Jorm is a world. Well, it's mainly the brainchild of my musical vision but onstage we are a whole band. On the recordings however, I solely perform all instrume
Jorm is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Fredrik Andersson but began as a joke called "Riffkollektivet" (freely translated "The Riff Community") with the amibition of making old school progressive rock. As any good joke it detoured into more serious territory and became sort of a dual-existing project with a live directed band on one side and a recording project on the other and that's where we're at. The emphasis is still on symphonic prog rock but the palette has extended to include just about anything that pops into Fredrik's hairy head. In short: Jorm is on one hand a one-man recording project and on the other hand a full band occaisonally performing selected songs live wherever they may get the chance. Or even shorter: Jorm is a world.

Story behind the song
This is one of a bunch of tracks from the album "E!" which consists of heavily electronica-influenced indie pop. You could say that the album is divided into two parts; one instrumental and one with vocal driven songs. The instrumental half was put together as somewhat of a throwaway at least half a year before the other ones came to life. It was through the makings of the vocal tracks that I decided to slam it all onto one big fat electronica album, so I did. Here is one of the vocal tracks that I think is quite representative of the album as a whole. The lyrics deal with the frailty of subjectively defined seasons.
Lyrics
A SUMMERWARMTH OF RAILS Mind the gap between the season and the rails A rainfall never fails to ease up the tension Between the spring and fall I've put on hold the call to change and rearrange as the sun is bending What's known by the dawn may be gone in the evening Years looked upon through a dream A summerwarmth of rails, the season looks so frail I want to know you well, I want to get near you The curbing of the rails by swelling metal sunrays Oh, how to know it all And oh, how to see it all And oh, how to stand aside and watch it derail Now we're changing seats, that's how you people meet A terminal velocity at which thoughts collide Great minds in a field can alter any speed But now the field is gone and merged with a grey zone What's gone by tomorrow may well be rethought then A child will pick out an ancient hoax A summerwarmth of rails, the season looks so frail I want to know you well, I want to get near you The curbing of the rails by swelling metal sunrays Oh, how to know it all And oh, how to see it all And oh, how to stand aside and watch it derail Though we are here now and gone by the evening the rails will end up where we'll rejoice Summon all the rails to take us all the way Oh to know you well, Oh how to be near you Seasons are so frail but we don't have to stay here Oh, how to know it all And oh, how to see it all And oh, how to stand aside and watch it derail Oh how to know you well and you to know me
