Frederik Cornelius's new album "One Man Show" features a beautiful acoustic ballad titled "Ivory". With soft vocals and gentle percussion, this soothing track is played solely by Frederik on his guitar.

The lyrics of "Ivory" speak of a longing for connection and a desire to bridge the gap between two people who may feel worlds apart. Frederik's heartfelt vocals convey a sense of vulnerability and sincerity as he sings, "Please don’t take half as bad, this feeling we have never had, let’s get back and try once again."

The song's chorus echoes this sentiment, as Frederik implores his subject to "come with me, Ivory" and to see the potential for a beautiful connection between them. Despite the darkness that may appear in the world, Frederik believes in the power of love and the importance of taking a chance on a relationship that may seem difficult or unlikely.

"Ivory" is a tender and honest ballad that showcases Frederik Cornelius's skills as a songwriter and musician. Its delicate instrumentation and heartfelt lyrics make it a standout track on "One Man Show", and a must-listen for fans of acoustic ballads and heartfelt lyrics.

Lyrics:
Won’t you come with me
Ivory
Cos I want you to see
You and me

And I know that this world is strange
It feels like we ain’t got a chance
And darkness may appear too many times
Now I’m asking you to try
To think about you and I
Cos we shouldn’t be apart

Open up to me
Ivory
Let’s sail out on the sea
You and me

Please don’t take half as bad
This feeling we have never had
Let’s get back and try once again
Now I’m asking you to try 
To think about you and I
Cos we shouldn’t be apart

Won’t you come with me
Ivory
You and me

Won’t you come with me
Ivory
Cos I want you to see
You and me

나에게

I wrote this in January 2005, and have performed it solo many times but it took a while to get it recorded.

Each verse (and the bridge) is a scene from the Ithaca, NY area.

Lyrics:

a flash of gold
a flash of green
a flash of something old you
thought you never should've seen
a flash of alabaster
a flash of white, and after that
a flash of insight into
something gray you'd thought was unclean

rolling down the hillside,
tired and in no gear
the city lights below you,
up ahead a deer just crossed the road
 
you missed the sign,
but it occurs to you that
you are here.
 
you bought your ticket,
you paid the price:
you made your way here
slogging through the snow and ice
the sound and motion
wake you from sleep, mm
but it's the silence
that pulls you in deep.
 
come and dance with me,
i'm sitting very still
come sing your passion to the rooftops
and in the mumbled echo you might hear your name
 
there's only one way
to find out whether
you are here.
 
circling to land
the end of the line
no connecting flights
there's only one way to travel,
and that's forward in time.
 
i had a vision,
it went like this:
a quiet sunbeam
and a forest kiss
it led me forward, but
now it's so far away
and when I glimpse it, it
only leads to yesterday
 
how can i run in darkness, flying into fear?
but if i listen close and stay standing here,
will it come to me?
 
it all comes to this,
and this is you,
and you are here.

The album is a chilled-out acoustic album that, apart from the first song Leave The Past, features only one instrument and vocals.
