Dreams Precede Everything
Last night’s dream was played out in an insane asylum, psychiatric ward or a whatever you wanna call that. Everything was symbolic and metaphoric, and a reflection of what I’ve seen in people since I got back, after being away from their charade for a good long time. In this nut house I had a ...
One of my favorite poems is Slovo o Čovjeku by Mak Dizdar. It really sums up existentialism, Zen and the nature of being a human - while at the same time filling me with the right kind of spirit and insight. Here is the poem translated by me to Swedish and English. At the end of ...
During the last years I had written poetry and songs in Swedish, most of it short, expanding in meaning yet concise, while others are not of few words. The idea of making folk songs, publishing a poetry book or reading out poetry live has been there all along. But not fully realized, while I've been ...

It is in the moment of a laid back spring midday, when the temperature is just about right outside, inside and in that warm cup of joe, that I hear how wonderful the written word is. When it's read out in a conversational tone. Mixed with the natural ambient or urban sounds beneath the balcony, ...

Hela livet drömde jag den återkommande stranden av uppvaknande. Nu, på denna strand spolas jag in i vakenhet. Det är såhär det blir i att kunna titta, ...
Vidišli? Osjetiš li ljude? Koji lome suhe grane, što su duša i oči, od nekih drugih ljudi. Od kafića do globalne politike, to su zaista kukavice! Oči gledaju, ali ovaj par prožima. Oči i riječi, nisu uvijek vezani istinom. Kad se mi gledamo i vidimo, baš smo slijepi. Je li se tajne vide u očima? Zašto to ljudi direktno i negledaju – duboko u oči drugih? Je ...
It's the 3rd year after the nuclear disaster in Japan. In March that year I wrote a song dedicated to the accident in Fukushima. It is in Bosnian and the text dwells on the topic of nuclear power, weapons and waste - in a punk poetic way. The music is played by Mikael Edebro and ...
This is a song I wrote in the winter of 2010. Here are two versions, one with an electric guitar and one with a nylon acoustic guitar. snow fall snow fall, whereever you go, whatever road you might choose, tonight you'll be inside of, snow fall, in whatever tree you might climb, there'll be no monkeys around, they all left the town, snow fall ...
