Lyrics:

""Ah, the games we play..."

It’s the same dance as always
Same procedure every time
I move forward
You move back
For no reason and no rhyme

Just the shadow of your smile
Makes me smile inside
Just the smidgeon of a frown
Makes me doubt, again

Just the winking  of your eyes
Makes me wish I tried
Just the crinkle of your lips
Makes me wish I’d hide


Same Dance as Always (feat. Daniele Turani)

(Updated 120615: cleaned up mix, changed piano and flute)

This track is the result of my objective to pair two of my favourite musicians here on SC through their respective offered stem and loop; Nazneen's vocal stem for "Love Affair with life" and Balam's(FredWhite) Rhodes loop.

The idea was to go purely inspirational and not overwork the subject matter. Props goes to Andawan's inspirational take on the same vocal stem - but without having listened to his resulting track, not to cloud my own take.

I hope I haven't abused Nazneen's nor Balam's musicality but instead given more people a chance to hear the talent of my fellow SoundClouders in a new and hopefully fresh context. 

Enjoy!

P.S. Thought it might be fun for the interested listener who found his/her way to these liner notes to check out the other interpretations of Nazneen's stem out there. Have fun ;-)!

You don’t care for the Devil
You don’t care for me
You don’t bare to be troubled
Oh, no, no, no

You don’t care for me, honey
You don’t see what’s right
You don’t care for the money
Oh, no, no, no

Thus
 if you don’t change your mind
I’d rather see you
dead

The devil may care
The blood running through my vein
Demands that you to dare
To share my pain

I want you to stay
To enter my personal hell
To share an eternity
Of passion

Slip Away (feat. Dave McKeown, Wayne Morley & Jonny Trobro)

Piano is my instrument, inspired by the world. Sounds like whatever I like, intent on a cool vibe, often somewhere in between Swedish melancholy and Brazilian bittersweetness... 

Peter Bennborn Project is a diverse musical experience ranging from romantic piano ballads to alternative indie metal rock and everything in between, but for country and reggae so far...

The music is either performed alone or in worldwide collaborations, wherever the appropriate musician for the task is located - no limitations and no limits in a borderless world...
