If Only Your Bed Could Cry

Lyrics

There are so many memories
muted in your pillow
tattooed on your walls
they've seen it all and kept it in

And I know you still believe
the void is in your sleep
painted on your dreams
they've seen it all and kept it in

Aching for release
aching for relief

If only your bed could cry

My thoughts

It’s the kind of song where the lyrics decide the melody. Which is not how I usually do it, but this time it made real sense. This song were, in part, recorded at night in a hotelroom in Stockholm at Hotel Amaranten in August 2009.

    Hello i recently discovered this piece of magnificent art, an ethereal and so beautiful voice, amazing melodies and really surprisingly deep lyrics, more than lyrics poetry.
    Thank you so much for enhancing my life with such beautiful art.

    I feel that i get this vibe/message to be "personal" to everyone, which makes the ambience very relieving in context to the lyrics.

    So... speecless, kindof. The lyrics of this song, they really cling to a bit older person (ehem) who has lived alone for a while but have had some memories to remember.
    The question is, what happens when released? He he, but it's good to the creativity if one is clever enough to transform.
    But sometimes it is just that "If only your bed could cry"
    Thanks for the great song. I can't imagine someone recording in hotelrooms and stuff. It amazes me.
