Eight weeks…

3 more days… Then vacation…

Eight weeks free from work.

Plans? Oh yes! I will build a new entré on my house, I will play with the cover band,  I will rest on the beach, I will have a garden party, I will throw away all the junk in my basement, I will visit friends and go to my favourite music festival, I will record all the songs in my head, and have bbq, and…. Eight weeks… Not enough.

But first – Tomorrow I will celebrate my daughters birthday! Champagne for breakfast 🙂

New song at last

Shine on me

Tonight is another lonely night

Tonight I will cry with the wolves

A bottle of wine in the candlelight

trapped by unwritten rules

The night is so dark

And there’s clouds in the sky

And day after day looks the same

But the silver moonlight

Will shine on me

If you only whisper my name

Tonight there’s no stars in the sky

Wish I was the fly on the wall

All dressed in white with the wind in my hair

On the hill, preparing for the fall

Lonely

The night is so dark

And there’s clouds in the sky

And every day looks the same

But the moonlight

Will shine on me

If you only whisper my name
Whisper my name…

Yes I know!

Yes, it’s been a long time since I published a new song…
I planned to finish my latest one this week.
Just some new vocal tracks to record, but what happened….
I got a cold. I don’t recognise my voice…
and the cough makes it impossible to take as deep breaths as I need…
so, instead of give you a song,  I tell you about it…
I started to record some rock riffs and worked with them for two weeks.
They refused to obey my orders so I fired them.
Then I started with an empty sheet…
Absolutely no ideas, just played and let the music lead me ….
It was a lot of fun just grab every idea and record it.
It soon became a mess and then I started to clean it up and kill my darlings.

The result is a slow 6/8 with inspiration from esc.
Rather easy listening. A nice little fellow that wont scare you away.

I’ll finish it as soon as I get well!

oh, sorry – It’s called SHINE ON ME.

Rehearsal recording

Yesterday we just pushed the record button on the computer .

No Jive had a rehearsal night to fresh up the songs ..

On saturday we play again, this time at a private party.

So, we just pushed the record button….

Not a good quality but useful…

I hear immediately wich changes I have to do…

Our studiorecordings are a bit old by now…

We are much better and rockier nowdays…

hard work

Had some problems lately…
Wasn’t satisfied with my work in the studio…
Couldn’t get it right…
So, I left the song unfinished (after two weeks struggle) and started to record a new one…
Much better result.
A lot of ideas came to me and the inspiration is back!
Strange how the music affects me…
I’ve been in a bad mood for two weeks and now I know why…
I feel much better now!
I’m in love with my guitar ❤

Suddenly the whole north of Stockholm lost the power….

Radio Sweden

 

Radio Sweden

On Saturday 1/5 I’ll listen to Radio Sweden P4 Fm 103,3.
At 9.45 am there will be an interview with my students and hopefully the song that we wrote together will be played.
My students are a bit special you know…..
They will be the first class in Sweden who leaves school with the experience of having the computer as a tool during the whole education.
I’m working with these wonderful kids for the fourth year now.
Many people are interested in following the results of these kids…
How important is the computer for learning?
Do they really learn what they are supposed to…
I say – they are learning, I promise you… If you think they are learning the wrong things, I think we have to change the curriculum.
