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.
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 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
