HEY... a little update. The stuff I have been putting out there for "jacker" has been things I have worked on alone in my home studio. But now I have been working on some new songs, which I hope to have ready soon, and on top of that I have been neglecting my home recording and songwriting lately because I have been working with a bluesband in Oslo for the last year or so. I will post the band (right now, for the last 12 years their name has been "Sagene Lunsjband" but I hope they will change it to something a little more international, a little more "bluesy". I will post here, and our original songs on Soundclick soon.

Story behind the song
I had the whole picture and the feel of this weeks before I could get it on paper. I can still picture the whole scene.
Lyrics
Miles to go before I sleep and this highway's paved with cold concrete My headlights light a tiny square in the chilly velvet moonlit air And for the last twenty miles or so, this old radio, hasn't pulled in nuthin' but static I guess you're sleeping in your bed, or cursing me all night instead, maybe you felt some sweet relief, when you found me gone just like a thief but the last twenty miles or so, this old radio, hasn't pulled in nuthin' but static And when I need to get a little nourishment I pull into these kwik-e-marts and gas stations and we all look just like ghosts in the bright flourescent lights we all look just like ghosts, wandering the aisles between the microwave burritos and chipped ice And I don't feel right til I'm back behind the wheel, again I light another cigarette, inhale a a sense of deep regret, Wonder what the hell I'm doing, speeding down this road to ruin Still the last 20 miles or so, This old radio, hasn't pulled in nothing but static

very nice song, I would like to hear it in a band setting to give it some more depth in a musical sense, I think it would play well with a pop country band. Very nice voice, sounds really good on this song. The only thing I could offer as a suggestion is to look at the last chord on the chorus, it has a very final feeling about it and may be a little too dramatic for the overall flow of the song. I would like to hear you do it with a modern pop country band. Good song and good job!
