Soundtrack of winter's past



Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose, get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter
I put my hand in my fathers glove

I run off where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice you must learn to stand up for yourself
Cause I cant always be around

He says when you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that Ill always want you near
You say that things change my dear

Boys get discovered as winter melts
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and Im here still waiting
Withering where some snowman was

Mirror mirror wheres the crystal palace
But I only can see myself
Skating around the truth who I am
But I know, dad, the ice is getting thing

When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that Ill always want you near
You say that things change my dear

Hair is grey and the fires are burning
So many dreams on the shelf
You say I wanted you to be proud
I always wanted that myself

When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
Cause things are gona change so fast
All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that Ill always want you near
You say that things change my dear

Never change

All the white horses

Christmas in the countryside

So I just taught my parents a bit of reason and logic. I showed the whole project for Weak from beginning till end, adding one channel after another. And I realized that I actually AM a producer. It's been 6 years of dreaming about getting here. Now it can only get better. Next step is to be a great pianist, to broaden my voice, to learn how to record a live-band the best way. To learn the details of the plug-ins I only use now and then. To dive deeper down into the musical universe I have in my mind. I'm not there yet, but I'm a bit closer.

And I wanna edit and direct more movies, work more with photography and get my book published. Next year will truly be exciting.

Enough about me. I hope you are having a wonderful time out there. I was watching Astrid Lindgren, 10 christmas clips, crying. She brought up so many important things, about society, lifestyles, moral and love. I could only hope that one day I will create something that really really matters. Something you can relate to, o matter where you live or in what age you are.

That must be one of the many meanings of life...

Sorry for my English. I'm a bit tired. Gotta shower now and go to bed and read a good book.

Luve ya!

Tarot card house - spring will come

An ambience song I just made, the soundtrack to a magical evenging that I also did record on my webcam for you.

Trade The Movie

So, the day started in tears and ended in tears. I cried in my sleep as I dreamed that my beloved sisters youngest daughter drowned, and now I have just tortured myself over again, watching the movie TRADE.

tradethemovie.com

It's about trafficking. Buying and selling and using young, pure children.

I have been stuck in this emotional corner so many times before. I truly hope I can make some difference, if so for only one or two persons out there, during next year.

I have so many travels to do. So many places to go. So many neighbors to help.
I think I am done now. That I am so strong as a person, so finished with my personal travel and growth, that I can face this, and act upon it. Not only give away money, but truly get involved.

I'll get back on this subject when I am more calm then now.

Take care of each other and smile to strangers in the street. You never know where they are heading or where they come from...

Bird art =)

A small Café to be

I sit and think of my definition of a home.
I want a fireplace, a corner for my books and a bed big enough for visitors staying over night. The kitchen should be open and filled with candles. That's all. Maybe a dog, a small cow, a goat and a horse too, if it's a small house in the countryside.

But most of all I consider home to be a place where I can invite strangers, friends, artists and writers to share a cup of coffee or tea, a cake and discuss whatever may be on their mind. A open living room in a small caffe that I own, where I can paint the walls in the colors of my soul, where people can sell art, perform music or just hang around. They may bring their own food, literature or games, or grab something I have to offer that day. I'll create that place during next year, if I can afford it. If I find the right spot. And I will sit down with my guests, work with them, kiss them hello and goodbye and spread my love, show a movie some night and read some poems another evening. Sometimes we offer breakfast, sometimes we don't.

That's how I wanna live, in a mach up with long days in a studio environment, among beautiful, warm and inspiring people.

Can I have that?
