Travelling - Matkustelua

This blog is in finnish, but here`s a rough conclusion about the blog. In this blog I´m searching those promises I have made to myself over the years. The story is about not doing things one should do and how to improve yourself as a writer and human being. I`ve been travelling here and there over the years and I have almost every time thought to myself that “I have to come back here for the `cause of music. Writing would be so much productive somewhere else than back at home” … On mukava kirj… Continue

Amanda Marshall`s song was a reminder for me

I had an conversation with one radio dj and I asked him what he would think of my music. He also played his favorite music for me. One of the artist was called Amanda Marshall and the song: Beautiful Goodbye. Same evening I got a sms from my friend. He anounced that the most important album of his life has been Roger Waters:Amused to Death. Amanda Marshall`s song was a reminder for me. It has some same flavours in early begining of the song, those first few chords. I had to agree. Amused to De… Continue

"Music and thoughts behind them; this tuesday"

"...I´m back from southern Europe. It sure feels good to be back in front of your drawing board. So much to do. .when you try to be a creative artist. One has to have ability to come up with new ideas and songs all the time. But it don`t have to be a must thing that one has to think all the time. I have coupe with this issue: I think that reading must be one of the easiest ways to come up with new ideas. Second thing is taking time for yourself-new ideas need the time desperately. Third is musi… Continue

Images....

Was on the road this past weekend. Did some creative listening to different artists and compared how they use different images to paint pictures in their songs. One of my favorite ones deals with water. How it flows, how it ripples when a stone is thrown in it and just how it represents life. In that i saw things like: It constantly flows and you can't stop it. You can dam it up, but it will eventually continue on. When stagnate it dies. An object thrown in water causes ripples which cover the e… Continue

what I enjoy writing about...

I enjoy a good song. So much of todays music is very shallow and is cut out of a mould...all the same. Del Suggs ( http://www.saltwatermusic.com ) once told me that every good song has a story and every good story deserves a song. I tend to agree. I wrote a song earlier this year that I have yet to record that I am pretty proud of. Is is based off a relationship two friends of mine had, they are still married...but I don't know how things will end up.… Continue

NEW ! Thom is working on with some new songs

I´m working with some new song at the moment. I packed my guitar and headed to inland. I´m staying near at Saimaa trying to write some new songs. Got excited when I listen to Ron Sexsmith song, so I tryed and made one song with Ron`s style. If we record that it will be available this site too. For me, it feels now that songwriting is a long process. Maybe cause I`ve been writing music so little time, that it takes a w… Continue
