Ferlin Ft Jens Comen - Kikajon

18th Oct 2010 09:49 - 16 years ago

Description : Nils Ferlin was a swedish poet from Värmland county, his statue is sitting on a bench in a small town called Filipstad. This song is about talking to Ferlin about life.
The track was originally written for my band way back in the eighties and I always felt that I should rearrange the chorus. So here it is, a totally new version of the song with lyrics in english.

UPDATE March 3: My buddy and former band mate Jens Comen is now a fabulous sax player in a folk rock band called Hoven Droven (check them out on itunes). His soprano sax added a nice touch to this song. If you want to see the Ferlin statue, check out my pics.

Thank you very, very much. This song finally came together after that session with Jens. He's actually one of the most gifted musicians I know. You should check out his work on spotify or Itunes – Hoven Droven is the name of his band.
Again, thanks for review.

Thank you, Silvestre. I'm really glad you like it. My friend Jens, the sax player added a totally new dimension to this one and now I think the song is finally done. And much better than it was some 25 years ago. :D

Sagt det förr och jag säger det igen. Du har en röst lik Lars Winnerbäck (eller han lik dig?). Mycket skön låt att lyssna till, väldigt avkopplande såhär mitt i natten.

Tack så mycket, vad kul att du gillar den. När jag tänker på det har du nog rätt, reggae är vinternattsmusik. Vad Lars anbelangar – jag är äldre. :)

Cool man, loved the gun slinger lead at the end, very western sounding! Sounds like this one has passed the test of time. I like the story about talking to the statue. Reggae, I love it!

Thanks Wayne, I'm glad you liked it.
The song has been with me for a while (close to 30 years, haha) but it was just a few weeks back I got the melody for the chorus and I had to record it. Thanks for the review and the fav, appreciate it.
