used to run away at night you didn't want to look me in the eyes both full of hatred, yet full of love soon i fell down like a dove i've learned more about me from the dreams i've never trusted the reality i'm the one to judge no one but me can you teach me the art of comedy? the art of comedy? used to drive away at night i didn't quite understand our hearts both full of people, yet we're apart soon i fell down like a star something had to happen if you wanted to hear the scream always has to happen to get back the self-esteem i've learned more about me from the dreams i've never trusted the reality i'm the one to judge no one but me can you teach me the art of comedy? you've learned more about me from the nights you were late, i lost in the city lights i'll judge myself till the day i die can you teach me how to win this time?

about

It has been a few years since I wrote a song all by myself. Last spring I bought a piano, the first instrument I ever played, and started composing songs on an almost everyday basis.

Although I love cooperating with other people, solo work seemed to be something new and fresh. It was interesting to see how songs arose and developed under my supervision, as such a feeling had been partly unknown to me.

After some time, ideas and songs kept piling up, and soon I felt buried under the unfinished tracks. The thought of spending weeks finishing them as "proper singles" or a part of a "proper album" was just too stressful for me.

I wanted to keep it as relaxed and casual as possible. I didn't want to destroy the intimacy that was so prevalent during the first takes, so most of the parts you hear are not re-recorded.

Inspired by Jens Lekman's series Postcards, I decided to choose one idea every week, give it a few days of necessary care and share it with you every Tuesday. More or less finished, they will show up here.

I don't know how long this will last; I will stop when the time comes. I may put some of the tunes on a tape at the end.

If you come around, please enjoy these little tunes!

(I release these songs digitally on my own label Bughead Records but if you want to cooperate, just let me know!)
