Mdfraser Hey Marie Dahlstrom

I hope you are well and keeping safe.

I just wanted to say I am a huge music lover and proudly owner of over 5,000 albums and your album was the best I have heard in 2 years and top 5 in last 5 years.

It’s simply top quality with 8 5* tracks and 5 4s I felt I had to tell you as it am so-gratified of your work and it’s quality. I have been promoting to all friends and sits as the best album I have purchased from Bandcamp (and I have 200)

Thank you, thank you,

To be honest with you usually I don't have a clue to be honest with you usually things don't always come true But I know that I wanna be with you and I know that there ain't any other future but the one that I share with you let all our dreams come true It was clear to see I just had to show you you were meant for me I think you already knew now that we're complete there's no pair without 2 Oh we spent some time laying side by side talking round the moon just to figure out what it means to live this life purposely together side by side All I wanna know is if nothing's really certain can you be the one to hold me when I'm hurting, deep inside? Can you be my lifeline? It was clear to see I just had to show you you were meant for me I think you already knew now that we're complete there's no pair without 2 It was clear to see I just had to show you you were meant for me I think you already knew now that we're complete there's no pair without 2

Oh I think he’s got eyes In the back Cause now he’s watching her like she’s doing a crime He's obsessed I know he’s tryna Change his ways but It won’t work Cause now she’s doubting every single thing That she’s doing Empty-handed cause he holds Onto questions he cant control Empty-handed by himself Hold too tight she will slip away Like Sand Like Sand Oh he thinks she just Insecure And that he’s doing her a favour when he reassures He says she’s lucky to Have a man at all Cause how would anybody love A woman like her Empty-handed cause he holds Onto questions he cant control Empty-handed by himself When you’re holding too tight she will slip away Like Sand Like Sand Are you ready for the rules to really change? Are you ready for the stream to hit the sea? Are you ready for the flowers to really bloom? I can’t love you like this, no No, I can’t love you like this I can’t love you Like this, no no no no… Empty-handed cause he holds Onto questions he cant control Empty-handed by himself When you’re holding too tight she will slip away Like Sand Like Sand

There's no time I just wanna put my feet in the water there's no time so give me just a little sun before 4 In this city life I live I forgot just how to breath let me feel the ground beneath hear the rush of fallen leaves the compromises of city life when you climb and climb just to get it right then you realise you've been living two lives and you can't win no no no There's no time I just wanna stand and stare at the flowers yeah there's no time I just wanna lose myself here for hours yeah Let me drink a little wine turn my phone off for one night sunday morning filled with him nowhere to end or to begin the compromises of stolen time when you climb and climb just to get it right then you realise you've been living two lives and you can't win no no no Learn to waste a little time today meet your friends in a cafe just give your dog a walk, play a game of cards, stroll around the park In this city where I live I forgot just how to breath feel the earth under my skin hear the rush of fallen leaves the compromises of city life when you climb and climb just to get it right then you realise you've been living two lives and you can't win you can't win, no

So far from shore that I couldn't see Though that my compass would guide me Straight to the treasure that lies beneath But I found myself in no mans land Someone lend a helping hand Someday I'll find my way though all of this I'm wandering through the fog of my mind Do I know the way? What's the location of that voice within telling me not to quit I've got plenty more in this ship I've got room for my mistakes yeah Finding it hard not to hesitate I made my choice, still I question it where are the signs to a better place? Tell me what I have to pay So I can leave my legacy Someday I'll find my way though all of this I'm wandering through the fog of my mind Do I know the way?

Counting sheep the morning's close but yet so far wide awake till I see a glimpse of dawn laying in bed at night all I think about is how should I get you off my mind drifting far away, into dreams and fairly tales the window shines the moon into my eyes now that I can't sleep at night now that I can't sleep at night now that I Loneliness, this bed is big enough for two it's so unfair when I just wanna lay down next to you yeah laying in bed at night all I think about how should I get you off my mind drifting far away, into dreams and fairly tales the window shines the moon into my eyes now that I can't sleep at night now that I can't sleep at night now that I I love the way the sheets drape your body Just a little sweat after a hot day Feed you chocolate strawberries Sweet tooth bite ya neck like a tooth fairy I’m sorry that I gotta go take this train to my studio but I’ll be back home late with the mistletoe so please don’t fall asleep I wanna let ya know that you’re my favourite dream when I don’t got you by my side I’m wide awake so bby Ima sing us both a lullaby so bby Ima sing us both a lullaby now that I can't sleep at night now that I can't sleep at night now that I Sleep and thought of you fighting what to do when it's a quarter past three hey to the break of day cast all my fears away now that you're by my side we can finally sleep at night we can finally sleep at night we can finally sleep at night we can finally sleep at night we can finally sleep at night we can finally sleep at night we can finally sleep at night
14.	Summer Evenings (feat. Aligo) 03:00	lyrics	buy track
Somebody told me when you search you don't find somebody told me it takes time to recognise the fear that I hold am I good enough to keep my throne? will my efforts be in vain? am I learning from my mistakes? On these summer evenings I will try for me on these summer evenings I will see things the way you see I can feel the breeze and it feels warm on me on these summer evenings I can view myself differently yeah Is it the effort I make that fuels my fear? is it the glimpse of what could be? The hope that frightens me? When life is this good I long for infinity trading my cautious steps for a chance to do my best On these summer evenings I will try for me on these summer evenings I will see things the way you see I can feel the breeze and it feels warm on me on these summer evenings I can view myself differently yeah Mistakes are what makes a man Understand Not attaching myself to be repetitive, make a plan Peter Pan still in never land I’m doing donuts in the quicksand But if you searching then you will find These last steps were for mankind And super powers lie in studio hours The only remedy is smelling the flowers And having our name on top of the towers So what we really after Aint the candy painted rims that go sour Or hiding behind the accolades like a coward But step up to the plate on that hot summer evening And knocking that thing out the park Nah just walk it off Step up to the plate then we walk it off Its not about what you hate you just walk it off It’s not about how you hate you just walk it off I step up to the plate then I walk it off
