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
I Won't Give Up
If my love to you was real
Would you taste it? Would you feel?
If my smile should fade away
Would you notice? Would you stay?
You've got your reasons
And I've got mine
Some things won't heal over time
I won't give up
Not before there's an ending
I won't say stop
'Till the day you stop pretending
Don't expect a warm embrace
If I get your double face
I've been thinking twice again
Would you ever be my friend?
You've got your reasons
And I got mine
Some things won't heal over time
I won't give up
Not before there's an ending
I won't say stop
'Till the day you stop pretending
This battle is not over. Though I know we're going slower, we can still get to know one another.
We could be like sister and brother, but you wouldn't bother to embrace.
Not even the days where I was in your face.
You'd run away so quick, to pull a trick and have your memories erased.
I know it takes the two of us to be this ludicrous
To put mine and yours entire love at stake.
See. If freedom was free, than what would life be?
Then could anyone just take my love and forsake me.
No I'll pay the pale price of responsibility,
to be stuck for better or worse in love, just you and me.
I may loose the will to love, but Gods heart will always be LOVE
I won't give up
Not before there's an ending
I won't say stop
'Till the day you stop pretending
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
