FROM THIS SOIL
(song & lyrics by Marcus Davidsson, 2013)

From this soil arises
plants of yellow light
In this soil we will stand
glowing in the night

We come out on an empty shore
separate and silent
Though you were buried long ago
I know your eyes like mine

The ocean singing to the stars 
and the wind that makes it stronger 
We let the music follow heart 
beyond the pace of time

Where you begin is where I end 
and the lines were never broken 
all the same, and always here 
we just let go 
into this dream 
follow
follow
follow through

From this soil arises
plants of yellow light
In this soil we will stand
glowing in the night

And everyone who sees it 
will come to see again 
those who cast a shadow 
will soon become our friends

From This Soil - LIVE at Landet (Stockholm)

For What Reason (finalmix)

A Million Thoughts (final mix)

Winter´s out in bloom 
not so long ago 
there was not a cloud of snow

We´ve been through this before
was it always clear
or did I miss something in here

but I died just a little
I died just a little
I died just a little and at the end of the day
I adore you
I adore you, anyway

Like strangers in a room
you and I should know
hiding out there in the snow

Then we dream away again
and all these fantasies 
never ends and make a plan

but I died just a little
I died just a little
I died just a little and at the end of the day
I adore you
I adore you, anyway

I died just a little
I died just a little
I died just a little and at the end of the day
I adore you
I adore you, anyway

Winter

I used to be a sailor, and everyone would say 
You´ll never find a piece of mind, you don´t ever stay 

I don´t know, I don´t know, 
I don´t know, anymore 

I travelled far to see it, the contour of myself 
But when I tried to be in it, I lost the love I felt 

That night, all those nights 
When the love, was just light 

If this is how, we should play 
I´d raher just sail away 
Maybe it could mean that much 
Maybe I just lost the touch 
Of love 

I know I don´t belong here, this it´s not my home 
I feel your love so tender, but I´ve gotta travel on 

Tonight, it´s alright 
Tonight, it´ll be alright 

I don´t know, what to say 
I´m sorry but I cannot stay 
Maybe it could mean that much 
Maybe I just lost the touch 

If this is how, we should play 
I´d raher just sail away 
Maybe it could mean that much 
Maybe I just lost the touch 
Of love 

I´m gonna look for something, for what I still don´t know 
Maybe I´m just hoping, and the seed will never grow 

I don´t know, I don´t know, 
I don´t know, anymore 

If this is how, we should play 
I´d raher just sail away 
Maybe it could mean that much 
Maybe I just lost the touch 
Of love

Contour

This is not the way it use to be
fading to a shade of gray
You wear colours that my heart can see
Now I´ve got so much to say

I´ve been sheltered by so many doors
I´m the hide and seeking kind
Now I´m dancing over empty floors
And you are always on my mind

For your eyes
I dare to fall 
For your eyes

We´re still awake with the lights of the city
Love finds a way to a desolate heart
There in your eyes my whole life looks so pretty
And I couldn´t wish for a better way to start 
than to wake up 
to a day like this

It is warm inside and cold out front
I´ve got everything I need 
And when you ask me will it be alright
I say I know we will succeed

For your eyes 
I´ll give it all
For your eyes

We´re still awake with the lights of the city 
Love finds a way to a desolate heart
There in your eyes my whole life looks so pretty
And I couldn´t wish for a better way to start 
than to wake up 
to a day like this

We´re still awake with the lights of the city
Love finds a way to a desolate heart
There in your eyes my whole life looks so pretty
And I couldn´t wish for a better way to start 
than to wake up 
to a day like this
to a day like this


For your eyes
