Solid Ground

Story Behind The Song

I wanted the song to sound like benig in a dark tunnel but perceive a light at the end of it. The song is about the difficulties of being a human but also about love and hope.

Song Description

A suggestive, dark, somewhat mysterious and dreamy song. People who listen to use to refere to Phil Collins (In the air tonight) Peter Gabriel and Depeche mode. The sound is contemporary with touch of the 80s. The song develops continuously and in the final vamp all elements that's been used earlier in the song is added one by one to build a crescendo.

Lyrics

You're spinning in your bed
Thoughts spinning in your head
I'm here to set you free
And with the morning rain
The game is on again
I'm here to set you free

The never ending strive
Agony of working life
I'm here to set you free
The prison cell of you
The only point of view
I'm here to set you free

Ref
And I know
The pain is all around
And I know
Your life's a battle ground
I know
I've been there myself it took me down
But I've risen
I'll lift you up on solid ground

Your fear and loneliness
The sense of emptiness
I'm here to set you free
Your scars and broken heart
The quits before you start
I'm here to set you free

And I know
The pain is all around
And I know
Your life's a battle ground
I know
I've been there myself it took me down
But I've risen

And I know (oh-oh-oh)
Well, it's hard to see
You don't know (oh-oh-oh)
How the truth can set you free
'Cause you don't know me
But I know you
And I love you
I'll lift you up on solid ground

Ba-ra barra bada-badam
Ba-ra barra bada-badam
Ba-ra barra bada-badam
Ba-ra solid ground
(Repeat)
