Okay, so I recorded acoustic album 'cause I don't really have equipment for proper one! You can find introduction text, lyric booklet and some info about every song here: http://koti.mbnet.fi/pro-saba/Pieces%20 ... t/Booklet/
I only ask you to listen with good headphones, haha. I'm bad at recording. Also huge thanks for Janet for making the most amazing album cover I have ever seen.

I'll give it a listen for sure! But it may have to wait until after my trip because I'm stuck cleaning and packing for the next 3 days.

These songs are awesome! I'm only half-way through the third track right now, but I'm really liking it so far! How long did it take you to write these songs?

Haha thanks a lot. There's some info in read me -file but basically I started recording EP, including really old songs from 2-3 years ago. But during recording process/demoing I wrote World of Hurt, Hope Against Hope, Sky High, Ketchup And Blood & Pieces of Heart. All those songs just came really fast and I got them down in 5-10 minutes. The basic idea of the songs I mean. When I recorded them I improvised a lot. Word of Hurts harmonica part was first take, without any practicing. It just came out. That small guitar "solo" part in Hope Against Hope was improvised too. I improvised three solos and picked that one. Etc etc.

So they're like 1-2 months old. But I did have some parts lying around that I used in them, for example folk part in Ketchup And Blood is couple years old. Fading Star is new in the sense that I combined three songs together. Too Soon, Wrong Dimension, Dark Blue, Say Hey & Outro are 1-3 years old. Too Soon and Wrong Dimension were pain in the ass. I spent ~2 years writing them.

But the thing is; I don't write that many acoustic songs. I usually write rock songs so it was weird that suddenly I started coming up with new songs. But for example Wrong Dimension was rock song at first, I just made acoustic arrangement for this album. The original instrumental is there on my soundcloud page.

Thank you so much for listening the whole thing :) Musically #10 Pieces of Heart is my favorite too, but it was way too hard vocal wise, so they kinda bring it down a bit.

Cover is indeed unbelievable. I honestly think it's the best album cover I've seen. Can't thank J enough.

You're quite welcome! It was my first album cover to make and I was a bit scared at first. : D

And this album is pretty damn good.

I really love the piano on Fading Stars, did you ever send your music a record label? I'm sure they'll love your music!

Guys, give me some negative criticism! I waited something like "your singing sucks" or something, goddammit. I hate singing.

Haha, like I said earlier I think I write a lot better rock songs and to be honest I'm not that confident about any of these songs. But I'm not really interested in music business at all. It's great hobby and way to let pressure out. That's it for me.

For me music is just way to gather my thoughts and as you can see my lyrics are pretty generic and not that good. I don't really think any line twice, I just write everything instantly down in couple minutes.
