Anchor 04:09
Tossed in the ocean Let´s anchor to the blooming heart. And all the way down, from high up above. You told me to always keep my head up high. Tossed in the open Let´s anchor to the howling winds. And all the way, right through it. Let´s tear down the walls that keep us apart. And the weight of my worries is bringing you down. But i don´t know how to let it go, to let it go. And I can see it in the eyes of yours. That you really don´t wanna know how I´m staying afloat. I´m the ghost on the ocean floor. Tossed in the river let go of the glooming eyes. And all the way right through it, I was the fuel to the fire Tossed in the storm again Let´s anchor to your falling bones. And in the thick of it that I imagine thin, I´m the fuel to the fire And all around me the trees are falling one by one. There´s nothing solid, always something that leaves the ground. I made so many stupid mistakes I´ll never repeat them again. But you are one of them, I always come back to. (And now it´s aching in my bones all night) Let´s fall out of love let´s fall out of love I better fall out of love

Paper Bones 03:54
What´s left of my bones is aching underneath. Silent whispers in a heart alone, far out, and out of control. What´s left of my bones is swirling and crashing in the dark. And in the first of light. I never came back. You carried me all this way heavy as stones and you with your paperweight. I think I love you, oh I think I do. You danced with me all this way into the shadows and then into brighter days. I think I love you, Oh I think I do What´s left of it all is hovering above. Blooming whispers in a heart at ease I don´t want to keep you this time. What´s left of it all, is falling with the seasons. Like rivers, everything runs dry

Resilience 04:21
You never remembered to keep it close to you. It was never that honest never how It was supposed to be. High up above, above the trees I fly
 I´m waiting oh waiting, for a new day to come.

 You never remembered to let the colors in. It was always the darkness
showing how it all would be
 Oh high up above, above the trees I fly I am waiting I am waiting for a new day to come
 
 Oh we move so slowly in the night
 thinking everything will be alright for once. And the sun is keeping me within reach of it all
 thinking everything will be alright for once.

 You never remembered what was left of me. It was never that easy, no,
 never how I wanted it to be. And inside my shell, it´s warm and bright but it took ages, oh ages for a new day to come
. Oh we move so slowly in the night. Thinking everything will be alright for once. And the sun is keeping me within reach of it all thinking everything will be alright for once.

 (we´re moving slowly in the night)

Onwards 03:54
The moment when I fall through your wind can never catch me then. Or when I´m digging at the hollow ends wonder where my mind has been. The fog is burning off, as slowly as it gets Let it disappear, i´m right there with you. There will always be something, there will always be you. But I will never have you the way that you will have me. Oh the moment when I run through the words can never reach me then. Or when i´m jumping at the hollow ends, again. Wonder where the love, wonder where the love has been. Your smile is wearing off as heavy as it gets. Let it disappear, i´m right there with you. There will always be something something in the way for me. But I will never have you, lingered the way that you will have me, always You know I´ll keep you in here, glowing the way that you will have me You know I wonder, where the love has been. But I will never have you the way that you will have me.

All You Need 04:18
Every day is the same You´re hiding in the ocean so silently. I wish that you could see everything that you could have But I know you somehow you´re just waiting for the right wave to come. But you should know It´s time to spread your wings for once All you need is just a little bit more life in you life, man. I wanna see you glow, burn so bright. And someday you will get there It will just take you some time, man. All you need is shimmering lights at the bottom of the ocean. Every day is the same You´re hoping that the best is yet to come You wish that you could have it all for once And I know you somehow You´re just letting everything slip aside but you should know its time to spread your wings for once. Light will find you someday , in some way, somehow.

Summer Skin 03:58
Keep all the colors in let them breathe on your winter skin In the eye of the storm, I saw the shore we´ll be alright. Keep all the walls apart. For a change, and a fresh new start. Like the sparrows we are we dream, we fly and we find love. In the night there´s a fire telling me it´s alright. Burning brighter than the sun. Oh it keeps me hoping, It will set your heart on fire Keep all the summer nights all the glow and the useless fights. In the eye of the storm, I saw the shore. We´ll be alright Come a little closer because I am the spring sun. I´ll keep you warm, I´ll give you shelter from the lions.

Dreams 03:52
She said, she said life will be golden at some point. She fell in love, she fell in love in the beauty of simplicity. And she ran, and she ran to the edge, where she began. To hold on , to hold on to her own dreams. This is the end of everything we know. So give me all you got now, just for this last time. This is the end where everything begins again. So give me all you got now, just for this last time. She said, she said life will be different at some point I fell in love, I fell in love in the greatest dream I had. Oh I knew, oh I knew always hers to throw away. Hold on, hold on to your own dreams.

Fall in love with all that I am. Slowly but surely together we collide. Through your bones, and through your skin I´ll find the gleam that you keep within Throw it off, all the weight that you carry. Days, sometimes heavy, like stones together they collide. Through my bones and through my skin. I´ll bring the magic If you lose all within. Because I love you. Lily of the valley.

about

Onwards is truly a heavy hitter full of reverberated guitars, dreamy soundscapes and catchy melodies that'll surely have you humming in the shower!
The album was recorded during one year while I was living in Sweden, Netherlands and France and all of the places gave the songs a special touch. Themes range from broken promises, independence to getting lost in endless spring nights, that sounds a bit typical-dull indie, right? Well, this one is different. Promise.
