track 1: better days/more alive


lyrics:
There are lots of reasons not to try
but I am claiming them unvalid
Stop dreaming about the better days
they never were, they'll never be
Just promise me and promise yourself
that you will try to be
more alive

trackstory:
I made this song while washing up old dishes one evening after coming home from a show at the music academy in Göteborg. It's a fighting song, a commited song and a challenging song. But I think I was mostly sad when making it. It's inspired by the best opening line in a song ever (like, EVER): "Sluta drömma om det ljuva livet, du kommer aldrig va med om det". Every swede knows who's written that, and the rest of you don't understand what it means anyway.

vocals, piano, footstomping: Malin Dahlberg
