Very lovely song and performance 🎶😊

Love the slow & progressive walk with a growing intensity, keeping a really nice acoustic feels. And vocals are the cherry (or the heart) of the song

Great lyrics with nice imagery. Love the arrangement 👏

Love everything about this song, amazing you played all the instruments...excellent lyrics...the harmonies are hauntingly beautiful...this is as good as anything I've heard and its quality fits right in with artists like Tyler Childers, Sturgill Simpson, Parker Millsap, and Ruston Kelly...straight to the top of my playlist! I feel there must be a mystical musical portal from Sweden to here in Kentucky. Sam

After almost 1,5 years I was finally able to release this song. It has been a long process writing och producing this one for me. It has been recorded in my appartment, I have played all the instruments by myself and have had the help of my sister with some of the vocals. Hope you enjoy :)

Lyrics:

I've come from a land of chaos and sin
looking for the land of the saints and the kings
and they asked me of my patience and time
but I could not spare them as much as a dime
fumbling in the pockets of a man who is blind
they'll save my heart for another time

and I've been walking with that marching band
where the water runs deep where we once roamed the land
but you won't see me fall or struggle to stand
just to be touched by your rugged hand
I would cast what I owe and crawl through the sand
oh I'm tall and proud with that marching band

and on these cities dirty streets
where the queen dared not set her feet
there my broken body creeps
by the house where only a wise man would sleep
and the angels above do they know how it stings
cause I can't seem to here just what they have to sing

I've come from a land of chaos and sin
looking for the land of the saints and the kings
now these towns and stations all seem the same to me
their memories of the things that brought me to my knees
where my fathers would walk until their feet would bleed 
oh I'm looking for the land of the plow and the seed

The Promised Land

Based in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, Oskar Strömberg is a singer/songwriter with his musical roots in the americana and indie-folk scene. With an introspective style, he writes sentimental tunes about the endeavors and worries of everyday life, along with an underlying longing for rural escape and the passive peacefulness of nature. 

"The contrast between the beautiful, broad, unalloyed peace of Nature—calm, passive, silent, unfathomable,—and our own everyday worries—paltry, sorrow-laden, strife-tormented, puts me beside myself as I keep staring at the hazy, distant, blue line of trees which fringe the fields across the river."
-Rabindranath Tagore

As a self-produced multi-instrumental artist, Oskar writes, records, plays all the instruments and produces all of his own material.
