relateable lyrics. i find that as we get older it's much easier to take off the mask and be who we really are.  And it feels so good.  I love getting older. lol. "I can be the real me." you go girl!

Really like this beautiful ballad...everything sounds great Janne and Per!

Hey Janne, this is wonderful! You have such a wonderful vibrato, which is on full display here. Per provides excellent music, too. Way to go, both of you!

Lovely track!!!!  Excellent collab on all levels.

what a beauty of a song,  that harmony sounds great Janne

@user-253908889 thank you so much Jim,  from both of us 😊

Too Late For Solutions

Dreamofmylife2

So the album I've been working on for quite some time Neurotypical Empire Vol I 2244, is alas, still nowhere near completion. So I've decided to release a second song from it that is fully complete, called Memories Of The Invasion. In this song, we are introduced to the Neurotypical Empire, and how they will stop at nothing to make everybody identical to them and destroy all individuality and difference, and the terrible sacrifice that had to me made to stop them.

Memories Of The Invasion

Oval

when opportunity knocks
on a window, at evening
and the ways of the world 
make you hesitate to open
don't be affraid, I say now
at this moment
the one that'll pass 
will give room to another
but opportunity knocks
until her fists will start bleeding
for that's what she does
and that's what she's needing

let's say, but I'll deny it,
that the mind 
has an oval shape

she will change her appearance
every other time, be it night, be it day
cause opportunity knocks 
when opportunity may
again and again
till the time you will open, 
invite her inside
offer tea and some bisquits
the day once will come
when she knocks on the window
in a perculiar way

let's say, but I'll deny it,
that the mind 
has an oval shape

which leaves no room for hesitation
and she whispers you're needed
to water the plant
she's so lovingly seeded
don't give her no
help her, do her this favor
she'll be a blast of the past 
and the future in reverse
she'll be the now of the moment

let's say, but I'll deny it,
that the mind 
has an oval shape

in the corner of an eye
utopia hid, with a tear and a sigh
produce of the clashing
of a low and a high
kiss a faded picture
hug a memory
remember the delicate tastes
noone else can see
each me  isn't solely mine
none of the me's is solely me
connecting the roots and the branches
are the trunk and stem of the tree
leaves, blossom and fruit
in a state of being motionless free

let's say, but I'll deny it,
that the mind 
has an oval shape

there's no capital for the questionmark
as the god between captions seems
I'm quite sure, but that's just personal,
I'm one of the inbetweens

infinity clothed
in the craze of the day
a shared kind of uniqueness
in a collective sort of way
contradiction in terms 
these are the terms of contradiction
agitation, irritation
it goes a long way, all these little frictions

Oval

I've taken the old blues mythology of riding the freight trains, but set it in outer space. Loosely based on the death cult Heaven's Gate. They left their earthly bodies in 1997 to join a spaceship hiding inside comet. Psychedelic blues in a "Roky Erickson and the Aliens" style.

Lyrics:
Get your shoes by Adidas and put them on
Get yourself 5 quarters and a five dollar bill
It's enough to get you ready for the ride
I'm going to hitch that train with the aliens
Get on that train
Interplanetary
(Choo-Choo)

Yeah, you've got a purple scarf
And some applesauce
Enjoy that vodka shot
You never can tell 
How a man's going to live his life
Get on that train
C'mon, hitch a ride with the aliens
Get on that train
Interplanetary
(Choo-Choo)

You never know how a man will live his life
If he's wrong or right
You never can tell
How you'll end your life
Get on that train
Hitch a ride with the aliens
Get on that train
Interplanetary
(Choo-Choo)
All aboard!

Interplanetary (choo choo!)

A remake of an early KORG track I wrote back in 2015; brought bang up to date and with maximum power; please play this track LOUD and preferably through headphones for best effect - enjoy!!

Ambient/New age track for meditation. Technically I have used a minimalistic approach. A midi file is generated with a NodeJS/Typescript application I have written, rendered with timidity and mixed with audacity on very old laptop running puppy Linux. I have added two nature sound layers. All the rest comes from the generated midi file. Enjoy.

Past Rag Time

Well, its a Monday so that can only mean one thing, Its time for a remix of a song from 2016 that no one asked for!
So here is my alternate version and remix of this awesome song.
Its filled with awesome performances and magic.
As it's an alternate version, there are some differences between this and the original. The intro is completely rebuilt as i didn't have any of the parts. I also decided to use a previous arrangement with a piano solo instead of an acoustic guitar solo, and omitted a keyboard solo. This was mainly done because i genuinely feel like its the best choice for the song, but also because i didn't have them!

This was such a pleasure to work on, in 2016 OR 2023.

Lyrics:

I always had to wear the mask on
Pretended to be someone, someone who wasn't me
I was afraid to show myself
Didn't let anyone get to close
Didn't know how to be

But you, saw me for who i am
I didn't have to pretend
You saw the real me
It felt like i had been found
And i could let the mask fall to the ground

I had built myself a wall, of heavy rocks
where no one could get trough
I tried so hard to hide
That i almost forgot that i had you

Oh you saw me for who i am
I didn't have to pretend
You saw the real me
It felt like i had been found
And i could let the mask fall to the ground

When I am with you i feel so free
I can be the real me

Oh you see me for who I am
I don't have to pretend
You see the real me
It feels like i have been found
And i can let the mask fall to the ground....
