Decapitation 07:14
lyrics

I will do anything for truth Please explain what I must do For you Feeling the grace through me Drowning my sanity through kneel The taunt and humiliation of us But I’ll surprise them when they don’t expect us Don’t be afraid I’ll embrace you But first I want you to come through Feel free to improvise Cause it will be their demise Decapitation of you But it’s forgiven for the love of god Everything I did is all just for my faith Don’t blame me because you only see hate Clearing your existence will give me my grace Cause I know where to go after this place

You Can't Change My Mind 06:19
lyrics

Did you know, that when you grow old. You’ll regret it. All those years, went passing by. You’ll regret it Oh and did you know, that he’s feeling bad. You’ll regret it. Such a lovely man, he did what he can. You’ll regret it. And if you think I’d care, think again. I’ve got my life on the road, don’t need to hide. You can’t change my mind. You can’t change my mind. Why don’t you come by, so we can work it out. You won’t regret it. When you’ll be here, you will have, the family on your side. What are you trying to pull? Leave me alone! I’ve got my life on the road, don’t need to hide. You can’t change my mind. You can’t change my mind. Fake tears! Fake tears! Fake tears! Fake tears!

Elusive Facts 06:52
lyrics

All the things you see belong to me Don’t deprive the way I like to feel We lived this way as far as I can see Don’t change the way my life supposed to be Break out from elusive facts and choose who you want to be Stuck in a rut? You are obsolete! So you think that I will change my ways It’s my purpose to live the life I make Break out from elusive facts and choose who you want to be Stuck in a rut? You are obsolete! You can’t control my actions here I do whatever pleases me With my friends I’m standing strong Giving everything that we long I can’t control your actions here But I won’t shed another tear As soon as you’re packed and gone I’ll do all that we long Break out from elusive facts and choose who you want to be Stuck in a rut? You are obsolete! You don’t want to change? Fine! But don’t come crying when we’re gonna bring you down. Feeling tough? You are done for me!

Hey, don’t be afraid You, will make it today Feel, the chances ahead Even though, it doesn’t seem real Real Breathe, and leave it behind Maybe, it just takes some time Change, and take it away Pain, is taking you away Away, away But hey, don’t be afraid We, will make it today Feel, the changes ahead Still, I’ll be here still

This Morning 08:21
lyrics

This morning This morning I felt great Cause I felt the reason for my place Take me Take me out of my headspace Cause I will not I will not change one bit What do you see when you’re with me When do you think that it’s enough And do you feel great when you see me Trapped inside my misery Did you know that I have feelings just like you Not feeling welcome is all that came trough What do you find when you reach out Does it tickle your selfish mind And when you do see me does it work out Trapped inside your fantasy Or is only in my mind…

Music Will Bring Me Another Day 04:25
lyrics
buy track
Balancing my life is harder than it seems Every day is a struggle to complete my dreams And I give in to my fears Some days the headaches disappear But, music will bring me another day Silence I won’t even contemplate It's worth the pain Somehow I keep on doing what I do My mind never stops, so I continue And I give in to my fears Some days the pains disappear But, music will bring me another day Silence I won’t even contemplate It's worth the pain Writing in the dark Feeling ashamed to show my part To you Clearing out my mind To write something that’s meaningful, to me So, I have this doubt That I’m not good enough, for you I feel the gain So I continue my path for this I’m not ashamed

When Nobody Likes You 08:51
lyrics

Break away Feel the shame Take me in I know I’m different Faking my way Cause I want to fit in People find me strange these day But I am just myself I ain’t pouring water to my wine So please fix yourself Let me live my life It is for what I strive Sacrifices are made So let me be myself And go judge someone else I do not care about you People find me strange these day But I am just myself I ain’t pouring water to my wine So please fix yourself Not me It’s a ghost town in my life Deprivation of the joy I had I’m on my own And I feel alone The closest minded are alike, he said. But I can’t remember the last time we shared I’m on my own And I feel alone

My Dark Passenger 07:19
lyrics

I felt this all my life Has ruptured me inside In isolating pain Give it back to me to me Cause I’ve tormented my youth With my own thoughts hiding And it follows in my dream Does it come back to me to me I’ve written my despair It hardly seem that fair I’m hiding my own truth What else am I to do to do Isolate Isolate Everlasting love Will turn me down And everlasting fight Will find me inside Please take my pain away

about

“Welcome to a snapshot of my life put into music – “Sounds From Emotions”.
The title is a personal one and came to me when I was about 18 years old.
I had already been playing guitar for a while back then and writing music at the time.
I noticed then that some of the music that I wrote had a more emotional vibe to it than other music that I’d written before.
So I labeled those parts as – “Sounds From Emotions” – whenever I felt that those parts had a more profound emotion attached to it and had less to do with technical guitar chops and skills.

After writing my previous album – “Leave My Mind Sometimes”, I was going through some
deeply rooted memories and wrote about them. These writing sessions felt a bit like therapy, extrapolating all of these emotions into written words and music.
After about 3 months I had written 8 songs that reflected one of the darkest and heaviest
moments in my lifetime and the title that I wrote back in 2003 made a lot more sense now.

The music that’s on the album is quite melancholic, but I wrote it with a lot of joy and love.
Strangely enough, I found that melancholic music is quite uplifting for me and I guess that reflects back into my own songs.
Thank you for supporting me and my music. I hope you like what you hear!
