simple task, another day 

But today, I really wished I had told you
Already told you how I feel
That I had thrown, my precaution to the side,
So I could love you everyday . . .

Tomorrow

Where has it gone to,
this comfort that we are looking for
Where has it gone to,
did it go where we can't follow?

So here I've been sitting, thinking: 
everything will gladly come to me
But where will that take me,
will I go where you can't follow?

Now where are you hinding,
under pillows and a blanket,
Under the stars, say:
where are you hiding,
did you go where I can't find you?

I wish that I could find you here,
so we wouldn't be alone ...

Again, alone

To see what happens:
Music and lyrics by J. Marcus Dahlström

You followed me day, 
you followed me night
Even after we parted, 
you still followed me around
Now I know with these things, 
I know it takes time
So walk on cautiously, my love

An adventure for us both
Something that we've never done before
But let's do it anyway,
just to see what happens

I took you for granted, 
I know that I did
Well, I was young 
back then and so naive
Now I know with this things, 
I know it takes time
So walk on cautiously, my love

An adventure for us both
Something that we've never done before
But let's do it anyway,
just to see what happens.

Oonazoona - A Joke From Hell

ODEGARD is a Danish/Norwegian singer-songwriter currently based in Denmark. Folk/Rock/Alternative. Gigs in Sweden, Iceland, Germany and Denmark. This is a Lo-Fi preview of "White Walls" (2015) written in Finland/Sweden.

Lyrics (preview):

White wall you say.
Brings imagination to mind.
I think I know what you mean.
As I looked into your eyes.

Now would you believe?
I wrote a song for you.
You made me lose my ground.
I was unprepared.

As I hear your steps.
On the old wooden floor.
The sound is fading out.
As we're walking though the door.

Now if you feel fine.
I will feel fine too.
You say the world is small.
And we'll follow though.

Chorus:
If I had a choice.
I would stay right here.
And listen to you talk profound and wise.
If I had a choice.
I would freeze the time.
To make sure to save tonight.

White Walls (Acoustic Lo-Fi Preview)

ODEGARD is a Danish/Norwegian singer-songwriter currently based in Denmark. Folk/Rock/Alternative. Gigs in Sweden, Iceland, Germany and Denmark. This is a Lo-Fi preview of "Inner Storms" (January 2018) written in Finland.

Lyrics (preview):

All alone on the sandy shore.
Shiny stars you just can't ignore.
Sound of waves makes you fall asleep.
Thinking how could I sink so deep.

Close your eyes and dream away.
Find a place where you feel you belong.
Take my hand, I'll guide you there.
Don't be afraid, I'll stay if you want me to.

Chorus:
Fighting with your inner storms.
Don't let toxic people pull you down.
Life is short and time is fast.
Don't go waste it, let go of your broken past.

Walk upright in a steady speed.
Go ahead now find your street.
Look around maybe we will meet.
Until then do what ever you need to do.

ONE FOR THE ROAD

Too Late

Written and performed by Michelle Leverette and Bob Porri
copyright 2019 by Bob Porri and Michelle Leverette https://soundcloud.com/michelleleverettemusic

I’m a white wall
I’m a blank slate
Got no fears
No love, No hate
I need a good book
And a warm cup
Got not regrets 
Got nothing but luck

Cause It’s too late for this
Yah it’s a little too late for this

Too late to stop the dying 
Too late to dream what might be
Too late to hope for something more than we’ve seen
Too late to hold for probably
Too late to start the cryin'
Too late to wish for all the things we used to be
But it’s not too late for me

I’m crawling up 
I’m climbing out
Time to move
No time to doubt
I’m kicking up 
Dust beneath my boots
Shake it off
That’s what I do

Too late to stop the dying 
Too late to dream what might be
Too late to hope for something more than we’ve seen
Too late to hold for probably
Too late to start the cryin'
Too late to wish for all the things we used to be
But it’s not too late for me

Too late to start the crying
Too late to dream what might be
Too late to hope for something more than what we’d be

Too late to stop the dying 
Too late to dream what might be
Too late to hope for something more than we’ve seen
Too late to hold for probably
Too late to start the cryin'
Too late to wish for all the things we used to be
But it’s not too late
No, it’s not too late
For me

Too Late (with Michelle Leverette)

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!

/ Marcus
