I want the truth I want the whole you I want what’s real No pretending Hiding behind closed doors Oh, the ugly truth The lonely, raw and bitter truth Yet so beautiful In its release Say it out loud Tell me what’s on your mind Say it out loud Tell me what’s on your mind I want the truth I want the whole you I want the truth I want to hold you

The black dog Is waiting around the corner I won’t come ‘til he’s gone I won’t come ‘til he’s gone The black dog Is waiting around the corner I won’t come ‘til he’s gone I won’t come ‘til he’s gone I’m all regrets I’m all regrets I’m all regrets I’m all regrets A clown is hiding in my closet I can hear him laughing now I can’t stand the sound of despise But I’m too scared to walk out The children are playing in the garden But I can’t see a friendly face The black dog is guarding them I’m locked up in my own disgrace Regrets I’m all regrets I’m all regrets Well, the judge came chasing me downstairs The judge came chasing me down The judge came chasing me down

The hardest thing of all Forgiveness What does it even mean To forgive? Is it a feeling? But how does it feel? Does it come from without or within? Where does it begin? Oh, the hardest thing of all Oh, the hardest thing of all And why should I Even consider torturer Forgive my torturer To forgive you Oh, the one who made me bleed The one who made me feel This wound still The one who built my prison From where I can’t escape Oh, the hardest thing of all Oh, the hardest thing of all Oh, the hardest thing of all Something tells me it’s time to let go Something tells me it’s time to let go Something tells me it’s time to let go Not to let it torture me no more To stop demanding revenge To let go of what was then To stop waiting for a better yesterday To stop hoping for them to say I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry

Dancer 05:26
I’m a dancer I am fire I’m a high tree Growing higher I am water Yes, I’m the rain I’m your daughter Waiting in vain It will come to you ‘cause it’s made for you It will all come true You know you’re a dancer too x2 I’m a mother That gives birth I’m an eagle I’m the earth I’m the love That heals all I am peace I conquer war I am life And I am death I am heartbeat And I’m breath I am pleasure And I am pain I’m an answer Just ask again It will come to you ‘cause it’s made for you It will all come true You know you’re a dancer too x2 You know you’re a dancer too You know you’re a dancer too You know you’re a dancer too You know you’re a dancer too

Love & Light 04:49
Lines and shapes of fading grey Clouds were here, got in the way I felt the sun behind the clouds A fire burning, warm and bright It was dark Though I needed light Just got stuck Inside a cloud Walls were closing in Black eyes A hand around my neck No smile Water filled my lungs Sharp lines Skipped two heartbeats while I Drifted off Faded away Just got lost Couldn’t stay But then I rose Without a fight Just let go Of what is old All there’s left Is love and light No lines no shapes Just loving light In a place where there Is no time All there’s left is love and light Love and light Love and light Love and light Love and light Love and light Love and light Love and light Love and light

about

Malin Wättring has been working as a professional saxophonist & composer on the modern jazz scene for the past 10 years. She has released 3 albums with her own music, worked with some of Sweden's finest jazz & improvisational musicians and she has won several awards for her artistic work.

This is Malin Wättring's debut album as a singer & guitar player! The music can be described as indie rock with strong singer songwriter roots, colored by grunge, jazz and improvisational music. Intimacy and raw power in symbiosis! She has put together a brand new band for the project, consisting of several up & coming musicians such as Olimpia Dynarek - piano (Olimpias Orkan), Maria Dahlin - drums (Fartyg 6) & Johanna Ekholm - bass (Trio Ramberget).

The lyrics are deeply personal but at the same time universal and deal with topics such as forgiveness, the search for truth and authenticity and the dilemma of both wanting to have and letting go of control in life. The album was recorded at Elementstudion in Gothenburg between November 2020 and February 2021. It will be released on vinyl on the feminist record company PACAYA records.
