Lyrics:
Rabbits out the hat
Smoke and mirrors stacked
Here's a little fact
I've moved on from that
I'm better now 
As i transform
Much bigger now
I don't conform
I am The Magician
I can Hypnotize you with my spell
I have got a vision
It's so crystal clear it rings like a bell
Dust storms left and right 
Brainstorms in the night
Internal burning white
Keep it locked up tight
I never know
If i control
This inner glow
Is it my goal
or is it my fate
am i too late
how long will you wait
how long will you wait
how long will you wait
I am The Magician
I can Hypnotize you with my spell
I have got a vision
It's so crystal clear it rings like a bell

The Magician (Feat. Winkandwoo)

Who´s gonna light up the pier when I'm gone
gonna fight out the dark when alone

All these feelings overwhelming me
like waves pulling me back to the sea

why is this peace too hard to find
Im feeling left behind

Put out your hand one for me to hold
start a fire to keep me from the cold

Whos gonna light up the pier when I'm gone
gonna fight out the dark when alone

when I'm gone
when I'm gone
when I'm gone

When Im gone

The Pier

Lyrics
All my friends are travellers
We don't often get to meet
But I know they're out there somewhere
And the knowing keeps me sweet

Now some go out in limousines
And some leave on there feet
And I never really feel as if they're gone
No I never really feel as if they're gone

Amanda's like my sister, and she's out there in L.A.
(sung Mahri's like my sister, and she's out in Frisco Bay)
But the wings of love fly straight and true
So we keep in touch that way
Now there's other friends, they're sensitive
I guess they'll use the phone someday
And we watch the wheels of life, keep spinning on
Yes, we watch the wheels of life, keep spinning on

Now the chain of love keeps growing
And the World keeps getting small
And soon there won't be room enough, to seperate us all
When the voice of love grows strong enough
It could break down any wall
And you'll hear it call....you'll hear it call

Now sometimes when I look ahead
I could cry at what I see
Some say it's an easy road
But it never was for me
The damage, is not half undone
And we've all got dues to pay
But we get the help we need, along the way...
Yes the light keeps growing stronger, everyday
Every day Yeh...growing stronger...chain of love...growing stronger

CHAIN OF LOVE (Lesley Duncan cover) With Glen Granthem

This is the story of my first “eclipse”, experienced alone in the wilderness of Oregon in August, 2017. It’s a long story, but the story behind this song.

I drove to Oregon alone to see the great American total solar eclipse of 2017. In Oregon, there is a famous national park called Crater Lake.  This is the deepest lake in America.   In the middle of Crater Lake is Wizard Island. This lake was formed when a huge volcano blew its top a long time ago.  My plan was to see Wizard Island, get a hotel room, and see the eclipse the next day.

There have been numerous stories of strange occurrences around this area from multiple people over the course of centuries.

The time was around 7 pm when driving up Crater Lake Mountain to see Wizard Island… I wasn’t sure where I was going, or how to get down from the mountain. Finally, I saw Wizard Island just as the sun started to set. I remember there was this misty haze in front of the Island. I could barely see it. I got the chills and a weird feeling... It was very eerie.

I tried to find my way down from the mountain in my car, but it was too late, I was lost, and it was too dangerous. There are areas where you can drive off a ledge and fall a long way. No fun. I had to pull over in the wilderness and spend the night in my car…

Hours passed, and I fell asleep.

What happened next is the strangest thing I’ve experienced in my life. I woke up, it was still night. My phone wasn’t working, my car wouldn’t start or turn on any lights. I didn’t know what time it was. It was disturbing to me they were both "dead", and I was panicked. Then I noticed the area around my car was alternating in brightness, like truck lights... But that wasn't it. I got out of my car to check it out.

But the sky was weird. The moon was weird. It was all weird. The moon was alternating between being clearly visible… And being pitch black. Like it was “blinking”. It would take 5 seconds to get black, then about 5 seconds to get bright again. The stars were barely visible. I stared in disbelief for maybe 30 seconds, it kept happening.  The air around me had a feeling of electric charge to it.   I started hearing a lot more animals, and they seemed to surround me. They were in the bushes and trees, everywhere. It got more troubling quickly when I could discern soft human voices. I couldn't see animals or people. 
I wasn't on any drugs, I was saving my drugs for the following day and the journey home.

Time seemed too slow. I backed up to my car, got in, and locked the doors. I remember a feeling of utter disbelief in my senses. Without any idea what to do, I climbed in the backseat and lied down. I thought any second I could die.

The next thing I remembered, I woke up. It was about 6:30 am. My car worked. My phone worked. And this was the morning of August 21st, 2017… The first day of the total solar eclipse which many of us would see later that day.  

But what I saw was something else.

Something very weird happened to me up there on that mountain that night, and it’s haunted me. I know several people will think "Manufactured lies!" Several others will think "Cool story bro...", well think what you want...

Later that morning when getting breakfast, still shook-up, I asked 2 waitresses if they heard of anything strange last night around Crater Lake. One said "no", the other said, "There's always something strange happening".

I remember one time a girl asked me why my music is so dark...
I’ve seen some sights.

Try to check out Crater Lake, Oregon, if you've never seen it.
Don't get lost.

Eyes Of An Artist feat. Special Cecilia

Lyrics (Translated below):

Jag är den jag är
trasig rädd till besvär
livet hårt och skört
kommer aldrig bli som förut

du vill ej
du vill inte ha 
du vill inte ha mej där
vill inte ha
du vill inte ta på mej mer

du kunde aldrig fullt lita på mej
det verkar aldrig ordna sej
allt fokus blev så skevt
och allt fint vi två upplevt

du vill ej
du vill inte ha 
du vill inte ha mej där
vill inte ha
du vill inte ta på mej mer

du vill ej
du vill inte ha 
du vill inte ha mej där
vill inte ha
du vill inte ta på mej mer
du vill ej
du vill inte kämpa
du vill inte kämpa mer
Jag vill inte längta
vill inte sakna
dej nå mer


GOOGLE TRANSLATION:
I am who I am
broken afraid Im trouble
life hard and fragile
it will never be the same as before

you do not want
you do not want
you do not want me there
you do not want
you do not want to touch me anymore

you could never really trust me
it never seems to work out
all focus became so skewed
and everything nice we two experienced

you do not want
you do not want
you do not want me there
you do not want
you do not want to touch me anymore

you do not want
you do not want
you do not want me there
you do not want
you do not want to touch me anymore
you do not want
you do not want to fight
you do not want to fight anymore
I do not want to long
do not want to miss
you any more

Du vill inte..

Taking It Back

Taking It Back | IPG1 & N.o.b.S.

Just possibly the dumbest song I've ever done. But it's fun! A homage to the Shopping Mall era of teenage love.

Lyrics:
Walking in the Mall with my Girl
On a Saturday night
Perfume of her laughter and her beauty trails behind her
Allright!
Then she tells me that there's something I need to know
We stop ever time that she sees that store
Because her heart grow faint
Without complaint
When she sees those Poster Boys

She's in love with a stock photo model
Like the ones that hang up in the store
Stock photo model
I hear her utter underneath her breath
I heard her say:
Uh-huh!

Let me take you down to the Piano store
I will play you
"My Cherie Amour" (Stevie Wonder)
On the synthesizer 
Don't worry about the piano salesman
He's a sympathizer 
Cause he's been burned in love before
Every time that you walk past that store
You get excited by those Poster Boys

Stock photo model
She's in love with a stock photo model
With the whitest teeth
Look so street
I hear her say underneath her breath
Uh-Huh!

Stock photo model
She's in love with a stock photo model
I hear her say:
Uh-huh!!!!

Stock Photo Model

I heard the call, so I packed my brushes 'n basses and boarded Spaceship X

Many thanks to Scilent Symphony (https://soundcloud.com/scilentsymphony) and Tea Are Sea (https://soundcloud.com/tea_are_sea) for letting me add guitar to their song (https://soundcloud.com/tea_are_sea/delicate-emotion-scilent-symphony-tea-are-sea), which was not in need of any help, especially not mine. As a great admirer of their work, I'm glad they let this square hang out at their cool people party.

Music : JT The Owl soundcloud.com/lionel-duvoy/tracks
Lyrics and vocal : Lukowig www.facebook.com/Lukowig/ twitter.com/Lukowig

Sur tes lèvres roses, un baiser je dépose et une rose rose, comme cette aube morose. Une rose éclose, fraîche encore. Une rose rose sur ton corps.
Ton overdose, cause de mes rancœurs, en mille pétales Rose fragmente mon cœur.
Sur tes paupières closes, mes lèvres je pose pour que tu te reposes longuement je suppose. Une rose rose, de doux pleurs : en prose je t'expose ma douleur.

Une rose rose [JT The Owl and Lukowig]

Hope to be here more often 
Some bass moods in the meantime 
I do hope you're holding on whilst the storm passes

Lyrics:

The illness progresses
The cure is to accept it and move on
What used to be molasses
Turning my capillaries to stone

No amount of cough drops 
Will fix how choked up 
I am over you

My heart is sore
You push for more
I'm barely pulling through

Inmóvil me quedo quieto y me pudro
Ya que tiene mas sentido que esperar un milagro

The cavities and ulcers decorate my body
Inside out, my temples throbbing with persistent ache
You know too damn well from you there is no remedy
I wilt away and leave the sorrows in my wake

Inmóvil me quedo quieto y me pudro
Ya que tiene mas sentido que esperar un milagro

The illness progresses
Pathology suggests it's there to stay
I wear no rosy glasses
But still I'm thankful for another day

No amount of cough drops 
Will fix how choked up 
I am over you

My heart is sore
Tears hit the floor
I'm barely pulling through

Inmóvil me quedo quieto y me pudro
Ya que tiene mas sentido que esperar un milagro

Inmóvil me quedo quieto y me pudro
Ya que tiene mas sentido que esperar un milagro
