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

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


Devil May Care (feat. Andre Bellwood, Daniele Turani & Mixed Meta4)

Our sole instrumental track from our album Legacy! The song features an array of tempo and time signature changes including: 182, 154, 110 and 106 bpm as well as 13/8, 6/8, 15/16 and 4/4. This song is one of our favorites to play because of the changes and feel and overall energy behind the track. Marco Minnemann really has a stand out performance here so turn it up and enjoy!

Fool Me Twice (ft. Coco G Diez, Derek Cornett, Wayne Morley, Jonny Trobro & Walter Kelleher)

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...
