New stuff: Dina drömmar EP
In a flash of creativity and thanks to some new software instruments I recorded three songs in a few weeks time. I chose to put them all together as an EP with “Dina drömmar” as the title song.
1. Dina Drömmar
An song that I wrote and recorded some years ago, but as my recording skills has become better I wanted to give the song a new costume, and I really think it’s a successful makeover.
2. Ode to a friend
As the title of the song suggest it’s a tribute to a close friend that was taken away way to early in our 15’s. By far the most sentimental song I ever wrote.
3. Partisanen
A cover of La Complainte du Partisan, an old song from the French resistance movement during World War II and made famous by the fantastic Leonard Cohen. The lyric is a free translation of the English lyrics by Cohen. Original text by Emmanuele d’Astier de la Vigeria and original music by Anna Marley in 1943.
Recorded and engineered by myself in my homestudio.
Mixed by Kevin Carafa, Portland Oregon, US
Mastered via LANDR
The songs are available on

NEW SONG: Psalm för syndare
After one and a half year I finally got a new song together. The song is in Swedish and the idea for the melody comes from an old Swedish psalm, therefore the name of the song “Psalm for sinners”.
Recorded and arranged by myself in my home studio.
Mixed and Mastered by Chris Dion at Quantum-Music, Montreal, Canada.

So listen to it and of course if you like, share it as much as you like.

Lyrics (With English and Spanish tanslation)
New song: Dina drömmar
After writing and recording a more folk-inspired song I felt it was time for some good old punk-rock tunes. I’ve been using AmpliTube 3 for the guitar and bass to find the late 70’s sound I was looking for and the drums was made with Superior drummer 2, N.Y. Avatar kit.
The lyrics is somehow political. The exact meaning of the lyrics is something that even I’m not sure about so that’s up to everyones own imagination.
The cover though presents a picture from a rally during the strike in Ådalen 1931 which led to five people getting killed by Swedish military.
Anyhow, hereby i present for you my new song “Dina drömmar”:
New song: Den vackraste stunden

New song: I’m not the only one
Exactly one month ago I finally got my studio equipment and since then a lot of my spare time has been spent i front of the computer recording my first release since more than half a year. This time I got some really good studio stuff so from now on I can make great productions from my own home.
So hereby i present for you my new song: “I’m not the only one”

Update
Almost exactly six months has gone since the last post. At that time i released a song written as a tribute to the most fantastic sports team there is. I also got interviewed in the local paper Fagersta-Posten. Since then not that much has happened with my music because I don’t have that much time to write and record. But at least I written a few songs and have a few new ideas that I hope will turn out to something, someday. My wish is that in some months i will by a new computer and some studio stuff so that i can start record for real at home, and hopefully then there will be some new songs out, so stay tuned.
I made some minor updates to the website. I added embedded Spotify players for both the record and the two singles and updated the “music” page. And as always, if you like what you find here, spread it how ever you can.
Peace
För dryga månaden sen fick jag äran att vara med i världens bästa lokaltidning, Fagersta-Posten. Här kan ni läsa artikeln. En mer läsbar version som PDF finns att ladda ner här.
New song: Det stoltaste av lag
Så här i kvalserietider så slog plötsligt inspirationen till. Och vips så blev denna låt både skriven och inspelad under inte mindre än fyra dagar. Så nu passar jag på att släppa den här i lite olika format lagom till hemmapremiären mot Timrå. Heja Leksand! Och när ni ändå är här inne så gilla gärna min sida på Facebook här till höger eller här
