Such a nice and catchy tune! And with lyrics that really speaks to someone who tried to be a 08:a, but gave up...

Music to help us get through the coming winter. Stay safe! 

This song was originally written and performed by Neil Young.

If You Ever Wanna Change Your Mind (Tommy '86 Remix)

Intellivision
"Sleepwalk"
Written and recorded by Roger Gunnarsson and Thomas Johansson in 2005 at Studio Mindbender, Halmstad

The Intellivision album I did with Thomas in 2003-2004 is definitely among the things I've enjoyed the most making. Every bit of it was fun. From the silly ideas and laughing about it in the studio to the making of 80s-ish electronic pop which was pretty new to me then.
The album was released on retropop CD label Hypersound in Switzerland, which was a total surprise for us. That made us very excited to write more songs though and in 2005, when the album was out, we recorded 2-3 songs that definitely should have made it to the album.
This is one of them called "Sleepwalk".
I wrote most of the lyrics for Intellivision, with Thomas' valuable input with catchy hooks and titles. I remember "Sleepwalk" being his idea of a song title, and I made it a lyric about the tiresome city life in Stockholm, which I have hated since day one, but still - 10 years later - I'm still here hoping to get out some day.

SLEEPWALK
Written by Roger Gunnarsson & Thomas Johansson

People waking up in the middle of the night
from the sleepwalk
People in cars and trains and buses
like a sleepwalk

Walking all around with no place to go
Trying to get home for a tv show
Everyone just keep trying to get away

Get a proper job, have friends and a car
it's like a sleepwalk
Doing their best to get really far
it's like a sleepwalk

You must have a job at 22
and you really have to know what you wanna do
No one really knows about life's great mystery

Whatcha gonna do when you're waking up?
Whatcha gonna do when you're cracking up
I will enjoy myself, I will control myself
I'm gonna walk away from here

Whatcha gonna do when your life is real?
Whatcha gonna do, tell me how you feel?
I'm feeling fine today, you're on my mind today
I don't know what to say
Don't want my days to slip away

People are doing what you tell them to
it's like a sleepwalk
People are dying just to get in bed
from the sleepwalk

Walking all around with no place to go
Trying to get home for a tv show
Everyone just keep trying to get away

Whatcha gonna do when you're waking up?
Whatcha gonna do when you're cracking up
I will enjoy myself, I will control myself
I'm gonna walk away from here

Whatcha gonna do when your life is real?
Whatcha gonna do, tell me how you feel?
I'm feeling fine today, you're on my mind today
I don't know what to say
Don't want my days to slip away

Alone, alone, alone...

Here's where I put up songs that never happened elsewhere. Songs recorded from the 90s to 10s. Some unreleased Nixon tracks, some demos made for others, some songs that just didn't get finished.
