Hey guys,
a couple of months ago i listened to “väntat sa länge” for the first time. i am a hobby musician (more songwriter... just for myself) and i had this overwhelming feeling, that i had to write my own song about waiting... my swedish is very bad, so i really do not have even a little clue what “väntat sa länge” is about...
please listen to my demo-version (without singing, without real hard drums, without e-guitar etc.) and read my lyrics. maybe they sound stupid, but they mean a lot to me; they express exactly my feelings.
Do you think, my song (mp3) sounds very alike to väntat sa länge? Maybe not from the style, but the melody? Play loud!!!

Waited so long
(Peter S.)
I’ve waited so long
Waited for a tiny sign from you
A short look into my eyes
It’s on you to make my dreams come true
Yes I’ve already waited so long
Waited for that deep warm thrill
Why do you treat me so coldly?
Gotta think a lack of love can kill
Refr.:
I’ve waited so long to get a message from you
What in the world will push me through?
Waited so long to be happy again
What in the world will free me from this chain?
Oh free me from this chain!
(short instr.)
I’ve waited for far too long
Could have waited for the Milky Way
Even only for a second fraction
To give its treasures - just for me - away
I’ve waited long enough
Long enough to become aware
Of awareness not being worth
Destroying a dream, that is so rare
(Ref. + big instr.)
I’ve waited so long
Waited for a tiny little sign from you
This look into my eyes
And all my dreams came true
I’ve waited, so long to get a message from you
What in the world will push me through?
Waited so long to be happy again
What in the world will free me from this chain?
Waited, to get a message from you
What in the world will push me through?
Waited so long to be happy again
What in the world will free me from this chain?
Oh free me from this chain!

I don’t write about them, but my melodies tend to sound like Gessle’s.
I guess it’s because Roxette’s music is part of my personality.

I’m sorry, but I just have the lyrics... I got the music so clear in my mind, but I don’t know how to play any instrument...

Oh, my... I also got a song, but it’s inspired by Marie Fredriksson and Morten Harket VOICES... So, it’s a duet, and it’s entitled “Precious Love”...
P.S.: Morten Harket = A-HA frontman...
