Hej!

Några låtar till som jag skrivit och producerat med undantag för låten "Sad clown" som Gustav Karlsson skrivit texten till. Skivan kallar jag "The Protest". Texterna står nedanför.

Thousand stars”


Vers 1:
Transforming the night, oh brother of mine
Hope is a reason to live
There are many different lights
Bur yours is the one of thousand stars

Refräng:
But like a broken glass of wine
Your heart I pouring out the light
You travelled to a distant land
There’s poison in your veins tonight
But all the snakes in paradise
Just whisper crazy, secret lies
You try to take control again
But hell is just a place on earth
In a secret corner, you’re crying through the night

Vers 2:
Listen to her, the sister of truth
Pure is her voice in the night
Heaven Is place on earth
But you have to give that secret light

Refräng:
But like a broken glass of wine
Your heart I pouring out the light
You travelled to a distant land
There’s poison in your veins tonight
But all the snakes in paradise
Just whisper crazy, secret lies
You try to take control again
But hell is just a place on earth
But in those desperate hours, you will win the fight

Avslutning:
It’s so quietly here, my friend
It’s the awkward sounds of thousand stars
Take the chance to live your life
There are many god things, yet to come

”Sad clown”

Vers 1:
There goes the sad clown that never smiles
Thinking of his past, watching the sun goes down
Circus is in town, kids come to se
Over clown lets us know
Hope they all die in vain
Hope they all die in vain

Refräng:
Na na na na, na na na na, tomorrow will be a different new town
Na na na na, na na na na,  tomorrow will be a different new town
Aaaa

Vers 2:
There is so many clowns in the world
Why do I feel so alone
Circus is in town
Lying on the floor
Where did the time go
Missing my circus town
Missing my circus town

Refräng:
Na na na na, na na na na, tomorrow will be a different town
Na na na na, na na na na, tomorrow will be a different new town

Avslut:
Get away from me, I’m a freak
Run away, don’t hear you pray
The show is to end, please don’t smile again
Tomorrow will be a different new town
Tomorrow will be a different new town

“The garden of delight”

Vers 1:
I was feeling lonely
I was feeling kind of sad
Searching for the wild ones
 In a field of sacrifice
And I said, hold me now, the rain is cold, just hold me now

Vers 2:
Footsteps in the sand, I was standing on my own
Grains of wisdom, tides of longing
Longing for your love, and I said
Hold me now, forever, you just hold me now

Refräng 1:
The perfect storm, and I desert my feelings and
Hope is gone, grains of sand that flows away
In a garden full of flowers, the refuge decides to stand alone

Vers 3:
And I did not see you, just felt sorry for my self
So you dressed in flowers, in my garden of delight
And you said, hold me now, forever you just hold me now

Refräng 2:
The perfect storm, I catch the light in my hand
You said, hope is here, grains of sand that flows away
I asked you about freedom, you said, love is all that we need
No sacrifice

4 “Farewell for now”

Vers 1:
I will say goodbye, my friend
There’s no more songs of sorrow
It’s the end of all my grief
And all the pain of tomorrow
And all my winter dresses
Thrown away
Half for sale
There is no need for them
Harmony is everywhere

Vers 2:
Where I’m going, there is summer
I will freeze no more
It’s the end of all my pain
And sadness is just a song
And I will promise you that
I will se, you once more
In a better place
Harmony Is every where

Vers 3: (Sista nio takterna)
Harmony, you will see
Summer is where I’m going
Harmony is every where
