Postcards from fairytaleland (2013)

Hej!

 

Detta är andra skivan som jag gjort år 2013 och den heter "Postcards from Fairytaleland". Som vanligt så är det jag som skrivit musiken och texterna till alla låtar förutom "The invisible kid" där min bror Gustav Karlsson har skrivit texten. Vill man läsa texterna till låtarna så står de här nedanför

”The invisible kid”


Verse 1:
I’m the boy that never seen the sky
When I dream I fly, high above
Don’t understand the world and the rules
I don’t know when you speak the truth
I´ll rather fly high in the sky
There the world makes sense again
Welcome to my world, it’s not as your world
Here we can fly, without people staring
Here is my freedom and here is my safe place
To hide from you
Invisible

Verse 2:
I’m the boy that never seen the sky
Maybe I’m crazy like you told
Don’t fit in this society
Why are you chaining me
I´ll rather fly high in the sky
Clouds seems more softer than the ground
Welcome to my world, it’s not as your world
Here we can fly, without people staring
Don’t try to stop me, my wings take me higher
I’m breaking free
Invisible

”Helen and I”

Verse 1:
You would not believe what i have done today
I took out the garbage from my life
Freedom is a fine song
You just have to sing along
And it’s my new melody
Helen and I would not sail along
The ghost is in the open and she’s gone
Oh love is a strange thing
I love the ocean more and more
Helen is all gone

Verse 2:
You would not believe the stuff that I have heard today
That I’m the biggest looser of them all
I can only sink so low
When I try to find my flow
The ocean is my teacher and my friend
And ill sail away to the next shore
Where I can find freedom for my soul
Oh love is a strange thing
I love the ocean more and more
Helen is all gone
Piano (verse) And ill sail away …

“Fairytale”

Verse 1:
I’m so far away
Just like a story, is life
We are just like you
Bewildered, enchanted life
Amazed am I
Just wandering

Verse 2:
I see far away
Mountains and forests, and I
Wandering through mystic sights
Life is a saga here
Fairytale and sunrise

Refrain 1:
And there’s a bird
With piercing eyes
He tells me I
Should leave, go home

Verse 3:
I start my journey home
Life is a saga, I’m sure
I want to tell the world
How wonderful life can be
We are all the same, now

Refrain 2:
Follow me, to the mountaintops
Se your life, how amazed we are

Refrain 3:
Tell the world, pass the message through, now
What a fairytale, life can be, for all of us

“Breeze from the west”

Verse 1:
Paper boats, on the stream
Children’s playing with laughter
Up, on the hills, wildflower grows
Windmills spins around and around
And its summer, oh this is summer
Dream away, in the sand, with a coffee in my hand
A breeze from the west makes me long for your cool soft hand
Hear my song, I want you near
Paradise is nothing without you

Refrain:
Where did you go, where do you flow
Stream away all your emotions on me
I want you here, I want you near
In my life you are the flower in me
Take this song and feel my emotions

Verse 2:
Writing down, in the sand
A message erased by the water
And there is a bird, walking around
Writing on his own
When children chase it around and around
I sit in the shadow and sipping my coffee
Only one thing is missing, in my life
On these perfect day
When I think of you there is a cloud, on my perfect blue sky

Refrain 2:
Where did you go, where do you flow
Stream away all your emotions on me
I want you here, I want you near
In my life, you are the flower in me
Aaaa …

“Satellite”

Verse 1:
Listen hey, why can’t you tell me now
When’s the next stop, satellite, satellite
I need hope to see the world, in different lights, satellite it is
Touch the sky, above the clouds, and feel all right
Satellite is my …

Refrain:
Glory, oh what a ride it is, takes me around the world
Satellite is all that I need
I am strong, need something to set me free, satellite
Oh what a ride, yeah

Verse 2:
I se to China, and there is India
I see to Greenland, ice is all melting down
There’s no sadness in the sky, and we’re all right
Satellite it is
Earth is green ant through the sky, it looks all right
Satellite is my …

Refrain:
Glory, oh what a ride it is, takes me around the world
Satellite is all that I need
I am strong, need something to set me free, satellite
Oh what a ride, yeah

Refrain:
Glory …

“Words of wisdom”

Verse 1:
Tell me the hardships of humans alike
Turn it to science and wisdom
The will of the planet tell tales of its past
Descendent from truth, hear it whisper
The man from the north gaze in sunshine
The prophecies told of a man that will come
Hear him whisper
The science of love will end all wars
The science of truth, hear it whisper
Shivering bones turns to angels and dust
The spirit of man always lives through because
All that is love, all that is true, always will survive yeah
Nothing ever dies, all is good indeed, everything is living

Verse 2:
Always with love, a smile on his face
Bee like the sun, free your sunshine
Heaven will help you and there is no hell
Life gives you lessons in freedom
The man from the prophets gave sunshine
Always he said, there is good, nothing bad comes from living
The science of love will end all wars
The science of truth, hear it whisper
Shivering bones turns to angels and dust
The spirit of man always lives through because
All that is love, all that is true, always will survive yeah
Nothing ever dies, all is good indeed, everything is living

“Victimized”

Verse 1:
And there is no way to end this war
This awkward and painful sight
That we all have to endure
There’s a parallel with cinnamon
That it grows and it flows around
Through the world, this monstrous seeds
Take this hellish, unsuccessful seeds
And stop them growing now
Victimized and horrified we are
By this painful and awkward sight
From this war, this endless war

Verse 2:
Well we have to stop this cinnamon
From spreading its angry seeds
Take these walls, and tear them down
Parallel with war is a hopeful sight
If we learn that the war insight
Cannot spread, without our help
Take this hellish, unsuccessful seeds
And stop them growing now
Where the world is opening up for change
We can spread another seed
And it’s not, like war at all

Verse 3:
Take this life and end it if you want
If it saves another life
Then I’ve done, what a can do
War is not the answer, no my friend
It just kills another man
Endless chain reaction is hate
Love, forgiveness, is the only way
Life is bearable
There’s no way to please an angry heart
There’s no way to win a war
Just give up, surrender your self

Text and music Patrick Karlsson



“Help me through the night”

Verse 1:
Born through the wealth of the new creation
Society speaks through a narrow mind
Your were my streetlights when I was blind
Take me through the night
Passing through a wall of silence
Creation is a slow burning sun
We are but children now
Take me through the night

Verse 2:
Sounds from the traffics
And streetlights are jamming
There go some beggars that no one sees
Nobody’s present and no one cares
Take me through the night
There’s a cat that begs for silence
There some lonely old people
An old man in a working suit
Pretends that he is busy

Verse 3:
We think that silence can help other people
We think that blindness is good for us
We are the streetlight where there’s no sight
Take me through the night
Vibrant heart and careful silence
Do not harmonize in a world that needs our love tonight
Help me through the night
