Alone (Without You)

from Adventure by Magnus Pålsson

about

First appeared on Josh Whelchel's (www.jwmusic.org) "Songs for the cure" anti-cancer drive (www.cancerdrive.org).

I'll share with you this thing I wrote to someone to accompany it... Names and facts have been left out or altered to protect the innocent:

"Just letting you know these years have been a splendid, not in small part thanks to you. I've grown so much and become a better person from what I can only call ripples on the surface of our union. Now, we're soon enough at a point where it's ten years later. Boy does time fly by fast!

I don't write letters. I never saw the point, for some reason. It's never fun when it's just polite "social niceties" stuff going back and forth. But this one I have no problems writing, for I know just what to write. And that is nothing in particular, but I think I'll get my message across anyway.

I'm very grateful that our paths crossed. Maybe it was the wine talking, but the last hug we shared in Paris was a hug I can still remember how it felt. A joyous celebration of all that we accomplished and a true heartfelt goodbye with a little "sad to see you go" kind of vibe. Hence this song you're listening to.

Moments like that can define my life. I can draw inspiration from them like an animal draws water from a pond. They don't come alive every day, but when I sit by my computer thinking of what to write in a letter to you, this is one of the smallest, yet most beautiful of things that calls upon me to be relived, if only in my mind."

There is also lyrics for the song. They are not related to the above text, and are never sung, but can be "thought" to the track. I call it "thought lyrics", for lack of a better wording. You can imagine the song being sung by your favorite artist, or hum along yourself.

lyrics

So finally the transition
is getting you
Wish that there was just something
more I could do

To stop the time and the water
it's running out
take my tears cross the border
leaving the doubt

there's happiness on the horizon
just none right now
I got this hole inside my heart
without you

(without you)

the darkest turn of existence
we all will go
I would want more persistence
it's not a show

I think of spring and the clover
your lucky charm
didn't help you, it's over
did it do harm?

we kill ourselves getting an answer
while for this life
we must carry on alone
without you

(without you)

(and I must carry on... a-lone)

go have a good time together
life goes fast
make this world little better
if you can last

I see the light in the distance
(maybe)
if we act now this instance
maybe we'll find... the cure

(alone now.... alone now.... alone now.... alone now....)

Magnus Pålsson Sweden

I've been into games since I first laid my hands on some Game&Watch handhelds from Nintendo.
It then continued with C-64, Amiga 500, Amiga 1200, and later on PC.
I love the music those machines had. The gaming music. The OLDSCHOOL gaming music!
