Bet my soul

"Morfar" means Grandpa in Swedish, textually "Father of the mother"...if someone wonder about the meaning of it. The rest of the story is easier to spot, Max is four years old, I had to trick him to say what you hear in this tune ...It is gonna be a surprise for him. Myself...I enjoy every single step while doing this "funny" tune for him. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do 😊❤

[Verse 1]
I could sit on the floor in a room painted with halos
It has the walls covered with frames of absent tomorrows
I could stand in the backyard and reach the arc of a rainbow
Holding flares, firing glares, the spaces are shallow
I barely care, I’m not aware, of random scenarios

[Bridge]
I read the news on the paper, inside a bunker I shelter, is it real, I freeze
Under malicious laughters, under the words of disaster, is it real, I believe
Let me think…

[Chorus]
And now I'm breathing in an ocean from the pages of an altar. Undertow
And now I'm moving up with caution. With my head between my shoulders. Your cold 

[verse 2]
I can see something bright, a sort of light in the dark of the forest
With folded wings, and it sings a welcoming harvest
I could stare at the prize, I close my eyes, the dream of a contest
I play my part and trust my heart, Ignore the rest
I barely care, I’m not aware, I'll do my best

[Bridge]

[Chorus ]
And now I'm breathing in an ocean from the pages of an altar. Undertow
And now I'm calling out the station from my planet to another. No sound
And now I'm moving up with caution. With my head between my shoulder. Your cold

Tell Me

Recently a very nice contact arose with a young musician colleague from Norway. He kindly allowed me to remix his outstanding song "The girl with the mechanical heart" in my version. I have created two versions of it. This one (cello version) I upload here on my soundcloud page.

Please visit "Martin D" on his youtube-channel and listen to his original song! Here is the link to it:

...and now also to be found here: https://soundcloud.com/martin-dalen
Listen here: 🆕▶️ https://on.soundcloud.com/EWjNP
🙏🏻
Please, visit his wonderful creativity. 

The cover image was created with the help of midjourney's AI. It converts text into images. Beyond imagination, but (unfortunately?) possible. I let my mental visions flow in, typed in a text and THIS came out within a few seconds.

So enjoy all the music & pictures...

Dangerous Assignment

The Drift

Somethings you don’t mention.
See them but don’t say.
Not up for conversation.
Words might misbehave.

Staying undiscovered.
Just outside of view.
Nothing much to speak of.
Much to misconstrue.

Little Daisy Bracelet with her daisy chain.
Playing in the garden, praying it won’t rain.
Petals need protection, yellow hearts do too.
Little Daisy Bracelet, not quite like me and you.
Her feelings are true.

A kind of contemplation.
Expression deep in thought.
Forever living just beside.
Fleeting, never caught.

A rare communication.
Same process, different mind.
Tenderest of tender moments.
Her eyes lock on mine.

Little Daisy Bracelet standing in the rain.
Holding her umbrella, playing dead again.
In her head she’s dreaming but through her eyes we see.
Little Daisy Bracelet’s not quite like you and me.
She will always be free.

I met you on Langham Street
Our eyes have locked on the same beat
Big Ben's ticking stopped a while
Our hearts took over keeping time
Sharing pints, you told me your life story
Your life story. It felt so right

I thought you could feel the way I do
Something you said made me fell for you
I thought you could feel the way I do
And now I’m lost without a clue

Your are like a celestial object
You shine even more as you got closer
This is my first day without you around
The sky is grey and my heart run aground
Staring at an empty Langham Street

I thought you could feel the way I do
Something you did made me fell for you
I thought you could feel the way I do
And now I’m lost without a clue

You shine even more as you got closer
Your orbit pushed you away

I thought you could feel the way I do
Something in the air made me fell for you 
I thought you could feel the way I do
But now I’m lost without a clue

I thought you could feel the way I do

Langham Street (The way I do)
