New music you say?
Yeah, I got that coming too fairly soon.
But last week a friend of mine sent me his own version of, what he thinks, is the best song I’ve ever made. The song is called Väntan (Wait) and is taken from my very first album Först ska vi äta, sen sova och sen kommer pappa.
I have told you before about that album, and how I made it so the kids at the pre school I worked at at the time would have some nice music to fall asleep to (hence Sleepy Songs btw.).
Anyway. He sent me this song.
At first I wasn’t sure what he changed with it, because it was basically my track for the first minute. And then it came. The vocals!
He had written lyrics for my song! And it was wonderful!
That made me think of two things
- Too bad I didn’t know him when I recorded my album 48:50 – because that was pretty much the deal with that album. I write the backgrounds – you write the lyrics and sing the song.
- I really need to freshen up that old album of mine and make a re-release.
So, thats what I’m working on at the moment.
It was interesting to go through my old projects. I think I read (or watched) Olafur Arnalds talking about the re-release of his first album and how strange it was to go through the old project. What was I thinking here?
I have changed a couple of things, and I also found a forgotten unreleased song that I will include as a bonus track. I will also skip one of the tracks because it’s not good enough… And of course, I will try to include the vocal version of my song Väntan with dear Anders Wikings’ vocal on it.
That’s all for now!
