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 a song about ambition" Man, this is old. This is really old. In fact it's the oldest one of the selected tracks I've uploaded here. It hearkens back to the days when Jorm wasn't even Jorm but an internal joke called "Riffkollektivet" and was first recorded among a whole bunch of other over-ambitious prog tracks. In hindsight I realised that these were actually good tracks for the most part so I thought it would be a nice thing to re-record some of them and make an actual album out of it. So I did and dubbed the album "Jorm is a world" since Jorm is a world unto itself. This, I recall, was highly influenced by Camel (which coincidentally have their own "Skylines") and deals with artefacts mirroring the ambitions of mankind.
Lyrics
Skyline in the evening Every rooftop is revealing In the ginger light of sun Everyone will run From to be outshun Narrowing horizon For each monolithic rising Marking places never seen for people never keen to live out their dream Skyline all surrounding Strives for equalizing All within the hegde around Restore the human bound Temporarily found Nothing is persistent in this world they are insisting Is the place to be When in need of being free I'd say: As if! Skyline in reflection Of all kinds of fake perfection All the patience of the sun Watching all the guns Has no pendant here So, we think we're something Maybe time for reassembling all the bridges and towers Make the evening glow throught the skyline show
