From The Age Of Solitude

"Go on...Time is running out too fast"

This track, AOR/West Coast rock of the muscular American kind ca 1983, draws inspiration from Toto among other iconic bands of the time. Majestic, heavy on synths, Steve Lukather inspired guitar riffs and solos and cracking, soaring vocals makes you wanna ride the streets in a convertible, under the sun, in shadow of the palms with the shoreline at your side. Listen and have a great time doing it.

Thank you Jimmy, Daniele and Magnus - great fun as always! A special shout-out to Magnus who's constantly chasing me down about doin' more West Coast ;-)!

Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Hold on
To the love we thought we left behind
Keep on
To the love we thought we had

Move on
Gotta move on from the past
Go on
Time is running out too fast

We’re on a journey
There’s no tomorrow
No looking back
No excuses last
We’re on the train
Cannot refrain
For the sake of time
Not be left behind

Move on
See beyond the clouds up in the sky
Keep on
No adventure passing by

Hold on
To the fun we had before
Go on
To the joy of having more

Running Out of Time

Urban Express By Paploviante- ST- IPG1

It always amazes me how a collaboration can change the whole feeling of a song. Such is the case when Cloud artist Devin Locke reached out to me to collaborate.  I sent him a tune I had been working on, but would not necessarily stand on it's own.  What he did with his fine playing, getting inside the basic melody, bringing out the possibilities, reminded me of the playing of Django Reinhardt and helped me hear the song in a whole new light.  For more of Devin's fine playing check out  soundcloud.com/devin-locke.  To hear a wonderful vocal version of this song, check out: @myckael-marcovic/si-django-avait-joue

This one is a bit out of my comfort zone. But one should never stop experimenting...

Eventual Horizon

Joe Hill, Swedish emigrant, songwriter, working class hero, was the inspiration behind this song.

A poll released on August 16th found that nearly half of Americans who support Biden plan to vote by mail rather than in person on election day, compared with just one in ten backers of Trump.

Big thank you to https://soundcloud.com/jonathan_beckenstein for his beautiful raw playing that takes this song from its humble ‘rural’ beginnings into big ‘city’ overdrive. And to Yaron Engler for his deft drum programming.

No letter in the post for Joe
No letter in the post for Joe
Where’s that vote
In an envelope
No letter in the post for Joe

He needs that letter to make things better 
Why’s it so damn slow
Don’t stop clapping
Until it happens
No  letter in the post for Joe  
      
Click, snap, a letter box flap
Tell me yes or no? 
If that my vote
In an envelope
That’s all I need to know
Or I tell you Joe might blow

A Song about not becoming paralyzed by rejection or loss

Passed Over

Very happy for this funky collab with https://soundcloud.com/roger-one based on his open collab https://soundcloud.com/roger-one/all-track

-------------------------
I don't want to sleep
when there's a ton of things I wanna do
I don't need my bed
when there's a rhythm that makes me move

But my tired body
is attracted by gravity
and I will fall asleep

I feel like sleep is a waste
when I'm crazy about the moment
I feel like there's something else to do
going to sleep now will make me blue

But my tired old shell
can't stop rining the warning bell
and I will fall asleep

I want it to last, this moment, always the same
I try to be wise, but I can't, I just want it again

I will fall asleep
oh no, gravitiy is appealing me, is attracting me
I feel like I'm in cotton, bottomless wadding
never reaching the bottom, till I found myself
laying down

Now I deeply sleep
and my body can get the rest it needs
I don't want to wake up
cauze I don't know what things I'll deal today

But my tired body
just want to stay casually
in my happy dreams
yeah my tired body
want to stay comfortably
in my lazy dreams

and the cycle repeats itself
I never want to sleep, I never want to wake up

Never Want Feat. Note Or Not

Yet another collaboration with the uber talented Janine Levinson. This time her pick. One of her and my favorites.

In A Sentimental Mood

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...
