Swedish pop artist Marcus Lindeberg presents us with "Aretha Franklin", an upbeat memory of a summer in Paris. The song’s bouncy melody and mid-tempo pop sound bring Maroon 5 to mind. Produced by Jonathan Thorpenberg, also known as The Unguided’s frontman.  

"This is a song about one night in Paris when my best friend and I visited a friend and her twin sister", Lindeberg explains. "We sat on a rooftop all night, drank wine, smoked cigarettes, and sang to old classics such as Aretha Franklin."

Summertime Sadness - JML (remix)

Swedish pop artist Marcus Lindeberg is set to release his latest single, "Whisper In Your Right Ear," on March 8th. Inspired by events from his youth, the song tells a story of young love and the inspiration it ignited in the budding artist.

In “Whisper In Your Right Ear,” Lindeberg takes us on a nostalgic journey, as he describes the relationship that inspired him to record his first album. He recollects his innocent recording mistakes, including the unintentional playing back of a mono sound in stereo, which made the album play solely on the right ear.

Whisper In Your Right Ear

Lyrics

Verse:
It’s funny that I was the last
Who found out about us
Wish I could prove the story’s wrong
With a couple texts on my phone

Oh I just want to mend it
You want to tear the seams
The risk we took was fun and all
But not like I thought it would be

Chorus: *  
Can we go back to the way things were
Watching Disney films, singing fifths and thirds
Can we lie down a while and just pretend
We didn't fuck this up my friend 

Verse:
You’re saying 
I know that you slept with her
Her flatmate saw you leave
Must have been someone who looked just like me
Cause I did no such thing

You’re going on about morals
And it’s all a bit rich
Cause you’re not wasting time mentioning
All of the guys that you meet

 Chorus 

Middle 8: F G C
You misplace things, 
From trust in others to E cigarettes  
Don’t believe it
The rubbish you’re being told by all of your friends 

Lay down with me, and just pretend
We didn't fuck this up my friend 

Chorus

Can We Go Back - Marcus Lindeberg - Bedroom Sessions

This rooftop’s burning, even though it’s now past 1 am.
And I am gazing as she lights up a hand rolled cigarette

Then she inhales hard, looks lost a while, then just utterly content.
Saying: I wouldn’t mind to, do a bit of singalong

Pre: Em G F#
Take out your phone put on any Aretha Franklin

Chorus:
Her tone’s carried round, by the pearly walls
Oh I have never heard a vibrato quite like yours

Darling oh, gimme your heart, your soul
Gimme that beat, your pulse
Gimme your heart, your soul,
I barely know who you are, but I’m addicted to your soul
your
Choir: Soul
Gimme your heart and your
Choir: Soul
MMhhh


Verse:
She feels kind of filmic, undeniably a character,
Lots of passion for music, but a scholar of theatre

Mmh, a new track's come on, puts her game face on
and turns to look at me
Hear the drop of a penny, feel a love for Avicii
Pre:  She’s going ”oh, oh, oh, sometimes I get a good feeling”

Middle 8: Em F# D A Bm - G A Bm
We’re so
High, on life, and a dose of Aretha Franklin
 Oh my, she’s like, sometimes I get a good feeling

So high, on life, and a dose of Aretha Franklin 
Oh my, she’s like, sometimes I get a good feeling


Take out your phone
And put on
Any Aretha Franklin

-Chorus-

She’s out until the late am and
Staying clear of home
Where daddy's lover is a drink and
mama never calls

Getting wet in the pouring rain, the
Best night for days
Cause there is not a single soul out
In this kind of rain

Pre: Am
And I lie here wondering where her mind’s at
Afraid she might end it all

Cause I just reckon she’s forgotten she is
beautiful behind her shattered eyes

Chorus: Em C G
She wears so many broken faces,
Just about to fall into pieces
And she has been, like this for some time
She's fading like a pair of seasoned laces,
afraid that she is leaving traces
A diary there for us to read

Am Bm7 C D
The’s terrified we'll peak, behind the scenes
Behind the scenes

Verse:
A brave face that feels like November
Not like the end of June
That Mama never made the call
Shines clearly through

Tryn’a shed some of the dirty skin to
Cover up her scars
Another layer to hide behind
from prying eyes

Chorus

Middle 8: Em C G
A midnight phone call
Waves a white flag
She says things got out of hand and
She cries, when she's telling me all tonight
C D G

Chorus

Behind The Scenes

It reached me over the puddle
In October mid-day
Oh, Bad news travels faster than the good does
it travels with haste

I got a call from a friend he
Told me what happened to you
I had never thought of how fragile life is
You only tasted bits of summer
and were longing for spring

Pre-chorus: Bm G A D Off på G o D
oh now I’m standing, beside the old pier 
Where the water looks like glass and mirrors the hill where you lived

Over water sound’s running free
and I’ll fill my lungs with your air and I'll sing until you hear me

Chorus: F C G Am, F G Am, F C G Am, F F G C
But it’s way too quiet and I do not like it
Chilling me to the core of my body
Ripples on the water makes me hope although
your last dive was years ago

Verse 2:
It took me so long to come to terms with it
Remember stumbling upon
Your mothers story in the news paper
and then I felt cold

She implied you knew for a long time
even when you were with me
That you were made a mayfly. 
Nature has cruel ways.
The wind just snuffed away your heartbeat
Like a crash of the waves

-Pre-chorus-

Middle 8: Bm G F#
And I haven’t been to see you resting 
I have been meaning to but honestly it scares me
The flowers I bought lie withered by the window
I should’ve been there yesterday, keep thinking I’ll go tomorrow

-Pre-chorus- -Chorus-

Outro Chorus:
I know 
You’re lying underneath a flowerbed and
all alone in the cold, however,
A part of you resides within me 
There I’m sure you’ll always be warm

Mayfly

I had a dream tonight, but I woke up way to soon
An old love of mine turned up out of the blue

She gave me a playfull smile said “how do you do” 
We shared a couple drinks, then she put on her shoes

Pre chorus:
Leaned in towards my ear, and she said

Chorus: 
Oh let's go love 
I’ve missed you oh, I 
Can’t believe your jokes are still rubbish
We, could make up for lost time
If you would fancy it

Yeah let’s go love
Take me home,
Lead me to your small studio room
You, know I need you alone 
To rediscover you
 
And I know back then I said I didn't wanna and I put a dot where I should’ve put a comma. Can you forget, that I have made a mess
Out of our togetherness 

Verse: 2
We took off into the night, heading to Putney heath
and I just loved the way her eyes were fixed on me

She kissed me eagerly, surely made me move
I heard myself saying “I think I’m in love with you”

Pre chorus:
Oh but she just laughed it off, and she said.

-Chorus-

Middle 8: 
Just for a moment, on a summer nights eve
I had, all I ever wanted finally within reach
We were
Two lovers in one lovers mind
Two friends who'd finally reunite
And I would give it all, to have it all, she’s worth every prayer
And I would give it all, to have it all

-Chorus-

Togetherness

Decided to start releasing something every month, this time a cover.

Too Late For Love - John Lundvik (Cover by Marcus Lindeberg)

(Free Download)

Lyrics:
I need to find a source of positivity 
Because of late, my life has drained it out of me

Feels like I’m missing out on things, Yeah I need
To spend less time going through media feeds 

Pre: 
Lately I’ve been feeling
Like I’m suffocating
Yeah I’ve been feeling
Like I’m suffocating

But
Chorus:
I won’t be broken
Someday I’ll be free 
From all they say I need
I know, you say it’s heresy

But I won’t be broken
As long as I breath
I’m going where I please
I know, I’m bound to bruise my knees

But what’s the point in living and to be
If I take a path that’s not meant for me 

Verse:
I know there are many things that fill my head with doubt
But it’s not clear to me what I should filter out

I guess I have to think of whom I want around
And to get rid of those that I can live without

Pre:

-Chorus- 

M8:

I tried to follow the words they, 
Said would be leading me
But I can’t comprehend, 
Where they are taking me

I’ll throw them away, and replace them
With words I believe
Will show, the right way
On from here for me

-Chorus- 

M8:

Broken - Marcus Lindeberg

George Ezra - Shotgun (Cover by Marcus Lindeberg)

You will find this aint my forte
Whatever you might say
Not my type of conversation
Let us change pace

I will tell you all my secrets
Up until this day
Every fault and my achievements
But I need you to meet me half way

Show me your scars
Tell me your fears
Tell me the part
You played to get here
I am, intrigued
Tell me what you’ve seen

Oh don’t you hold back
There is no need
I know the past’s
Full of stories
We’d like to keep 
Hid away safely

Speak your mind
Tell me bout the ties you severed
Tell me every lie
You tell yourself to make it better

You know, everyone has
Scars that force them to remember
Pain yeah I don’t know why
It tends to bring people together

Well who knows but
It may bring us two together
Well who knows but
It may bring us two together

Verse:
I will tell you all the reasons
You know the ones that made
Me become this cynical creature
I am today 

I will tell you bout the treason
Nested in my brain
And the day my brother got beaten 
But I need you to meet me half way

Show me your scars
Tell me your fears
Tell me the part
You played to get here
I am, intrigued
Tell me what you’ve seen

Oh don’t you hold back
There is no need
I know the past’s
Full of stories
We’d like to keep 
Hid away safely

Speak your mind
Tell me bout the ties you severed
Tell me every lie
You tell yourself to make it better

You know, everyone has
Scars that force them to remember
Pain yeah I don’t know why
It tends to bring people together

Well who knows but
It may bring us two together
Well who knows but
It may bring us two together

Speak your mind
Tell me bout the ties you severed
Tell me every lie
You tell yourself to make it better

You know, everyone has
Scars that force them to remember
Pain yeah I don’t know why
It tends to bring people together

Well who knows but
It may bring us two together
Well who knows but
It may bring us two together

Bring Us Two Together

London-based pop artist Marcus Lindeberg has a bit of an outsider soul. Starting with music at a later age than usual, his upbeat sound draws inspiration from figures like Ed Sheeran and Maroon 5. The Swedish producer and singer-songwriter attended BIMM Institute (with alumni like George Ezra).
