umiumi goes vivaldi

UMIUMI | MySpace Video.. why you may ask? I have lost my sexual lust for music and that is why I havent been around for the past 6 months. I havent been able to create anything or, the things I have made has been shit. but hopefully that will all change. I have been so fucking angry with most people that I have met. no fun no laugh no nothing. just boring. why? WHY? well I will no longer put up with the fucking rules that takes you on and fight you to the death as soon as you have been born to this world. fuck it I do as I please from now on. so there will be alot more music and paintings up here soon. not with vocals cuz I dont have anyware to record them. but I have always thought of my music as instrumental. the vocals are just there for the show. so is this the worst spelled post so far? yes. and I like it. this is my new video, there is nothing special about it. it is recorded as most of my videos in my kitchen and that is all 2 it. also I have been listening 2 vivaldi alot. I guess you can tell. love love love love it will be better soon. Anna

LETS FUCKING DO IT. I have moved yet again. this time to Bagarmossen also in Stockholm but Im not quite sure for how long I will be staying. I have brother who is living in Barcelona at the moment so I'm making very small plans in maybe going there this spring for a visit and maybe play? (if anyone in Barcelona reads this get me a gig! I can play at the beach, wherever) and maybe in the fall move there. I felt that this was the last winter I spent in Sweden, at least in Stockholm for a few years to come. I'm on the move. if anyone else have ideas of where to come, what good plays to work at or just visit. let me know and Ill brainstorm out a tour. aight?!

I'm writing new songs I have bought myself a baby blue guitar which I hardly know how to play but its springtime its singtime.
 SO HAPPY EASTER, and soon enough. there will be more, much more.

love

Anna

 Im moving around in stockholm. in 5 months I have lived in 3 different places. and for now, Im staying in beautiful Hjorthagen wich if you translate it is:

Deerfield.

it is also the name for one of my new songs that I am working on for the moment. so new songs a new video and hopefully some more amazing gigs in the close future. one of the new songs is Fire in the hall, and as soon as I have finished the recordings you will get to hear it. its about love, distance between people, and the dream of just going, to take a chance, all the way to the edge and back again.

Fire in the hall

have you heard? I think it was in the news today,

they vrote, I quote " I love you" and some trees they got roots they say.

out in the backyards there's been a riot I see the burnt grass under the wires but as soon as the fog lifts Im out of here out on the road.

we got some miles between us

 we got some miles between us.

have you heard I think it was in the news today?

 they vrote, I quote " I love you" and some black birds got blue they say.

Fire in the hall we got some miles between us. Fire in the hall but we got roads that leads us.

Home.

and again, if you want me to come and play in your hometown, in your livingroom or at your club, just send me a message and Ill see you soon.

sweet love

/Anna

Time floats by like ducks in my hometowns river, half frozen to death, up and down stream, in the non-existing winter. In the middle of the darkest time of the year, I know it can be hard to put your clothes on and step outside with a big smile on everyday. But it doesn't matter.
The only thing that matters is to know that it is changing. one of the new songs, Departure was born in such a state of mind.
To for the first time let someone that you care for, in under your skin and at the same time not be afraid. Oh I know this is coming out very pretentious but I blame the dark winter days and that harmonica guy who is harassing everybody at Drottninggatan, Stockholm.
At this track my little sister Flora is singing chorus, and I want to thank my little brother Fabian, who gave me great backfeed, then I was in the studio.

 Departure.

Oh I feel shaky as I sit down in my seat. cuz I don't know which way to head,

I take a deep breath and you hold my hand steady, cuz you don't know which way to head.
oh here, I give you all that I have
here I give you all that I am.
when we fly...
outside your window blows a wind
it carries our moments and tunes to sing
it blows through all the pipes and horns
to stubborn pine trees tries to stop it
two robin birds there flight grows on it
it take my words turns them in to song.
when we fly.



The song of the day is,  I Have a Friend Named Billy - Jeremy Storch
forever beautiful.

love / Anna

In the late autumn hours I am sitting, writing on some new material. You/Me is now only me, Anna Berglund. With a clear picture of where I'm heading. In late December/January I am planning to release a small single 50 copies or so. The single will be called Departure and will contain 4 songs,

Stockholm City, Congos Beats, Stranded Lover and Departure.

If you want to buy Flow My Tears, the first Ep, just send me and email about it and we will sort it out.

Here follows the lyrics and some background story to the two new songs Congos Beats and Stockholm City,

Congos Beats. Summer 2007, I spent most of my days sitting in a huge window in the sun, watching summer life pass by on the ground below. Fredrik one of my close friends made fresh baked bread in the mornings. The Congos - Heart of the Congos ruled my speakers and I decided to move from Eskilstuna. Things that also Inspired me was, Leslie Cheung in "Days of being wild",  Bacon a sweet dog, the feeling you get after smelling the first autumn rain on the pavement, and love, Of course.

Leslie moves smooth through the room, And Congos beats pounces like sweets. You step closer up to me. And autumn grabbed us in his claws.

Wait there is a fire in here we'll be burned we have to wait. From here and onward there'll be no return. Wait there is a fire in here we'll be burned we have to wait. From here and onward there'll be no return.

Would you love me, if I loved you? And if a danced with you, would you swing it on me?

I'm like the stray dog you picked up, rotten I scratch through my bones,

Unlike the true bride you dream of rotten I scratch through my bones.

Wait there is a fire in here we'll be burned we have to wait. From here and onward there'll be no return. Wait there is a fire in here we'll be burned we have to wait. From here and onward there'll be no return.

 Stockholm City. When I was 16 years old, I spent a weekend in Stockholm with my two girlfriends. It was a late spring and very cold. We drank beers and met some guys at a fire on a hill. I lied about my age and ran down empty streets. it was a light blue night and we were singing the upcoming summer song that every radio station would play all summer long. Stockholm has always been close to me, and since 4 months back I have been lucky to live here.

Oh, put your dancing shoes on, your best mood on, you know you're a killer tonight.

You got the mixtape flowing soon you're rolling down the streets of your home town.

 

Stockholm city it's a pity you don't shine like this every day,

Stockholm city it's a pity I know what you're trying to say.

 

Step it up step it up, you know you got it when you see her smiling

Step it up step it up thou it is hard you better keep on trying

Step it up step it up there's is too much to lose you won't regret it

Step it up step it up, there is nightclub romance for the lone ones.

 

Stockholm city it's a pity you don't shine like this every day,

 Take Care

Stranded Lover


"I love the things you love Jean-luc Picard and morning sun
mayo on toast and beginnings when they've begun
I hate the things you hate
red pants on boys and loosing faith, when you're late
Weddingbells runs trough the streets of  Georgia
like our golden moments." /Jean-luc Picard

Anna:
I just came back from Emmaboda festival 07 where we played on Thursday.
With great weather and allot of wonderful people it was one of the best Emmaboda festival I've been to.

This week we will go in to the studio (a not so clean room, in a tower) and start on our next Ep, we just released our first one and it has sold like butter in the sun, as you often say in Sweden. so if you want to get one, just mail us and we'll fix so that you do.
The Ep is called "Flow My Tears" like our new song, named after the book "Flow My Tears The Policeman Said" by Philip K. Dick
its includes 7 tracks and its really good.

T ake care / Anna
