A collab I did with a friend called Jan Petersen. He did the backing and wrote the lyrics. I added the electric guitars and vocals and did the final mix.

Story behind the song
A friend of mine, Jan Engelbrecht Petersen, put a backing track and some lyrics up on FaceBook and I asked if I could sing on it. Luckily he said yes. I had to cut and splice a bit in the backing, to make the music fit the way I wanted to sing the lyrics, so Jan was quite challenged, when he tried to compile the whole thing. So in the end he sent me his original backing and I made it fit to my singing. Sorry, for messing up your form, Jan! I added some electric guitars and a solo towards the end. A very nice collab, that I enjoyed very much!
Lyrics
(Lyrics by Jan Engelbrecht Petersen) I never wanted to compromise Or bargain with my soul How did a life on the wild side Ever get so dull Welcome to a new kind of tension Now i´m in the wrong dimension And i´m not gonna stand and wait Not gonna leave it until it´s too late Starry nights, City lights comming down over me When i counted up my demons Saw there was one for every day Where there´s wanting, there is need Gotta keep on moving Where there´s having, there is greed More that need proving I´m fuelled by attitudes of tension My personality is my deflection How long can i wait, do you think ? Outside they´re hammering down the gate Starry nights, City lights comming down over me When i counted up my demons Saw there was one for every day (spoken bridge) Hear the voices all whispering And mingling in the dark I´m a lone drifter On the lookout for a mark Love is what i´ve been missing Cause love is not what i´ve been giving While the city was sleeping
