I did this track in 2010 for a challenge on MyMusic.dk. It has been sleeping on my hard drive ever since. I found it by coincidence today and I hope you think it is worth a listen.

Story behind the song
I came up with the intro when trying to capture the sound of the sixties. The lyrics and the vocals were more or less improvised and done very quickly and all in one take, so I had an idea of this being just a draft of the finished song. But stumbling across it on my hard drive today, I thought it sounded quite fresh and good fun. So here it is :)
Lyrics
Music, I want music.
Music, I need music.
Music, I want music.
Music, I need music.
I need food to eat.
I need water and air to breathe.
I need security.
I need my friends and I need love.
I need self esteem, to prove that what I say is what I mean.
But there's one thing that I need, more than anything in this world.
Music, (Is my soul), I want music (all I need is rock'n roll).
Music (is my air), I need music (and I can feel it éverywhere).
Music (it's so loud) , I want music (makes me wanna scream and shout).
Music (it's so nice), I need music (it touches me so deep inside).
You know that I've been down.
The deepest hole, was what I found.
But even from deep down,
I somehow managed to get through.
With a little help from my friends, my family and my love.
And the best thing of all: The music never seized to flow!
Music, (Is my soul), I want music (all I need is rock'n roll).
Music (is my air), I need music (and I can feel it éverywhere).
Music (it's so loud) , I want music (makes me wanna scream and shout).
Music (it's so nice), I need music (it touches me so deep inside).
(Spoken)
They say the world will end, the day that noone sings a song.
We'll need a new "Big Bang" and I know how the world began!
Music.........
