Great track! Big drums. Lovely vocals and meaningful lyrics. Rock on Janne and Per!

Wow, great song, strong start, like the collab!

Shock the Algorithm

And2End

This is the second collaboration I’ve worked on with the very talented Mark Spruce (Original Spruce).  

This is a folk song exploring the boundaries between this world and the spiritual world and tells the tale of an encounter with a Robin in a churchyard.

Music & performance by James Whiteman. 

Best with headphones. Hope you enjoy it. 

Take care

Lyrics:

Sky light Grey 

I stood in the church yard
Cold winters day
My back to the beach tree
Sky light grey

On the branch above me
Cock robin perched 
He sang then stared intently 
I returned his gaze

He repeated his song
And looked again
I smiled and nodded
Like we were friends 

I turned so slowly
As he moved to another branch
Eyeball to eyeball 
Repeat performance 

We both stood still
Locked in our game
He moved on once more
To repeat his refrain

I turned one eighty
When he landed behind me
My smile got wider
My heart got lighter
Watching each other
I'm absorbing this experience 

Then he came closer
We had circled the tree
A mystical moment 
This bird and me

You said your father
Would return
In the spirit of a robin
Watching over us one day

As I stood in that churchyard
Lost in that moment
I felt your father 
Came back to say

I'm here, I'm still here
I will always be here

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

Rock and Roll Kills

It Won't Take Forever

A song about how I came to learn to play the guitar and start to write songs. I am very sorry for the poor sound. But at the moment I can only record with my phone. That's why I have to play the song in one go. The drums are just the built-in drum accompaniment of my amplifier, which I switched on in this song after the first chords. I will buy an audio interface and try to find a DAW (free or not too expensive) - if you know a free one, you can send me a PM.
One day I will manage to get a better sound, I am sure! But for the first songs, only all live-played with the drums from my amp recorded via phone, since I cannot do more at the moment. Perhaps some like it nevertheless? I am a bit excited about pulishing my first track here...
Since someone asked for the lyrics:

Motörhead is dead
A song called Ramones brought me to them
In my girlsroom I learned to play the guitar
I knew that I would not get very far
When my teacher told us, Motörhead is dead
I wanted to find out the music they made
The music was so fast, the sound was so hard
A song called Ramones brought me to them
Another great band
A second hand guitar, amp from my brother, too loud for my mother
In my girlsroom, on my bed, with headphone on, guitar in hand
With every chord I felt more alive
Motörhead and the Ramones became my drive
I plug in my amp and turn on the sound
Playing Motörhead so loud
With Motörhead my journey had begun
Now I write songs one by one
I learn how to rock and run
And Motörhead lives on and on and on and on

Motorhead Is Dead

Had a little dry spell, hopefully it's over now. In the span of 24 hours I have alternated between hating and loving this track about 400 times...

If you need a helping hand
Someone who understands
Don’t shed a tear, I’m right here

If you need a dollar bill
Or have a little time to kill
Baby you know I will
I’m right here

When you’re down and blue
And you need two big strong arms to pull you through
Hold on tight, that’s what i’ll do

These are more than just words I say
I’m here for you night and day
Have no fear I'm right here

When the road is long
And you need someone to beside you, I’ll come along
Anywhere with you, is the place where I belong

These are more than just words I say
I’m here for you every day
Have no fear I'm right here
Have no fear I'm right here
Let me make this clear

I'm Right Here

'courage'

Moments often can not be rehearsed. 
And we're left wishing that we could reverse
time to change our ways.
Oh, what I've come to learn with age
is I've had it in myself this whole time. Courage. 

Strength to walk away without resolve.
Pain that dissipates when I'm absolved
solely from the blame.
Yet, how quickly truths can change
when it's rearranged to suit the needs of all. 

I've been living in an opened cage.
My freedom is my own yet I'm afraid
to spread my wings and fly
from all the years I've lived this lie.
But the time has come for me to break these chains.

courage

My beloved children this song is for you
I just want to give a bit of my view
On what I have thought on
Lately, when I think of you..

I promised to be a role model for you
But I made mistakes
I stumbled on my way
Although I tried my best for you..

Sometimes it sure was hard to see
when I made difficult choices
which you thought was wrong
And sometimes I didn't seem strong..

Sometimes we argued and disagreed
I didn't always understand
That you could get tired
Of living with me
And my weak memory..

I could get mad for no reason at all
It wasn't fair
I was just tired
But you was never to blame..

My beloved children this song is for you
I love you so much
I am so proud
For what you have become
My beloved daughters and sons

My Beloved Children W/ Janne Hennie

Far up in the sky
a falcon flies
With a proud and raised head
It sails away

Chorus:
Looking down at us
With his sharp falcon gaze...
Looking down at us
with his sharp falcon gaze..

He wonder about us
the human race
Consider our mistakes
with his falcon gaze..

chorus..

He cannot understand
in his falcon brain
How the human race
can have any gain..

Chorus..

Why do we destroy
what is around us?
Nature is torn down
No place for a falcon..

Chorus..

The falcon flies on
hope to find
A safe place to land
while the earth breaks...

Looking down at us
With his sharp falcon gaze..

The Falcon W/ Janne Hennie
