Jorm

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 my personal favourites, if I may take a little liberty here. Slow-paced but steadily building up tension that erupts in that fuzzy guitar break (which in fact is derived from a Brian Eno song, and no, not "Warm jets"). The lyrics deal with escapism leaking through to the everyday life of people encountering each other.

That little coda "Summergrove" was made up on the spot in the recording process and hung onto the tail end of the main song. I just wanted a psychedelic intermission to beef up the pretentions. (Or to provide a laid back breather, whichever you prefer).

Lyrics

Say hi to the audience, paid for being seen 
Like the fool and how he's right
And how nobody knows he's right
But that's just in the film

Say no more to the writer, he knows your very life
His books are where you got it from
And your reaction is his oat from which he lifts your meal

And you thought that you've been dreaming
when they showed it on the cover
what you never should discover through the seasoned water

Precious wounds up to the fore
Secrets known by everyone never to be confirmed
Like the fool and how he's wrong
And how everyone thinks he's right
That sure is for real

As long as the music plays, reason keeps you down
And who'd want to remain down?
The artsy wit, the one put-on, the classy whim of care

And you thought that they've been dreaming
when they played their grieving anthem
on behalf of all the low-lifes
carried from the paper

As long as the music plays...
