My music hobby is moving out from this site. As this page is generally about anything I feel like, I want it to be quite rarely updated with things I like to write about or some programming thingy I’m trying but the music stuff is taking overhand. Therefore http://sverrirv.com har been created for the music stuff.. So here will be a quiet place for my other nerdy endeavors..
This is a rather special song.Currently this is quite a rough draft, it needs some better mixing, but it’s good enough to show the basic idea. Anyhow, this song was written one weekend when I was surfing Soundcloud and found this very nice piece of music:

I really like the energy in this song and I wanted to create a happy song for once, and I did.. To begin with.
When it was time to write the lyrics I was reading a lot about racism and got a bit irritated at that. The story I was reading about was around #jagarjason, a discussion taking place in Sweden on the subject. Anyway, I wasn’t in a happy mood when writing the lyrics so it became a not-so-happy tune..

Lyrics
A little tune about waiting for something. I’m not 100% happy with the lyrics, will be small changes before this one goes to Spotify, but the song is mostly done.

Lyrics
I don’t know how
Guess I’m hoping for luck
Wish then was now
But I wait
Feel it, know it, can’t explain
I see the sun, ignore the rain
Something great will come my way
..and I’ll just stand and wait
..and I’ll just stand and wait
Waiting , patient
This is a song that I wrote on one of my kids Birthdays..

Lyrics
======
Today is your birthday
one year older
time is flying fast with you
It got me thinking
about this dad thing
how it affected me , what I do
Am I any different
How are my values
I haven’t reflected on those before
Now I thought it over
And want to tell you…that
Words go nowhere to describe
how you children changed my life
the feelings is so deep inside
you’re all that matters to me
The feelings that I have for you
I don’t know how to show they’re true
I try to guide you on your route
although I don’t know the way
Not even this time
Did I reflect on
What life would be if you hadn’t come
I simply don’t want to
It doesn’t matter…cause
I’ve forgotten all about
Life without you kids around
Isometimes wonder if I want
You ever too grow up and leave
Words go nowhere to describe
The love for you I feel inside
I am so proud to be your dad
I want you to know what I feel
And It doesn’t matter what you do
I am always there for you
You see, that is what fathers do
You are all that matters to me
Today is your birthday
Got annoyed listening to some young people nagging about not getting everything they wanted served to them so I wrote this.. Guess it’s a clear sign that I’m getting old.. nagging about youth like that.

====
I overheard
you today
Seems you’re
out of luck in someway
Money isn’t falling on you
As it should be
I heard
you say
Sitting and Slacking
every day
You parents wishing
you ran away
All your life is
on the web and
you never show your
face outside
— Ref
Work
What you get is up to you, you have to
Work
No such thing as luck, just do , you’ve got to
Work
Your parents can’t get you through, you must
Work
It’s not fair but else you loose
You wish to be rich
instead by birth
Have been born with a silver spoon
up your butt
But all around you
showels laying
Pick one up and
hear what I’m saying’… now
..Ref x2
Long time since I uploaded something to Soundcloud. Mostly I’ve been busy with finishing the songs I put out recently on Spotify and some other small projects, but now it’s time to put out some material again.
This song is a negative one about having difficult choices. Enjoy.

Result of playing with the android app RD4 Groovebox and my electric guitar. A song about trying to read between the lines. Quite alot of synth-sounds used here, with the analog sounding sounds of RD4 Groovebox used as the base. Also the drums come from that application. All generated on a Sony Xperia Tablet Z and then imported into the computer for mixing with other synths and sounds..
Enjoy.

This is a song I wrote as a chill-out, slow, kinda cool sounding love song. As usual, it didn’t turn out as planned, but it’s for the better.
With lots of help from Johan Gulliksson (@gullikid) the arrangement became a bit different, with much better tempo, than my original plan. Have a listen and let me know what you think!

I downloaded this great app from Google Play, RD4 – Groovebox during lunch one day at work and played with it. It didn’t take long until I had something I liked and on the way home in the car I came up with some simple lyrics to the beat and recorded it.
The drums and beat are created using RD4 but the synth is from garageband (for now. I might change that to a RD4 synth just to have the song completely made there).
Not the best singing ever, but this was fun to make, and I now have a new instrument to play with. My Sony Xperia together with RD4.
