about

ARTWORK: JELENA KIMSDOTTER KUZMINA, GOTLAND
Recorded in Nidaros studio during one day, with a very prepeared and focused crew, Christian Schreiner was in charge of recording guitars, background vocals and spice sounds and playing synth on some of the tracks, vocal work the last we did before christian mixed it all.

lyrics

Memory no. 1

At the end of the line
I packed all my “why”-s
in a sack
meant for a leave
I really liked it, babe
the atmosphere around you
In spite of our faith
the memories of the days
with you
has the sweetest taste
I often lok back
on the moments we had
and think of you…
Sometimes it feels
you are with me
everywhere I go
as a part of all
the things I love
In heartly laughter
You’re so close -!

I’m stumbling around
the peace I have found
is a deal with the devil
I don’t like it here
the atmosphere
frightens me !
People’s polite
but the looks in their eyes -!
Cold as eternal ice !
A stranger’s face
is something they hate
down here - !
Yesterday morning
I thought I saw you
walking down the street
with your daughter Marie
but I was wrong indeed
this child and mother
wasn’t half as sweet

When I’m fifty years old
and knock on your door
will my stocks
still hold the price…?
I really hope they will
and that I still desire you…!
And what about you ?
Are you sad, are you blue ?
Is your man treating you right ?
Don’t show this letter to him
it’s a secret between
you and me…
Sometimes the yellow moon
reminds me of the nights we had
And my rooster crows
in thought of your wows
I may forget
but I don’t know how -!

YOU, my memory no. 1 !

about

PapaFahr Trondheim, Norway

He lives by a bootleg philosofy, where atmosphere and soul connection in studio and stage is more important than perfection and equilibrity. Playing on routing and making albums to perfection, where poetry smooth in with overrehearsed cords, is not only a vast of money, but also a vaste of mind. ... more
