Don't know why...

Don't Know Why - Norah Jones

I'm sitting here trying to read through a few papers concerning my future job and I've been playing this song over and over in the background. So relaxing! Instead of  thinking about the veeeerryy interesting text I am reading, I thought "maybe the next cover I'll post will be of this song". Maybe...

Okay, DISCIPLINE WOMAN! Back to reading about "Fire in the fryer"!

Ain't no sunshine when he's gone

Yesterday I visited a REAL studio! You heard me, a studio!
It was a really cool experience! The studio's purpose I believe is to educate future sound-technicians and producers. My friend is one of them. I believe he's going to be successful, but the term is a bit vague, don't you think? To me successful in this sence would be that he will be able to produce some really interesting, cool-sounding music and I cannot wait to hear it all! Whether or not he's going to be recognised/famous is, I think, not directly related to success necessarily. Oh well, it all depends doesn't it?

Anyways, it was super cool to see my very talented friends working with their respective specialties in the studio, I actually felt a bit inferior, but not uncomfortable. That's the influence these guys have over me! We're in the process of recording a cover of "Ain't no sunshine" by Bill Withers. Probably one of my favourite songs of all time. It is simple but so passionate and deep. It has all it needs musically. The lyrics are understandable and can be interpreted in different ways, but the music contributes with a relaxed, mellow mood. It's perfect!

Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers

What was also cool was to hear my own voice so clearly in the headphones. At one point I started giggling which resulted in a long time's laughing as it was such a weird thing to hear one's giggle in reverb. We didn't have time to record my part yesterday, but my day will come when I come back from my little "vacation" up north. I'm rambling, am I not? Sorry. I'll leave you to it. It's a sunny day - enjoy!

Never realised what your heart was for

Been planning a lot lately, and been doing things a lot lately. I've come to the conclusion that this summer is going to be the most epic ever because I'll make damn sure to spend all my free time with loved ones. At least, that's what I intend to do. The date's slowly but surely moving closer it feels like, it's creeping up on me. The date when I will get on that plane and fly cross-seas. It makes me feel a bit funny!

Finished writing my first song today, now it only needs some slight approvements, but it's all good! I've also done some shopping lately - I bought the most dreamy-looking dress! The only sad thing about it is that it's very formal in a way so I'll have to wait for the right opportunity to actually wear it, but I guess that's alright...

Oh, and also, I'm going up north in a week or so, can't wait! I need some fresh air, a place to think and clear my head. Can always hope for this kinda weather right?

Breathe Me

Okay, so I think I said that I was going to post a youtube-clip of my singing a few weeks ago. Well, that went well, don't you think? Anyways, a few days ago I made a promise to a friend that I would finally do it, and so I did - I do try to keep my promises. This song is a very mellow piece of music, but also a very good piece of music that I decided to have a go at. Say what you want about the recording, I guess I don't exactly have the right gear for recording...

Actually, I'll just put it up before I chicken out!

Everything has an expiration date
