Meltwater

about

The frame of the body for this album was concieved deep inside the swedish forests, where I spend some time in a hut. I brought my laptop, but on purpose I didn't bring the usb key lock for the music software I use. This meant that I could only use the software in demo mode, where I could save, but not open files. I have a tendency of returning to the same track over and over again, and this little trick prevented me from doing so. I came home from Sweden with a handfull new tracks including this one. The lyrics were written on the plane back home from a trip to the Faroe Islands.

lyrics

It all came down to this, yeah
When all we did was stand
and stare
And noone made their move, no
This is how the story go

You looked into my eyes and said
I'm not good at this anyway
I said that we would be just fine
We cuddled up then said goodbye

Meltwater falling
From the hill above
And the clocks were ticking
In perpetual fashion
The seasons came and went
The rain it fell
And the mountains threw its shadows
Endlessly

Can you hear that sound I hear
Can you see that sight, my dear
Together and apart we are
We're never near and seldom far

Down and out and off to sea
In and out of misery
The sky is larger than all the rest
Now I got this off my chest

Meltwater falling
From the hill above
And the clocks were ticking
In perpetual fashion
The seasons came and went
The rain it fell
And the mountains threw its shadows
Endlessly
