What do you mean, "Spring"?
"Just before I kicked the first set into motion, I looked at the crowd and realized that I have been so preoccupied with everything else, that I'd forgotten the basics of a song, a voice and a guitar..."
The 2014 confession.
"Enough with the linguistic manners and the nice words. I feel like I spent the first 6 months of this year going from clarity to clarity, playing bigger venues, releasing a killer album with the band, only to be dragged down in hell for agreeing to it all. Talk about a backfire. "
Bryta mönster - STIM VS. Epidemic Sound
Jag tog mig till Stockholm för en dag på Münchenbryggeriet i STIM:s regi. STIM (för de som inte är insatta) står för Svenska Tonsättares Internationella Musikbyrå, och är "en upphovsrättslig intresseorganisation för musikskaparna och deras musikförlag".
Kort sagt så håller de koll på oss musikskapare och våra cash.
The choices we make
So as I've found that the answer isn't in the drugs, I've decided to make things a lot easier for me.
I'm going sober.
Starting from now until new years eve, at least. If it feels good, then I'll keep going i guess.
One more thing though..
"So I'm gonna go on vacation for a while.
Big whop, right? But It's kind of a big deal for me, in many ways. But the thing is, this vacation will be a bit different. I won't be posting pics from it, like so many others tend to do. Nope, this will be a secret vacation, that will be filmed and edited as kind of an independent movie, with as much raw, uncut and straight forward footage in it as possible. "
Summing up the summer.
"I achieved something this year, and sort of came into my own in the process. It feels right to move on to bigger things, and work harder now. Lord knows I've earned my spot among so many talented musicians and singers, but that's not to say that I have a bunch of people to thank, so here goes.."
Det brinner...
"Igår mötte jag en god vän vars karriär jag följt lite på avstånd genom åren. Givetvis med några samarbeten och interaktioner, men på det hela taget ett ganska normalt förhållande till en vän och kollega."
Efterdyningar..
"Efter två veckor på turné så har jag skaffat mig en hel del nya erfarenheter. Till exempel så vet jag nu att det faktiskt går att överfylla en bil med diesel, att snökedjor inte är att förakta, att det finns otroligt små scener att spela på i Trysil, att man inte skall åka skoter utan underställ och framför allt att aldrig underskatta sin egen förmåga..."
The things you don't see..
"It happens to everyone I know. The outbreak of a cold just leaves you isolated and confined to your bed, wasting paper tissues, the same way that Justin Bieber wastes eggs on his neighbour.
And most of you get away with it too. You simply call you boss and let him/her know that you're not able to come to work for a few days. After that you claim the couch and plow through every season of Breaking Bad on Netflix, hoping that this pesky cold of yours will be gone in a few days."
