Here’s another song from silver, the limited run ep that sold out years ago. This is one of my favourites, and co-written with one of my favourite people that i’ve never met. Ove Karlson is a great swedish musician and writer, and I unwittingly stole this music from him. I heard it on an album of folk music, i didn’t read the liner notes and assumed it was traditional, and wrote words for it. When i was putting silver together i went back to the folk album and realized that in fact the music was written in the 1980s. I promptly contacted Ove to explain myself, and lucky for me he is one of the warmest people on earth. We have since become close friends over the email and the snail mail, and I hope very much to visit him on his island in sweden one day. I imagine him as a large and friendly cello playing bear.
As this post appears we are landing in Berlin! Continue reading nostalgia
