Lyrics:

Forgotten. this morning.
it never gave fair warning.
the flowers in paper,
but I'm still water vapour.
it's okay, you tell me,
but there's nothing to quell me.
afraid of my shadow
so come again tomorrow.

Isn't it glorious?
Sincerely.
Doesn't this moment smell alive?
I saw the whole world made from petals.
I saw the reason we survive.

the clicks of deciding,
the hand that you are guiding
so dearly. So nearly
but I can't see me clearly.
I'm laying here,
you're laying here
waiting for faith to reappear.
til my lifeboat
sails from your throat.
And I hear you say...

Isn't it glorious?
Sincerely.
Doesn't this moment smell alive?
I saw the whole world made from petals.
I found the reason we survive.

MY DAYS IN EYDON.
=============================

Second time I collaborate with Peter.

Great musician, exceptional lyricist and masterful social critic. All his work is full of social winks, a memory of something or someone or a beautiful poetry, and you can see it in the link below.

https://soundcloud.com/user-264930040

The first time he was kind enough to give me, on top of music I sent him, wonderful lyrics about my city, in which I feel deeply lucky to live. Do not publish this song as a gift, but you can listen to it in the following link.

https://soundcloud.com/user-264930040/hot-seville-night?si=d574dcbb06ff45648b332f9ffaca4522&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

That's why I decided to finish an unfinished song in December 2015 so that I could describe the town where he lives and return the gift to him.

Thank you Peter for your patience, enthusiasm and dedication.


Lyrics.

Ghosts
Float through my mind
Souls from ancient times
Speaking in their song of bones
Through tombstone telephones
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering

Stones
Spangled with iron
In perpetual denial
Of earthly ticks and tocks
Doing time in village stocks
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering
…..........they're whispering.... now....

Earth
Soft as the bells
Old hands forged them well
When you can smell the time
And hear the fires shine
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering

Ghosts
Float through my mind
Souls from ancient times
Speaking in their song of bones
Through tombstone telephones
....and they're whispering
…....they're whispering
…..........they're whispering.... 
…..............but the whispering …..is mine.....
…...................it's all mine....

LYRICS: 
The young man searched the earth and sky 
But somehow searched in vain
Looking for the rainbow’s end
But all he found……. was the rain

And yet within the darkest woods
A camp fire burning bright
A old man sat so gently 
In the glow of the firelight

Are you the one they call the sage 
The one so old and wise
Is it you who sees the way
Though you have no eyes

The man looked up……… and on his face
He wore a gentle smile
You’re welcome here my son, he said
Come rest now for a while

I know not the answers
Here’s no book upon the shelf
Maybe you will find all you seek 
Is there inside yourself  

What words can know the sunlight
Or the breeze upon your skin
What words can know the answers 
Of all that lies within

They sat there in the silence
No need of words to say
The camp fire lit the night
Until the break of day

The young man….. bid farewell 
His searching now was done
He felt the breeze upon his skin
And walked towards the sun

Night of Love

I See Your Face

On the 11th of March 2025 my father, Tom unfortunately lost his battle with Dementia, he was an incredible artist and teacher. He inspired people to be creative and had a wicked great sense of humour. This is my tribute to him. He is my hero and I miss him with every part of me. I am glad he is no longer in pain. I miss you dad this is for you.

For Tom

Lyrics:

Elengy insantillontress,

Ressolon misemolisentratide,
Time to let it slide,
Relent to save time on the side,
Save time on the side.

Tonsättning av Dan Anderssons dikt Milrök II.

Milrök II

En gång i ändlösa skogar där urbergen stupande stå,
bortom svindlande, vida myrar, där timmarna dödstysta gå,
där välvde i smältvit hetta ett bål under stybbade bryn,
där tumlade väldig och vitgrå den fräna röken mot skyn
Där kring gick en sotig mänska med ögon som matt porslin
och svettas hett under sotet i de vassaste vindarnas vin.
Hans själ kunde brinna som andras, hans bröst hade hat och tro
och hans längtan steg med röken ur skogarnas eviga ro.
Han sjöng och hans sång blev röken från ett bål som helt brann ner,
det är vitt och svart och försvinner, det är milrök och ingenting
mer.

Reviews:

"..melancholic and dark singer-songwriter music. Fits perfectly when hanging out at home drinking tea. His debut album "Silver Lining" will be released 2018".  www.eclat-mag.de
