Easy Ride 02:45
Life is an easy ride If you want it to be Your own two feet will take you very far If you just try to live free Ride into the sunset and let the stars guide you home Loose all of your dead weight and let the warm winds carry you away Fool around with someone you adore and let the gentle waves wash you ashore Ride into the sunset and let the brightest star guide you home Let the stars guide you home

Nocturnal 04:36
I know of a place Where only good folks come around I know of a place Where no one will try to get you down I know of a place Where sad thoughts don’t linger around It’s easy to get there You just follow your heart I’m going tonight Do you wanna come? The place that I know Is inside of a sound The secret way to get there is hidden inside of this song You think that it’s strange and ask 'how can it ever be found'? But it’s easy to get there Baby, close your eyes and look around I’m going tonight Do you wanna come? This place that I know Is hidden somewhere in this town This place that I talk of Is situated deep underground Waves idly lapsing The wind in the trees turn you on So find your way there If you wish to be found We’re going tonight Do you wanna come?

The air you breathe The things you see Change it, if you really want to live If everyday Is the same As every other day Change your tune Tonight is a new moon Elegant Spring You poor thing You only live for the summer Elegant spring It’s gonna be a long fall And then the winter begins Reality Is only temporary So make of it what you want Don’t waste your time Trying to be someone Reconnect With good things that you seem to forget Nowhere to go, but everywhere Keep Rolling under the stars Elegant Spring You poor thing You only live for the summer Elegant spring It’s gonna be a long fall And then the winter begins

Heavy Rain 04:13
Heavy rain is drumming on her window In the dark a silent tear finds way to her pillow Heavy rain for weeks have made the roots show On the tree that she used to see grow Run Run Running from the coming tide Hiding from a landslide Heavy rain is gonna make you cry Seeking shelter can only work for a while And she knows that it’s our time to die Waking up exhausted from a dream She has seen what the end will be And she tries to stay awake for as long as she can But in the mirror her tired old eyes they tell no lies Run Run Running from the coming tide Hiding from a landslide Heavy rain is gonna make you cry Seeking shelter can only work for a while And she knows that it’s our time to die

Brown and the blues My old and tired shoes And these eyes have seen it all From the mountains to the fall In a dream But, you’re not sleeping In between You stare at the ceiling In a dream Where you’re not sleeping The eyes Can be deceiving Water on the horizon and these lines you keep reciting About the distance we have to go About the tears that make us grow In a dream But, you’re not sleeping In between You stare at the ceiling In a dream Where you’re not sleeping The eyes Can be deceiving Take a flower Spread it in the wind Then take my hand and let me help you understand
7.
Circles 04:02
You live a quiet life But there’s still time to turn it around Your feet are planted on solid ground But your head’s still spinning around This time leave your circles behind The road is open up ahead All the red lights are in your own head These sails will carry you on the open sea If you dare to sail with me This time leave your circles behind Clear skies awaits you Fly away with me I am the stars I am the sea Please let me set you free This time leave your circles behind

Thunderbird 04:11

Wilderness 05:00
I got off At the last trains last stop An empty station Where all the train tracks are covered up A warm sensation From a sunset shining through the treetops Where the tracks end Life begins All over Again Where the tracks end Life begins All over Again Anything that winter takes will grow back again The snow melts And the blood rushes through the veins You can change and come to life again Where the tracks end Life begins All over Again Where the tracks end Your life begins All over Again Where the tracks end Life begins All over Again

about

Spirit is the second album by Danish-French Emile, otherwise known from the acid rock band The Sonic Dawn. On this new solo effort, Emile unfolds a new and exciting side of his songwriting.

Each song ebbs and flows effortlessly with a great sense of purpose, always centered around Emile’s voice and masterful, mainly acoustic guitar playing. He is backed by a small ensemble of selected musicians and blackbirds singing the sun down.

The lyrics reflect an unpretentious cosmic consciousness, simply marveling at existence as it is. Spirit about connection with our surroundings, with nature and the universe. There is beauty in transformation too, Emile reminds us.

Spirit is a different album from a different singer-songwriter. It is both surrealistic and easy to understand, accomplished and untamed, light and heavy — like the passing of time.
