This whole thing with performing with my own lyrics really happened fast. Me and Jan was at an art opening and was asked to participate at Rostrums Free Store Sounds which was going to take place in two weeks. We all had a little bit to drink this evening and boldly declared that we'd perform!
So, we had to make some sort of performance together, fast. We composed five different "pop-songs" with my lyrics, Jan's sculpture sounds, musical instruments and my voice... It was two truly creative weeks!
I already had some unfinished lyrics or poems laying around before this whole thing started but never really knew what to do with it. I have also nourished a wet dream about being in a musical band and to work with lyrics.
I am now continuing working with it trying to make a solo performance and perhaps recordings of it। We'll just see what happens...
Ultimo adios
Ultimo adios
in Spain
a dog a cage
make friends with demons
The price is good
Face fear
unpleasent dreams
Polka dot demon
is licking my face
You catch a fly with your tounge
-it's cute
A face on its ass
-it's an emo pet
***
Devil's trails
sampled sounds makes the beat
it's a door to a heart
a breakdown a part
of us when we do
abandoned belives
I'll do it I'll do it I'll do it
mothers are made
strange
running down
rainy street
baby's pram
wind in space, dust om face
Martian dust, devil's trails
black moon, baby's face,
charcoal, tidy lace
cat's cry, paw print, black fire, skies are white
bird's heart, baby fish, sudden kiss
a friend of a friend
have a shed you can hide
inside
inside
inside
inside
***
House of Criminals
House of criminals
I live there now
A haunted house, always night time
with all it's sealed rooms
The big house at the end of the ledge
All the storming nights
All the dusty corridors
Quiet
I who sleep there
Haunters never rest
The prosecutors of justice
My borrowed rooms
in the house of murderers
They will return at anytime
Rest ashore and all that crap
I'm back on my cliff
Where it's always gusty
spiritual start
intuitive thought
restless longning
itchy hands
haunted heart
sad songs
many cry nights
fire within

The songs are about my trip to Spain some years ago, strange this that happens to you and dreams. Sort of.
I perform under the name Wounded Knee.

Nu har jag kommit på vad du är: En Gothbrud! Fast lite mer farlig än dom där varumärkesinplastade typerna. Kort sagt en self-made gothbrud. Keep up the good work sis
