Story behind the song
"EASTER" is the first song in this project and as you propably already have guessed, more songs will follow. THE IDEA came from the Christmas Cover Competition 2007, where my version of Jinglebells went all the way to top 21. The finalists bonded a lot during December at the shoutbox, and when it was all over I kind of missed them, so I decided to write a song we could publish at the next holiday ¡V Easter. I also worked hard to get as many of my new friends involved in the work as possible. I'm therefore very honoured that I am able to announce that 3 soundclick artists has contributed in this song as well as both my nieces. THE GENRE is very different than my earlier work. I decided to work with emotions and instrumental parts more freely than earlier. THE VOCAL isn't really my thing, so I am SO thrilled that Kevin Rosenberger would make that. He certainly brought forward the emotions in this song. He has a fantastic voice. THE SOLOPART of the song is lifted "far up and over the hills" by Morten Gjermundsen. He hitted bulls eye with that sound and theme. THE END of the song needed a different feel, and Michael Duran came in with his guitar synth and made it happen. The song is nice and easily played to the end. Very nice work from Michael too. THE BACKINGVOCALS joined the project in the very last minute. This song desperately called for backing vocals, and I am SO glad that both Anne and Gry drove all the way up here to give "Easter" the last touch of harmonies. For my own part as well, I have programmed the drums, played the bass, keys, acoustic guitar and electric rhythm guitar and added a little backing vocal too. Either Anne or Gry have a their own profile here on soundclick, but if you will here more of , I can recommend that you listen to Anne's vocal on the song "Back On My Own" on my artist page.Jonsson

and Gry's vocal on the song "Whatever I said" on my artist page Jonsson

Lyrics
EASTER There once was a man, they said he was a king but he was just a simple man, that kind that people believes in didnt care much for politics, but he made them see how the world could be a better place if they only would believe that his love and care - would change it all - change it all With open arms both poor and rich he met them all he showed a blind man how to see, people followed his call he never asked for anything, he gave it all away a simple man so strong in heart untill that day betraied by his own, he carried his cross all alone - at easter He lived a simple live enjoyed light of day though from the minute he was borne they tried to put him all away he had all the right answers to the questions he received he guided them and gave them strength in their believe that his love and care - will change it all - change it all with open arms.... betraied by his own, he carried his cross all alone --- betraied by his own, he carried his cross all alone easter... @Jonsson - 14.2.2008

dude how do i put this on simpler terms... if you were a hunter and this song was your pray not only did u kill your pray but u took out the whole species... i cannot begin to describe the amazingness of the tune... from the very emotional vocals to the guitar solo (morten is morten i know this by now) and to the subtle way the voices and the synth at the end of the song craddle u back to a state of calm... before the songs says farewell... awesome tune man... i guess thats it... bottom line MenO
