Grief

A new song is released i to the wild!

I wrote a song a few years ago and it relly stuck with me.
I gave a suggestion to Mr.Guiville that we could do somehting with it and he said yes and here we are!
A new and crisp recording of Grief

I love this song and all the emotion.

Collaboration

I have recently done a collaboration cover with a guy on soundcloud called Flowermouth and he challenged me with a song I've never heard befor. I must admit I was a bit frightened at first but I took a leap and it turned out quite well.

You can listen to the song here: In Limbo (Radiohead cover)

I have done alot of covers recently because I've been moving and havn't had time to focus on the music.
This folowing year I've decided to focus more on the music and let my creativity flow.

If you wish to like my page on facebook you can search for Annika Mattsson Music where I will post all of my new recordings.

record... delete.. record..

Phew!
I've had lot to do.

Sometimes I tend to get alot of requests at the same time and I can't say no. I just love to write and record music and this is whta I want to do for a living... but sometimes I get way over my head.
I've been quiet for a while because of that.

A new recording with Mr.Guiville and me turned out to be something I've never done befor. This is why I love to do these collaborations 'cause the tunes people give me can be everything from ballads to electronic to indie HipHop. I love the challenge to figure out a lyric that fits and sing it how I think it shoul sound.

The new song, however, with Mr.Guiville is: Making Money

I really like how it turned out!

He also did a acoustic version of Continue to fly that turned out really great.

I have other songs coming up aswell that I've recorded, but right now they're under progress of being mixed.

Farmers Market

After a glorious first day yesterday at my new part time job I've been tired all day today cause the cats caused to much noise last night so I could'nt sleep!

Nevertheless, I got my self outside the door to the farmersmarket the is every saturday this fall and bought some vegetables. They allways taste better then the once in the store.

My plan was this weekend to write more lyrics to another song that I'm in, but with the lack of sleep I have a non-functioning brain at the moment.
I have been drinking coffee and eating properly today so I hope it'll all be over tonight.
I'll be working for a few hours tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it!

This is a collaboration I made with dslamcracker on soundcloud: Morning Breaks
I wrote the song and he composed the music. I love the way it turend out!

Ouch... Ouch...

I was so motivated yesterday and forgot all about me being sick for the past week.

We did our usual workout progam and I was wondering why I was so tired after the first set.
I pushed my self hard to finish the whole workout, and I can feel the effects of that today.
I woke up and I could'nt get up... I had to roll over to one side and let my arms do the job, cause the stomach could'nt!

I'm going for a long walk later to soften up and stretch so that I'll manage through the day.
After listening to alot of music yesterday I've found it easier now to focus on lyrics to the new song.
Its all in my head right now but this is a process and it will take time.
Its all about the message of the music and to enhance it.
This is a song me and Mr.Guiville made together and its avalible on iTunes: Continue to fly

Tomorrow will be my first day on my new job for this season. I'l be selling cheese and I'm very nervous and exited. I know that the people there are friendly and energetic. I just hope that I fit in!

My big goal is to live on my music. Oh how I wish I could do that.....
I really love to sing and create new music. I want to try every genre and develope new thrilling and tingeling variations. If I just had the connections and the guts to just go for it ... and the knowledge about HOW to proceed.

It will all resolve it selfe in the end as long as I do my part!

Creative Wednesday

Allright!

Time to pull my self together and create some magic!
I just got a new song to write lyrics to and record my voice to and I'm all exited!

Me and MrGuiville have worked together for quite some time now and, in my own opinion, I think we create amazing music together. He lives in the UK so we work mainly through soundcloud.
The latest song we made was this one: You can't see me

Right now I'm letting my mind go to the music and let the words flow like a stream through my in until I get the right feel for a line. I love this writing proces cause its all about me and how I see the world. I think that we all at some point go through the whole range of feelings that the human body can eperience and that is amazing. A song does not have to have alot of words, if any, because the music it selfe brings a message.

I pulled up the nerve to call my job and say that I'm well again, so I'll start on friday! I'll be working in a delicacy store where they sell cheese, crackers and meat amongst other things.
I'll just work every other day and thats how I like it.
That way I have time for my music!

A cold out of this world

Nothing is more damaging on your spirit like a huge cold.
I can't sing, can't walk straight and I can't do anything!
I've had this cold for a week now and finally it starts to loosen its grip around me.
I did however redcord something befor my voice was doomed, not that it made things better, but it made me a bit happier. Here's the song:  Coldsong

I have found that moving to a new city comes with a certain challenge. I have to get a temorary job, locate where my new doctor is and check out all the local stuff to do and not to do and so on.
It was harder then I though to find stuff to do....
The rest just found its way in to my life, some how.
We have moved to a small town and I originate from the country, so having a store on the same block i amazing, and yet I feel there is not that much to do... It might be that I have'nt found it yet!
