The Summer Song
02:47

I think summer's coming soon
Sunshine will be blinding
When will my heart beat again
On the path to find it
Do do do do...
If I maintain this state of mind
Every day I'm trying
Help me kneel and give me faith
Teach me how to let go
Do do do do...
Feeling I've been here before
Thoughts create the world
As my feet lift off the floor
Hold my hand as I let go, let go

All You Need Is One
03:41

Hey, driving in the sun
Hey, all you need is one
Mistake in the afternoon
God I hope it's not a mistake with you
Slouch, I like the way you move
Smile filling up the room
Stop, oh what have I done
Then he said, "All you need is one."
Wait, should I stop before I go?
Keep moving, but what about a home
I try to practice self- control
I wish I knew all that I should know

Ghosts
05:30
|

|
Suddenly there you are in the night
On the crazy stage behind my closed eyes
I'm gone but trying to make you feel right
Scared flick of your wrist and I resume my flight
The world is brown and black
Angels fly at your back and I am a bird
And I never want to see you again.
Over dark water beneath a dark sky
On a rope and wood bridge shines a beam of dim light
Seeing us there just out of your sight
You walk all alone into the night
My heart bleeds for you
Despite what we went through.
My mind's a storm cloud.
And I never want to see you again.
After a day in a graveyard the dead will all rise
And ghosts find their way with little disguise
And it grips me so hard that I leak from my eyes
It's the only thing holding me in the night

The Sound
05:10
|
|||
|
It's nothing old, it's nothing new
Just another happy day with you
And I don't know, should I let go?
Or if I hold on will you hold me too?
These other souls, we can get down
But they can't reach me like I know you do
Another time, another place
Or should I say it all and touch your face?
What is choice and what is fate?
Connections, harder as we age.
Is this the sound of my heart closing?
Your gentle smile used to be mine,
but I lost to pain and heartbreak every time.
My body strays, feelings remain,
How can desire split the self in two?
I want you to make me smile
What I need changes day to day.
If I found love would I stay?
What is this love, anyway?
Is this the sound of my heart closing?

Walls
03:50

Bring your children, bring a stranger, show them love.
F--- your money, forget your enemies, let them all go,
Show me what love is
Don't you wanna know, don't you wanna know?
Take my hand now, tear your walls down, walk with me,
Let's see what love is
Don't you wanna know, don't you wanna know?
Open up your eyes, the sun is in the sky
So leave all your fears and your broken heart behind
What you need is inside, it's all inside.
Let's get closer, even though it might hurt,
Let's just try...
Don't you wanna know, don't you wanna know?

Leaves
04:39
|

|
Sitting in the back yard under all the autumn leaves,
I think they're falling down way too slow
Everybody's waiting for the right time all the time,
But nobody can know the right time.
So here's a thought now, baby, when you don't know what to do.
Let's play a rhyming game, just me and you.
I don't know where I'm going and I don't have all the keys,
Just a lot of questions and a whole lot of leaves
Don't know where I'm going, but I'm going
Don't have all the keys, but doors are opening
It's buried under leaves

Rain
04:01
|

|
It's like you don't have time to mourn,
One week then online, to be adored
Please just break my heart so it can stop beating for you?
Bleeding colors like a city through tears,
Full of your women in their miniskirts
You say you wanted to but couldn't grab hold of me.
Me...
Rain, rain, I wish it would...
Your tears are b---s---- but you look so forlorn
I learned your language while you looked at porn
You want a sick love, twisted, lustful, sexy and hollow
What do I do with these new dreams of mine,
You pulled me up here then left me behind
I shouldn't have to try, shouldn't have to try to fall in love.
Love...
Rain, rain, I wish it would rain...
I just wanna watch you breathing, even as the stars are leaving
So good, so good
Didn't know that lies were hidden, there behind the lips I was kissing.
If I could see. If I only could…

God Box
06:35
|
|||
|
The sun shines low, long shadows
My heavy soul returns
God, please take these fears away
I can feel you, here on the hill
The greatest day, I remember the way
I knew you'd break my heart
Addictions aside, were you the love of my life?
Entrust him to you, there on the hill.
Black at night, fall from high
When I cry don't leave me.
How do I mourn a child not born?
Will I never know you?
Hanging fate between science and faith.
I give it to you there on the hill
Standing alone, where is my home?
My roots won't seem to grow
When light combines with a city of kindness
I'll leave it to you there on the hill.

Nostalgia brings a beautiful peace. Annika's songwriting is melancholic but comforting as with her singing, delicate and angelic. The Cello is heart melting and the vocal harmonies and guitar playing are enchanting. That's why I love this album.
