Hymn for the Waiting

We wait. We stand under a tree, waiting for the rain to stop. We wait for a letter from the doctor, to tell us if we will be fine. We wait for the phone call, to comfort us that our friend is found again. We wait for love, we wait for death. We wait for a glimpse of ourselves, when everything just falls into place. This is a song to all those moments, when we must try to find security in the passing Now, despite the uncertainty of times to come.

New Free Download: Sonder

I found this amazing new word on the blog The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows by John Koenig:

sonder

n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

Read about more new words you didn't know that you needed on www.dictionaryofobscuresorrows.com. And a big thank you to John Koenig for kindly letting me use Sonder.

Yellow with a hint of black (Pay With A Tweet)

Here is a new quite ambient sounding song called Yellow with a hint of black.

It's not an uncommon practice for painters to mix in a little bit of black to give the yellow more body and depth, and I think it's  a bit like life: When you have gone through difficult times, the light moments tend to have a new depth if you allow them.

I thought that I would make this a free download too. Well, almost free. You pay with a tweet or Facebook post! Click on the button below and follow the instructions, and you will get the file after you have tweeted (or posted on your Facebook page).

Thanks for spreading the word about my music!

And I think of all the love that is here with me (Free Download)

"And I think of all the love that is here with me"

Swedish musician and writer Kristian Gidlund passed away last week, 29 years old (see blog post below). Struggling with cancer the last years, he wrote a blog called 'I kroppen min' (In my body), describing his slow decay, his fears, his hopes. And it's one of the most beautiful texts I have read.

This song is for Kristian.

Please download it for free and share it with someone suffering from a severe illness.
