Loverlies!
Sorry for the radio silence. Last 2 weeks where a whirlwind of exciting things you´ll hear more about soon, fullmooning in London (and we´ll be back!), first-time-ever things on stage, like playing a gig on my tiny Yamaha Reface synth instead of the computer (ok, there also was a Ukulele involved!), performing a song in a movie!!!, learning a uke version of LITTLE BOXES in 15 minutes, and sessioning the afterparty in London on piano, uke, and uke-pretends-to-be-a-bass-guitar. FUN! And SO MUCH WORK!
So this month, I´ll treat you to something I have written a while ago. Still am very proud of it. Next month it´s mother´s day, and father´s day. It´s a hymn to my parents, who both are musicians, too, and who I love and admire very, very much.

Thank you for making me what I am <3
Fun fact: I recorded the piano twice and layered it so it seems (at least to me!) like two people talking about the same thing but in slightly different ways. It´s weird, and I love it. Hope you´ll like it too.
The Lyrics:
Origins
My dad is mean with his hands
he plays the piano so pretty
he strokes the keys like a kitty
and then he unleashes a storm
My dad is tough with his mind
his knowledge is vast as an ocean
and yet he keeps curious and open
nothing’s uninteresting for him
That’s why I go back to my origins
when I am searching myself
I may have outgrown my origins
but a tree without roots just fails
My mum has the most hearty laugh
she looks like the sun in the morning
she jokes even while she is mourning
her heart is as fierce as a knight’s
My mum is so strong and so tough
she knows what she wants and she takes it
whatever should happen, she makes it
nothing’s impossible for her
That’s why I go back
to my origins
when I am searching myself
I am so proud of
my origins
they make me so strong
they fill me with love
they make me whole
and so it begins
