about

After a concert with The Cure in Gothenburg in October 2022, I sat on a bench in a shopping center. A man came up to me and told me the story of his life with everything from his time in IFK Gothenburg to where he spent his lonely and dangerous nights. After a concert with Avantagardet in Malmö a couple of months later, I unexpectedly met my cousin whom I hadn't seen in 20 years. It was a lovely meeting.

lyrics

Met a man In Gothenburg
A warm October Saturday
In an empty mall
He turned to me
And told me that his family
Was gone

Once he was an angel
But fell back down to earth
In a empty mall
He turned to me
Said: ”All is gone but misery.”

Said his on his way
Going to catch that train

Its the only way to go now
Its the only way to be free
It’s the only way to be

I met a man
in my hometown
A cold December Saturday
I should have seen
I should have known
But time make you forget
It was gone
Away

Though the years had gone
Our relation still was strong

Its the only way to go now
Its the only way to be
Its the only way to go now
Its the only way to be
