This is my first track for 2015!!! I wish i had a gospel choir for the middle section of the song but the only one available to sing was a white guy with a cold. Nevermind...

Here are the lyrics:

I am walking down the street
thanking the Lord i still got my feet
there's so much pain and crying 
all around me

As i'm still walking down the road
all that i do is to sing my song
man i'm so glad that sadness hasn't 
found me

I' m waiting for nothing
this is really something
i' m telling you one thing
i' m waiting for nothing

Some crazy people are passing me by
they 're always running but i don't know why
whatever they 're chasing
they don't seem to catch it

The sun is setting behind a cloud
a strange red light is filling the town
thank God that i have still the eyes 
to see it

I' m waiting for nothing
this is really something
i' m telling you one thing
i' m waiting for nothing

Got to get to the point
where the only feel is joy
and we won't keep trying to
break each others' hearts

Got to get to a place
where we all can find the space
and the time we need to
fix our broken parts

My girl has run away from me
i guess it's sad but it had to be
i hope she knows that i will 
always love her, love her, 
love her, love her...

I'm waiting for nothing
this is really something
i' m telling you one thing
i' m waiting for nothing

Dial my Heart

My earliest musical memories are of a small home on Williams Street, where my family moved when I was three. After dinner, my father would play hymns on his Conn organ, and I would sing along. That simple, shared ritual was my first introduction to music.

Our time at the organ came to an end a couple of years later when we moved, and my father's schedule became busier with teaching, pastoring, and graduate studies. I soon moved on to singing along to albums of musicals, and eventually, my mother became my first piano teacher. But I'll always remember that it was my father who first gave me a love for music. This piece is in his memory of him.

Games of Shadows - Improvised Piano Piece

About the Song – “Paths” A soulful jazz reflection on life’s journey. This song is a tribute to the roads we walk, the people we meet, and the lessons we learn along the way. It’s not a farewell, but a gentle reminder that every ending is also a beginning. Let it comfort, uplift, and maybe even surprise you. We’ll meet again.

"PATHS" - After going home: we'll meet again!

We are born and then we die, that's what you can be sure of.  it's just how we live that counts.

Unfamiliar Song.

Hey all guys, hope you agree with me - that all girls should be treated fairly!
I don't think I need to specify which places are referred to in this song!
A picture of my daughters little puppy dog - Solveig!

 How are They Doing

There was a great time when they felt that life was wonderful
they could walk on the streets without
any person who was spying on them
but now it’s not such a good time
They can’t do what they want
and they can’t wear the clothes they love

How come it has been such a big change concerning rules for girls
maybe it is depending on
the guys who are ruling their land
it is not easy to understand
The girls can’t do what they want
and they can’t study what they need

The world must protest against these men who are ruling there
maybe they have never listened to their mum
when she told them how everything should be
they have ignored all what she said
The girls can’t do what they want
and they can’t study medicine


Lyrics in Swedish

Hur mår de?

Det var en fantastisk tid när de tyckte att livet var underbart.
De kunde gå på gatorna utan
någon som spionerade på dem.
Men nu är det inte så bra.
De kan inte göra vad de vill.
Och de kan inte bära de kläder de älskar.

Hur kommer det sig att det har varit en så stor förändring gällande regler för flickor?
Kanske beror det på
killarna som styr deras land.
Det är inte lätt att förstå.
Flickorna kan inte göra vad de vill.
Och de kan inte studera vad de behöver.

Världen måste protestera mot dessa män som styr där.
Kanske har de aldrig lyssnat på sin mamma.
När hon berättade för dem hur allting borde vara.
De har ignorerat allt hon sa.
Flickorna kan inte göra vad de vill.
Och de kan inte studera medicin.
