CLOSE TO COMPLETION

So.....this is the 3rd day of mixing. I´ve been here since 10.30, it´s now about 8 p.m and I´m about to go home in a few hours. I love this! being in the middle of creativity, but when it´s about to be nailed.....It´s a lovely period, when you have been writing, traveling, looking for inspiration, whether you wanted it or not, life has introduced you to several opportunities and you said yes to some, and no to others. 

Right or wrong?? what do I know?? This has been such a long, long journey for me. I can barely believe that we are actually about to end this chapter. Well, I shall not move to far ahead......there are a few songs left, but maaan does this feel great!!

Close to Completion!!!  

This might sound like a little tiny thing to someone who is not in the creative field of work. The sensation, when you really have given and shared so much of your time, love, emotion and heartache, and on top of that, you just don´t tell it to your best friends...you force people to listen to it in mini-stories with melodies to it.....

This album is like a novel of short stories. Each song has it´s own little world with hidden meanings and an instrumental landscape that is constantly changing. 

I have really put a lot of effort in writing the lyrics. I hope you will find some inspiration or recognition in them.

So many thoughts flashing thru my head, so many memories from these 2 years of constant traveling and exploring. Right now Ollie Olson, my brilliant mixing engineer is working on a song called "Waiting for the Rain" Brings me back to the bitter sweet memories of Los Angeles, during a specific period of time....Aaaarrrgghhhhh, I can´t wait to get this baby out. I really wanna share this with anyone who is curious. I really wanna share this with you. Yesterday we mixed the lovely ballad "Don´t look down" that I wrote down at the Studio at Sunset Marquis one ( a little to early) early sunday morning with Billy Gibbons, sitting in the corner with his guitar, Jed Leiber by the piano and Jeff Barry and me in the sofa creating the lyrics. 

Ohh...so many stories....too little time....or..was it men?? haha, just kidding......Gotta bet back into the studio. I´ll catch you later!!! Be Blessed!!!!
