Like the fire loves the wood
(Musik & tekst Lysdal)

Hey my little girl 
How I'd like to swirl you round

Round and round

Let's enjoy the ride

You can sit here by my side

I’m a dreamer

And you're the dream I wanna dream

 

When I was 21 
Life had just begun to show

What I didn't know

I was feeling fine

I had my share of sunshine

Now that's some time ago
Now all I wanna know is do you -

do you love me do you ?

 

You're a fool I knew it from the start

Such a fool you opned up my heart

You're a fool you've got yourself to blame

And we’ll never never be the same again

 

Let’s be fools let’s believe in love

We'll make wish upon stars above

Let’s be fools and make our dreams come true

We'll make a life a life for me and you

Let’s be fools /let’s believe in love

And make a wish upon the stars above

Like the fire loves the wood
(Musik & tekst Lysdal)

You’ve been telling me so many times
you need to be secure
you need to be sure
of my love

You don’t want my love for you to change
but baby we grow and change all the time
so if our love doesn’t change along
our love’s gonna be left behind

I love you like
the fire loves the wood
I love you like
a singer loves the silence

Complaining ’bout things ain’t what you want them to be
but that you’ve made it all yourself this you can’t see
putting the blame on God and society
you’ve been barking up the wrong tree

I can see by the way you’re walking
looking for something else
don’t think your life is good enough
tryin’ to fix things from the outside

If you want a life-guarantee
that things will never get out of hand
I hope that you will understand
that total control
will fuck up your soul

I love you like......

Optagelserne

Musikere:

Kristoffer Sonne - Trommer
Chang Jing - Guzheng harpe & backing vocal
Jens L - Lead vokal og øvrige instrumenter


"Like the fire loves the wood"   er lavet på baggrund af et backingtrack lavet i mit eget studie.
CHANG JING  har dubbet harpe (inkl. solo) og vokal.
KRISTOFFER SONNE (som også spiller på albummet "Hjertekamre"/Illeborg & Lysdal, dubbede et tromme-track i Mox studiet.

Trommen der starter nummeret, er en Darbuka, der blir brugt meget i tyrkisk og arabisk musik:

 

Den lidt "tynde" guitar på nummeret (der bl.a. til sidst spiller lidt fills) er en "Silvertone" (se billede). En ret billig guitar med en dejlig speciel lyd. Den blev i 60'erne solgt i en kasse med indbygget højttaler (god, praktisk lille ting til gade-musikeren dér).

Dét at stort set al musik idag blir solgt som signaler gennem luften har  gjort, at al den baggrundsinfo om musikere, studie, teknikere, fotografer m.m., som man før kunne finde på covers, er væk.

Så her en liste over de skyldige:
(og jeg er beæret over at arbejde med dem allesammen)
