Ibland behövs något riktigt stadigt att luta sig mot

Text:
Today I clung (on) to a tree
It was there so firm supporting me
I felt the roughness of the bark, it scratched against my skin
as I sobbed, it couldn’t match what I felt within

I’ve been looking for so long 
Something to hold me up to hold on
I gave it all my load and still It never gave way
Like it wanted to say: come back and cling on me another day 

I left my tree back on the slope
And kept on my walk with slight of hope 
I know there’s something in the world that’ll stand although I crack
There’s a tree on a slope to cling to when I come back

Today I Clung To A Tree

Podcast 1184: Super Psyched: Unleash the Power of the 4 Types of Connection

This recording gently guides you to release the weight of a mistake you’ve been carrying. Through powerful visualization, it helps you imagine being forgiven by someone who sees your humanity and worth. By allowing yourself to accept this forgiveness, you begin to soften self-criticism and embrace the truth that you are not defined by your mistakes. Listening deeply to this recording encourages self-forgiveness, lightens emotional burdens, and fosters a sense of self-compassion. It’s a powerful tool to free yourself from guilt and regret, helping you move forward with greater peace, self-acceptance, and the humility to let go.

Hej och välkommen till Linas sånger!
Här samlar jag några av de sånger som jag skriver med ojämna mellanrum. Flera av dem har en tydlig kristen inriktning medan andra är mer allmänt hållna. Jag skriver sånger för att uttrycka känslor eller upplevelser jag haft, för att jag saknar ett visst ämne eller bara för att det är roligt att sjunga och skriva. Det är lite som sudoku, det är utmanande att få in en viss text på ett visst antal rader. Vissa av sångerna finns utgivna på förlaget Brukssånger. Vill du köpa en not kan du titta på deras förlag eller kontakta mig direkt. De har också spelat in egna versioner av sångerna. 
Är du nyfiken på hur en sång kom till? Klicka in på en låt. Läs om det och hur den kan användas. Du hittar även texten på varje sång. 
Jag skriver brukssånger, för att brukas. Välj ditt eget sammanhang att framföra sången. Kanske du känner att du behöver ändra lite på texten för att den ska passa just dig. Det är helt okej. 
De inspelningar som finns här är från en gudstjänst där min syster med familj, trummis, basist och jag själv spelade. Församlingen är med och spelar rytminstrument. I mina vänners vardagsrum jobbades det hårt en helg. Barnen Ivar och Iris är med och sjunger och spelar. Anna spelar piano och sjunger, Jakob har skött ljudtekniken såväl som sjungit och spelat. Jag själv spelar gitarr på någon låt. Stort tack till alla som låter och får det att låta på de olika inspelningarna! 
Om du spelar någon av mina sånger får du gärna skicka en inspelning till mig. Det är roligt att höra hur de tolkas. Och kontakta gärna Stim där jag är medlem. Välkommen att titta runt! Och kom gärna tillbaka, det kommer mer. Ha det så fint!
