about

Broken Memories started from an idea I had back in 2016.

As a guitarist, I had been writing music starting mainly from the guitar parts. This time I wanted to start with a drum pattern instead. At around the same time, my wife Brita and I were toying with the idea of making some music together, so I gave her what was initially the bridge section of the song, and told her to come up with whatever she wanted, no rules! I ended up loving her vocals, so much that her part turned into a completely new part of the song. In the end, the track has a bit of a progressive feel, with "my" part going for an angsty vibe, Brita's part being more dreamy and melodic, and a more ethereal instrumental coda. I love this song and hope you do too!

lyrics

Every day I fall apart.
I can’t even talk.
I don’t wanna know.

I don’t feel right, but I won’t back down, and it won’t be easy.

I fall and fall, but I come back for more.
I close my eyes and never let it go.

I don’t care if we lose it all.
‘cause after we’re gone, we’ll fade in the dirt.

I don’t feel right, but I won’t back down, and it won’t be easy.

I fall and fall, but I come back for more.
I close my eyes and never let it go.

I dream again and fall into your arms
The never-ending cycle of our doom
I keep a broken memory at my window
To help me travel back to me and you.
