Candle lights and breeze

i'd stay for a while 
to watch the gold of your hair
grow into silver
id' stay for a while
to watch the canyons carve
the corners of your smile
oh i would stay for a while
if you'd only want me here...

our shadows dance to
candle lights and breeze
our shadows dance to
candle lights and breeze
our shadows dance to
candle lights and breeze
our shadows dance to
candle lights… candle lights…

i'd stay for a while
when all the chooses are made
digital pictures fade
i would stay
listen to the rain
up in your attic
listen to the rain
with you

I'd stay for a while 
to watch the gold of your hair
grow into silver

All You Asked Me To

you shut the doors
between us you built a wall
hidden beneath the blanket of your
doubts and fear
leave me alone, no i don't want your company
just go away, just disappear
i've heard you say

and my hands are tied no matter what i do
your panic tide is turning me into
a display of your demons and your pain
and i can't agree it's all we could attain

and i did, now i did all you asked me to
and i did, now i did all you asked me to
is it what you really wanted me to do?
can you cope with your wish coming true?

let's hope you know
you know what you are wishing for
you shut the door
say you don't want me anymore
if i'd believe at least a bit of that was real
then i would leave,
but i just fail to buy that deal

so i redefine the fine art of us two
we are one so don't deny the truth
now i'm gone and still inside of you
can't overwrite the times 
that we've been through

and i did, now i did all you asked me to
and i did, now i did all you asked me to
is it what you really wanted me to do?
can you cope with your wish coming true?

Lonely Road

In all the honesty
with everything i feel
it feels like i am giving up

in all the honesty
requiem of a dream
i feel i'll give it all away
all away
drop out on
a minute before the dawn

so go go lonely road
no matter matter where you go
just go, go for i'm told 
that i will get to get to know 
you so utterly, 
utterly deeply until I
can't tell you from me
what is you and where is me

to tell you, honestly,
i don't know if it's right
or will it push you even
further away

it feels like giving up
right at the finish line
when biggest dream of mine
is right there, 
oh right there
just one foot around the corner

so go go lonely road
no matter matter where you go
just go, go for i'm old 
and i already go to know 
you so utterly, 
utterly completely I
don't need that lesson dear
not once again, i'm already healed

Angel

you're my angel you come unexpectedly
i bare my soul to heaven found
you're my angel you shine
oh so heavenly
you're shining to remind me
when my soul is blinded
you remind me

when i am lone lone lone
lone as i can be
you bring the joy and pour it over me
when i am lone lone lone
lone as i can be you are
you are there with me
you are there with me

you're my angel you come
oh so quietly
i barely notice you around
do you long for my soul
the way i long for yours
over this apparent distance?

when i'm weak and hiding
then you come to find me

you're my angel you come unexpectedly
tell the rain it drummed enough
enough upon my window
and no matter where we go
we go together my love
always you and i

and you can always make that call
and i will always take that line
and in my dreams we'll surely meet
where everything's all right
you can always make that call
come and reach me
come to teach me
everything i don't know

Home to Me

It can be so lone and scary
when you're out of ordinary
you feel that you just don't belong

and my heart won't keep the pace
with this isolating place
a fact that i don't get along with
along with but now i notice 
now i notice now i know this

that ever since you've been around
this place just has a different sound
it feels like home to me
and no matter where you are
you carry me inside your heart
it is a home to me
your heart it is
a home to me
your heart it is my home

love i know you've been alone
know the weight of that stone
that has been sitting on your soul

and i know you feel the change
in the same way we  are strange
don't need the words to understand
we're hand in hand
hand in hand hand in hand

Cookie Jar

If i would tell you
i were obsessing over you 
i know, i know that deep inside
i know you wouldn't mind at all
for we all love to be The One
and we all love to wear a crown
it hurts so when it falls…

and this is your most guarded secret 
it's so deeply intertwined
tell me tell me can u keep it 
from your inner mind 
and this is your most guarded secret 
the entire human kind would lie
but you still pull my smile 
for you are like a child 
with his hands in a cookie jar


if i would tell you
i weren't thinking about you so much
not so much anymore
i know you'd be surprised
that you don't like the news
don't like them after all
for it is me you love

and this is your most guarded secret 
it's so deeply intertwined
tell me tell me can u keep it 
from your inner mind 
and this is your most guarded 
secret the entire human
kind would lie 

but you still pull my smile 
for you are like a child 
oh you are like a child love 
oh you're just like a child 
with his hands in a cookie jar
still claiming you don't like the sweets, love

Dream dream

Dream dream
for this surely can't be real
you are me, and i am you
what is up here?

no phone and no internet
could ever come to connect
ones like this
challenging the intellect
am i mad, i do suspect
i do believe that you and me, 
we don't need a cure

for baby you see the things i see
and somehow i feel the way you feel
the Elephant Man within my dreams
is taking us far and far and far
baby you see the things i see 
and somehow i feel the way you feel
baby i know this ain't a dream
we're wide awake and wild my dear
wide awake and wild

blue-green, the pill that i'm supposed to swallow
they say that it will help 
but i don't follow

for i'd rather be a loon, 
take you dancing on the moon
some time soon
and you'd rather be a fool
my exception to the rules
one and true
and i believe we don't need a cure

when you're awake, life is a dream
when you're awake then life is a dream
we're wide awake and wild my dear
wide awake and wild

The Bravest Man I Know


the bravest man i've ever met	
he had some things to regret
he knew well what's a fall
i admired every step
every step he'd take
to slowly rebuild it all

would you take my naked soul
can you steal a smile? he said
could you take it if i kiss you
and you stay a while

	'cause i'm just a broken man
	'cause i'm just a broken man
	but you're the bravest man i've met
	you are the bravest man i've met

life it rolls with highs and lows
and sometimes issues a toll
when you are broke, then you try

to find a reason why
not to wave goodbye
and you are here, though i know
you've found none

all we got is a bag of bricks
and you don't sit and whine
'cause life is what you make of it
and you're brilliant, come take me

	i'm a lonely doll come take me
	i'm a lonely doll
	i'm a lonely doll
	and you are the bravest man i know
	you are the bravest man i know

singing for that parallel universe
playing for another possibility
where the physics said reverse
and the chance said yes to you my dear

you my dear you my dear
yes to you my dear said yes to you
you my dear you my dear
Jesper you're my dear
said yes to you

Sailorman

There came a boy, sun in his smile 
and sea breeze in his hair
Said princess take me for a while
i'll sail you anywhere

and off they went,a nutshell boat
far into the sea
sailed so far until the shore
was just a memory

but then one day she woke alone
abandoned in her wreck
her craving heart knew from the start
that he's not coming back so

she's looking for a new
sailorman to lead her route
she's looking for a new sailor
but to tell the truth,
she's still missing you

no compass and no rows he left
- she whispered to the moon,
sighed a while over that theft
thinking what to do

then of her dress she's made a sail
the breeze saw and stopped by
he said - tell my princess, where you wanna sail
i'll take you for a ride so

she has found her true 
sailorman to lead the route
she has found her true
sailforman to lead the route
she has found her true sailor
but to tell the truth
it takes some time to grow them roots
just take your time to grow your roots

The Title Track of my new upcoming release, in collaboration with Spleen Prod, Berlin. 

A snippet of the gypsy madness taking you to the streets of Barcelona, Istanbul and Berlin, inviting you to read between the lines, as things are not always as it initially seems.

Harlequin - Snippet

Here's a snippet of the electro-folk version of a ballad I've composed a while ago. I had this idea in mind for a long long while and hearing it find its shape finally is.. hard to put to words.

One of my most intimate compositions and works, about the love that stays like an echo after the person that has caused you to feel it, is not among us anymore. Google up the Portuguese "Saudade" or Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian "Sevdah" for a finer understanding of the term.

Echo Love (Saudade) - Snippet

A snippet of my electro-swing cover of Nirvana's hymn "Smells Like Teen Spirit"... It is one of those songs that marked my childhood and my teens, one of those sacred and almost untouchable ones, therefore doing this cover was both a great honor and a great pleasure (especially when it got approved by Nirvana's Publisher!)

In collaboration with Spleen Prod, Berlin.

Smells Like Teen Spirit (Cover) - SNIPPET

This song is a part of "The Archive Box" project. It has its own history, it has its own fairytale. you can read more about "The Archive Box" project at www.stereochemistrymusic.com

Before the Rain

she was never killing time 
yet she always wanted to be found 
by her king and
he never really meant to fight
all he ever wanted was to fly
but the big man 
pointed his index finger on her sky
and yelled attack

even though he tried his best
he just couldn't execute…the task
a detonation
broke his wings upon her roof
strangers, yet she didn't stand aloof
he stained red 
her face with a sticky hand
that she has tried to mend

as the rain came falling down on us
as the rain came falling down on us


language fails but not the tongue
a caress is mute but never dumb
they knew it so well
that their love will never be allowed
by ribbon jacket faces with a frown
by puppet G I Joes
who feared the smiles and sun
so they chased them with their guns

they came marching through the door
brought the rings to enemy and whore
explain it to them jars
that love songs know no bars
they just keep singing

as the rain keeps falling down on us
as the rain keeps falling down on us

the daddy of his far off state
ultimately came to state 
we're enemies no more
blabbered empty this and that
whiskey with the president 
of my home

… but it mattered here no more
'cause we've broken up the doors
we smoked away before

before the rain came falling down on us
before the rain came falling down on us

Autumn longs the summer 
and dresses like the sun
autumn cries the winter 
before it has begun

summer rocks in haze
hides the panic in the sand
for its longest day is 
the beginning of the end

blush my cheeks the unspoiled
innocent of the spring
ignorant of winter or
what the autumn brings

winter guards in the dark
hidden under the snow
the semen of the hope

Sebastian's Lullaby

Sebastian you are
a sun ray fallen on my palm
you are the breeze

Sebastian you came and left
as the first chill in the morning
while it's dawning
but the night ..the night's still here

Sebastian you are his sigh
a sun ray in his hair
a shy tear in my eye
my unspoken my unsaid
my ungiven love

Sebastian sleep safe tonight
your mom and dad will hold you tight
Sebastian this song will reach
far beyond reality
that's keeping you so far from me
1 2 3.. 1 2 3... one to three
one for three.. for you

Sebastian you are
the overtone we sing
weaved into this lullaby
with an invisible ink

in another world i feel i know
you came you came you brought the joy
you're the joy in the attic
you're the laughter in our attic
you're the sunlight in that attic
you are the joy

sebastian sleep safe tonight
your mom and dad will hold you tight
sebastian our song will reach
far beyond reality
that's keeping you so far from me
one..two.. three.. one twothree
one to three one for three.. for you 
(laku noc.. bona nit...)

a little night melody for you who came to me 
a little night melody for you

05 Sebastians Lullaby - The Archive Box - Stereochemistry

Stereochemistry is a one woman music project by Karla – aka Miss Stereochemistry, an ex scientist who left her doctoral studies in Experimental Audiology to approach the listener’s ears from a totally different perspective.  Originally from Belgrade, former Yugoslavia, Karla started making music as a kid, influenced by her father who was also a musician.
During her university years in Italy, Karla founded Stereochemistry, choosing a name that would represent both as a musician and a scientist. After the release of her first demo album, entitled “Love inside” (2005), Stereochemistry moved to Stockholm, Sweden, in order to dedicate herself to both of her passions, starting a PhD in Experimental Audiology at Karolinska Institutet.

But a lab couldn’t contain everything of this gypsy miss. Used to a more adventurous life of a globetrotter around Europe, Karla traded off the lab coat for a cabaret outfit and moved to Barcelona, Spain, where she first performed as a street musician.  And, as the fortune guards the brave&mad, her adventure trip hasn’t stopped ever since! Stereochemistry’s original stage presence has struck many ears and hearts across the globe. Characterized by self-ironic & sincere life stories, weaved into a theatrical performance and trademarked by the original costumes & outfits, Stereochemistry’s music & cabaret show certainly won’t leave anybody indifferent.  In September 2010, Stereochemistry released her first live/studio album called “Vagabond Cabaret”. Recorded in Istanbul, “Vagabond Cabaret” is a collection of Stereochemistry’s travel experiences and curious little life stories. A year-long tour that followed, took Karla and her music across 9 European countries.

Two singles, “Cotton Candy Love” (2010) and “Shut Up and Fuck Me” (2011) were released while on the road. After 344 days spent in a suitcase, Stereochemistry is now based mostly in Berlin, where she has recently published her second album entitled “The Archive Box”.

“The Archive Box” is more then an album, though, it is a part of the homonymous conceptual art concept, where the physical and digital release are distinct, yet interactive and interconnected:
- the physical release is limited to 50+2 hand crafted interactive boxes for archiving all those things that find no other place in our lives. The boxes come supplied with some initial memories and analog interactive games, besides the music;
- the digital release included the partial opening of the box once a month: one song was released and set free for digital download, together with its fairytale and an animation video (available on Stereochemistrymusic.com, Soundcloud, Revebrnation, Myspace, etc..).
Click here to learn more about The Archive Box project.

Being a notorious workaholic, Stereochemistry is now working on a several new projects which will hit your ears and eyes in the following months, so stay tuned. 
Among which... the "SWEEP" ALBUM, which will hit your ears on December 21st 2012!
