This is a song from a guy to a girl. Classic theme. He is most definitly interested in her. I guess you can tell from the lyrics. If you know Swedish. If not, I hope you can enjoy this track anyway.

I have been fortunate enough to get to do an official remix of Elin Bolin’s Tystnaden talar.
Challenging to convert a song into something new, yet still keep the essence of the original song. I am pleased with the end result, and Elin as well, which is why she decided to release it for you guys to hear it.
Check out the original release:
I hope you enjoy both versions!

Standing naked
infront of my mirror
takein a good look
Is that who I amI don’t recognize me
I do patronize me
I guess it’s been a long time
Since I looked at meWho have I become?
Where is the one I was?
Thoused questions
When did I get lost?What is the way forwards?
Where did I come from?
Where am I going?
Where do I belong?I stare in the mirror
Who do I see
I am looking at a stranger
nice to meet meThat is a body I do not know
And that’s a face I never seen before
The eyes follows mine where ever I see
It’s my only conclusion, that it is meTake my hand and wave at me
and I see I wave back at me
Is it a broken mirror, or under a spell?
I don’t know, who can tell?I stare in the mirror
Who do I see
I am looking at a stranger
nice to meet me -

Underneeth my clothes
I am naked
And everybody knows
If im not mistakenPerhaps you wonder
Perhaps I wonder about you
It’s all a cover up
And you know it’s trueGet dressed, cover up
Go about your day
always the same
there is no shameIt’s odd to be learned
how to hide
not to show
who you are insideI am naked
Can’t hide anything
Now I can’t fake it
You see everythingGood and bad
Nice and ugly
Happy and sad
Scared and cuddlyYou see it all
All of me
When I’m nakedMasks are looking back at me
everywhere I see
I don’t understand it all
I feel smallFake seems real
But I cannot feel
What’s the dealcan’t take it all in
it gets under my skin
People hiding everywhere
Is it the naked truth they cannot stand
is it truth they all fearI am naked
Can’t hide anything
Now I can’t fake it
You see everythingGood and bad
Nice and ugly
Happy and sad
Scared and cuddlyYou see it all
All of me
When I’m naked -

Opening my eyes
Trying to see
Everythings a blur
Evading meBeyond my reach
Something I cannot see
Beyond me
distorted realityDistorted reality
All around
Where is the natural
Can it be foundOr is it gone
Forever lost
I need to see it
Whatever the costWhat is the nature
Of the hidden things
A lots of question
Curiousity bringsBut answers are lacking
Hard to find
A lots o blanks to fill
for courious mindDistorted reality
All around
Where is the natural
Can it be foundOr is it gone
Forever lost
I need to see it
Whatever the cost -

This EP (is it called an EP when it is three songs, or does it need to be atleast four?) was created with very strict limits. It needed to be naked and raw. To be able to do that, below limitations was added:
- Maximum 2 synthsounds (channels)
- One drum channel
- Maximum 2 vocal channels
- Something needs to be distorted
Nice to meet me
Ok, so, this track has a backstory that even I do not have the full picture of, but I will recount it to the best of my ability.
I was driving home from my father, a route that takes about 20 minutes. Normally, I listen to music from my playlist(s) on Spotify, but this particular day, the bluetooth-connection between the car stereo and my phone did not agree on anything, so they simply did not connect. I was tempted to stop the car and restart it, just to get the connection working again, but I decided against it and kept driving. Forced to listen to the radio. I let my mind wander. And from that drive I remember two things. They might be connected, and might been two completely different things during the drive, but when I stopped the car and got out, I had two images clear in my memory.
- There was an interview with an artit that told a story about creation of one of her(?) songs. She had been asked by the swedish artist Robyn to tagg along on a concert or something, and heard the band play a song that she took inspiration from by creating her song.
- A phrase from a lyric saying something like “nice to meet you”.
These two things fresh in mind walking from my car to my chair infront of my computer somehow ended up with thoughts like:
Nice to meet you – a rather meaningless phrase, it is just something you say on pure social reflex and rarely something you really mean.
Wouldn’t it be odd to greet oneself like that, and really not care?
Would that even be possible, and if so, how would that situation play out?
Well, in my mind, it would play out a little something like this song.
Naked
Isn’t it rather strange, that we tend to hide behind things. We tend to wear masks when meeting eachother, we tend to present picture-perfect-lives on social media, we tend to collectivly believe, and acccept that, as the truth. As the real. As life.
I am sorry, I do not buy it. I need the real. I need you to see me as I am. Naked. If you do not like what you see, don’t look.
Distorted reality
In a way, another view of the previous track. The reality presented to us, surrounding us, distorted. Not the real deal. Not the real thing. I need to see the real, whatever the cost. Even if I need to leave the distorted reality and turn my back on it, perhaps even leaving people behind in it, I need to break free.

Standing here in the corner
Looking at you from a far
The beauty of you and your laughter
Reaches me from the barYou’re in my system, you’re in my game
You’re in my system, you’re in my game
I am not a player, but this is still my game
And you are installed in my system, all the same
Your update’s in me, your full upload
Come join me in mission modeYou’re in my system, you’re in my game
You’re in my system, you’re in my game

Northern light
shining bright
bringing hope to meNorthern light
in the night
for all to seeI know the sunrise in east
and set in west
highest in the south
before it goes to restbut in the north
I see a light
shinging bright
for meNorthern Light
in my heart
That’s where you are -

Jag längtar efter jul i juli
Jag längtar efter jul i juli
Jag längtar efter jul i juli
Jag längtar efter jul i juli
Sitter med mask å luva på
Men saknar nissar som trippar på tå
Drar fingrarna igenom mitt vita fusk skägg
Ute doftar syren å häggRadion spelar massa sommarplågor
Ingenting om Lucias tusen lågor
Istället tändas tusen grillar opp
Å inget glimmrar i granens toppJag slår på tv:n klockan tre
Men det finns ingen Kalle att se
flera hundra Dan före dopparedagen Dan!
Inte ett endaste julpynt i stanInte ens en enda liten tomtefigur
Bara massa strunt om beachfigur
Flintastek ut, in med julskinka
röda kulor och ljus som blinkaJag längtar efter jul i juli
Jag längtar efter jul i juli
Jag längtar efter jul i juli
Jag längtar efter jul i juli
Kvälls solen lyser vitt på taken
det känns som varenda kotte är vaken
Oh, helga natt, är lika ljus som på dan
längtar efter att få klä min granGe mig glitter, ge mig röda kulor
doften av bullar med saffrans smak
skölja mer med lite glögg så klart
kan inte julen bara komma snart?vill börja med klappar och pepparkaksbak
se snöflingor singla ner på mitt tak
packa upp alla tomtar och pynta mitt hus
ställa fram alla fina juleljusNu väntar jag tills det är advent
då juledörren ställs upp på glänt
men mången dager återstår
tills julen kommer i årJag längtar efter jul i juli
Jag längtar efter jul i juli
Jag längtar efter jul i juli
Jag längtar efter jul i juli
