A song that needed to come out. You know who you are.

I Hope You're OK

I have taken a lot of short videos on my phone of musical ideas. Mainly guitarlines and/ or chords. This guitar theme was very short, but It felt good in my stomach. 
I wrote some lyrics that you can interpret in multiple ways. For me, they have to do with the hope of building a friendship.

Should I give it up

Karrusellen

A Latin rock song with some funky elements. The lyrics should be relateable, if you have ever been in a situation, where you wish someone had cut you off, instead of insisting that "I will get back to you"..

You didn't treat me right

Unveiled Heart

A ballad with Danish lyrics, about summer rain and how it reflects the actions of some people, who do not really give you anything..

Sommerregn

I came up with a guitar theme, that I wanted to build a song on. I had to call the theme something, so I came up with "Little shack". Later, when I wrote the lyrics, the story of the guy sitting in his little shack writing songs, came fairly easy :)

Little Shack

"Plankevaerk" means "Fence" and this song is about a guy, who keeps working on his fence, sawing, drilling and hammering - but still it keeps falling down. Mainly because people keep picking at the fence, finding it's weaknesses. In the end he gives up and starts building the fence anew, this time with glass windows, so people can see him and he can see them.

I have recorded many ideas on my smartphone and then I found this one about a week ago and got inspired to write this rock song. The title came from the first line I was "scat-singing" on the recording.

Lyrics:
Well I had the chance to walk right out the door.
But I didn't know, what I was looking for.
I envy those, who know  what they want to be.
I didn't even know who I was. I could no  t see.
And I needed someone - to believe in me.    

Maybe I did never want it.
Maybe I did not deserve it.
That's a load of crap, 
you should have taken the chance.

Oh-oh-oh
It could have been such a show   
Oh-oh-oh
Now we'll never know
  
 "You are the biggest talent, I ever saw".
And then she said, "What are you waiting for?"
I must have waited for someone to back me up.
Or maybe someone to show me, the way to the top.
How can you shine, when you feel  that you're a flop?

 I don't think that that I can take it.
I can't see how I can fake it.
Thatt 's a part where I can,
 not convince, anyone at all. 

Oh-oh-oh
It could have been such a show   
Oh-oh-oh
Now we'll never know
 
I had the chance, but did I really care?
I've seen too many bastards ending up there.
If it is the bad guys, they prefer to see. 
Then be my guest, that's not where I wanna  be.  
I just need  someone - to believe in me.

I Had The Chance

A song I wrote to some words, posted by my niece on her FaceBook profile.

Friend

A lost butterfly is flapping ’round a window pane.

The glass is a trick, the question is. On which side will you be free?.

A tired, old fly gets trapped in a spider’s web.

Someone is pulling the strings. So dance away into the night. 


A survivor and sometimes prisoner.
Be a fighter, when the time is right.


A drunken old bum, is lying in an alley way.

Don’t ever go, down that road again! The inner light will never lead astray.

A lost butterfly…(The glass is a trick..)


A survivor and sometimes prisoner.
Be a fighter, when the time is right.

Sometimes you need to unwind and just go: "Damdidam didam didamdamdam..."... :)
