Tody we´ve been struggling with a song called “In This World” it´s been really hard to find the right way to do it justice. I´m quite certain of what it is I´m looking for but finding it hard to realise. Fredrik Hermansson is here playing his piano and it´s been so uplifting. Me and Magnus really need some new inputs. We are having a break and getting ready to start again.

Magnus sent me the songs we´ve been working on with some newly added changes and it sounds like a million bucks! I´m so happy to be working with him! We have such a connection, I´ve found a real friend. Considering all that´s been going on in my life It´s so nice to have something of my own that I feel prowd of, no matter how this goes I´m really feeling it with my heart and for me that´s where the treassure lies! I can hardly wait to get back to continue working.

I´m waiting for it to let up, to be pardoned and given a second chance. It´s been a hard year that has come to an end and now all that´s left to do is move on. I want to pour myself into my work, make an album that I can be satisfied with. I feel my high expectations being pulled down to a more human level and it´s a good thing. Patrik Andersson is going to play guitar and Fredrik Hermansson is going to play piano, being a fan of them both I´m looking forward to working with them! It feels good to involve other people now and get some fresh ideas on the album. Making an album is not the easiest thing for me, although I´m right where I want to be I´m constantly on my toes, I never get comfortable and although that´s a good thing it also creates insecurities. Am I good enough? Will anyone like what I´m doing? The awareness of the inevitable need to be affirmed is awoken and it is like a monster eating away on my brain. There´s not much I can do about that, it is a part of it all and the sooner I can make peace with my monster the sooner we can learn how to work together. A good friend of mine said to me “In the process of changing remember that what you want to change helps you in certain situations, learn to accept yourself as you are and you´ll know when to back off or when move ahead. I am what I am and I´m trying to understand myself.

Since our last session of recording I´ve been listening to the work we´ve done and I´m feeling good about it. We´ve started talking about having a string quartet and just going all the way. I meen, who am I saving it for? Christmas was quite the test but I´m feeling better and stronger, planning for my album and looking ahead. One of my closest friends lost her father and I attended the funeral, it really puts things into perspective. Her father was a remarkable man who lived and loved and I´m so filled with a desire to live a worthy life and not let myself stand in my way! Next week I go back to recording and I´ll be sure to take pictures so you can see what l´m up to. My mind is rested and I´m ready to get to work..
