Lyrics:

Walk these mountains
Feel the fresh air
Watch the skyline
Free to wonder
What would happen
If I fall

The world belongs to me
Up here I’m feeling free
To let go

Flying high
Save goodbyes
Come what may
Gone to the sky

Hold on tight
The sun is bright
Have no fear
Live your life

Flying high
Save goodbyes
Come what may
Gone to the sky

Hold on tight
The sun is bright
Have no fear
Live your life

Find the fountain
Drink from wisdom
Reach for wonders
Be strong, don’t flounder
Take your chances
Just let go

Imagine what would be
A vision,  and you’ll see

Flying high
Save goodbyes
Come what may
Gone to the sky

Hold on tight
The sun is bright
Have no fear
Live your life

Up the Mountain, Into the Blue (ft. Rudi Lockefeir, Padruna, Flohbold, W. Kelleher & J. Trobro)

Lyrics:
You are the air: a perfume only I can know,
A mix of childhood memory and desire to go,
You are the air that keeps on flirting with my skin,
When you hold touching for so long, like a sin,
You hit the nerve, you are the air:
Elusive, always there...
Air that I must breathe
To pray that you will never leave
And will live with me...
Stronger... You make me feel so
So much stronger...
So much stronger... You make me feel so
So much stronger... I'll take you inside my night...
The fires rise, they steal away my eyes,
The fires ate at the hope and left a shell to cope,
The waters came... And drowned the shell,
The waters killed again... Another hell:
I was the earth packed deeper still,
And I would never move...
Stone that once was life and that would now,
Yes that would never know, nor ever sense
Stronger... You make me feel so
So much stronger... 
So much stronger... You make me feel so
So much stronger...
Stronger...
Stronger...

Stronger (ft. Michelle Yaneza, Florian Mueller, Anders Grönlund & Yann Vienne)

It's a true honor to realize visions, the potential of an idea, through collaborations, with people from near and afar sharing the same passion - in this case, music.

I am so grateful for having the opportunity and means to pursue my musical dreams; there's really no excuse for me not to "Reach Higher", but my own imaginary limitations.

Listen to these guys go epic in between symphonic rock, pop, jazz, fusion (yes, I couldn't care less about labeling my music) in 6/8ths, originally inspired by a Norwegian progressive rock track and Pat Metheny Band and ended up...somewhere Florian, Manuel, Walter and Noemie took me - on an inspired journey. 

The song is my idea, but it's truly our song. Enjoy!

LYRICS

When I feel drained, almost drowned,
Flashes of pain all around,
When life is heavy with my many fears
I shut my eyes: I'm all ears

Take in your voice like a light
Like a force new and true
Like the stories you tell to
This child every night
Drunk on your sound I will fight
All the hurt, knowing you
Will be here through and through
Giving me more than might

Voice like a god setting fire
To grey above, lift me higher
Make me so light I will fly on the air
Note on the score without scare

Sweet magic going through me
Soft hands on this here old tree
Spring water fresh on my lips like a kiss
Angel dear your voice is bliss

Bathe me in honey and milk,
Soothe me like satin and silk,
Drive out the cold emptiness of despair,
Sing, Love, and make it all fair...

Take in your voice like a light
Like a force new and true
Like the stories you tell to
This child every night
Drunk on your sound I will fight
All the hurt, knowing you
Will be here through and through
Giving me more than might

Voice like a god setting fire
To grey above, lift me higher
Make me so light I will fly on the air
Note on the score without scare

Solo de clarinette

Voice is inside, swings and sways,
Showing me so many ways,
So many days, weeks and years to be filled
Music and joy to distill,

This voice is yours and mine too,
People and places, oh, do
Let me sing with you the beauty around
Newly found here in our sound

Take in your voice like a light
Like a force new and true
Like the stories you tell to
This child every night
Drunk on your sound I will fight
All the hurt, knowing you
Will be here through and through
Giving me more than might

When I feel drained, almost drowned,
Flashes of pain all around,
When life is heavy with my many fears
I shut my eyes: I'm all ears

Lyrics:

No reason to feel really bad 
No excuses to feel really sad 
You don’t want me, I don’t really care 
You can’t have me, I’ve no time to spare

Clock is ticking, time is running fast 
My life is short, so many things have passed 
You don’t want me, I don’t really care 
You can’t have me, I’ve no time to spare

All is over and the past is past 
We were lovers, and it couldn’t last 
You don’t want me, I don’t really care 
You can’t have me, I’ve no time to spare

You chose another and you made your case 
You left me hanging, threw it in my face 
You don’t want me, I don’t really care 
You can’t have me, I’ve no time to spare

No time for love 
No game to play 
Won’t be afraid 
No reason made 
No time for love 
No plan to solve 
You want it bad 
No reason had

You had it coming 
Because you wronged me 
I know we’re failing 
We don’t belong here

No Time For Love (feat. Michelle Yaneza, Florian Mueller & 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...
