Thanks, cher ami. I noticed that the level and tone of your voices are very similar in these poems. Like as if you were having a discussion just the two of you. I have a very vivid imagination. I saw the two of you sitting somewhere in the nature on a stone just quietly talking to each other. It was more that feeling than the meaning of the words.
PS. The playing is mostly loops and some keyboard.

Don’t lay the burden or the guilt on the citizens, Emily. In my humble opinion, it’s the politicians that have to come up with sexy alternatives, mainly within the transportation sector. I mean, if there was a high speed train connection between for instance LAX and SFO or Dallas and Houston, making the ride city to city in just over 2 hours (which is techically completely possible), a comfy seat with an Internet connection and lots of legroom, you can use your cellphone, go for a snack in the buffet coach, which businessman would bother taking a plane with the hassle of check in lines, security, waiting for boarding, waiting for the luggage and transportation to and from the airport? And as a bonus, can you imagine the thousands of jobs these construction projects create Not so good for the airline industry but very good for the planet. We’ve seen this work for instance between London and Paris/Brussels, Madrid and Barcelona and in my country between Stockholm and Gothenburg where most people now think an air ride is just waste of time. A big thank you for kind words about the mix!

Reading this again, I realize I might appear as a train spotter…well I’m not.

haha. i think your ideas are great.

i’m listening to your mix again, it is wonderful.

several listens now of this track…each time i like it more.

You are too kind. I’m blushing.

Oh yes, I knew the Dive boys very well (the other guy’s name is Erik). You will not believe this but on the flipside of one of their singles there is a song dedicated to me(!). And now you say my music sound like theirs. Spooky! Our ways parted for many years until a couple of years ago when I realized that Krister lived in the house next to mine. He’s recently moved, though. Before he moved, we used to meet at the local grocery store and squeeze avocados together and other things that you do in a grocery store. He’s the same now as then, a very warm and gentle human being. He’s still doing music.

That’s an incredible coincidence, and an excellent story. Makes me happy to hear for some reason - there’s just something about that which appeals greatly to me. I held their songs in such high regard - “City of Silent Wishes”, “Ultralight Lovegun”, etc. - and it’s just funny to be reminded that they were regular guys just like anyone else.
