GUARDIAN ANGEL (© 2020)
1. A long time back, you gave me a card - Inside was a message that touched my heart
“I’m your Guardian Angel, I’ll watch over you - Whatever your issue, I’ll make you come through”
Ch. Dear daughter, I hope the guardian angels - Watch over you and your loved ones too
Dear daughter, I hope the guardian angels - Give their strength and love to you
2. Then you left me and went out in the world - Searching for yourself, just like me
But the message that you left, gave me hope - Wherever I went, I’d keep it closely
Ch. Dear daughter, I hope the guardian angels - Watch over you and your loved ones too
Dear daughter, I hope the guardian angels - Give their strength and love to you
b. For me, that card captures the essence - of what you have always been about
Protecting your world in the best way you could - providing a light that will never go out
Ch. Dear daughter, I hope the guardian angels - Watch over you and your loved ones too
Dear daughter, I hope the guardian angels - Give their strength and love to you
End Love to you, love to you!
STYLES (2019)
(all songs words and music © by Bjørn Guldager / Byorn Gold)
The "Country" songs are, well, country-style songs and largely inspired by stays in Nashville.
The "City" songs are more funk, RnB and harder rock-oriented
The "Past" songs take us back to the 50s and 60s with rock, pop and jazz.
"Espamenco" is in a class of its own.
01. BE A STAR (© 2017, City)
1. Well, I’m up Bob – but I wanna get down
So let’s move it – let’s get into town
Places to go, people to meet – a of lot fun around
2. Drop off the key Lee – cuz we ain’t coming back
Just take your ambitions – and pack your bag
Time to shine now – you’re on the right track
Ch. Cuz tonight in the city – there’s a stage for everyone
Tonight in the city – just turn the magic on
You can go far – tonight you can be a star
3. Hop on the bus Gus – cuz we’re getting outta here
Bring your mojo – leave behind the fear
Turn up your expectation – your moment is near
Ch. Cuz tonight in the city – there’s a stage for everyone...
B. Long enough have you waited – don’t have to wait no more
You’re anticipated – the light’s on you, you’re gonna fill the floor
Ch. Cuz tonight in the city – there’s a stage for everyone …
02. RUNNING ON LOVE (© 2017, Past)
1. My car runs on gas - keeps it moving right ahead
My car runs on gas - keeps it moving right ahead
I'm a bit like that too - but I run on love instead!
2. My car was built to go places - but back to the garage at night
My car was built to go places - but back to the garage at night
I also need to see some faces - and then go back to misses Right
Ch. I'm running on love baby - I'm running on love
extra hot Premium grade baby - I'm running on love!
3. My car gives me speed and comfort - but there's one thing that it can't do
My car gives me speed and comfort - but there's one thing that it can't do
I'm the one to give direction - to drive it home to you!
Ch. I'm running on love baby - I'm running on love
extra hot Premium grade baby - I'm running on love!
B. Your love is my fuel, your wish is my rule.
Every day I will, make sure that you fill -
fill me up, so I can run on love!
Ch. I'm running on love baby - I'm running on love.
extra hot Premium grade baby - I'm running on love! Oh yeah!
03. WHY DON'T YOU COME AROUND (© 2017, Country)
1. My house needs a loving hand - and I need loving company
I want you to come over - be right here, next to me
2. I lost your smile and your tussled hair - tryin’ to find myself
but I want to hold on to you - come back to me, I need your help
Ch. Why don’t you come around - and make my life bright again
We were always good together - so come around, make it right again
3. Most of what I have - I only needed long time back
Help me, to move on - lead me on a better track
Ch. Why don’t you come around - and make my life bright again
We were always good together - so come around, make it right again
b. If you dare - to renew our energy
Come and share - oh yeah - come and be close to me
Ch. Why don’t you come around - and make my life bright again
We were always good together - so come around, make it right again
04. ESPAMENCO (© 1989, Spanish)
(instrumental. Espamenco = España + Flamenco!)
05. ONE AT A TIME (© 2018, City)
1. My radar was off, my systems were down - way back when you first sneaked in
The door was wide open, the alarm didn’t go off - so all your little tricks could begin
But now I’ve got my eyes on you - I see you standing in the way - so:
Ch. The time has come - to let you go - one at a time
I’ll line you up - I’ll take you down - one at a time
2. You’ve been having a feast, you’ve had your hey days - playing games with my mind
For far too long, did not pay attention - what a frickin’ waste of time
But now I’ve got my eyes on you - I see you standing in the way - so:
Ch. The time has come - to let you go - one at a time
I’ll line you up - I’ll take you down - one at a time
b. No more patterns, no more bad turns - Tidy up and make a change
Aiming for a - better target - I see it coming within range
Cuz now I’ve got my eyes on you - I see you standing in the way - so:
Ch. The time has come - to let you go - one at a time
I’ll line you up - I’ll take you down - one at a time
(repeat) - one at a time - uh!
06. FOLLOW ME (© 2016, Country)
1. I post pictures of my peaks and hikes
But after several days, still no likes
On my social page, there is no buzz, no one ever came
Because they can’t figure out how to spell my name!
2. I have tried and tried to connect
But lately, I've started to suspect
That no matter what I do - I will never achieve fame
Cuz no one knows how to spell my name!
Ch. Follow me - I want you to come close
Follow me - so I must recompose
Follow me - change some letters, rearrange a bit
Follow me - anything to make it fit
3. Even on Tinder, oops I mean Twitter (yeah right!) of course I meant Twitter!
I keep trying to get swiped right, keep tryin’ to meet her
But even though my thumb is aching, I just don’t get in the game
Cuz no one knows how to spell my name
Ch. Follow me …
B. If you can find me, you deserve to be my friend
I got so much to share, got plenty of time to spend
But please act soon, for if I'm not befriended
All my social accounts will be suspended!
Ch. Follow me … (repeat)
07. SAY YOU'LL BE MINE (© 2017, Past)
1. You’ve been patient - I give you that
I have been rejected - so I’m not fast
I know you want the man - to make the first move
But right now I need - some help from you
Ch. If you really love me - then why don’t you say
I can’t go on like this - every day
Say that you love me - say that it’s time
I can stop searching - when you say - say you’ll be mine
2. By now, we surely have - a history
There’s no doubt - I know you’re right for me
Taking the next step - shouldn’t be hard
Still I could use a hand - and all of your heart
Ch. If you really love me - then why don’t you say
I can’t go on like this - every day
Say that you love me - say that it’s time
I can stop searching - when you say - say you’ll be mine
b. Come on - say that you will be mine
Help me - help me to cross that line!
3PC Taking the next step - shouldn’t be hard
Still I could use a hand - and all of your heart
Ch. If you really love me - then why don’t you say
I can’t go on like this - every day
Say that you love me - say that it’s time
I can stop searching - when you say - say you’ll be mine
You will be mine – be mine!
08. HIDDEN ENEMY (© 2018, City)
1. You bring unrest, you bring war
But the enemy that you’re looking for
Has been hidden for a long time
In the ground and in your mind
2. Taking you hostage as a child
Stealing your innocent smile
Replaced it with a sense of guilt
And a victim pattern thus was built
Ch. Stay quiet - stay alive
Don’t move - but survive
Hide away - and forget
Pray that future - will reset
3. To become free, you must learn
(that) to come forward, you must turn
One you find the point of pain
You can let it go and start to live again
Ch. Stay quiet - stay alive
Don’t move - but survive
Hide away - and forget
Pray that future - will reset
b. Too easy for it to hide (too easy for it to hide baby)
When you only looked outside (I ain’t looking outside no more)
The real one you can only find
When you search – inside your mind! (inside your mind)
Ch. Stay quiet - stay alive
Don’t move - but survive
Hide away - and forget
Pray that future - will reset
09. UNPACKIN' (© 2017, Country)
1. These shoes look kinda dusty – been walking a while
Puttin’ my feet up – puttin’ on a smile
The sun is setting – the day is done
But I don’t – have to move on
Ch. Unpackin’ – no more walking the streets
Unpackin’ – God, I love these clean sheets
Unpackin’ – that road was so long
Unpackin’ – but now I’m where I belong
2. These suitcases look kinda worn – they sure are past their prime
Like faithful old pets – they’ve served out their time
The moon’s up – cricket singing his song
But I don’t – have to move on
Ch. Unpackin’ – no more walking the streets
Unpackin’ – God, I love these clean sheets
Unpackin’ – that road was so long
Unpackin’ – but now I’m where I belong
b. I almost forgot – how good it could be
to just close the chapter – and choose to be free
I could get used – to living like this
No more yearning – just eternal bliss
Ch. Unpackin’ – no more walking the streets
Unpackin’ – God, I love these clean sheets
Unpackin’ – that road was so long
Unpackin’ – but now I’m where I belong
10. LET'S BE LOVERS (© 2017, Past)
1. Not long ago I learned something - being very true
“Nice guys come second” they said - don’t want to be like that to you!
I’m not here to take a backseat - that just won’t do
2. This time I’ve come to get - something I want to keep
I’ve come to get your love - not just your friendship
Yeah, it’s been long enough - we’re in too deep
Ch. Let’s be lovers - less won’t do
There’s no other - I’d rather have than you
All the chances to take - all the love to make
It’s waiting for us - so let’s be lovers
3. Darling, let’s make a move - let’s run away
I can’t wait anymore - no reason to stay
Let’s dive in good - let’s do it today
Ch. Let’s be lovers - less won’t do
There’s no other - I’d rather have than you
All the chances to take - all the love to make
It’s waiting for us - so let’s be lovers
b. If we wait too long - the chance won’t come again
So join me now - pop out of your den
Ch. Let’s be lovers - less won’t do
There’s no other - I’d rather have than you
All the chances to take - all the love to make
It’s waiting for us - so let’s be lovers - alright!
11. BROKEN PROMISE (© 2017, City)
1. It’s the bread you don’t get in the morning
It’s the smile you won’t try to hide
It’s the songs you won’t play in the evening
It’s the nights you won’t rest by my side
2. It’s the way you won’t be looking at me
It’s the touch of your hand I won’t feel
It’s your voice not telling me I’ll be alright
It’s how all of this won’t be real
Ch. It’s the broken promise – it’s all you couldn’t keep
It’s the broken promise – and for all that I weep
3. It’s the weightlessness that I won’t sense
It’s the burden on my mind
It’s also knowing I may have pushed you too far
And now I’m running out of time
Ch. It’s the broken promise – it’s all you couldn’t keep
It’s the broken promise – and for all that I weep
b. Why did you have – to steal my heart
and remind me – of what I already lost
you showed me heaven – then you put me through hell
you lied with a straight face – now my limits are crossed
but what about you? Uh what about you, cuz I still care
Ch. It’s the broken promise – it’s all you couldn’t keep
It’s the broken promise – and for all that I weep
For all that I weep!
12. WEARING IT FOR YOU (© 2016, 2017, Country)
1. Not used to wearing it - I ain't the man in black
But I put it on when I heard - that you're not coming back
Ch. So here it is - it's as sad as it is true
I'm wearing a black wristband - I'm wearing it for you
2. Not used to hearing it - I ain't familiar with those words
Nor the closing door - nor the open wound that hurts
Ch. So here it is - it's as sad as it is true
I'm wearing a black wristband - I'm wearing it for you
3. Not used to sharing it - I ain't no open page
My marks and scars are inside - they don't take center stage
Ch. So here it is - it's as sad as it is true
I'm wearing a black wristband - I'm wearing it for you
b. It's the end - of life as I know it
But at least - I'm learning to show it
Ch. So here it is - it's as sad as it is true
I'm wearing a black wristband - I'm wearing it for you
I'm wearing a black wristband - I'm wearing it for you!
13. FOUND IN THE RAIN (© 2017, Past)
1. When the music found me, I was not ready - I thought I had - another calling
But those who loved me opened my ears - and the first drop started falling
2. Then the bass found me, must have been meant to be – though I pursued a different game
But then one day I picked it up again - and that was the day that the rain came
Ch. With eyes open, I can look around -
(only) When I close them, I can be found
Behind the rain, the sun is clear
Perhaps a ray will find its way here …
3. Once I lost myself, in ambition - And only with the knowing
That it must be engrained in passion - then the river started flowing
4. When I stop thinking, I start to melt - I burst into rain - and shiver
More a channel than a player - and I can drink from the river
Ch. With eyes open, I can look around -
(only) When I close them, I can be found
Behind the rain, the sun is clear
Perhaps a ray will find its way here …
b. When I stopped pressing on too hard
It was like I touched the face of God
5. No more resistance, no more fight - Only certainty
I learned like rain to let it go - That’s how I found my melody!
That’s how I found - my melody!
