Protest song against democracy.
Lyrics: Why is everyone such proud of our Democracy?
In the name of her you can kill, start wars around the world
As the new religion everyone has to follow

Is there any difference from the time of colonisation?

We still believe that we have the truth
That we are the chosen ones sent by the Lord
That’s why I ask myself this question
Why is everyone such proud of our Democracy?

Why is everyone satisfied with our Democracy?
Is there any politician in these days who has some kind of dream?
Who wants to change anything?
Everyone seems to have resigned
For a good economy
the only thing wich will
Keep us alive
Do we want to stay here forever?
What happened with our creativity?
Yesterday we were singing against the dictator
But today we sing against Democracy

VAGGSÅNG / flöjtversion 

Denna kanon skrev jag 1987-88 till text av Gabriela Mistral som skoluppgift när jag gick på Hvitfeldska Gymnasiet. Läraren förstod inte riktigt hur den skulle låta och jag fick aldrig höra den sjungas. Nu finns denna flöjtversion att glädjas över i alla fall. Tack Zofka för ditt fina spel!

Nu vaggar mitt hav sina vågor
vid dyningens eviga dån.
Jag lyssnar till vågornas kärlek
och vaggar min son.

I sädesfälten går vinden
och vaggar nattliga strån.
Jag lyssnar till vindarnas kärlek
och vaggar min son.

Gud vaggar de ändlösa världar,
som tystnaden kommer ifrån.
Jag känner hans hand i mörkret
och vaggar min son

This music was composed for a photo film of Bert Leandersson about modern Swedish churches. It was a big challenge to find a sound and music that expressed a kind of modern Swedish spirituality . Finally I founded that the ukelele was an unexpected instrument that had something special to offer.
