Description
This is supposed to be the title "song" of my album Dreams in Cerulean Blue. It includes me reciting an old poem of mine about a soul going rather unaware through life but still able to get a kick out of it for any small reason, like the sun coming out...
(Yes, I know it's a noisy vocal recording, haven't got a proper microphone yet and very little time to practice voice recording techniques...)

Lyrics
Som en fågel (Swedish original as in recording)
Jag är en själ
lite vilsen kanske
som svävar genom livet
utan att märka mycket
när jag stöter emot jorden
eller slukas av ett moln
Inga stora teorier har jag
om Livet och dess mening
Jag flyter bara fram på havet
och grubblar inte över Undret
Att skeppet flyter
på de gröna vågorna
Att leva verkar vara nog för mig
Det liksom räcker med en känsla
så lyfter jag... en fågel
som inte bryr sig om att det regnar
men är lycklig bara solen bryter fram
och när vindarna leker i fjädrar och hår
Henrik Dunér, around 1984
Like a bird (English translation för MJ)
I am a soul
maybe a little lost
hovering through life
without noticing much
when I hit the ground
or is devoured by a cloud
I have no great theories
about Life and it’s meaning
I’m just floating along on the sea
not pondering the Wonder
That the ship stays afloat
on the green ocean waves
Just to be alive is good
A feeling is enough for me
I take off – a bird
that doesn’t mind when it rains
but is happy when the sun's coming out
and when the wind is playing in feathers and hair.

the feelings come through to me. Ahhh... the simplicity of just being... We often get all caught up in chores, bills, opinions, etc. and forget to enjoy the moment we are in. Why do we complicate everything? Anyway, your poem made me stop and think. "Just to be alive is good."
Thank you for sharing this with us, Henrik. :-)
