The second in this series.
Is this a joke – well, most likley yes. But no, it is actually a track. In fact. The first track of this album. And as you’ve might have guessed, this is Another Album Too, but no Another Album. And although it is technically Another Album Two, it is not. But it too is Another Album. Sounds complicated? Well, that’s a messy mind for you. But enough about the album, this is an agressive sounding little track with the heart in its right place. There is nothing agressive about it, it just sounds like that at first.
Potato – while the joke was a little agressive, this is more down to earth, or perhaps in earth, since that is where potatos grow. But this does not grow in the earth, but hopefully it roots in your heart through your ears. For me, this is a star sprinkled night sky in a soft summer breeze. On my back on a blanket on grass, perhaps in a park in the city.
Dare I dream, dare I not – this is, in many ways, a struggle. Dare I dream – and risk getting disappointed if the dream is not realised. Dare I not dream – and risk being stuck in a place that could transform in to so much more? Gentle hope versus being afraid and stuck.
Lazy legend – ledgends does not come easy. Or do they? Is legend always a result of hard work and dedication towards a specific goal? Or could it be something different? Right time and right place? Luck? This is a reflection of what if just chillin’ would be the foundation of legend? At least this particular legend? And andother question, is it up to me to say that it is a legend, or is that up to you? Or neither of us? Is legend much bigger than just you and me?
When does it – Wait? What? Is that even a question? Or is it a statement? A single piece of writing sign is missing, so we cannot really tell… This track is a peaceful statemante of contemplating. Slowly watching something, taking time to let thoughts and impressions form and evolve.
Land due west – I set of on a grand journey. Possibilities ahead. Map completely blank. Direction unclear and frankly, irrelevant. Whatever I can carry I bring along. The rest will unfold. This journey will be what is is meant to be, and, or perhaps or, what I’ll make it. I do not have a plan, and I do not need to. I can still embark. What is ahead is ahead, what is behind is behind, and however it all is, land due west.
Late city night – I’ve just opened the door on my red Fiat 500. Put my belt on, started the engine. I roll out. Like the autobots, but I am not a transformer, I am a maker. Or, perhaps I am a transformer, transforming sounds to music? Nah, tonight, I am a driver. Slowly driving around. City lights shine on me through my glass roof. Somewhere above and beyond, stars. I do not have a plan, I just drive. This track is flowing through my speakers, keeping me company, keeping me here and takes me to other places.
Brick in the wall – each element in this track is a brick. A brick in the wall. A brick in the wall of sound. A wall that you are just facing. Or should I say earing? Hearing? Eitherway, the bricks are in front of you. The wall is in front of you.
Why what how – when uncertainty rice, it is sometimes sound (pun intended!) to take a step back and try to make sense of everything. I do not claim that I can give you answers, but I will root for you to find your own! Let this track be a reminder that I root for you, and that I believe you can find your answers!
No particular title – what should I call this? I had no plan going into it, I just went, it just became, and it became this. I had no particular title in mind, yet it will be called just that, even if that was not what I had in mind. I am thirsty. As I’ve written this, I will go and treat myself with a big glass of water. Or perhaps coffee? Or, as Limpan said: why choose?
Turn left – if it does not feel right, turn left. If there is no options, there is at least one option left. Perhaps it will take you nowhere, perhaps it will take you somewhere. I dare you to find out.
Unexpected turn – If you did turn left, perhaps you found yourself with an unexpected turn? Events did unfold, but perhaps not as you thought. Unexpected is just unexpected. It does not mean it is bad. It only means not expected. And perhaps you’ve not made up your mind if it is good or bad yet. Stay with this track while you figure it out!
Turn table – no, this track does not spin in 33 1/3 or 45. It is digital. So if it spins at all, it is because it is on a magnetic harddrive and not a solid state drive.
Cryin in my coffee – growing up, in some kind of argument or dialog I was told “It is better to cry in a Mercedes than in a [less status car brand – don’t remember which]”. And I thought that was odd. Why cry in a car at all, I prefer not to cry, but when I do and have the need for it, the car brand would not matter, nor the place I cry. What matter in that moment is what the tears are made of. And I am not talking about salt water, I am talking about the emotions that has transformed into salt water. That is what matters in that moment, not where the tears fall down on. But if it is up to me, I’d prefer to cry over a cup of coffee. If I am alone, at least I have a warming and good tasting company in the cup, and it will give me some warmth and some comfort. But the chances are pretty good that along with my cup of coffee are other people. Hopefully someone I trust and feel comfortable with. So I can share my feelings with that person as the feelings are transformed into tears dripping down in my cup.
Table of content – I am mini-disc-old. As I recorded tracks on a mini-disc, the last thing my player did was to create a table of content (TOC) for the mini-disc. So let’s celebrate that! Let’s be grateful for all our days that has already passed and made us to the person we are today. We are, in a way, our own table of content.
Already here – life takes us on this journey, and believe it or not, we are already here. Where we used to be, and who we used to be, all in the past. Right here right now is where we are, and who you currently are. Yes, you are already here. Next you can be anywhere.
Seventeen sandwitch – late night snack over dose? Nah, I don’t think so! It’s just track seventeen ((17) and sandwitch was just a thing that poped in my mind, not in my mouth.
Time for another moonlanding – yes, I think it is about time to do another. It was several years since humanitys last manned moon mission. I think it is time for another, and then another. Why? Because we can and because it is very cool. Besides, it is (nessecary) steps towards more advanced space travels. Star Trek future wanted!
