A break and Christmas holliday

You might have noticed that I have not been blogging so much this month. I am publishing my memoirs at www.solskugga.com and promoting my new album Gardenia - so I don't really have time to write here that much. I'll be back on the new year, but till then please visit www.solskugga.com for updates, news, some poems etc, and I am struggling to translate those writings for you...

Love/Sol

popcuts.com

Tonight I have found a smart new site, I just have to make some buzz about it =)

So here's how it works. You buy a song from me, and then, for every new sale I make on that special item, you get 40% of the money. Like an investment program, where you can actually make money by supporting me. Spread to your friends and let's earn some money together ;)

New site finally launched

It feels sooo good to have my site up, go get yourself an account, download my music for free, crawl into my past through words, illustrations and so on. I'll keep adding content to it every day now =)

Also, I'll spend November in two ways: completing my book and recording an unplugged cd with jazz and pop songs, that i will perform in restaurants etc during next year. Might be some Christmas songs to...haha.

Since I'll pay time and effort in my book, I won't show up here so much before new year, so take care and drop by my www.solskugga.com instead =) I think about publishing my new book chapter by chapter in my members area, what do you think?

see ya!

Suck.

Orka inte ens skriva ner det där som ramlade ner för mina kinder nyss.
Och jag kan fortfarande inte tillåta mig utrymme att berätta om varför jag egentligen är ledsen. Munnen pratar om ekonomi, boende och karriär när den inre monologen vältrar sig i minnen och rädslor som är förknippade med människor i min inre krets.

Jag är bara så trött på att förklara.
På att behöva vara en del av det där förflutna som kryper upp i nacken och flåsar med jämna mellanrum. Hade jag inte skakat av mig det där? Lyckades jag inte lura mig att jag kunde leva i nuet utan att ha ett förflutet som någon annan än jag själv har del i?

Jag är fortfarande en dumsnäll ko. Men spö ska han ha. Nästa vecka.

Love and Affection.

Han lever bevisligen i alla fall...och våran tankeöverföring fungerar fortfarande.

Haha.
Not.

Evening in Sthlm

I'm back in Sthlm, trying to take care of a tired Mattias. I think we'll watch Ronja Rövardotter and sleep soon. What's with the world. My friends struggle so hard, with so many great ideas, still it ends up with people feeling sick around me. But I'm back on my feet now, pretty calm and actually longing for online conversations again.

Tomorrow you'll see me in the city, and on bambuser, working my new web page =)Tonight I have almost finished my booklet for Gardenia, it's a bit hard to get the songs in a pleasant order, we'll see where it ends.

Gahw. Uhm.
Jaddi jaddi...same same.

I'll be deeper another day ;)

Finally finished my Gardenia album

As you might have noticed, I have been inside my Garden, taking care of my roots, my beloved and myself for a while. Tonight I have just finished mastering my Gardenia album, so just give me 1 week to get it in order to be printed, might be that a bigger promotion company enters the Sol Skugga boat this time, if not I release it online in a downloadable version. I am completely broke now, so I just have to work a bit to have money enough to post and print promo-ex to everyone out there who helped me out with my "swimming without webbed toes" last winter.
Please hang in there, I am very close now =)

I hope you are still out there and that I'll be able to touch you another time, after this 4 month of silence. This time I give you the key to my Garden, it's not a dark place, it is a realm full of white flowers, sparkling water, green grass and completion - but also sorrow, as it comes with life.


And love.


That warm love I've been seeking (If I have found it? Well, listen to the last song on the record and create your own opinion) ;) *hint hint*. So cry with me through this songs, be angry with me, or just lay down and cover the love of your heart with kisses, as I have done, working on this album. And don't be afraid to feel.


And don't be surprised if next album comes out with some punk-pop-jump-around sound ^_^ Underneath all this murky, dark shades I have presented to you, I'm a big smile painted by the rainbow. To really be true to yourself, I believe you have to embrace every part of your inside.
Bla bla bla ;)

Also check out my www.solskugga. nu next weekend, you'll be able to log in och get your hands on everything I can possibly give away. I know you haven't received Empty Street yet, I've had big issues on how to send files to you, that I hope I'll solve this week.


So, once you have received Gardenia and listened to it, please tell me which song (on top of Empty Street) that you'd like me to create a winter-music-movie to in December. It'd be nice if we could work together in this way. Also, I'll need room to stay around New York, Boston, Los Angeles, California next spring. If you'd like some company, please tell me so! There's no place I'd rather be then in your living-room really.

I trust you with my soul and hope that you are not complete freaks out there ;) *laugh*

Help me do this and I'll do my best to spread some beauty in return.
