DescriptionLyricist and songwriter from Sweden/Germany, writing in English within country, Americana and singer-songwriter music. I’m strongest on lyrics, concepts and storytelling, and I usually develop my ideas into complete songs and demos. I’m here to connect with singers, musicians and songwriters who are serious about creating and releasing music, especially male country/Americana artists looking for a co-writer. I’m interested in genuine collaboration: bringing finished ideas to the table, developing yours, or starting something completely new together. If you like what I write, reach out. Let’s see if we can make something worth releasing. You can see my lyric/concept portfolio here: https://www.youtube.com/[removed]

Dreams & AmbitionsMy ambition is simple: to write songs that are good enough that artists genuinely want to make them their own. I want to connect with talented singers, musicians and co-writers who can bring something to my writing that I can't bring myself and hopefully do the same for them. I'm not chasing a specific genre, formula or number of streams. I want to build a catalogue of songs I'm proud of, find the right people to collaborate with, and eventually hear some of those songs released and performed by other artists. If one of them happens to become a hit along the way, I certainly won't complain.

Use of AII use AI mainly as a demo and creative exploration tool. I write my own lyrics, concepts and song structures, then use AI to explore melodies, arrangements, vocals and different production directions. I often generate and compare multiple versions until I find one that brings out what I intended in the writing. I see the resulting tracks as demos rather than something a collaborator needs to reproduce. When collaborating, I'm completely open to changing the melody, arrangement, structure or other musical elements. The goal isn't to recreate an AI-generated track, it's to take the underlying song and make it better together.

Lyrics

I'll miss you, kid

Genres: Country, Pop

I've gotten older but I wasn't much younger when you came along
Hair already turning gray, heart not as strong
I’d seen enough of life to know how fast it can go,
Then you smiled at me and changed the world I know

I carry you on shoulders that nolonger twenty-two,
But I swear they’ll hold you up as long as you need them to
Every night I count the years like change in my hand,
Whatever I have left in me I'll always be your old man

I’ll miss you, kid, in the years I won’t see,
I miss the man you’ll turn out to be
I’ll miss the nights when you shout out for help
When the weight of the world hits your chest
I’m here right now, doing all I can,
Loving you hard like a worn-out man
If time runs out the way it always did,
Just know I loved you, and I’ll miss you, kid

I teach you to stand tall when the world feels mean,
How to speak your truth and how to fight clean
Every word I give you, every thing I put you through
Is a way for me to stay a bit longer inside of you

When my voice turns quiet and life feels thin,
I hope you hear me in the strength you find within

I’ll miss you, kid, when the days run fast,
When the boy you were is buried in the past
I’ll miss the calls in the dead of night,
When you need someone just to say you’re right
I’m here right now, so I don’t hold back,
Every word I give you, every step I lack
If my time runs out before yours begins,
Just know I loved you and  I’ll miss you, kid

So chase every dream like it’s meant to be caught,
Don’t let fear tell you lies you never were taught
If you ever feel lost or unsure what to do,
Remember the man who believed in you

I’ll miss you, kid, when I’m just a name,
In forgotten memories and in old picture frames
I’ll miss the roads I won’t drive with you,
The dreams you chase, the things you do
I’m here right now, that’s the truth I live,
Every breath I’ve got, every ounce I give
When my voice grows quiet and the world forgets what I did
Just know I loved you, and I’ll miss you, kid

oh oh oh
I'll miss you kid
Oh oh oh
I'm already missing you, kid
If you ever wonder where I ran out of road,
Look in the man you became, that’s where I’ll go

oh oh
oh oh
