We all have wishes
We all have pride
We all make decisions
We all tell lies
And in spite of what life may be telling me
We all possess true love's ability
For years it has been on my mind and heart to offer people the opportunity to bring home a little bit of me and my music. This product has come to life through many hours of effort and a great amount of love. The stories in these songs are all inspired by the life I have been living and of the life I am trying to live. It is my wish that this product will bring hope to people who find themselves in a world full of brokenness and pain. More so I wish to honor God the almighty and His Son Jesus Christ for all He has given me.
If not for the help and support from friends and family this EP would never have seen the light of day. Thank you Dorit for giving me the freedom to go to Nashville for three months and supporting me in this ludicrous project. Thank you mom and dad for supporting me financially. To Devon, Becki and Reegan DeVries for letting me be part of their family for three months. For Søren Kjeldgaard for taking the long trip to Nashville to make some amazing photos. To the producers for letting me be me. All glory to God for leading me on His path.
All songs written by Broder A (aka Andreas Hejslet). Recorded in the fall of 2010 in Nashville with an amazing team from Global Genius Productions.
lyrics
Brink Decision
One foot on the brink and one in the air
The wind is blowing strong
I took a deep breath to repeat my prayers
Been standing there for so long
Feeling the wind and sensing its power
But never flying away
My eyes kept crying, blind and afraid
Uncertainty made me stay
"Please open my eyes and make me see
Show me that I can fly
Cause what if the wind won't carry me
Show me, and then I'll try"
No one is supposed to fly by themselves
But you are the only one who owns the power to let go
But I've heard of a man who trusted the wind
to carry him over the cliff
A man with no vision, battered and blind
But the wind had made him live
"So please lift me up and take me through
Carry me to that land
How long do you want to leave me here?
Lift me from where I stand"
No one is supposed to fly by themselves
But you are the only one who owns the power to let go
One foot on the fear and one in the trust
The wind is dying down
"Why don't you answer, why don't you lift?
I thought you could do what you want"
No one is supposed to fly by themselves
But you are the only one who owns the power to let go
Inspired by the voice of Faith Evans and love for the haters. A beat tape full of deconstructed soul samples and scant percussion. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 28, 2016
