about

”The Return” was the last song to be included on the album. To me, it carries a necessary light in complicated times. It was written on an old piano during soundcheck at a show in Sweden, January 2020, just before most venues closed down.

The song is a return to intuition. To trusting that you are ok. Whoever you became in life, no matter your dreams or expectations, you are ok.

I found an old cassette of my grandfather singing Swedish folk songs from his youth. His voice ends the song. They used to go from house to house in the countryside, singing, hoping to receive gifts. People were here before us and people will follow. The road was here all along, trust it and start walking.


Gustav

lyrics

THE RETURN

Somewhere I
Lost my bearings
I had no clue who
I had turned into

It took me some years
To find out
I wasn’t going
To be anyone else

Every street I walked
Every fight I lost
Now I’m coming back for me
I’m coming back for me

Every bird I heard
Singing my life’s words
Now I’m coming back for me
I’m coming back for me

Wishful friend
and my darling foe
They had me taking
the pill that made you nothing

Feeding off a feed
That feeds from that mighty feed
Is that all there is
Is that all there is

Every street I walked
Every fight I lost
I’m coming back for me
I’m coming back for me

Every bird I heard
Singing my life’s words
Now I’m coming back for me
I’m coming back for me

I used to raise my hand
Saying this is not the end
Now I’m coming back for me
I’m coming back for me

Every song I bring
Are all honest mistakes
I’m coming back for me
I’m coming back for me

Bells Fell Silent Malmö, Sweden

Gustav Sigala Haggren was asked to play a few solo shows. He wanted to play some of his recent, more personal work. After trying them out on stage he felt he needed to pursue the project further.
He and Niklas Hegfalk stayed in Niklas cabin for a week and wrote some intimate, reduced songs that should become the foundation of the self-titled debut album, to be released in November 2020.
