Nice drop here! Beautiful melodies, greta groove! Bravo!

Many thanks to Michael Dellman for his patience on this track so happy he reached out to me from the other side of this world and ask me to write lyrics to his music.

Heitið by Laxá really captures the essence of their Icelandic post-rock. The strings of the Heima Kvartett, Mike's keyboards, Jussi's guitar work and the ever-present driving reggae feel of Bjarne's and Matthias' back line. It's a dark and cinematic piece with brooding deep bass driven by the drums.



Laxá & Heima Kvartett are:
Jussi Siglarson - Guitar
Bjarne Guðjohnsen - Bass
Matthias Helguson - Drums
Mike Taylor - Keyboards
Lisbeth Heima - Violin
Sif Árnadóttir - Violin
Natasha Guðmundsdóttir - Viola
Ída Sigurðardóttir - Cello

According to the alchemists of old, there are four different kinds of fire: celestial fire, earthly fire, elemental fire … and secret fire. This song is about the secret fire. 

I'm very grateful to @APi_ZZ for setting my words to such captivating music.

When Prometheus stole the fire from Olympus, 
It wasn’t a nova that illumined his course, 
Neither peat of hearth, nor flames from forge; 
Or passion smouldering in his phallic horn. 
All these fires already by man were availed. 
No, it was the secret fire, 
That no mortal man ever saw unveiled.

Now the ziggurats are scarlet with blood, 
Inanna's chalice, snatched from her hand, 
Pours into the Tigris, the Euphrates, the Nile, the flood. 
Hierodules torn from purple sheets 
Sold in the market like prostitutes. 
The Mysteries parsed through cost benefit sheets, 
And twisted to fit by men in black suits.

If Forethought was there, what was his reasoning? 
The collapse of His-story, the church and the steeple? 
To bring the Black Swan and open Pandora's Box? 
Now refugees swarm like Sea Peoples of old, 
From the cruel bloodbaths of Masters of War, 
And Lady Victory turns away her cheek, 
Refusing to grace such monstrous cheats.

The moral of His-story? There are no morals anymore.
They quickly followed all sense of decency, 
as it was jettisoned out the door… and yet… 
It is the only boat back to shore.
So take it, or be lost at sea, 
In the deluge sent by those Olympians of old 
And understand, now, all those who can, 
in order to be a god, you must first learn to be a man.

 I speak of the secret fire, flash of enlightenment, 
The wise serpents of divine lightning. 
It made Saul fall from his horse; 
In the Upper Room, struck the twelve apostles. 
The grace, the Shekinah, to us was delivered 
By one chained to a rock, while a crowned eagle 
Pecked away at his liver.

When Prometheus stole the fire from Olympus, 
It wasn’t a nova that illumined his course, 
Neither peat of hearth, nor flames from forge; 
Or passion smouldering in his phallic horn. 
All these fires already by man were availed. 
It was, now you know, the secret fire, 
That no mortal man ever saw unveiled.

Secret Fire

You Left My Heart In A Sling

Got a dose of the lovers blues
Like a first scuff on new shoes
Spit and polish ain’t gonna move
The deepness of this groove 
Got a dose of a foggy mind
And the way ahead ain’t signed 
The thought I need I cannot find
I don’t feel aligned 

You broke my circuit
You took the biscuit
I cannot risk it again
It’s how you left me 
With a broken wing

You left my heart in a sling oh baby
You left my heart in a sling yeah yeah
You left my heart in a sling oh baby 
You left my heart in a sling yeah yeah
The cast is set
Around the break you left

You believe that this pain is fake
‘Cos you cannot see the break
The conclusion that you make 
I’m feigning this heartache
The move you made that left me broke
Hid that dagger in your cloak 
Made a lie of words we spoke 
The pain they now evoke 

You broke my circuit
You took the biscuit
I cannot risk it again
It’s how you left me 
With a broken wing

You left my heart in a sling oh baby
You left my heart in a sling yeah yeah
You left my heart in a sling oh baby 
You left my heart in a sling yeah yeah
The cast is set
Around the break you left

All along you had me believing 
Yet your true thoughts you were shielding 
Yes all along your axe was wielding
About to strike 

You left my heart in a sling oh baby
You left my heart in a sling yeah yeah
You left my heart in a sling oh baby 
You left my heart in a sling yeah yeah
The cast is set
Around the break you left

You Left My Heart In A Sling

went away for a bit to become a better songwriter and producer. This is one of the songs I've been brewing up!

Waymouth square
Lyrics:

A-deel  

In the sleepy town of Waymouth 
I learned God was a phony 
From the moment I was sold 
to my man in his fourty’s 
He’s always late, never early 
speaks polite, hair straight not curly 
Morning after morning he bakes me apple pies 
From the fresh love and the money that he always provides 
Yet when I’m lying in our selfmade paradise 
I close my eyes 

B-deel 

And my life, changes just a bit 
Like the weather does 
I say, after rainy days 
You'll see the sun shine through 
Wings on my wedding ring 
Fly away so so-o-o-on 

Hook 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh x4 

A-deel 

In the sleepy town of Waymouth 
They hide behind their work 
Their rigorous tasks that can’t even give a smirk 
But when the last rays of sun fade away 
I write in my dairy everyday 
To finance my escape from this peaceful town 
To get my anger out when I’m feeling down 
And as the words go from thoughts to rhymes I 
Close my eyes 
 
B-deel 

And my life, changes just a bit 
Like the weather does  
I say, after rainy days 
You'll see the sun shine through 
Grown, I’m far away from home 
Will I be back  so-o-o-on? 

Hook 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh x10

Just an amateur having fun. Some songs are pro- demos and some are my own GarageBand efforts, aiming to learn a bit of production. But I enjoy the writing part the most. Influences are Queen, Beatles + solos, Elton John, Billy Joel, ELO. Play piano, mostly classical, Chopin is my favourite
