2.	Paris 03:12	lyrics	buy track
There was a moment In time But we let it slip by (Bye bye) So when it rains While you wait for the bus Make the minutes pass Daydream of us Live inside these tiny drops How it had been to love Coffee on the balcony Covered in satin sheets You all over me Are you over me? We’ll always have Paris Our what if Our could have been That’s how it’ll be No love for you and me Only fantasy I’ve seen you on the internet I’ve seen who you met I’m not bitter Found myself someone better Than the idea of you Hand inside my pocket-walk Kiss between each sentence-talk I reserved it for you too long Now that moment’s gone We’ll always have Paris Our what if Our could have been That’s how it’ll be No love for you and me Only fantasy
3.	To The Top 03:52	lyrics	buy track
It is all a mystery to me I was blind baby now I see I was lost but now Im found I was deaf now Im hearing sound Like a child I cant pretend Its just like being born again The world seems brand new to me Its all because of you that I believe and I can see the sky, its Clear and blue above the clouds Not a worry Feels like I am flying You’re the one who Lifts me up To the top All my worries seem to disappear Just as long as you are here There’s no other place I’d rather be When I feel you next to me You got me in the palm of your hand I just want to be your man In your loaded rocket to the sky Even in your pocket Im so high and I can see the sky, its Clear and blue above the clouds Not a worry Feels like I am flying You’re the one who Lifts me up To the top Im so high now I cant come down Drug’ed on your love Im off the ground All your fruits, girl They taste so sweet Turns me on like A dog in heat
4.	You Are Amazing 03:29 video	lyrics	buy track
Let me take another look at you Could what Im seeing really be the truth Its kinda hard to believe my eyes I wanna tell you that you’re beautiful And everybody seem to feel the same Cause they smile when I say your name Im hypnotized by your energy You motivate and inspire me You You are amazing Got me chasing After butterflies Rainbows in the skies You’re amazing Everything you’re saying Should be in a book Let me take another look at you You Its funny how you dont know what you do The way that everybody looks to you How they hang on every word you say You always seem to make a way And Im so proud of everything you’ve done Girl I know that you’re the only one The only one that makes me feel brand new Im in love with everything you do You You are amazing Got me chasing After butterflies Rainbows in the skies You’re amazing Everything you’re saying Should be in a book Let me take another look at you You
5.	Too Much To Mention 03:57 video	lyrics	buy track
I miss that California sunshine The sway of the palmtrees I miss that cool summerbreeze Sound of the waves in the sea Just a little glass of red wine To sit and look up at the sky I want to push pause on this time Push all my worries to the side But everywhere I turn There’s always some fire that burns Always something screaming for attention Too much to mention I don’t have more to give I need a break so I can live I miss the time when we were younger The innocence of being a child With not a care in the world Come home when they turn on the streetlights But time is only moving forward It gets harder the more we know - oh And one thing is for certain There’s only so much we can control But everywhere I turn There’s always some fire that burns Always something screaming for attention Too much to mention I don’t have more to give I need a break so I can live
6.	Inside Out 03:18	lyrics	buy track
Right there at the edge of something I know that its kinda frightning And you’re still afraid of letting go First step is always the hardest But you have to get it started So you close your eyes and walk it out I know that There’s no guarantee No parchute for me or you All we can do is just believe You cant live your life If you dont decide which way Which you’re gonna go Inside out - Outside in Show me what you’re working with You for me - Me for you I wont let you down Inside out - Outside in Show me what you’re working with You can put your trust in me I wont let you down Long as we just keep on trying Lean into what we’re applying I dont see no way that we can lose No matter how much we have There’s always more that we can give Walk a mile in somebody else’s shoes
7.	Turn Down The Noise 03:16	lyrics	buy track
This digital life Alternative news And no one believes An easy divide This shouting on both sides Impossible to hear This deafening fake fact Puts us all on the back foot Turn down the noise Eye opener, game changer Turn down the noise I cant hear what you’re saying Just love love love love one another Love love love love one another Get into the room So stop with your phone Giving over your value For no one to follow This hate is on both sides Its easy to feed This fear that has fed you Is coming right back to bite Turn down the noise Eye opener, game changer Turn down the noise I cant hear what you’re saying Just love love love love one another Love love love love one another Fixed in the way you thought it should be So the world threw you sideways Tied to a thing you want to believe Bend so this wont break you
8.	Love Is The Cure 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Once I put it down it never goes away So I wanna make sure I got sumn to say There’s so many things, of which I am not sure One thing I know, is that love is the cure Love is the cure Love is the cure One thing I know for sure Is that love is the cure Everything changes Nothing ever stays the same We try to understand it And stay within the frame Once I put it down it never goes away So I wanna make sure I got sumn to say There’s so many things, of which I am not sure One thing I know, is that love is the cure Love is the cure Love is the cure One thing I know for sure Is that love is the cure The more we learn And open up our eyes to look within We start to realize That we dont really know anything After darkness comes the light We should leave it all behind Tired of being stuck in here Lets take flight - have no fear Once I put it down it never goes away So I wanna make sure I got sumn to say There’s so many things, of which I am not sure One thing I know, is that love is the cure Love is the cure Love is the cure One thing I know for sure Is that love is the cure
9.	Where Did You Go? 03:37	lyrics	buy track
In love and war They say all is fair But what I did was wrong I didn’t mean to take it there Once again I lost control We’ve been through this before But its me who hurt the most When you walked out through that door Where did you go Is it too late To take it back The things I said You know I didn’t mean it I cant believe that this is the end I’d take it all back If I could right this wrong I’d give everything I have Not to be alone They say the ones we love We will hurt the most I didn’t mean to make you cry And I just want you to come back home Where did you go Is it too late To take it back The things I said You know I didn’t mean it I cant believe that this is the end
10.	To Another World 04:03	lyrics	buy track
You’ve been feeling insecure Thinking whats the purpose of it all Always something in your hair Always questioning why are we here You’ve been trapped in this cage you’re in Wondering where I’ve been But I never went anywhere Now you begin looking within There is nothing And I’ve always been right here I dont mind where we go And I dont really care, no Any way the wind blows I will follow you anywhere you go Close your eyes and take my hand Baby lose control Let me take you girl To another world Nothing ever stays the same The rules are always changing in this game There’s a crack in everything That is where the light comes in Dont be afraid, its not too late Love will conquer hate You just have to believe If you have faith, give more than you take You dont have to wait You will have more than you need I dont mind where we go And I dont really care, no Any way the wind blows I will follow you anywhere you go Close your eyes and take my hand Baby lose control Let me take you girl To another world
11.	Be The Light 02:41	lyrics	buy track
Just play me a simple song I just want to sing along Baby make me lose my mind Stop the clock, erase the time Put everything on pause I cant take this anymore There’s too much confusion And truth is an illusion Shut the sun from my eyes Only you in the night You’re the moon shining bright On my way be the light Can you stop the world from turning? Can you stop my heart from burning? Breathe in, breathe out Clear my head, it’s in the cloud Take me far away from here To a place where there is no fear Show me how to love again Make me blossom from within Shut the sun from my eyes Only you in the night You’re the moon shining bright On my way be the light

about

During the pandemic lockdown Jonas produced and released the 2 EP's "4ward Fast To Future" and "All Systems Go". As he has always been used to creating and writing with other artists and musicians, this was a new untravelled path - working alone, or with others remotely. But Jonas always loved working with dogmas. The restrictions sometimes opens up new opportunities and different approaches. Jonas liked his new found way of working so much, that he decided to do a whole album in the same way.

A good portion of the songs on "Be The Light" are written with other artists, or features perfomances from favorite fellow musicians, but the majority of the writing, the instruments played, programming, production and mixing, is done by Jonas.

A few songs deal with the state of the world, and how we are gradually becoming more and more divided. The album title "Be The Light", is promoting the idea of being the change you want to see in the world. To lead by example. To choose good. To try to be the best version of yourself.

"Be The Light" will be available on BandCamp first, and will be released on Jonas' 50th birthday!
