REVIEWS

Gunnar is one of the most singular compositional voices I know.

Alzheimer's runs in my family...

my grandmother suffered from it severely. I was scared by her/it, and I regret not having involved myself more with her in those difficult years. This song is an expression of what it looked like to me at one point, when the disease still in the early stages.

 

Late At Night

realaudio mp3

Late at night the dog's asleep
His master's voice is just a snore
The ivy creeps to the open window
The hall light shines underneath the door
 
Get out my cane, put on my hat
That closet needs cleaning, it always will
Walk in the moonlight, don't wake the others
All of the houses are dark and still
 
Old age, old age, I'm such a bother
No one listens to a word I say
Asleep all day, awake all night
Fragile bones, thin blood, always in the way
 
Wake up the neighbors with my old goat voice
Lie on the grass, wet with dew
Stare at the stoplight blinking red
The grandkids are dreaming of you
