Worth thinking about!
Take your time and look at this picture.
1 minute and 17 seconds,that´s us.
Counting from the dawn of man. We must really be this planets masters and undispiuted Kings and Queens!
And now take a look at this one. We,the masters and undispiuted Kings and Queens is hardly visible!
Can anyone honestly say that there isn´t anyone/anything else out there in this vastness called Universe?
And oh yeah...we must really be this Universe masters and undispiuted Kings and Queens!?!
If you can´t read the text,just enlargge it...it´s worth reading ;)
But nevertheless....no matter how insignificant we might be in this Universe or for how very short period of time we have been walking this planet,we still have the responsibility to take care of it in the best possible kind of way. And stand humble to the fact that we´re only borrowing this world from the future.
And with that also the biggest responsibility to take care of each others in the best respectful kind of way.
But hey...don´t let this get you down,it´s just how it is... So have fun,with love,freedom,truth and respect towards each others :)
Ta-Ta! ;)
What would life be without a little mind riot?
Well,it´s sunday and I´m on my way home from this weekends show in Malmö and also a long photosession for the upcoming Amaranthe record!
It was a pretty ok weekend,love to hang with the guys,drinking beer in a jacuzzi and talking...a lot of talking and they are just the best ones to talk to.
When you talk to someone you have a choice to believe the words that are spoken or not...
I choose to believe!
When someone tells you something,you can always choose to trust the words or not...
I choose to trust!
When someone wishes something from you,you can choose to respect that wish or not. Even if it meens going against your own will in some kind of way...
I choose to respect!
And if someone takes the courage needed to tell you the honest truth,you should feel very honoured and grateful and take it as the biggest compliment... because then you´ve earned the mutual trust in the right way...
I feel very honoured and grateful!
And if patience is the only thing to do... I choose a patience :)
Some sorted thoughts in this mindriot we live in....life that is :) And if there´s nothing you can do,try to smile...if not for your own sake,then smile for someone else :)
Take care and smile my friends... :)
Stuk in between where I am going and where I want to be!
So here I sit! At Arlanda Sky City waiting for my flight back to Gothenburg and home. But right now that's not home to me,that's a completley different place. And how do you define "home"? Some may say it's where you gather you stuff,eat your food and rest your head...some say it's where you are at the moment...and some say it's where your heart is!
To me it's the later one...
My heart is no where near where my belongings are...no where near to where I rest my head...and most certainly,no where near where I am at this moment!
But...I know that my heart is in good keeping,taken care of by a true Queen...and even if she doesn't see it herself...she is my hero and I admire her for so many things in life...but mostly just because she's just exactly the way she is!
Never change,my love! My true North!
Well...a lot of emotions and a lot of feelings going on inside...and a big big feeling of emptiness...just like everytime we say "see you later..."
So...see you later everyone...and stop thinking on how to live your life...live it right now,because it's right now it's happening!
Minä rakastan sinua!!! ❤

In the name of softishness :)
Sunday on the name of softishness ;)
Yesterday we had dinner at my mothers place and ALMOST everyone was there,everyone except my sisters man and my beloved woman ( read Queen <3 )
It was some sort of celebration since my dear brother now officially is that grumpy old fart and turned 40 last week ;)
It´s was just as usuall,discusions here and there,taunting each other and smart remarkes were thrown over the table. Everything with a big smile of course,that´s just the way we are I guess and I don´t mind :)
And I intended to go straight home,pretty tired and worn down after a hectic week. Filled with heavy work and other stuff that comes across my life.... It´s never easy,but hey...Who the heck said that life should be easy?
AndI don´t mind a litle struggle and to fight for the things worth fighting over...And it is so very worth it ;) In every kind of way ;)
Nevertheless...on my way home I texted my good friend Andy to see what he was up to,maybe he was sitting at home and wouldn´t mind the compan? Nope,he was at Sticky Fingers to watch I show so I decided to swing by and say hi and have a beer... Felt good seeing people and Andy is always a pleasure hanging with. But after 2 or 3 beers I just felt the tiredness coming over me and I got out of dodge and went home.
Got home had a veggieburger and shared some thoughts and lovely words with my Queen beforebedtime.
OMG!!! I miss her so freakin´ much,more then I ever thought i could!!!
And today I just haven´t done to much,chillin´ and relaxing I and I intend to keep it that way... Hey,for Pete´s sake...it´s SUNDAY ;)
Well,just a little something from me... Now I really need to go back doing absolutley nothing ;)
Take care and have it softish ;)
A trip down memory lane ;)
Good day worls and everyne who deserves it ;)
Yesterday I gave my sister a ride to our hometown Kinna,a nice break from ordinary days. And also,I can´t remember when I was there last time.
Well,it mostly looked the same. Some rebuilding of the towns square and the local pud has once again changed name.
Took the opposrtunity to make a quick stop at Stationsparken to check out the stage were I gave my first metal concert with "my"first band Hybrid Child... hahaha...all those memories of a long lost time,things have changed a lot since then. Somewhat bigger stages and Enter Sandman and For whom the bell tolls aren´t on the setlist :D
But...I still love it just as much,even if I´ve climbed up on stage hundreds if not thousands of times since then ;)
Back to the crimescene... The place were it all started, Stationsparken and Sommar Rock and I think the year was 1992.
Also the house were I spendt my last years as a teenager. What happened in that house will forever stay in my mind,and as it should!
Ahhh... Third floor...top floorr...penthouse.. BLUESVILLE!!! Many sweet memories from that place and much gratitude as well... Thank you Mr. T for everything...!
Well that´s it for now ;)
Take care and have a wonderful weekend ;)
Extended Special Edition Directors Cut version...
I really do wish that I had something good to say,but sorry i don´t.
Just felt like writing something,so I write something...
I´ve just decided that I wanted to skip on line and start writing here instead, I don´t know why I just..felt like it!
When I got back home from work I was really in the mood for a long good run,but all of a sudden,I just didn´t felt like it anymore. So I didn´t.
I did pay my bills...and I really didn´t feel like doing that...but I did it anyway,just because I had to, even if I could have a lot more fun wit that money.
I guess this is pretty much how life is and somehow,what it´s all about.
Somethings you can choose if you want to do or not and it´s not the end of the world what the choice will be.
And in the same time there are things you just have to do,no matter how hard and heavy they might be.
But you´ll gain on it. Maybe not right now,but in the long run.
And if you think of it,do you want the short version or the long version of the story of you life?
I´d like the extended special edition directors cut version of my life..
Not because I have to... I just feel like it ;)
Finally Done!!!
Yepp!
I told you all earlier that I´m right now in Denmark to record the second AMARANTHE album! And today,,,,finally...I finished my work with thte bass lines!
OH SWEET RELIEF!!!
The sound of the bass is really like a kick from a mule,and as a snarling dog!
BIG... FAT...AND PICKING A FIGHT!!!
So right now it´s 02:47 and I´m sitting here and enjoying some nice cold Danish well deserved cold ones, and some Lauder Whiskey while there´s an old Clint Eastwood movie rolling on the tube :)
Relaxed and satisfied beyond :)
And yesterday wasen´t to bad of a day either... I booked some plane tickets so I´m actually going to see my BIG LOVE... My Queen <3 in just about 10 days!! It feels so incredible good knowing that and I miss her so freakingly much that words can´t describe how much! I DO love that woman more then anything and we´ll just see what the future has to offer us....
But somehow, for some reason I´m not worried at all, I know what I want,I know with whom and I really just hit the Jackpot big time with this woman!
I LOVE YOU MY QUEEN!!! FOR REAL, AS REAL AS IT POSSIBLY CAN GET!!! <3 <3 <3
But to be completley honest.... I realy don´t feel like writing any more :P since there are drinks to drink and shows to watch :) and ten days that has to pass quickly....
Sleep well...take care...have fun...!
This little thingy is really doing a GOOD work.... mmmmm!!! :)
The famous and wonderful Mr. Producerman... Jacob Hansen!! Jacob...you rock!
First one :)
So,this is the first blog from me.
And who am I you might wonder?
I´m a 33 y.o. musician,well actually bass player,that plays in the Swedish/Danish Modern Metal band named AMARANTHE. you´re going to hear a lot about that I guess ;)
I live in Gothenburg,were I´m more or less born and raised. I work all over the world,touring and playing shows all over this Spheric orb called Home.
I couldn´t complain to much,I get to do what i love and I get to go to places I´ve only dreamed about see things I´ve read about in books in school,play shows in front of thousands of people, drink free beer and met all kinds of interesting people...
That last one is very important to since that´s how i met the love of my life!! A beautiful woman that completley stole my heart when she didn´t want to bungy jump with me... But she gave me moral support and strenght to do it anyway ;) mY god I love that woman more then anything <3
But right now I´m stationed in Denmark and beautiful Ribe were we are making our second album! And since the last one wet more then ok,we just felt like that there´s no need to change a winning concept so we use the same studio and producer. The famous Jacob Hansen! He´s just an amazing bloke and we have great fun and there´s not much to complain about... Even if the work is nerve wrecking in every kind of way... But in the end it´s going to be worth it,the result is going to be mind-blowing and utterley just amazing!
Yepp...I brag about it...but I can totally back that up... You just wait and see :D
Trying out the new strng I´ve got from ELIXIR!! And if I´ve been pounding the living crap out of them for a week they still sound as brand new and they do stay in tune!!!
The recording eyes!! After 8 hours a day and five days in a row...you tend to get those lazy eyes!!!
That´s pretty much it for know...having a cold one and await some sweet words from my lovely woman <3
Take care...show respect to each others and don´t forget to have fun for Pete´s Sake ;)
Ta-Ta!!
Hell Yeah.
DÅ har man skaffat sig en liten blogg och detta är första lilla test inläget... Kommer mer snart :D
