If I was to expire on a day like this
Then pay no heed at all
Returned again, my secret fire
From confusion trails
To death's own roll call
And you know that I don't know what to do
But I could wait a thousand years or more
Settled in to the point where I...
Don't know what the hell I'm waiting for
It's my time to be waiting
Locked down, chained in the hole
But when my waiting is done
I'm gonna give it a whirl
Again, try to rewire
The connections of your tired machine
Well, you know you've been a liar
A good for nothing two-faced go-between
It's my time to be waiting
Locked down, chained in the hole
But when my waiting is done
I'm gonna give it a whirl

VOICE FIRST-! Then you can quibble about style and song choice.

I haven't heard a better male voice doing raw male emotions in a long-long time. Only wish we coul get his work here in USA  for better prices.., hard to justify buying multiple copies to give as gifts, just now.


 
If you like this (song) you might want to search out some Jackie Leven, of whom this strongly reminds me.

Even just his voice is enough. But he has the power of the lyrics, the rhytm.. everything as well.

I like Madrugada in small/medium doses, but this comment just killed me and bears repeating.

Much as I hate to agree, I do.  I think this is dreadful.

The guitar partially redeems this song, but I would rather hear the real Neil.

Yeah -- the deep riffing that resolves the chord. Agreed -- like that too.

Hilarious.  

Gloom?  This is positively high energy and sunny.

I was wondering where that neon green tinge to the leaves was coming from.

The noisy distorted guitar work counters his voice really well on this.

I like this.
and I thought this is dave wyndorf's new side project...

exact same voice, but usually sorrounded by a lot more RnR

Sivert Hoyem. Thanks again for this peace of Music!
Madrugada in the Morning, Madrugada at Midday, Madrugada in the Evening, Madrugada at Night.
As long as this voice stays. As long as we remember Burås.

You splitt up on my Birthday. You released your new Album on my Birthday. All good. Thanks.

I think he quit after one day and only learned how to play overly dramatic heavy handed songs on the first day.

Sivert, that's "if I were to expire". Otherwise another good song from you, though I prefer the ones where your voice is near-subsonic and scary.

That was a message from the Society for the Preservation of the Subjunctive in English. We now return you to your usual sucks/blows/rocks comments :o)
  
Would that I could get scrod as they say in the pluperfect subjunctive.
