Favorite [Various music that heals me]

I threw some of my own tunes in.. cause it's what ya gotta do.. hope you check it out

Very talented friends

One of the songs that came out of my 1-month songwriting challenge to write a verse or chorus a day (the lyrics are from days 22-25). I'd been binge-listening to "Champagne Problems" by Taylor Swift and wanted to write a simple 4-chord song with a kind of sentimental vibe.

This is part of my second "album", https://soundcloud.com/jenni-grossmann/sets/when-the-curtain-falls

Verse 1
I remember a time when a flick of your wrist could make all clouds drift away
But now the sun’s been hiding out for days
The truth of the matter is
Maybe it’s better this way
What do you say

Chorus x 2
It was all fun and games until it wasn’t
We hit the bottom of the barrel and you know it’s
Never gonna be the same
Why don’t we call it a day / Yea, let's just call it a day

Verse 2
I remember a time when a word from your lips could let the world slip back into place
But now I haven’t heard from you for days
And the truth of the matter is maybe it’s better this way
What do you say?

Chorus x 2
It was all fun and games until it wasn’t
We hit the bottom of the barrel and you know it’s
Never gonna be the same
Why don’t we call it a day / Yea, let's just call it a day

Verse 3
I remember a time when the touch of your hand could wipe all my fears away
But now you don’t understand anything and I think
The truth of the matter is maybe it’s better this way
What do you say?

Chorus x 2
It was all fun and games until it wasn’t
We hit the bottom of the barrel and you know it’s
Never gonna be the same
Why don’t we call it a day / Yea, let's just call it a day

When The Curtain Falls

Fun And Games

Like D'Angelo's the Vanguard, straight outta the rural Norwegian countryside, Norwegian 7-piece Fieh are ready to unleash the follow-up to their 2019 debut album. Cold Water Burning Skin was fittingly described as “future soul” by God Is in the TV and “left field R&B” by Clash Magazine, and the band continues in the same vein, although simultaneously broadening their spectrum.

Centered around the groove, Fieh’s new music includes the funk bangers that initially introduced the band, but also more experimental and orchestral songs. Citing The Roots, Joni Mitchell, Erykah Badu, The Beatles and Solange as inspirations should give a hint as to what Fieh sounds like. Brimming with creativity and supported by a funky backbone, it’s still the songs that are the foundation. The lyrics revolve around themes of everyday life, incidents, people and love – real stories from real life.

In the Sun in the Rain was recorded with famed Norwegian musician and producer Lars Horntveth (Jaga Jazzist, Susanne Sundfør, The Staves, Kimbra) who definitely brought his skills and eclectic tastes into the mix. Speaking of mixing, that part was done by the legendary “Analog Ninja” Russell Elevado. Known for his work with D’Angelo, Angélique Kidjo, The Roots, among others, Elevado has amplified the band’s intentions in the studio, and given increased character to the record’s sound.

Fieh emerged with breakthrough single “Glu” in 2017. They quickly rose to local and international fame, thanks to broad support from the likes of Clash Magazine, DIY Magazine and The Fader, among others. Widespread touring took them to venues all over Europe, including the main stage at Norway’s biggest festival, Øyafestivalen.

The powerful ensemble, known for their ecstatic live shows, consists of a group of friends that have been playing together for a long time, constantly honing their sound and skills. Being hugely talented musicians, they function effortlessly together as a super tight unit, where each member brings his or her taste and influences into the mix.

A song about getting older, but also recognizing what you have right now.

It's Alright

Its Alright

Caught in the Middle of a Dream (feat. Brandon McLeod)

Holding On

Are you middle aged and have you lived through the early 2000s wondering WTF is going on? You'll get this one.

Wracked with guilt at the bottle bank
Each one a jagged tale
Another fight
Another bad night
Feeling withdrawn
Poisoned and pale pale pale 

So, go on, update your status
You're really happy 
You're happy really? 
Cos look what you cooked

Wrapped in a quilt at the food bank 
Shivering in shame
You could be free
But how would they eat?
Strategic withdrawal 
Find a new name name name 

Who cares about your status? 
You're really happy
You're happy really? 
It’s not a good look

You’re trapped in a vault and it’s all your fault
They have more than you and it’s all your fault
You made it your vocation
To forget the combination
An eligible spinster
Has no place on insta

Ragged and wrought at the blood bank
Those organs bear the scars
Brain chemistry
Makes fake life history
Support withdrawn 
And fading so fast fast fast

And who cares where your grave is? 
You’re really happy
You’re happy really? 
Reduced to a book

Now, go on, update your status
You’re really happy 
You’re happy really? 
Cos look what you cooked

I’m still here at the bottle bank 
For years at the bottle bank 
Still here…

I love Sandy's ( http://soundcloud.com/sunnidayz ) songs and I've wanted to collaborate for quite a while. Finally we have both a song and technology in place! ;-) Even better, Sandy tells me you can dance the Texas Two-Step to this song! In addition to Sandy's wonderful and soulful singing I was thrilled to have http://soundcloud.com/oorlab onboard. His violin playing is adding real character to the song I think. I hope you agree. Enjoy!

I. We were singing 
we were singing 
we were singing through the night 
Trees were blowing 
The willow's all knowing 
Trees were blowing in the night 
Something's calling our names 
We all turn around and there's this raven 
It spread its wings 
whispered things 
We were singing 
We were singing 
We were singing all through the night

II. the rain kept raining 
the moon kept shining 
we took our boats across the lake 
the dark descending 
we kept sending 
signals cross the Skies 
Something's calling our names 
We all turn around and there's this raven 
It spread its wings 
whispered things 
We were singing 
We were singing 
We were singing all through the night

Something's calling our names 
We all turn around and there's this raven 
It spread its wings 
whispered things 
We were singing 
We were singing 
We were singing all through the night

III. Space expanding 
we're moon landing 
walk this Earth up and down

at sixes and sevens 
we stare to the heavens 
wondering why no one's there

Something's calling our names 
We all turn around and there's this raven 
words of piece 
words of comfort 
We were singing 
We were singing 
We were singing all through the night

A song about not being there any more...

Here are the lyrics:

You know that i won't
be there for you anymore
Girl you play ball and
i just keep the score 

I never dreamed to be
that kind of guy
The one who sits alone
and always cry for love

I 've changed my mind don't
call me on the phone again
I really don't believe girl
that you care

I guess that now you're 
sleeping in a larger bed
Smile has returned
upon your face, i bet 

Maybe sometime
maybe someday

You're gonna find 
that your man
he has sent you away
leaving you far behind
without many words to say

Then you'll need a
helping hand, just a
friend to ease the pain
well i got news for you babe
look at me i'm not the same

What a shame, i'm
not the same!!!

I'm not surprised the
way you're moving on
it only proves that i
have been so wrong

No matter what you do 
can't hurt my pride
i set you free so you don't
have to hide anymore

What a shame, i'm
not the same!!!

Well remember that i used
to say i'll be around
but i think your time is up
don't waste your life 
i can't be found

Everyday when i wake up
i try to realize
all the dreams i ever had
nothing more but a 
bunch of lies

What a shame, i'm
not the same!!!

Lyrics by Hedd Roxx and Tom Roxx
Music By Tom Roxx

Verse 1
I am living the American dream
A house in the city and one mother's dream
So many friends I can't keep them straight
Sometimes I want to run and hide away

I know it's not fair when I spit and complain
And sometimes it feels like I'm going insane
When everything I do is a runaway train
And everything is up and down and I can only feel the pain

Chorus:
It's gonna be alright 

Verse 2
I awoke from the American dream
A world of insanity and nothing as it seems
You keep enemies closer than friends
Expressing your thoughts is how America trends

Speak your mind because it is your right my friend
Blind to reactions of those you offend
It's dark as midnight in the middle of the day
And everyone is up in arms over what people say

Chorus:
It's gonna be alright 

Lead Break

It's gonna be alright
