Morning Thoughts

we should dance

These songs are influenced by images from the poem Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold. I’m not sure how this poem came to me, I’m not a big reader of poetry, but there is is. I used several images from the poem to name the songs, as well.

The Tide is Full

The Light Gleams And Is Gone

This is my interpretation of an old classic Elvis Presley song that I like very much;
"Love me tender", written by Elvis and Vera Matson.
I play spanish guitar, mandolin and sing it from the heart. 
Here is  link to a recent live performance that I did in the old church of Bromma,

Elegy 2

words and music K Gennery

A song inspired by one of my favourite tv programmes, BBC's detectorists.

Words:
Fly on a recce surveying for clues,
a reflection or a sparkle, means the world to you.
Then you swoop down and take it and hide it up high,
a treasure trove of goodies, sway in the sky. 
And we all know.

Sunlight is your accomplice in tandem you toil,
hour after hour, through bush, grass and soil.
Probing for that moment, discover like no other,
decades lay unfound, riches abound.

What you need is shimmering, all kinds of precious things,
like rubys and diamond rings they all catch your eye.
And when you see it glimmering, all kinds of pretty things,
you have to stop never pass on by....magpie.

When you find your rainbow,
with it's own crock of gold.
Keep it to yourself secrets never to be told.
And I'll pop on my top hat and tip it towards you,
a gesture for tradition somewhat long forgotten.

What you need is shimmering, all kinds of precious things,
like rubys and diamond rings they all catch your eye.
And when you see it glimmering, all kinds of pretty things,
you have to stop never pass on by....magpie.

Love Never Felt So Good [Single]

magpie

I'm a singer/songwriter from Stockholm, Sweden.
The guitar is my main instrument. 
But I enjoy to have fun with other instruments too.
My songs are organic and mostly acoustic based.
I guess they could be described as a blend of folk, country, blues and world music.
And I haven't written my best song yet. That's what keeps me going.
Please be my guest,  have a listen and write me a comment if you like.
