Duration: 3 min 1 s
Description: As a child I went to the birthplace of Carl von Linnaeus every summer to run in the open fields and get the most out of the beautiful nature of Råshult and Såganäs together with my childhood friends. It brings warm feelings in my heart, this is where I belong.. <3

Elegant and pretty melody and nice sense of warmth

Wonderful mastery of melody.  Unusual these days......

Mycket fint! Det behövs mer vacker musik i världen och du gör din del : )

Very nice melody! The beauty of simplicity...

Listening to this again. It's just a lovely piece. Very firm and confident writing.

So pleased I discovered you and your music Petra, it’s melodic with beautiful textures.

"Clotilda" is the infamous slave ship that brought Africans into America... 
it's coded in faded vocal samples, and chill instrumentation. It is the first single from the my latest album, "Diaspora", out now on Bandcamp. "Calm the waters"..  🙏 much love.

What was the best part of your childhood?  For me it was Scarborough Beach and playing the piano.  I also loved school.  Mostly because elementary school was a really fun place to be and there were so many things to do!  My inspiration for writing this song came from looking at a photo album of me and my daughters.  Precious times...

LYRICS

The moment she couldn’t speak up
The moment she was afraid 

The moment no-one listened 
To a word she had to say 
The moment no one heard her voice 
And nothing could be saved 

The moment she had flashbacks 
The moment she had dismissed 

The moment she went inward 
Hiding from the world 
The moment she was a victim 
As an innocent young girl

This world makes me angry

Its no joke
That’s a real person 
How can you laugh
That’s a real person
What’s the matter with you
That’s a real person 
Broken and bruised 
So messed up
That’s a real person 
Screaming for help 

The moment she felt nothing
The moment she gave up

The moment she stopped eating 
Making herself sick
The moment she was pretending 
To find somewhere to fit 

The moment she felt dizzy 
From episodes of vertigo

The moment no one gave a shit
To ask if she’s ok
The moment no one noticed
An angel sick in pain 

This world makes me angry 

Its no joke
That’s a real person 
In pain
How can you laugh
That’s a real person
On the edge 
What’s the matter with you
That’s a real person 
Broken and bruised 
So messed up
That’s a real person 
That’s a real person 
That’s a real person

The Moment

This is a really old song of mine written back in 1998. It's not recorded very well, I had an old 8 track tape machine back then, but it's a fun song with a catchy hook. I play the banjo on this one, very hard instrument to play for me. I think my fingers were bleeding after the recoding! Charlie did a great job singing it. I also produced a video for it, that's new and it's on YouTube for your viewing pleasure! https://youtu.be/2ghrmaDRhZw
 The video was very much fun to do as well. So the moral of the song is: Spring Is Here, Heaven Is Here, Life's Too Short, so let's live it up a little and have some fun, shall we?!🥂👍✌🏼😎

“LIFE’S TOO SHORT!”

WELL I’VE BEEN USED AND I’VE BEEN WRONGED,
I’VE BEEN ABUSED FOR WAY TOO LONG,
IT’S TIME TO SING A DIFFERENT SONG,
CAUSE LIFE’S TOO SHORT TO BE PUT ON,
              
WELL I’VE BEEN HAD AND I’VE BEEN FOOLED,
I LET MY HEART DICTATE THE RULES,
I TOOK MY LUMPS BUT PAID MY DUES,
AND LIFE’S TOO SHORT TO CRY THE BLUES,
                   
IT SEEMS TO ME REVENGE IS BITTER-SWEET,
SO I’LL FOCUS ON THE ROAD AHEAD,
AND GET BACK ON MY FEET,  
                   
NOW I’VE BEEN DUMPED, RIPPED-OFF, AND RAPED,
NEVER BEEN SHY TO TAKE THE BAIT,      
SOME JUST WAKE-UP A LITTLE LATE,
BUT LIFE’S TOO SHORT FOR ME TO WASTE, 

[LEAD]                  

IT SEEMS TO ME REVENGE IS BITTER-SWEET,
SO I’LL FOCUS ON THE ROAD AHEAD,
AND GET BACK ON MY FEET,  
                       
WELL I’VE BEEN HAD AND I’VE BEEN FOOLED,
I LET MY HEART DICTATE THE RULES,        
I TOOK MY LUMPS BUT PAID MY DUES,
AND LIFE’S TOO SHORT TO CRY THE BLUES,
YES LIFE’S TOO SHORT TO CRY THE BLUES,
CAUSE LIFE’S TOO SHORT TO CRY THE BLUES,
YES LIFE’S TOO SHORT!
