A nice quote

"We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; they nurse them through bad days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true." -Woodrow Wilson

Into the light

"PACIFIC!
INTO THE BLUE
You’ve spent a sun-drenched day relaxing on the beach and you’re looking out at the ocean – see that very strong bright light on the water? That’s what new band Pacific! are all about, and it’s a warm sunny emotional feeling that imbues all of their music. “We have been very inspired by that light and we wanted to capture it in our songs,” explains Danny."

I want to get closer to that light. I want to ta take my yacht out on that ocean and this light could surround me for days and days to come.

On the other side of Christmas

I wake up on a far away beach on the other side of christmas. I am far from the nearest human habitat. After all these years I finally see Jesus when I open my eyes after the storm.

Correspondences

by: Charles Baudelaire

In nature's temple living pillars rise,
And words are murmured none have understood,
And man must wander through a tangled wood
Of symbols watching him with friendly eyes.

As long-drawn echoes heard far-off and dim
Mingle to one deep sound and fade away;
Vast as the night and brilliant as the day,
Colour and sound and perfume speak to him.

Some perfumes are as fragrant as a child,
Sweet as the sound of hautboys, meadow-green;
Others, corrupted, rich, exultant, wild,

Have all the expansion of things infinite:
As amber, incense, musk, and benzoin,
Which sing the sense's and the soul's delight.

Early morning blues

I got the early morning blues. I am actually waiting for a package from Switzerland and I know that the package is in Gothenburg but it seems to be impossible for TNT freight service to get it through my front door, up the stairs and inside my apartement. I gave TNT entry codes and cellphone numbers at several occasions but they don´t seem to know how to use these modern inventions the right way. I am trapped in a negative loop. The modern logistics negative loop. Who put the bap in the entry-code? Who put the dit in the ramalama cellphone?

I just finished a record. It will be called "Reveries". I'm trying to plan a tour with a super light show but I don't seem to be able to get in contact with my booking agency. I'm trying to sleep but I can't and when I do I'm trying to catch someting in my dreams that I can't get. Now I'm going to make a cup of tea. That is something I can do. I don't have to struggle that much to get the taste of tea in my mouth. There is always a small wonderful and holy thing somewhere that is there for you when you got the early morning blues.

I wish Daniel a great day in the studio! It's a bit of a struggle to get him there but when he enters the door, walks up the stairs and sits down by the computer usually a wonderful riff is recorded. I can't join him today because of my-chasing-the-end-of the-modern-logistics-negative-loop-and-the-super-light-show problem. I wish he finds something to do in the studio. Something to build something on. May the inspiration be with you today Daniel! I'm thinking of you.

Now I'm going to make that cup of tea.

Cleaning

Ehhh... I'm cleaning my rooms in my fabolous penthouse appartment in central Gothenburg listening to Sly Stones There's A Riot Going On. Fuck the rest. It's a day for cleaning. This is my niece dancing folkdance on stage yesterday. It's fantastic!
