First gig since forever

Man, this year has been tough. Barely made it through sane and alive, yet here I am. Weak but breathing. I just gathered every little piece of strenght I could find and booked the first Sherman-gig in ages. I have no idea how it's gonna turn out, I'm just doing it. I need to get out of my house. One step at a time.

Guitarshop No.1, Gothenburgh

December 11

1:30 PM

Switch

I'm writing in Swedish, by doc's ordinance. I'm not letting you guys read/hear anything yet. Some 5-10 songs written. None recorded. Even though I'm not raised in a Stockholm suburb in the 70's, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it, lyric-wise. It feels less pretentious than it did in the past and it's more honest than anything I've ever written. It feels. Ask me in 5 months and I will disagree.

Silent Way

Alone through the mist

I hear the jackals screaming

This road wants me here

My orders are to give in

I run, got short sight

One meter at a time

The best of ability

Trust me we still got time

Deinstitutionalized

Back from the ward. Drugged to the teeth.

And then there were three... no five

A fifth member has been recruited to the ship. Björn Sandberg will be handling the keys live from now which brings a significant non-usage of the ADAT-backtracks and clicktrack, which feels like a great relief. Björn is a nice guy who me and Andreas have been playing with before so we are more than delighted with bringing him onboard. To victory!

Vintage shop gig

I'm gonna play at a new vintage guitar shop called "No1 Guitarshop", in Gothenburgh (damn Gothenburgh! U stalkin' me?). Can't wait to put my hands on some of those guitars! Gonna be splendid.

Kontiki again

I played at Kontiki, Gothenburgh, yesterday, again. It was very nice. I actually enjoyed it and for once it was very non-painful. My good friend Magnus Markling played banjo on "Hope Coming In" and "Where To From Here" which seemed appreciated by the audience. He did a good job. The pain of playing live has nothing to do with being nervous for me; no stage fright or anything like that. It has more to do with me being anxious of doing the songs justice. There's so much emotion and personal stuff in there that I want to convey and usually I'm all empty and non-talkative afterwards. But this time was different. It was actually pleasant.

Also appearing that night was Nina Ingemarsdotter and Annelie. They both did good gigs and we all hope to work together again in the future.
