Fortunes of Hard Work: Why You Should Never Give Up

This really inspired me today. Never give up; keep fighting the good fight! And most of all; keep the faith and carry on!

God bless you all!

 

(Song Series XIV) - Why I wrote 'Fight'

This song is one of my favorites. I like how it turned with a lot of riffs in a perfect mix. There were also discussions about doing a version with growl but this idea was not realized (yet..)

The theme of the song is that is supposed to be a anthem. I want to get the feeling to everyone to never give up. When God is on our side we simply can not lose. It sometimes seems like we do. We walk and fight as if in a desert. Nothing goes our way. But remember; a war is just one battle. Just keep on fighting, never give up. You have not lost until you give up. It is almost never too late. And a victory can be achieved even when the numbers are few.

Never give up! Never surrender! Keep on fighting till the King returns!

God Bless!

(This is the 14th song in the series!)

*****

Marching through a dry and barren wasteland 
no clouds ahead just a burning sun 
I got to carry my load my throat is dry 
marching on and on and on through the sand 

The sword of God lights up the dark night 
guides us through flames and fire and light 
We will not compromise nor give in 
We will stand our ground winning 

Carry on fight till the end 
Fight for our glorious king 
Fight! Fight! Fight! 
Come on and Fight! Fight! Fight! 

I hear the battleground calling my name 
the presence of evil in the air 
Got my sword and shield by my side 
We march right into the devils lair 

Today the time has come for evil to knee 
haunt the demons down kill em all 
Warrior fire at will in for the kill 
Take no prisoners watch evil fall0

Carry on fight till the end 
Fight for our glorious king 
Fight! Fight! Fight! 
Come on and Fight! Fight! Fight! 
Fight! Fight! Fight! 
Come on and Fight! Fight! Fight! 

The war is on were fighting day and night 
slaughtering the enemy seek the light 
smoke and fog covers the battlefield 
we will never surrender never yield 

Their numbers are vast 
like the sand in the sea 
soldiers of hell dressed to kill 
But we don´t care how many they are 
No we are not afraid to die 

Carry on fight till the end 
Fight for our glorious king 
Fight! Fight! Fight! 
Come on and Fight! Fight! Fight! 
Fight! Fight! Fight! 
Come on and Fight! Fight! Fight!

Recognition

Sometimes life surprises you. Just the other day I got a letter. Mostly these days the most letters are from authorities and pretty depressing. But this letter was from an organisation called STIM (Svenska Tonsättares Internationella Musikbyrå)(In English Swedish Composers International Music Bureau) and a notice of royality. Really good news and always fun!

God Bless!

Working with vocals

Writing and recording and for that matter all kind of creativity is a process. And in this process; I have decided, for the first time in many years, to sit down by the piano and note-by-note write the vocals.

For the two albums this far with Daevidius I have always improvised the vocals, both lead and harmonies. So in a attempt to record better songs and to write more catchy vocals I will go down this lane. And it is already in good process just after a few hours! But it will be an great amount of work since it is so many songs I have decided to record. I have not yet counted how many but I know they are numerous...

Maybe, maybe, some of the old songs will get treated in the same way! Keep yourself posted!

God Bless!

All songs completed; lets run for the Studio!

Finally it seems! This is a day of glory, a day to rejoice. Just a moment ago I finished writing the last song for Daevidius album number 3. And I started recording for real!

The titles I will record for the album are (I don´t know if all will be on album or in which order. Anyway; here they are, in alphabetical order:

Back to Life
Beyond
Come Follow me
Death Calls
Deceiver of Souls
Gates of Hell
Immortal
Never Surrender
Prophet
The Battle Within
Upon the Cross (doom version)
Upon the Cross (death version)

God Bless You All!

New Style

I might seem odd but I really feel this year will include a lot of change. Change always come from the inside but I have decided to start a change on the outside as well. First to go was my beloved beard who has been my companion for three years now. This is just the first step towards something new and better.

I proclame 2017 to be a great year!

God Bless You all!

Happy New Year 2017!
