‘Destiny Dies’ lyrics

25 November, 07 · 1 Comment

Here are the lyrics for the soon-to-be-recorded-song ‘Destiny Dies’!

I’ve had enough
of her sweet touch
It felt so good
but she’s too much

Thoughts of what kind
goes trough her mind
I feel ripped up
Is this girl blind

Hold on through tonight
It’s gonna be alright
Everything matters tonight
when destiny dies

I search for light
but things ain’t bright
My mind is dimmed
but gains insight

I feel astray
She won’t say stay
I leave my keys
and slip away

Hold on through tonight
It’s gonna be alright
Everything matters tonight
when destiny dies

I’ve been loved and I’ve been torn
since the day when I was born
Will I ever get back glow
Time may show but I don’t know
No I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know

Hold on through tonight
It’s gonna be alright
Everything matters tonight
when destiny dies

Harddrive up and running!

It was the fire-wire cord that was the problem. It was probably damaged some how but I replaced it today and now things are as they should be. 

Tip of the day: Do not by a retractable cord, by a normal one.

Hardware…

22 November, 07 · Leave a Comment

Maxtor OneTouch 4 PlusMy new external harddrive doesn’t work with firewire… USB works but I need the power of firewire for making music and film. I have a Maxtor OneTouch 4 plus and I bought a new firewire cable with 6 pin to 4 pin because the one I got with the drive was 6/6. The computer finds the drive but doesn’t dispaly it in ‘My computer’. As I understand there shouldn’t be a problem with the connection because I have a external power supply to the drive. Hardware… Now I don’t know if it’s my Dell Inspiron 6400, the cable or the harddrive that is the problem. Do you have an idea, perhaps?

Ash in Copenhagen

22 November, 07 · Leave a Comment

Last night I saw Ash for the fourth time in my life. This time in Little Vega in Copenhagen. Because of the lack of Swedish Ash fans in Sweden and the price I had to go alone. I’m not in Copenhagen very often so I felt a little worried about the walk from the central station to Vega. I went the fastest way, on Istedgade, and I think it’s the nasty street in Copenhagen… saw some prostitutes, pimps and I was also offered crack… Felt really strange.

The consert was nice. They played alot of old songs and a couple of new ones. All the ones I wanted to hear except for Sometimes. I stod in front of Mark, the bass player, and after the concert I felt all shaken bacuse of that. Ash are from Northern Ireland and in the same qualifying group as Sweden for the UEFA Euro 2008. And both played during the consert. They hoped Sweden would lose, but it didn’t go that way. Sweden qualified, Northern Ireland did not because they lost aginst Spain.

During my life I have stumbled over like three other persons that really like Ash. Yesterday I found a fourth - Morten. We talked before the concert, listened and went back to the central station together. Really nice.

And at last a cheezy comment to sumarize last night: Northern Ireland may have lost the game on the football ground, but on stage they won!

Ash - Band pictureTomorrow is a nice day. Ash – my all time favorite band – are coming to town (or at least close to town). They are going to play in Copenhagen and I’ll  be there to absorb the sound they make. For those of you that have never heard Ash I recommend you to visit www.ash-official.com or www.myspace.com/ash. For those of you who have heard Ash before, I recommend the same sites. More about this the day after tomorow…

Time takes time

15 November, 07 · 2 Comments

Well… there haven’t been to much activity here for a while (again). Why is that? To sum up: Got in love, got an emotional brake down, got the kissing disease, passed out for three weeks and recovered. And here we are now. It has been a frustrating period but it has resulted in a couple of new songs and kind of a new style. Now… the world likes to work against me so I have hardware problems and my throat is a mess so I am having a hard time to sing. But I have ordered a new optical drive and some day I should be ok in the throat too, so some time soon this project will get on… :)
