1.	Atlantic Avenue 05:52	lyrics	buy track
ATLANTIC AVENUE words & music Madeleine Östlund I step outside the door, take a breath the avenue is full of life I join the stream I´m in the crowd where people meet and drift apart The traffic´s moving, running like a tide yes, like a river floating by it´s coming on and leading off to all the crossroads in this town The day begins to form and as I walk I find my way the birds are singing soft my thoughts drift to the sky And now I hear the whistle in the air the southbound train is pulling out I hope to find a way to you and hidden rooms inside your heart

3.	Waltz of the friends 05:51	lyrics	buy track
WALTZ OF THE FRIENDS music Roland KIrk words Madeleine Östlund Somewhere this waltz begins it´s in the graceful wind Somewhere our friendship starts it´s when you make me laugh yes, you see who I am what I need as we sit in the shade searching words ´bout our lifes that we live Surrounded by falling light soft winds that go to bed words from a secret tongue leave us with more to find and the blend of our thoughts gives the lark in the tree new ideas to a song to be sung for a friend
4.	A Tale about horses 07:07	lyrics	buy track
TALE ABOUT HORSES words & music Madeleine Östlund Stories and songs pictures to dream all the world is in my book legends ´bout the life we can win Horses that run over the moor running wild and galloping free hooves on the ground manes in wind freedom pounds in every step When I hear the fairytale I travel far I play with thoughts that this is my life Turning the page the horses are now standing in the silence of night under trees with pendulous leaves Still, in this peace with horses that champ echoes of the thundering hooves when I´m laying down the book the thought of freedom pounds in me

6.	Regn, regn 04:44	lyrics	buy track
Regn,regn Bland gran och tall buskar och blad väver ett dis drömmen om regn En fågel far upp vingslag dör bort skogen står tyst stilla och tyst Allt som himlen bär i regntunga moln ska lossna och strömma till jorden med ett stril Hon drömmer, hon ler när dropparna faller ljudet av regn ger bilderna liv Och dropparna faller på buskar och blad kvistar och gräs glänser av fukt
7.	Air and Gravity 07:01	lyrics	buy track
AIR AND GRAVITY Dancing, my body´s swinging slowly in the air, against the gravity letting my arms in soaring circles raise with air and fall with gravity Lines and curves in rivers they grow from within swift and shifting quivers beat that grows from the ground The melody is passing through my body, flowing It´s in my limbs and joints and in my footsteps, flowing Deeper, into a play with forces let them lead and let them follow easy, just like a wind, a feather let it touch and let it leave the ground Turn, return and finding the body can sing then again I´m gliding the body can swing I dance and feel the wondrous space around me, flowing resounding joy is everywhere inside me, flowing

9.	Luftliv (Airlife) 05:20	lyrics	buy track
LUFTLIV Och vinden sveper över slätten, över upp och ner den sköljer genom böljande gräs Den dansar runt, den griper tag i mig en virvelvind som leker genom buskar och snår vänder mörka blad driver som en flod insidan som skymtar skimrar i trädens bladverk, ljusgrön Och tankens vind som färdas vida över världen kommer åter som en tonande ström Jag ser den tränga in i trädens alla kronor som en sång som tränger in i mitt bröst öppnar djupa valv fyller, cirklar runt stiger för att sväva kretsa i rymdens världar, luftliv
10.	Evening scenery 05:14	lyrics	buy track
EVENING SCENERY People talk and music´s on a window´s open to show the moon clinking glasses, pouring of wine and now your eyes finding mine again a glance a smile a rush a driving force a cooling breeze to live to breathe to rest and dream to see a face and dream again this moment fills the song I´m the water, you are the sun so I dream in my silent thoughts someone sings along in a phrase slowly forming a melody we hear the music find a winding line la da di da this moment fills the song it´s now and passing by the music brings a newborn love to us
11.	Almost at home 02:00	lyrics	buy track
ALMOST AT HOME Almost at home and I know you are there led by a song through streets full of sand the winter is gone winter is gone

about

It sings- In the trees, in the wind, in all the movements of the city -in me. On this my first CD I want at first hand to communicate a strong feeling for life, poetry and affinity with nature. In my own writing music always comes first. Words are equally important, but have a longer journey. On the CD are 7 songs of my own and 4 beautiful, seldom heard compositions by Mingus, Kirk, Dameron och Brown.jr.
