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
Another one of my, and allegedly many other's, favourites written a long time ago. It's just one of those songs that elegantly falls into place and could as well be played around the campfire. (Not that I would). Everyone needs a shuffle and this is the one on "Veritas", without falling too far behind in the progressive department since it contains a laid back intermission (with flutes) before starting all over again. The lyrics deal with faux sincerity and people's suspicion against each other's intentions.
Lyrics
Speak out! Now that we are here I want you to show who you are, where you've been all the things that you've seen prior to now Answer! I didn't lay out all my issues of thought just to hear you agree with a faint hum and turn to the others And you may think I've got the worst of intents Because it is dark and the only thing we share is ale an Chardonnay But I'm true now, I'm not after prey So cease your doubting now Clear the passage and let in the things you never knew could be for real Don't be frightened now Truth is always at your hands The only way to cope is to resign So bear in mind how you feel before you pretend to agree So many things that are said without thought How can we know what's real? Never a thought of who will remember your lies Talking never easy when you know it won't be taken seriously And you wonder who'll turn it to slander Liar! Did you ever get the notion I spared? How hard should I try? How could I know I'm right if you won't tell? So now you taught me that the truth isn't worthy Opression is freedom and war is peace Oh no, you won't be fooling me It's not right just because you all agree
