FREEDOM
Music: Rebecca Laakso/Daniel Lantz
Lyrics: Rebecca Laakso
I think I’m flying, can’t feel the ground,
man, I’m not lying, can’t find no words, no no
I start to shimmer, gleam and shine
I bet this feeling always will be mine
and when I wake up in the morning
I get down on my knees, so happy I’m not dreaming
My legs are moving side to side
I cannot help it, I’m flying high,
got good things around me and on my mind
I got my style and I got my pride
I heard you wonder why I walk around and smile,
well, guess what, I'm gonna tell you now
I’m a free woman
a free woman, baby
I’m gonna live in sunshine now
ain’t nobody gonna bring me down
Free woman, baby
I said love will open every door,
and when you got it then you just want more Freedom
I had some company I shouldn’t have
but they're long gone now, it’s in the past
made the wrong decisions, now I’ll make it right I believe and I can breath, surrounded by light I used to wonder, now I know, and I’m stronger than I've ever been before
I’m a free woman
a free woman, baby
I’m gonna live in sunshine now
ain’t nobody gonna bring me down
Free woman, baby
I said love will open every door,
and when you got it then you just want more Freedom
Do you like your freedom?
Yo sayin’ yeah yeah yeah
Do you like your freedom?
Yo sayin’ yeah yeah yeah
Do you like your freedom?
Yo sayin’ yeah yeah yeah
Movin’ on, movin’ on, freedom!
I’m a free woman
a free woman, baby
I’m gonna live in sunshine now
ain’t nobody gonna bring me down
Free woman, baby
I said love will open every door,
and when you got it then you just want more
Freedom

TOUCHING MY SOUL
Music: Rebecca Laakso/Daniel Lantz
Lyrics: Rebecca Laakso
I’m not about to lose now, I won’t lose now
baby, I’m about to call
I’m all about to win, you don’t know how it’s been
Imma get it, wanna have it all
It’s clear in my mind what I want this time,
I don’t need a man, got to understand
I’ve been lying to y’all
Sometimes I wish I didn’t know
where life would take me and where I’d go
but it’s written down, I can see that now
La la la la la la la la
You touching my soul now
La la la la la la la la
with your fingers so cold now
La la la la la la la la
You touching my soul now
La la la la la la la la
with your fingers so cold now
It’s hard for you to say no, just say no
you walking around and asking me why
well, everything is changing and I’m changing
and I found the one so now boy you can go
Why you hating, why you hating on me?
Why you hating, why you hating on me?
Why you hating, why you hating on me?
Why you hating, why you hating on me?

FANTASTIC
Music & Lyrics: Daniel Lantz
Here's a man who's on the ball,
been there, done that, seen it all
He opens up and shares but it's so…
Sells the life of thousand dreams
to fire up your self-esteem
The story sure is nice but it's so…
Amazing, fantastic, gotta getcha enthusiastic
Exciting, so drastic, maybe just a little too fantastic
A smile to make your ego cheer,
he cares for things we want to hear
Speaks of peace on earth but it's so…
Laughs and chimes in with the times,
a trite routine and so he pines
for sympathetic gestures but it's so…
Amazing, fantastic, gotta getcha enthusiastic
Exciting, so drastic, maybe just a little too fantastic
Dishes out the make-believe,
old recipe from up his sleeve
Keeps the cover up but it's so…
Loves his modern fairytale,
a thrill for those he knows so well
His system isn't perfect but it's so…
Amazing, fantastic, gotta getcha so enthusiastic
Exciting, so drastic, maybe just a little too fantastic
A champion to procrastinate,
goes up in smoke that desperate day
No push and no shove, well it's so…
Tries the truth but makes it sweet,
Pulls his stunt to make ends meet
Paints it by the numbers but it's so…
Amazing, fantastic, gotta getcha so enthusiastic
Exciting, so drastic, maybe just a little too fantastic
Back in from that rainbow's end,
a damage only time can mend
The dust has left our eyes and it's so…

WHAT YA DOIN' (feat. Papa Dee)
Music: Rebecca Laakso/Daniel Lantz
Lyrics: Rebecca Laakso
I’ve been unfocused, lately it’s been about you all the time
And I haven’t noticed that my body’s getting wetty when it’s hittin’ my mind
I can’t control it, thoughts of you was interrupt my entirely life
I cannot wait until we meet again skin to skin tonight
When we oh get down for real
I’ve been waiting for so long so why should we hold on
I know how you feel, I want you to get in my zone
‘Hey Hey’
Gimme de ting, just gimme de ting, what a feelin'
(Thoughts of you was interrupt my entirely life)
Oh yeah, baby what you doin’ to me?
‘Hey Hey’
What ya doin', what ya doin', what ya doin' to me
(Thoughts of you was interrupt my entirely life)
Oh yeah, baby what you doin’ to me?
You know I’m on it, I come whenever when you want me to be, there I want it so bad so bad, mmm oh I need it
I know exactly how I want it to be, nobody else, just you and me and I’m tired of waiting and I believe
that you feel the same, go set me free
And I be like…
until we meet the next time
Skin to skin, what a feelin'
reach for the ceilin'
for the true meaning
Boy, lately it’s been about you all the time
And I haven’t noticed
that my body’s getting wetty when it’s hitting my mind
I can’t control it, thoughts of you interrupt my entire life
I cannot wait
until we meet again skin to skin tonight
When we oh get down for real
I’ve been waiting for so long so why should we hold on
I know how you feel, I want you to get in my zone
‘Hey Hey’
(Thoughts of you was interrupt my entirely life)
Oh yeah, baby what you doin’ to me?
‘Hey Hey’
(Thoughts of you was interrupt my entirely life)
Oh yeah, baby what you doin’ to me?

STAY
Music: Rebecca Laakso/Daniel Lantz
Lyrics: Rebecca Laakso
I can’t resist you no more
don’t know why I’m feeling so low
and I got my eyes open
don’t know what she’s doing
guess that’s why I suffer so
I want you to stay in my life
you would be my man and I’ll be your wife
I know you can feel me, hear me and see me
cause I left on you my both eyes
I know you can feel me everyday you’re not with me
and knowing that we are young that makes me feel alright cause you haven’t grown up being with that girl that you hooked up with
as long as time goes by we can live and love again
You are the love of my life
and I know you love me so much
I don’t want no trouble just hold me and I’ll be alright
and I’ll be alright

WHY DON'T YOU MISS ME?
Music: Daniel Lantz
Lyrics: Daniel Lantz/Rebecca Laakso
You say you love me you say that you do
but I don’t know if I trust you
And I was so sure when you said that before but now
it’s like I don’t know you
Time is flying by
and I wonder every night
what I'm supposed to do
I give you everything you want and more but I
get none in return
You don’t seem to care when I try to be there for you boy
I'm getting concerned
Don't wanna play this game
Will I ever find a way
to get what I deserve?
I wanna have your love
But you're not givin' it to me
Baby I just wouldn't see
Why you never wanted me
I give you all my love
and I try to make you feel
But you wanted to be free
This was never meant to be
So what's the thing here, we ain't goin' nowhere when I
try to reach you
Just want you close, don't want you to go, no, tell me why
is that an issue?
Time is flying by
and I wonder every night
what I'm supposed to do
You keep on telling me I should not worry and things
will get better
And I know, I know, yeah, I heard that before, it was good
before you met her
Don't wanna play this game
Will I ever find a way
to get what I deserve?
I wanna have your love
But you're not givin' it to me
Baby I just wouldn't see
Why you never wanted me
I give you all my love
and I try to make you feel
Now you wanted to be free
This was never meant to be
Baby I just wouldn't see
Why you never wanted me
I try my best to love you
(So why don't you miss me, baby?)
I say the words that please you
(So why don't you miss me, baby?)
I hold your hands and kiss you
(So why don't you miss me, baby?)
I give you things you wish for
(So why don't you miss me, baby?)
I feel my love grows stronger
(So why don't you miss me, baby?)
Well you're not there any longer
(So why don't you miss me, baby?)
I shine each time you see me
(So why don't you miss me, baby?)
I cry when you don't love me
(So why don't you miss me, baby?)

CRAZY WITH LOVE
Music: Daniel Lantz
Lyrics: Daniel Lantz/Rebecca Laakso
I used to feel so lost way back in the day
but since I met you all my troubles seem far away
no one told me love was blind
Funny how you make me feel on top of the world,
when you gimme the looks but never say the words
But I can read your mind
I don't know just what it is
Or why you make me feel like this
I got my own analysis
I'm in love with you, now I know you love me
Feeling the summer
slowly burning away
Could you be closer
so we can be together baby
You're the one who's driving me crazy with love
With you I don't ever have to put on a show
and I don’t need no make up or fancy clothes
and it gets me every time
I love every part of your body and face
you’re so fine, boy, I will never replace you
just wanna say you’re mine
I don't know just what it is
Or why you make me feel like this
I got my own analysis
I'm in love with you, now I know you love me
Feeling the summer
slowly burning away
Could you be closer
so we can be together baby
You're the one who's driving me crazy with love
Wishing the summer
was over and gone in a day
cos there'll be no summer
if I'm still here without you baby
You're the one who's driving me crazy with love

CAN'T GET NOTHING FROM YOU
Music: Rebecca Laakso/Daniel Lantz
Lyrics: Rebecca Laakso
Baby, you never told me you were sorry
couldn’t do nothing for me
you never told me I was pretty
And baby, you know how really bad I want ya
but I can do nothing for ya
and I don’t have much money
If I’m not good enough, don’t waste your time,
go and get your stuff and stop with those things that you do and what you say to me
You don’t know what I got, see I want to grow and learn stuff and with your head high I can’t get anything from you
I can’t get nothing from you, get nothing from you
You can’t get much more from me, get much more from me
I can’t get nothing from you, get nothing from you
You can’t get much more from me, get much more from me
Baby, ever since I let you own it
I never felt so lonely
got to find a place to be
And baby, don’t act like you don’t know it
I don’t want to be lonely
so I’m saying goodbye
I’m leaving today
I’m leaving today
I’m leaving today
I’m leaving, I’m leaving today

THE RIDDLE
Music & Lyrics: Nik Kershaw
I got two strong arms
Blessings of Babylon
Time to carry on and try
For sins and false alarms
So to America the brave
Wise men save
I got plans for us
Nights in the scullery
And days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
Oh, for anything but light
Wise men fighting over you
It's not me you see
Pieces of Valentine
And just this song of mine
To keep from burning history
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Wise men fold
I got time to kill
Sly looks in corridors
Without a plan of yours
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
Thanks to the calling of the wild
Wise men's child
Near a tree by a river there's a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon in the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion there's a wrong and a right
But he'll never, never fight over you

TROUBLE TRAIN
Music: Rebecca Laakso/Daniel Lantz
Lyrics: Rebecca Laakso/Nils Jansson
I messed it up, I’m on a trouble train
I’m packin’ up, back on the same road again
Same dirt, pain and shame tight in my hand
Tryin’ to clean it up, but it seems to remain
and because it’s easier when you got God to blame
Nailed by myself and I can’t find myself kind
always an empty gap in my mind
and I don’t seem to care about anything but me for some reason
And always in the end in this pathetic war
between myself and I am lying flat on the floor
and in the end someone has to build me up again for some reason
Tired of mundane and sick of demands
Trouble train's at the station - got my ticket in hand
Delusions of grandeur's how I'm kickin' it man,
actin' like my next track will be big in Japan
Meanwhile enough bills are pilin' up for me to dive in 'em who knows one day it might erupt but I don't give the slightest fuck
I'll ride the trouble train 'til that train is wrecked,
less "fake it 'til you make it" - more "fake it 'til you break your neck"
You and I we got a great history
so come a little closer and listen to me
you think I’m wild but that’s not how it is
I just need love so now come back to me
Not even close to fortune and fame
and my smile is so far away
He took my heart and my soul, all that I had
So I light up, don’t care about this game
don’t give a fuck if I lose my name
If I’m not a winner then I’m gonna sit down, be mad and be quiet
I don’t know about you but I think you’re insane
and I don’t think it’s pretty how you mess with my brain
your stupid little lover does exactly what you say, poor child
And then in the end when I’m done talking
you always scream and yell at me and start walking
away cause you’re not afraid
cause I’m the slave and you’re OK up there
Not really mad at you - just got a rather rude attitude in general and I'm all animal - wanna battle dude?
Posin' as a man of huge stature too, that'll do,
better be lookin' out when I'm passin' through,
casual people just annoy me so I spit in their faces,
keep flippin' 'em off on a regular basis
In the end this approach will undoubtedly fail,
trouble train's on the track and about to derail
You and I we got a great history
so come a little closer and listen to me
you think I’m wild but that’s not how it is
I just need love so now come back to me
I messed it up, I’m on a trouble train
I’m packin’ up, back on the same road again
Same dirt, pain and shame tight in my hand
Tryin’ to clean it up, but it seems to remain
and because it’s easier when you got God to blame
Nailed by myself and I can’t find myself kind
always an empty gap in my mind
and I don’t seem to care about anything but me for some reason
And always in the end in this pathetic war
between myself and I am lying flat on the floor
and in the end someone has to build me up again for some reason
Tryin to get off
Time to pull the brakes, cos I'd rather get off
I just need love

BY THE RIVER
Music & Lyrics: Daniel Lantz
Mean old man
Sister love
Mary and Eve mustn't tell
All those years
That mean old man
Turned every day into hell
Steely eyes
A beast of man
Went over and over again
Sisters played
The waiting game
As only dreamers can
How a twosome keeps growing older
With the hatred brewing inside
And a moon to drive men crazy
Made the lasses stand up and fight
Mary and Eve did him with their daggers
By the river in the black of night
Can you believe 'tis the stuff of legend by the river
Mary and Eve did him with their daggers
By the river in the black of night
Can you believe 'tis the stuff of legend by the river
Old man down
Sister love
Mary and Eve wouldn't tell
Innocent
Blue green eyes
Their story no one couldn't sell
How a twosome keeps growing older
With the hatred brewing inside
And a moon to drive men crazy
Made the lasses stand up and fight
By the river, by the river, by the river

JUST WANNA LIVE
Music: Rebecca Laakso/Daniel Lantz
Lyrics: Rebecca Laakso
You know that you came to me,
you know that I set you free, boy
Every time I think about us I always cry silently cause
I gave you all of me, thought I gave you everything you needed
And now I'm crashed down, down to the ground
so now you listen carefully
You said I messed it up but I was not the one who did it
I was on the top but you hurt me so bad and now, now
now I can't get up, can't get up, can't get up
I just wanna live my life
I just wanna live my life
I just wanna live my life
I just wanna, just wanna, just wanna
just wanna
Believe me when I tell you, I really loved you, boy
You made me feel so happy, you gave me love and joy
You taught me everything about love and about pain
You had my heart, we'd never be apart
You told me that you felt the same
You said I messed it up but I was not the one who did it
I was on the top but you hurt me so bad and now, now
now I can't get up, can't get up, can't get up
I just wanna live my life without you
It's my life and you don't have to be around
I just wanna live my life without you
It's my life and you don't have to be around
if I don't want to
