Lyssna på frekvensen. Lyssna på signalen. Musiken från en avlägsen planet. Toner från kosmos. Lyssna. Lyssna nu. Vill du fly? Vill du lämna planeten? Lyssna. Lyssna nu. Framtiden kommer. Var redo. Evigheten väntar inte

I’m not alive I’m not inside I’m not your god I’m not your dog I’m not a rock I’m not stuck I’m not for sale I’m not derailed I’m not a word I’m not absurd I’m not a sound I’m not around I’m not afraid I’m not too late I’m not easy I’m not crazy I'm not defined I'm not online I'm not at home I'm not alone I'm not the sun setting No I'm not anything I'm not nothing But I'm singing Unwanted sound Fooling around So set me free Don't let me be Unwanted sound Unwanted sound (variation) Fooling around So let me free Don’t let me be

Du vil ikke længere gå i seng For dit liv er en lang drøm Lykken fandt dig og nu er det sket Livet har svøbt sig omkring dig Helt uden lyd og helt uden ord Finder du den ro du glemte at dyrke Fuglene synger deres egen sang Ud i luften som du kan ånde ind Hvis du var et ur så gik du til tiden Hvis du var en dråbe vand så var du den Der fik bægeret til at løbe over og Fik vandet til at fosse ud Du gik flere kilometer i regnen Du blev smidt ud og du blev sat af Men du tog kampen op og du vandt Du vandt Ja du tog kampen op og du vandt Det er ik’ for at prale men du tog kampen op og du vandt Jeg vil ikke længere gå i seng for mit liv er en lang drøm

Little Song 01:40
You can light up the night or nothing at all You can sit and wait for the future to call, but Why spend your precious time waiting? Your life is not a box to put your fate in There’s a thousand things on my mind I’m confused and I don’t have the time But I don't want to see the end No I just want to be your friend This nothing is a waste of space Tomorrow we will win the race

Europe as a whole, cities connected With railroads and motorways I like to think of Europe as a pocket full of things that doesn't matter but has a lot of weight I could live somewhere, somewhere far away Get lost and disappear Berlin is worn out and grey, Hamburg’s hiding behind the Elbe Stockholm's ice is melting in the sun Brussels, Madrid, Prague, Amsterdam, Kiev, London, Paris and Rome Only one place you can call home When I was young I thought we were all the same But we’re not. We’re really not. In the future the sky will darken, we'll be roaming in the night blinded by the flickering lights We'll be lost Seen from a certain perspective It’s all so confusing I remember things and It can never return as it was If we are alone in the universe we will only speak to ourselves If all we have is the mirror, then we are trapped I fell asleep and dreamt of you and inside the dream There is another dream and then another dream You're right in front of me. I don't know what to say I see into your eyes Europe as a whole Europa i sin helhed Oslo, Vienna, Warsaw Barcelona, Munich Milan, Prague, Sofia, Copenhagen, Cologne Only one place Only one place you can call home

Ich möchte verschwinden. Flieg im Blau davon. Wohin willst du heute gehen? Wohin willst du gehen? Vom Himmel hoch Ich sehe den Silberwald Und der Silberfluss Ich sehe hier oben keinen Gott Jetzt verabschiede ich mich. Jetzt schläft die halbe Welt. Und die anderen hören nicht zu. Ich möchte verschwinden. Ich will mit dir verschwinden. Auf wiedersehen und bis bald

about

My name is Søren Søndberg, and The Immoderate Past is my music. My new album “Jeg vil ikke gå i seng, for mit liv er en lang drøm” (I Don’t Want To Go To Bed, Because My Life is A Long Dream) is out now. I have written, played all instruments, recorded, mixed and mastered the entire album by myself.

The album is a dreamy and psychedelic trip, where I want to invite you to a melancholic, energetic and existential world. The songs are in different languages, because I felt that the songs needed to reflect a European identity. The album’s centerpiece “Europe As A Whole” deals with the small individual in a big world, as illustrated by Europe’s largest cities.

Other songs deal with loneliness, friendships, overcoming challenges and surreal meditations.
Thank you for listening. I hope you enjoy it.

about

The Immoderate Past Denmark

A band, but then again not really. Dreamy indie rock with weird ideas and poetic songwriting coupled with a lot of guitars and old drum machines. Science fiction from the future about the past.
