my bad (demo)

Four guitars on a deliciously depressive and sleep deprived winter's day. Neither entirely composed nor completely improvised, it is more a finger painting.

For Ray.

Thoughts on overthinking
And I’ve done my share
A ton of overthinking
Often too much to bear
I wrestle away but never come out on top
Body exhausted but brain won’t stop

Looking back
As I’m wont to do
I can track
All this to you
Been trying to understand what went wrong
For so long

Overthinking rules me
I can’t break free
It’s myself that fools me
Into thinking I see
A line of thought that’ll lead me out
Of a mess of regrets, around a wall of doubt
There’s plan A
All the way to Zed
Bouncing round
Inside my head
I grab one and it splits into three

If I could see a future nearing
One with you appearing
That’s what I have sought
And without another thought I’d volunteer/ would decide
So please appear/To take that ride

And when I’m at the point of collapse
About to burn out my last synapse
To restore my mental state
Just once more I contemplate
A simple life lived simply by your side
It’s the one option I haven’t tried
It sure would be fun - not having lots
Of overthinking thoughts

Thoughts On Overthinking

Re-recorded an old song by the band I was a part of. Written by both Dimitri Hill & I.

Cauterize

Whispered improvisation for three guitars.

Sometimes It's Spring

A new song on the steel string guitar. It's still a bit of a work in progress. I will probably change quite a few things around in the coming weeks.

House in the Valley

Bethlehem Steel's self-titled sophomore album is out September 13th via Exploding In Sound Records.

Falling of Winds (with Little Lone Waltz)

Ingvar Tautra https://soundcloud.com/agnosturaelwar recently posted a group of instrumental tracks for open collaboration. One of them was a charming solo guitar that really spoke to me, but also seemed a little lonely up there all by itself. It is the first thing you will hear. I added to it only minimally, a bass and two guitars.

Thanks for the ride, Ingvar. It was fun!

Here is a playlist from Ingvar of other artists who worked with the same guitar track as I have; https://soundcloud.com/agnosturaelwar/sets/contributions-free-collab-2-5
