Work in progress
I've been home this week having a flue or cold or something and between reading a nice book (Kim Novak badade aldrig i Genesarets sjö - Håkan Nesser) and sleeping I have been working on some ideas and tunes and some of them I've mentioned earlier but some are new as the day.
Here comes the working titles:
1. Cash
2. Snowflakes
3. Digital
4. Mangerythm
5. Easy target/Foolish dreamer

By the way...
...I started work on some music tonight. It became very anthem like. Maybe I'll manage to write some lyrics tomorrow. Maybe.
Goodnight!

Snowflakes
The clock just passed midnight
Snowflakes are slowly falling down
Dress the ground in white
There is calm
Everything's quite
It is peace here tonight!

Hello saturday!
We've been taking things easy here this morning. I've written the song 'easy target/foolish dreamer' and been watching some webbtv on svt.se. Now I'll take a warm nice shower.

A camp
Just heard A camp's brand new single, 'stronger than Jesus'. Great music, but I'm a little skeptic to the lyrics..."don't you know love is stronger than Jesus"...I thought He is love defined...
Well, I am looking forward to the album Colonia.

This piece of wood inspired to a song yesterday. Thanks Stefan...
This is where the action is documented.
Friday night
It's friday and Andreas&Johanna is here. They and my mrs 'pysslar' with christmas things and I'm trying to sort things out in "The Office".
It's been a long process making this room ok and there's still much to do before it's done. But it's shaping up!
Now I'll go and join them listening to christmas classics sung by Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra

Tour is getting closer
...and I miss my girls already!
There's been a lot of activity in my head since last weekend. Thinking of things like Life, God, Love and so on and so on...Once I wrote a song about times like these before. It is called 'Light my way'. I think I'll play that one on friday.
There's a lot to plan before a trip like this and like it wasn't enough with the things I wrote about above I've got to fix things like amplifiers, guitars, rental car...
Better go to sleep early...

Last night
Last night me and my Mrs. went to a youth-meeting at our church. It was ages since we last went together so it was really nice sitting in those hard-like-a-stone benches and hold hands.
Peter Halldorf 'preached' and it was a long time since God spoke too me that strongly. My heart was set on fire and I couldn't stop thinking of what I'd just learnt.
Last night was just amazing!

mmm...
Last night was a real pleasure. Drums are so fun to record because they are the solid rock that you build your song upon. Mange did a great work on 'If we bury things alive' so stay tuned for that song!

I love a woman
Tonight I worked on a song I wrote the basics to a couple of weeks ago. It's named 'A woman, a girl'.
It is about 2.24 long/short and very simple. It will be exciting rewinding the tapes tomorrow and listen to the song. Maybe it's crap, maybe it's great. Time will tell.
I started on another idea called 'Easy target' as well. But things didn't come together so I decided to drop it 'til later.
Now bed.

Trees
Trees stand tall at the same place all thier life.
They grow.
They breathe in and they breathe out life.
What could we do without the trees.
Sometimes I wish I could be more satisfied with life and with just breathing. But for the most of the time I'm not, I want to do more, be more, get more! More, more, more...
Now I'll have to go water our flowers.
:)

For free!
The talented artist Derek Webb is giving away yet another record for free in mp3-format. 'The ringing bell' is a bunch of great songs and I will surely listen to it over and over again.
Another great record is the brand new album from british pop trio Keane.
"Almost"-brother-in-law and good friend, musician (the list can go on for a while), Andreas Viberg lend me this record a week ago and I have definitly enjoyed it. Songs like 'Again and again' and 'Spiralling' are pop-classics!

Disconnected
I've been disconnected from the world for 2 days now...being without my computer. I've been spending some quality time with my famaily just hanging around watching some movies and so on. Really great. Me and my little girl are not feeling too well this weekend so we are staying home today from church. I feel sad about that cause I havn't been able to go there the last couple of weeks and won't be able the coming weeks either. So it will be like ages next time. Hopefully things will be more regular soon and calm down a bit before christmas.
Talking about christmas, all I want this year, is a peaceful one. Spend time with family and just be. Be!
Maybe my wish will come true...

Tired
After a tough day, a glass of milk and a sandwich warms up my soul a little bit. Listening to Dilba and Derek Webb tonight. To great records wich names I can't remember this very moment.
Now I'll go to bed reading Runaway Jury by John Grisham.
Good night and good luck!

Good morning blog!
Last nights songs turned out to be quite good and after watching some movie clips of U2 I got inspired to write even more. Exit desert - enter ocean. The before sleep there was 2 new song. 'If I havn't got you' and 'Desert'. These are working titles and will probably change in the process.
Now I need to check on my little daughter who has a cold.

In the desert
Lately I've been in a quite creative phase when it comes to songwriting. Some weeks I wrote on new ideas almost everyday. But since our last gig it just stoped. The blood didn't cross the singwriting-vein and everything gets quite frustrating. I want to write but the ideas simply doesn't arrive. I go from the guitar to the piano to the computer to create a beat or something but no good comes out. And tonight I had the same feeling, you know, sitting by my apple with my sixstring trying to come up with an fresh idea. But nothing. Some might wanna explore the desert, but I don't. I want the rainforests, the ocenas the colours, the sky...
After playing some old tune I wander over to the piano and suddendly, from a blank mind, an idea is born. I've tried the same chords before but it took me nowhere. It's a strange feeling when you know the basic of writing but still you can't write.
I don't know if it's something good enough, coming out tonight, but at least it took me somewhere for a brief moment. My wife told me that it was beautiful though, so maybe.

The Sauna
Last night me and good friend Johan, spend an hour talking in their sauna. What a priceless thing to do. I love it. Just sit in the heat and chat for a while. Talk about recording interfaces or family or God or just anything.
This morning started a little to early. My little girl wanted the house to know that she won't fall asleep again. But tough as I am...I won the battle and she is now sleeping some more, just so she hopefully awakends in a better mood. Me though couldn't go back to bed cause there was only a few minutes 'til I had to rise for work. And that's where I'm heading now. So...Have a nice day today!

I love my family
I love my family. Of course my biological, but also my extended. Tonight some of the extended members came by our apartment we ate "Marängswiss" and watched another film about Irene Huss called 'Nattrond'.
Right now I'm thinking about picking up my guitar and record some evening demos or something. Maybe I'll just surf around the web.

Feels good
Is there a better feeling than when you've done something boring and leave it behind. Instead of waiting for tomorrow I've just finished a massive "dish-mountain", listening to great christmas songs.
Now when the sun rises tomorrow or when my little gal wants to get up, there is a spotless and clean kitchen waiting for the breakfast to be done!
Now I'm gonna watch some great work made by Nicklas. He's into motion pictures you know...
Sleep tight!

New ideas
We've got songs for at least one record maybe 2 or 3... Still we're thinking about another EP. Right now we're talking with microfilm productions about a collaboration. We'll see what happens.
Today the sun is shining and I'm in a pretty good mood for the first time in a while. My wife says I've been tired since last weekends intense schedule. Maybe that's true. A lot of nights with interupted sleep following didn't make things easier...

So this blog's been dead
Yeah, I know this blog's been dead and I've been thinking about deleting it. But since we haven't a proper website yet I was thinking this could be it.
Stay tuned for updates.

Hi!
Long time no see, I know, but it really hasn't happened anything exciting for bells for awhile. 'til now...We've got a gig coming our way 28th of june and last night me and good friend Johan Hägglund spend some nice time in the studio. The result is recorded drums for a new song. Very thrilling! I didn't know what to expect about the recorded stuff when I opened my laptop this morning. But now when I listen to it I think it's great stuff! :) I hope to release it soon!
Have a nice day!

Stuck in my head
I've got a song stuck in my head, but I've never learned the lyrics so everytime when it comes up I start to sing some nonesense words...Really annoying! I know wich song it is though, it's a duet between Carola&Andreas Johnson called 'Lucky star'.
Remix
Friend and producer Petrus Wessman is doing a remix of our song Dead end street. So for all you dancing people, stay tuned!

Come closer
Yesterday I wrote a song called 'Come closer', and today I have it on repeat and I love it! :) I think it will appear on the next release.
Have a nice friday night!
Love Joel

A nice review
A friend of mine called me earlier today and asked if I had read the review of 'Everything is going to be alright' in the local newspaper yesterday. I hadn't, and maybe you havn't either. So it's in swedish and you can find it and read it here
Yepp. Finally we've created a page on facebook. It took a while and I think we might be the last band to join but now it's done.
By the way, new tunes arriving all the time. Two days before yesterday I started on the song 'Is there a reason' and yesterday when I felt better after some illness I started to write a song called 'Promise you'll stay'. It's very exciting and hopefully in a not to distant future we'll be able to record some of the new songs.
Now I have to eat some breakfast. Have a really nice weekend!

Lyrics & news
Hi, from now on this blog will be in english. I know that most of the readers are from sweden but there are a few visitors from other parts of the world and I want them to understand. I hope you can read my english writing, cause it might slip through some mistakes here and there... :)
So what's up in the band?
Well, right now we're planning some shows and festivals and spreading the word about our ep. But since there is so much joy in writing new songs, we're working on some new tunes aswell.
The entry before this contains the lyrics for the song 'Run into your arms' and more songs from the EP will follow soon.
That's all for now.

Run into your arms
Run into Your arms
Music & lyrics: Joel Sundholm
Take this broken soul
and heal the scars
there's a million parts
But I know You can
make it right again
make me complete again
I wanna run, run, run, run...into your arms
I may have said this a thousand times
But I don't want to be alone tonight
I am afraid
that my world might fall apart
And when I am weak
then who will keep me up
take this broken man
and build him up
take this trash of man
and build him up
I gonna run, run, run, run...into your arms
I may have said this a thousand times
But I don't want to be alone tonight
Give me strenght
'cause I'm without
and give me peace
'cause I'm running out
I need You
And I need You now
Please don't leave me here
without Your love
Hold my hand through the night
Let me feel Your skin
Let me hide for a while
under Your wings
I gonna run, run, run, run...into your arms
I may...

Underbart vackra fredag!
Man blir så glad när solen sticker fram dessa dagar. Man riktigt känner hur ens inre tinar upp några grader.
Ikväll ska jag iväg och trumma till min gode vän Andreas Viberg. Vi ska upp till piteå. Det ska bli kul!
Men passa på och njut ni också idag, om nu solen skiner hos er. Om den inte gör det kan nu ju alltid kura ihop er i soffan ikväll och ha fredagsmys!
Fridens!

2008 - Hoppets år!
God Jul & Gott Nytt År!
Det var ett tag sen jag skrev nåt här och det finns flera anledningar till det. Bland annat så har jag jobbat hårt på mitt kneg, och inte riktigt funnit tiden till att skriva. Men nu så känner jag att det är dags. Det är ju trots allt ett nytt år med nya möjligheter och tid för att ta nya bloggartag.
2008, det känns bra i munnen och nya drömmar&förväntningarna växer inom mig. Jag tror att det är ett hoppets år men också utmaningarnas. I år känner jag mig umanad att leva mer kärleksfullt, mer äkta och våga kasta mig ut på nya vägar. En vän till mig skriver intresant på sin blogg om att ta tid för varandra. Jag tror starkt på detta och känner det som en utmaning i år att ta till vara på de relationer jag lever i och av!
Ta nu till vara på er och än en gång, gott nytt 2008 - ett hoppets år!
