What about all the promises?

About Me

Just another singer/songwriter who thinks that music is the most precious thing in life. Using songwriting as some kind of theraphy, and hoping to be able to not do anything else than just that some day. A lot of other things can be okay too, but I only feel really alive when I'm deep into music. Kind of sad that I have to do so many other things 16 hours a day.

Influences: I'm influenced by all the music and lyrics that I've ever heard. And everything that has happened in my life. Good and bad. I'm influenced by the love and hate that I've ever felt. And by the moon and sun. And by the evil and good. And by the friends that I have and has ever had. And I'm influenced by my mom and dad, and my little brother. By the nights and days that has passed me by. By today and tomorrow. By my own imagination that takes me places I don't dare to go in the "real life". By the rain and snow. The cold and warmth. And the wind that passes through my body and soul. By all the sad stories and jokes. By all the feelings that my brain has created to give me pleasure and pain. By everything I've ever smelled, felt, heard, sensed and seen. I think you get the point. If anyone ever gives you another answer to this question. THEY ARE LYING!And then some bands that has inspired me: Simon & Garfunkel, Beach Boys, Beatles, Suede, Queen, REM, U2, Elton John, Radiohead, Coldplay, Cranberries, Alanis Morisette, Eurythmics, The Ark, Manic Street Preachers, Weeping Willows, Motorhomes, Gyllene tider, Eskobar, The Mo, Andreas & Jag, Bruce Springsteen, Guns n Roses, Metallica, Nirvana, Leonard Cohen, Bo kaspers orkester, Keane, The Cure...

Ironi

Isn't it ironic? I come home from USA and immediately start to write swedish songs. I have two brand new songs finished so far. Maybe I just missed my own language so much when I was there? So I think...

I think I’m gonna start a band

A little more than a year ago I desided to quit my band and go my own way, do my own thing, cause I was tired of compromising, and argue about things. And to never be able to get my own vision put in...
