Transition syndrome

A little snippet of a gig we did for the ongoing SoundKlub crew; who have been putting on experimental music events in my hometown for more than a decade. Apologies to Dani Kirby as this piece is less of a duet and more a study of me being a soundhog and playing more or less a bass solo over her keyboard and vocal work.

The Silence

Le Silence  (The Silence)

The Title of the song can be understood in 2 ways:
1. a reflection of the current Corona crisis we are in
2. the feeling I still have since I play this 8 string beast, that I bought myself in January 2020. Always used to be at home on 6 strings, this one is really a challenge, which I am getting only slowly under control.
 Never in my life I had to search on a guitar for the deep e-string :-)

Shivers down the spine 
The spine of the book
The book of the film
The film of the day
Day or night-time
Time to shine
Shine the light
Light the scene

Scene-set the place 
Place the order
Order the treat
Treat the cause
Cause the ruin
Ruin the play
Play the song
Sing the fear
Fear and isolation
Isolate the source
Source the space
Fear and isolation
Fear and isolation

Isolation

My new release is a fantasy adventure song featuring the wonderful Lena Arlid on vocals!

I debated whether or not to scrap this one completely or just finish it, but I couldn't start anything else either, I was in such a rut. So, I took a couple of weeks off. It's hard to get out of a rut when you can barely get out of your house, but we went kayaking, and cooked some good meals and drank. a lot, a whole lot,  and I finally felt inspired enough to finish it. I've already started a new one so maybe the block has passed...

That's the first descant i've ever done in the outro, des CAN'T? more like des CAN, okay it's more of a des MAYBE...enough, I hate singing lol

You are everything to  me  
You loosened up the chains and set me free
Thank you for the love you’ve given me 
You are my destiny

I can see the magic in your smile
I’m sure that this is paradise
Slowly spinning out of time
Till I’m floating weightless in your eyes

It doesn’t have to feel this way
We don’t need the fireworks every day
Just holding hands can make me feel the same
I’m not ashamed to say

It’s the little things make it all worthwhile
Every day give me one more smile	
It’s a little bit of dancing on a Saturday night
A little bit of laughter when things don’t go right

the little things mean the most to me
A lazy day is all I need
A little bit of tenderness to ease the pain
A little bit of love to chase the blues away my baby

Look at all the ways our world has changed
Everything around us is so strange
But I would go through all of this again
For you my love and my best friend…
