Description : Nils Ferlin was a swedish poet from Värmland county, his statue is sitting on a bench in a small town called Filipstad. This song is about talking to Ferlin about life.
The track was originally written for my band way back in the eighties and I always felt that I should rearrange the chorus. So here it is, a totally new version of the song with lyrics in english.

UPDATE March 3: My buddy and former band mate Jens Comen is now a fabulous sax player in a folk rock band called Hoven Droven (check them out on itunes). His soprano sax added a nice touch to this song. If you want to see the Ferlin statue, check out my pics.

Thank you very, very much. This song finally came together after that session with Jens. He's actually one of the most gifted musicians I know. You should check out his work on spotify or Itunes – Hoven Droven is the name of his band.
Again, thanks for review.

Thank you, Silvestre. I'm really glad you like it. My friend Jens, the sax player added a totally new dimension to this one and now I think the song is finally done. And much better than it was some 25 years ago. :D

Sagt det förr och jag säger det igen. Du har en röst lik Lars Winnerbäck (eller han lik dig?). Mycket skön låt att lyssna till, väldigt avkopplande såhär mitt i natten.
Kikajon
Kikajon replied Unknown
Tack så mycket, vad kul att du gillar den. När jag tänker på det har du nog rätt, reggae är vinternattsmusik. Vad Lars anbelangar – jag är äldre. :)

Cool man, loved the gun slinger lead at the end, very western sounding! Sounds like this one has passed the test of time. I like the story about talking to the statue. Reggae, I love it!

Thanks Wayne, I'm glad you liked it.
The song has been with me for a while (close to 30 years, haha) but it was just a few weeks back I got the melody for the chorus and I had to record it. Thanks for the review and the fav, appreciate it.

Description : Music composed by Alex Richard and Laurent Wirz. With: Hanspeter Dubach Lead and rhythm guitars, Alex Richard Bass and rhythm guitars, Claude Barbotte Hammond organ, Joël Perrin Saxophone and me at the drums. The two grooves I used for this one are to find under Loops and Sample, member laurentwirz, reggae. Also an excellent loop from member ebae. I have to say that I asked Michael Mayo before publishing it but I received no answer yet. It was pretty difficult with his acapella because it's a pretty short loop with not a lot of words (for an almost 5 minutes track)! You can ear also some background vocals from Patricia Edwards and I hope it's okay for her.

Description : A quick idea I did in one day, 2 mixes, more an exercise for myself than anything serious. Inspirations were a Peter Tosh docu for the reggae feel, a surfing vid on what a point break was for the vox, the Ace of Bass vid The Sign for the drums and Jaco Pastorius song Crisis for a bit of inspirational bass thrown in. 2 drum loops used and a vocal effect loop for the heck of it in the middle, he. Live percussion, cabasa, guiro and double maraca. Me on git, bass, vox. Here comes Summer!

Description : NEW - 2014 - I used a few samples from sterixx called riddim.
And one from seanmccuaig called vocal beat.
I used some lyrics from an older song by myself. It was more a dark wave song befor but i realy enjoyed it to sing and produce it in reggae style.
Hope you enjoy this version also.
