Well it started out, down a shiny road Started out, curbed, undisturbed I can tell you boy I was happy in this world When the storm broke lose, I lost the youth And my heart was, blocked from truth Never learned to fly Now I’m losing the sight Ain’t it hard? Being alive Being pushed around In 2019 Give me sunshine I’ve been hit too hard, seen the dust Nothing can heal me now, but your touch Lost in paradise Need a better advice My body’s saying, it’s time again And I can die when I’m done my friend No map can show me The way to your heart Ain’t it hard? Being alive Being pushed around In 2019 Give me sunshine The sun will rise again The sun will rise again Ain’t it hard? Being alive Being pushed around In 2019 Give me sunshine

Escape 04:09

No, I don’t want a battle, from beginning to the end No, I don’t want a stunted soul, waiting to be spent I don’t wanna follow you, with all of my time I don’t wanna follow you, with all of your lies And in the night, we go away And we dream of our escape Lifting the mask from the boulevard Seeing diamonds in the rain Finding the light in the local yard Buying flowers all in vain Floating upstream into our escape No, I don’t want a struggle, from beginning to the end No, I don’t want a bunch of recycled friends I don’t wanna follow you, with all of my time I don’t wanna follow you, with all of your lies And in the night, we go away And we dream of our escape Lifting the mask from the boulevard Seeing diamonds in the rain Finding the light in the local yard Buying flowers all in vain Floating upstream into our escape Escape, escape Escape, escape And in the night, we go away And we dream of our escape Lifting the mask from the boulevard Seeing diamonds in the rain Finding the light in the local yard Buying flowers all in vain Floating upstream into our escape

Suddenly, I’m feeling right On this starlit summer night My girl on the beach Heaven’s in reach She sets me free Suddenly, I’m losing sight Captured by the morning light My girl on the beach I’m lost at sea She’s saving me If only we lived when we were young If only we lived when we were young Suddenly, my pain is gone In my room I hear a song My girl on the beach Salty and sweet Coming to me Suddenly, I’m in a dome By her touch I’m coming home My girl on the beach Shipwrecked at sea She rescues me If only we lived when we were young If only we lived when we were young

I’m going to a place I’ve never been I’m taking a new way today I’m guided by your body and your face I’m guided by your love I’m going to a place called emptiness I’m going to a place called love It’s been a while, since I saw you So please, be patient with me A place called love A place called love Take me home, to your secret place Take me wherever you want I’m guided by your wisdom and your grace I’m guided by your love Take me away from this loneliness Take me up to the sky It’s been a while, since I saw you It’s time, for the book of love A place called love A place called love

Into Your Heart 04:16

And now I give it back to you But it’s hard, to catch it and let it go I thought I could be in your arms But you know, you were not strong enough It’s summer now Seeking you Never found, peace in time You are stored in my mind It’s summer now Seeking you Moving up, don’t know how Nothing can bring you back I can still see your reflection In the air, in the northern light The cold is still there to be found Among those, afraid to lose their ground No money, pleasures or religion No honey, no one could save me but you It’s summer now Seeking you Never found, peace in time You are stored in my mind It’s summer now Seeking you Moving up, don’t know how Nothing can bring you back I can still see your reflection In the air, in the northern light Into your heart Into your heart Into your heart and soul Into your heart Into your heart Into your heart and soul I can still see your reflection In the air, in the northern light

about

Just as Rydhog’s first release, including the radio spinned song “Fun, Fun, Fun”, this EP has been recorded in the legendary Tambourine Studios together with the producer Måns Wikenmo.

Rydhog makes melodious pop and his songs have been inspired by, among others, Nick Drake, The Beach Boys and Bon Iver.
The first single is called “Give Me Sunshine” and was released April 22. Together with the track, Rydhog released a lo-fi music video recorded in his hometown Malmö.
The focus track, titled “Into Your Heart” has been co-written with Olof Gråhamn, who has also filmed the music video. In the same song Moa McAllister (Peach Baby) contributes with vocals and Ellen Pettersson (Hey Elbow) plays the trumpet.

“After five inspiring months in India a productive period of songwriting began for me back home in Malmö. The new songs were built in the style of my previous release, but with a more refined and varied sound. The process to create this EP has been an emotional awakening and
also a summary of this challenging decade, where I have been looking for my “grown-up” voice.”
