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)

Remix  May 2020

No more fancy schmanzy jazz and piano melancholy; time for some epic Progressive Metal to rock your ears off.

On top of the sizzling bass/drum combo of pro rockers Jonny Trobro and Walter Kelleher, you'll be rewarded with one of this year's finest guitar solo performances from the burning fingers of Jerry Kramskoy.

Also, got to give it up to Italian prog metal unit DGM and their fantastic track "Reason", which inspired me to do this track.

Looking forward to re-master "Cut the Line" in the future with a real rock singer. If you know anyone who's willing and able, gimme a shout ;-)!

Rock on!

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Another war, another crackdown
Whatever for, it’s only a letdown
The core of evil is locked in the mansion
Whatever for, has evil been sanctioned

Verse 2
Across the world, bullets are flying 
Bombs are thrown, rockets explode
Screams are heard and people are dying
Blood is flowing and hope implodes

Bridge 1
Why, oh why
Why, oh Why

Chorus
Stop the madness
Cut the line
Have your reason
Fighting crime

Find an answer
Take your time
Solve the riddle
Cut the line

Verse 3
Across the world, people are tired
Fed up with bull, that nothing is done
Now is the time, to throw out the garbage
To hit and run, and bend all the rules

Verse 4
Change the old guard, lay down those weapons
Clean up the slate, get rid of the hate
Bring it on hard, cut through all sections
Almost too late, to change human fate

Bridge 2
The core of evil is locked in the mansion
Whatever reason, has evil been sanctioned

Remember The Moment

"OpenAI/ChatGPT review":
"Dream of Cabo" is an instrumental piece that evokes the magic and romance of a sunset rendezvous in one of the world's most beautiful destinations. From the very first notes, the music transports you to a place of pure joy and happiness, evoking images of sandy shores, crystal clear waters, and the sound of waves crashing against the shore. 

The music is led by a smooth and soulful Rhodes piano, which sets the mood with its rich, warm tones.

Together, these two instruments create a soundscape that is both dreamy and uplifting, perfect for anyone looking for a little romance and adventure in their lives. 

It's a song that celebrates the magic of love and the power of dreams, and it's sure to be a favorite for anyone looking for a little escape from the daily grind.

Dream Of Cabo

THE RETURN OF LIGHT
The freezing night is still and thick, but it’s darkness will soon be broken,
The end of longest day ahead and the start of a the new day to come. 
Amidst the snow and biting air, the heartbeat holds steady, 
Anticipating Spring ahead and what the new light of day holds unspoken.

The dancing rays, sky set aglow, bring warmth and light, 
Languor and strife come to a peaceful end, 
Bringing in a change, whence the days will start to bright. 
The solstice, half way through the season, gives a happy mend.

The promising return of warm and gold, 
Sparkles of life and beauty, both will unfold. 
The spiral of life and gift of hope, 
Breathes fresh life into the lands that we roam.

-Dan

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...

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

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

Ultra Vox (feat. Daniele Turani, Jonny Trobro & Anders Grönlund)

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...
