Об альбоме (сборнике)
After many years on many roads I had to stop and plant my tree. I wanted to make a record with a musical and compositional content that represented all that I am. I wanted to let my dreams come true, all that I was hearing in my mind.
Throughout the years there have been ideas, melodies, songs that have been my personal gems. So precious to me that I have always guarded them until the right moment maybe one day presented itself. In this album are many of them.
A ‘Cold Shower’ is what I really like to refresh the senses, and the tune was written particularly for this project.
‘Hillside’ is a composition that came to me when arriving for the first time at my home in Norsborg, a landscape that is characterized by it’s opposing hills and its Viking remains. ‘Viva Sagui' is something I wrote in Brasil while visiting a small nature reserve in Moreno-PE, a group of little sagui monkies appeared in the tree above me to hear the captivating rhythmic melody.
‘You Are My Sunshine And My Smile’ was a special event for me. One morning I was sitting on the floor opposite my then 1,5 year old daughter Francisca. She was looking at me playing my guitar and this song just revealed itself, music and lyric.
‘Agradecendo’ which in Portuguese means ‘to give thanks’, is a chorinho by the great composer Pixinguinha that I have adapted somewhat in a rather fiery manner.
‘Ecology’ is a shout out to our planetary situation. It’s 12/8 afro groove holds a ‘broken’ blues chorus and it’s lyrical passages reminds us of that which is beautiful while it’s cutting rhythms and suggestive mood reminds us of the urgency of our collective problem.
‘Come With Me’ is a lyrical ballad that belongs to a glittering cold winters night, while it’s whistled chorus is a melody that actually date back to a composition from my early teens.
We end on a happy note in ‘Dare To Dream’, about a love affair - or rather - how we try and god forbid, never stop trying.
Lastly, I owe my hearts joy to the fantastic musicians and their outstanding performances on this album.
Thank you !
