Lolita Ray Swedish and English acoustic songs
Here you find some history of my songwriting kept. Back in the the day's I recorded my songs directly into my computer, often just a couple of days after I wrote them. The sound quality is not good. But each one of them reflekt the very special feeling I only have when a song is new.... You can also listen to some studiorecorded stuff with my two ex. bands here on soundclick: search for the bandnames Little Failures (English songs) and Lill-Britt Siv (Swedish songs). I write both in English and in Swedish wich is my native language. And when I write in English I try to use the language in my own way wich means it may not always be after the book... Most of the photos on this website are taken by Welsh photographer Rhys Jones. The others my myself. In november 2011 I released my first soloalbum in Swedish. Flickan av is. 10 songs of my own and three translations of Steve Earle. You can listen to a couple of tracks att myspace.com/lolitaray, and of course Spotify and iTunes, and if you want to order a copy, drop me a mail at sixstring97@yahoo.com Pax Lo

Story behind the song
I wrote the lyrics back in the summer of 99 when a robber brutaly shot down two policemen...None of them survived, and the young robber became a killer....
Lyrics
He wants to be a hero He wants to be a man He wants someone to respect him He always does it wrong He is a child trapped inside a monster A mother’s sweetheart trapped inside a beast They couldn’t show him love Not teach him right from wrong Where did you lose them? Where did they go? Are they still in there? The good things in you Do you ask for forgiveness? Do you cry at night? When you look in the mirror Do you see the devil’s eyes? What more do you need How do you feel? It is all over Do you know it’s for real? Where did you lose them? Where did they go? Are they still in there? The good things in you He wants to be a hero He wants to be a man He wants someone to respect him He always does it wrong He want’s to be at hero I know he never will The hero died inside him The day he chose to kill Foto: Rhys Jones
