Angel

Woke up to a very snowy morning again... it seems like it will snow every day now;=)



Started out with listening to a song I have recorded for Niclas (Alyson avenue) as a tribute for a very loved special person in his life. The song is called Angel and we´ll see how we will get it out but I will tell you when I know. A very slow ballad without drums, bass or anything. Just accoustic guitars and keyboards and my voice. It´s all about the lyrics so then that is just enough.


Now I´ll start exercising. Missed out yesterday so feel that I need to do it today. I am very tired and low on energy at the moment, maybe the weather, but exercising always works to get some energy going;=)
Enjoy your day!

  1. Good morning Anette!

    That is beautiful! Did you take the picture of the snow?

    I was thinking recently while listening to Angels Fall First, how Tarja's voice doesn't really fit the acoustic songs, so a question, have you ever, or will you ever sing some Nightwish songs from the first album? I think you would sound so amazing! Just a thought that I had...

    Have fun exercising!

  2. Morning dear Anette =D

    There's snow here in the UK too! More than i've ever seen in my 20 years of life haha =D

    I've just recently bought a workout DVD called "Davina's Power Of 3" Apparently it works really well and kicks your butt! Have you ever tried it before? I'll let you know if i can handle it =p

    Enjoy your dayy

  3. Dear Anette,

    I am very, very curious about this "Angel"-Song!! Hope it will be released soon. Sounds very promising.
    I was writing a song with my soulmate a few days ago. First He did the melody and me the words. I told a story about a sad person who went her/his way and was suddenly was invited to sit on an fireplace and a cup of tea which helped to melt the persons frozen heart. I called the song "a cup of tea". But my soulmate found that the lyrics were too heavy for the melody so we tried it together and now there came out a much lighter lovesong. Well, but even that I was dissapointed in the beginning I have to say that now lyrics and melody are matching perfectly together. No I love the song and sing it all day long. It's a very easy one now but stays in the ear when heared. Maybe you'll hear it one day. We'll see.
    But first I wanna hear "Angel"!!

    Have a great time, yours,
    Lisa

  4. Good morning Anette.
    Same for me today, lots of snow. Which is typical when I have an hour and a half drive on bad roads to a job interview this afternoon.

    Have a great day

  6. Fantastic news! I look forward to hearing it. Your voice matches ballads so well! I agree with Alexandrina about the acoustic songs on AFF. I've sometimes wondered what songs like “The Carpenter” would sound like with you and Marco singing. And it would be nice to breathe some new life into old material. ;-)

    Enjoy your day xx

  11. Are you planning on recording any Christmas songs? If you would do so, I would love to listen to them! Maybe you could do a cover of "Miss you most(at christmas time)" by Mariah Carey or "All I want for Christmas Is You" also by her. I think they would sound great sang by you. Especially that you have such a wide range just like her. :)

  13. Hi Anette,

    Oh my gosh, the snow looks so pretty! I wish it would snow like that where I live. Here in Texas, it usually only snows a tiny bit once or twice a year.

    And I hope to hear the song soon. Perhaps you'll post it soon for us? :) I'm sure it's beautiful.

    Have a nice day! :)

  17. Jag är också väldigt trött. Tror det är pga att vi har så lite sol nu. D-vitamin brist!
    Det skulle det väl kunna vara?
    (Jag är ingen expert på vitaminer) =)

    Fast, du har bebis och det brukar ju inbegripa lite sömn.

  18. @Athene The Amaranth video is based on that painting, "The Wounded Angel" by Hugo Simberg.

  20. Music is much like story telling to me. I listen to what it says to me uniquely and what it translates in my mind. I've a vivid imagination and it's not so much the beat or rhythm of the song it's the words and meaning that holds strong. Maybe thats why I like your music so much.

    Don't know, so much snow here it's making me blue. My heart feels blue and cold inside it will be quite sometime before I feel the sun again.

  21. @Eilenna: Thanks a lot :-) I didn't know that.

  22. Good morning Anette:)
    So sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner. It's been Thanksgiving Day here in America and busy, busy I've been. Again sorry.
    Boy Howdy Pilgrims!!!!!

    Like that isn't an awesome amount of snow already. A beautiful photo of it sweetie. It reminds me of the Rocky Mountains when I lived there with my Uncle. Nice and powdery and deep! Hope you were able to get the snow tires for the pram, looks like you need them to go out for your needed walks:)Keep warm please.

    Still can't be good, the lack of energy can be so devastating. It's probably a combination of the weather and little Nemo not letting you get enough sleep at nights properly. Such are my understandings of it for the last couple of nights...it doesn't take much to disturb the balance. If exercising helps than by all means exercise! But on the same note, Rest and Relax when you can:)

    The music sounds like its going to be Fabulous. So I'm sure I'll be impressed with a slow ballad done by you. A hands down and thumbs up:} Stay in tune!!!
    Have the best day possible,and enjoy...what can!
    take care, God bless
    lots of love,
    Gary

  24. Hi Anette!
    Today was sunny here and no snow.
    Can't wait to hear this song "Angel". Must be beautiful :)
    This painting "Wounded angel" is perfect, I would like to have just a copy of it..
    Now, I'm just sitting and listening to great music from Nuclear Blast :) Yesterday I'll enjoy the pilgrimage to Częstochowa again. That will be cool! :D
    Have a nice evening

    Lots of hugs

  32. Hi Anette! :)

    We have also got snow today now! :) It's very surprising for here, let alone in November, there's about 2 inches!
    I think this 'Angel' song would sound great! :) Any chance you can give us a listen sometime? :)

    Warming hugs and love from Ireland,
