about

This song was written while busking at St. Enoch Square in Glasgow.
One day I saw a person who was walking towards me with quite a sad face, as she heard the music I saw that she smiled back at me.
When you perform music in the streets, you experience quite a lot in a day. From all of the beautiful kids who waves and smile at you, to those who always seem to be on a mission somewhere, they don’t have the time to listen to music and they act as if they don’t see you. Sometimes I sell a cd or a vinyl, sometimes someone throws in a penny in the case and many of the days you can play for hours without even getting any response. However playing music is the main purpose of doing it and something good usually comes out of it, ''The best things come when you least expect it''.

lyrics

I saw you on the square that night, you were walking under troubled skies.
You had that sad look in your eyes, You were reaching out to find some light.
I sang a song of love & smile, You were looking in my eyes to find,
a sign of life to dream a while, you were smiling back ONE OF A KIND

Hold on now
There’s a light in your soul, you will find it
oh darling, hold on now
You were smiling back one of a kind
Hold your ground
I will carry you through the dark hour
through the troubled skies
You were smiling back one of a kind

You act as if I don’t exist, as if I’m not doing anything
Rejected by society, as if I’m not worthy to be free.
Forgotten by one another, We are busy doing other things.
Ignoring us won’t do no harm, We are searching for some peace of mind

But there is a light somewhere...

A melody, a name on a road sign.. Some lyrics, this is what visited Axel Olsson in a dream, it was to become the opening song entitled 'Jaded Jane' on their debut album 'Diversity' ... more
