This track was recorded in a house by the beach in Skagen, Denmark. I play guitar and sing back vocals and the very talented Signe Ljunglöf sings the lead.
lyrics
A D A E, A D E A
well in my heart I'm already leaving now
and in my mind I left the modern world behind
the city lights are too bright to see the stars
and these city hearts too stressed to set a spark
D E A A x4
But this spark of mine I'm gonna let it shine
in this concrete graveyard they call a town
may our hearts be one
and may wild thunder strike us down!
A D A E, A D E A
Growing up we needn't even lock the door
we just ran through the summernights never to be bored
take a dive into the river, building huts in the woods
and these neighborhood parties lasted all night through
D E A A x4
Yea we rode our bikes through the twilight
and the night belonged to us, we belong to the night
we were happy, we were free
we never wanted things to be differently
A D A E, A D E A
But growing up you're gonna need a place to stay
and you know that you gotta make every month pay
A lot of different people makes this suburb pretty great
but everyone's too fucking tired to make something out of it
D E A A x4
This city brings people to their knees
the city was made for banks, malls and money
so may our hearts be one
and may wild thunder strike us down
A D A E, A D E A
Yea I know that this economy doesn't grow for you and me
and I know that we've been living on a lot of love lately
But I also know we can turn those malls into community centers
and the banks into common property
D E A A x8
And we can plant trees in those streets
tear down the parking lots and plant beans
burn the cars, ride our bikes
and dance around a campfire every night
And this spark of mine I'm gonna let it shine!
in this concrete graveyard they call a town
May our hearts be one
and may wild thunder strike us down
