Hey

Guys

This blog will end here - I´m sticking to the one on www.nanuh.se
(the myspace-blog).

Keep checking it for future updates!

Thanks

Prelistening

A few musicians, friends and close ones came across a prelistening session of the Scars album. And all I have gotten is positive reviews and a few jaw drops.

I like the feeling, I am proud of the album and I´m really looking forward to the day that YOU get your hands on this puppy! November 20:th!

Damn deal done

The record is finished, mastered and all of the graphics are done.

The whole kaboodle has been sent to electric.se (whom are doing all of the printing, pressing and...well, the physical deal to get the record in your hands).

In other news:

Nanuh is about to sign a publishing deal and I´m working on some gigs and hopefully a release party.

Love / Nanuh

Time, time, time

Do you have a cup of time?
WELL FUCKING GIVE IT TO ME!

So, the final set list for Scars is done. I´m writing a press release and
...finishing up. Loads of shit. Gaaaaaaaah!

Help?

Deadlines, pressreleases, vocals...

I´M DROWNING!

Twitter

Seriously folks, what the fuck is up with some of the people on Twitter.com?

"Hi there, I would like you to fuck me in all of my holes". WTF?
or
"I´m looking for a man that can take care of me"

AAAH! STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!

I´m always very happy when someone decides to follow me on Twitter but in the last few days a lot of "stalkers" tend to be on the not so musically side.

Blllaaaaaah!

So...a clip from the "Scars" recording perhaps? Enjoy!

Love // Nanuh

Lule

It´s actually kind of funny. I´ve been spending the past few years
being kind of blue, kind of numb and in various states of "I really don´t give a fuck". And it has been good - lyric wise - for Nanuh. And Nanuh has been good for me since I´ve used it like self therapy.

But now - when it was time to finish the last song for "Scars" (a song called "I heart" - working title: "Lule" - that will actually be the first song on "Scars" after the intro "A spoon full of sugar") I wrote the song in like one day or so and when it was time to record vocals...I just couldn´t get that gloomy shit out of me anymore! Haha! I tried:



"So, let´s see...it´s raining outside. What am I feeling. Hmm, I want to kiss my girlfriend. WTF? That´s not very Nanuh. Come on! Hmm, but I really want to kiss her. AAAH! Get a grip! Hmm, rain..pain...the same...game...kiss? Mmm, she smells so good and here eyes...AAAH! COME OOOOOOON!"

So after a few minutes I just went with it and "I heart" is the first Nanuh-song I´ve written with nothing but warmth, happiness and love in my heart!

Ok, I´ve tried to write a happy song for like all of my life but I can´t. And I mean happy as in majord chords, happy melodies etc. I have my roots in death metal and I love bands like At the Gates, Meshuggah,
Scarve and Hatesphere. So I just ...let all of that shit out and go crazy
with the synthesizers. And I can´t stop.

But lyric-wise: Prepare for some happy stuff with depressing music in the future:)
Still, I´ll try to keep it from being to plastic and "I would do aaaanything for looove"-ish.

Love
Nanuh

ps. In contrast to the Lule/I heart-lyrics in my previous post - here are the lyrics
for the last song on the Scars album. A song called Footsteps:

It´s overthought, I´m running dry
No explanations and no reasons why

I haven´t been much of a friend
No concentration and no hand to lend

Before you go I must save a little time
I need to know Into the blue I think I´ll dive
Before you leave I must save a little time
make me believe...

Lies - my footsteps are sinking and I´m of decieving
Kind - the teardrops are flooding my eyes and I don´t know
Why - I run and I hide when I should just go and
Die - instead I kill what I feel so deep inside

Sit down in your favourite chair
Take a deep breath try to - cleanse the air

In forty minutes I´ll be dead
You´ll get that phonecall that we love to dread

Hide - my footsteps are closing and I´m on the run for
Blood - I´m trapped in this body there´s no way to try to
Run - my own reflection disgusts me I should
Die - instead I kill what I feel so deep inside.

Shift colour

So my summer vacation is over for this year.

I´ve been around the block and back again: Eaten alot of strawberries, zipped on a few beers too many, slept alot and fallen madly in love with the greatest woman on the face of the earth!!

...very not Nanuh´ish actually since most of the songs on "Scars" are about the exact opposite (being lost, not eating, not sleeping...and not feeling anything at all).

Reg. Nanuh...I´ve recorded vocals and finished four songs:

"Scars", "A modest shark that fits", the intro "A spoon full of sugar" and a new song called "Lule" - Lule will probably replace the song "These shadows" on the Scars-album but WILl return on the next album!

Oh and since I tried to post some lyrics earlier...well, I might just well continue on that streak of passion:

---

Lule

Verse:

I, have fallen hard for you
And I, want to focus on the new

I, pull down the moon for you
And I´d, walk a thousand miles to get you

Chorus:

Don´t let the colours fade
In to the grey, in to the grave and in to the shallow

Don´t let the colours fade
In to the grey, in to the grave and in to the shallow

Verse 2:

I do want to spend my days with you

My days, with you
Days with you...

Chorus:

Don´t let the colours fade
In to the grey, in to the grave and in to the shallow

Don´t let the colours fade
In to the grey, in to the grave and in to the shallow

---

Damn, every lyric I write looks veeery corny in writing. Well well, sorry about that:) I´ll try to be less skin-deep on the next album.

On the other hand, the song Scars is perhaps a more heavy stone to lift:

Scars

I, never wanted this to end this way
(But) never wanted it to last
I never think of this inside

I don´t know anything about this life
Don´t know anything at all

These allied thoughts, lingers in solitude
I´m covered in scars, don´t try to fill me in
Because I don´t want you

---

Uhm, no. Still shallow:) Hah, well well...back to work and home to the studio.



Deadlines are ment to be...fucked up.

Partypeople

Hey there!

I´m up in the north of Sweden - visiting relatives, drinking swedish vodka and ...sleeping like hell. A well deserved break - eventhough I´m composing a bit on my fathers piano.

In a week I´ll be back in the studio to finish "Scars" - once and for all.

Love / Nanuh

Overworked

Damn, I did know that it was a lot of work to write, produce and record an album all on my own - but I didn´t know that I:

A: Work fast as hell but seldom get to the finishline

B: Always end up trashing songs I like and write new stuff that I pretty much hate after a few days

C: Would actually hate my own voice - eventhough I wouldn´t call me a singer but...gaaaah, could someone shut me up?

Still - most of the work is finished. I´m off for a well deserved vacation and when I get back I´ll record the last bits and pieces and then Joakim (Studio Musikfabrik) and I will mix on sunday the 5:th of july.

...eh, I´ve already started working on album number two. Focus anyone?

Modest shark

Yesterday I was supposed to rewrite a passage on a song called "Strangers passing through". My dear friend and bandmate (in Dynamo 77) was supposed to sing on it - but first, I had to rewrite some passages.

So, after rewriting 50% of the song it struck me that it was too complex, too "out there" and too "not nanuh" - so I trashed it! And started working on a segment for a new song instead. And NOW I got a replacement for "Strangers passing through" called "A modest shark". And I am VERY pleased with the result. Joakim will lay down the vocals this sunday.

Cheers and love // Nanuh

So damn, so darn, so ...fuck it.

Hey, Nanuh is everywhere!

The vocal recordings for "Scars" are going very good.
Only a few songs left, then mix...and then it´s time
to give birth to this giant lump of depression.

I´m already writing music for album number two.

Todays lyrics comes from the song "The day is today" (the very first Nanuh-song actually - written back in the blue days). Corny lyrics anyone?

"Hello my little friend it´s me again
the sun is setting, my walls are breaking in

I´m sitting here alone, I´m thinking of you
can´t get my thoughts of you

The sun is setting...

I´ve never met someone like you before
I´m falling deep into your shifting eyes
I´ve never met someone like you before
Could this lead - on?

Good bye my life for what you used to be
will I make it alone, I don´t know but I want you

I´ve never met someone like you before
Could this lead...on?
I´ve never met someone like you before
No but I want you"
