Sweden rock magazine interview

I just saw that the new Sweden Rock Magazine where I´m doing an interview is out so I need to head out and get me a copy and if you´re from Sweden I suggest you do it too=)

Extra nice to share the first page with such a nice man as Tommi Iommi who I had the privilege to meet backstage when we played in UK in our DPP tour=)

ENJOY your evening! 
I´m off to the crossfit gym for today´s WOD! Hep hep!!

Spring feelings;=)

Good morning!

Yesterday I had a lovely long morning walk for some hours and I love that we now officially have SPRING here in south of Sweden;=) Welcome spring, I´m so happy you´re back!!

I met some nice deers on my way through the forest and they were so calm and not afraid at all. Amazing=)

Yesterday I had some really nice blessings coming my way and I am so thankful for that! When I went to church to light a candle I got to hear some lovely choir singing when they were sound checking for a concert later yesterday night with a Swedish artist called Nordman. Sounded lovely!

A really nice review of my album from Matterz

Here you go, a review of my upcoming album SHINE made by  Matterz from UK:

Anette Olzon `Shine' Review

Anette Olzon

`Shine’

Review


Anette_Olzon_Shine_Cover_high_res.jpg
 For people have never been in a band, it’s hard to envisage the troubles that can occur between people that on the outside seem like a Disney fairytale but scratch under that and the way people eat their breakfast will piss you off after enough time. We should all be aware now about Nightwish and their singer matter, first Tarja and then Anette Olzon.
Anette Olzon is back in the limelight and ready with her forthcoming album entitled `Shine’, produced by Stefan Orn, famed for his work on the 2011 Eurovision Finnish song contest winning `Running Scared’ so it has a good backing already. The first question for many will be `how much does it sound Nightwish?’
To answer that question, it does, after all Anette’s voice was Nightwish for 5 years and in that time two incredible albums was released. Anette’s vocals always seemed better suited to the slower songs such as `Slow, Love, Slow’ from `Imaginaerium’, which perfectly complimented Anette’s less bombastic approach. This album is far more along those lines, less bombastic than Nightwish, using the strengths of Anette’s voice to much better effects. For `Shine’, however Anette seems to have given herself freedom to express her musical wants rather than be limited to the Nightwish sound.
Without doubt, Anette has a wonderful voice, her range on this album is exquisite and I wonder how Nightwish would have developed under Anette’s third album but it would have still remained in the Nightwish soundscape. Yes it’s less rock and certainly has more pop/ballad approach but it’s a lovely statement from Anette and one that will have her back on her feet and touring once more.
Stand out tracks:
`Floating’, `Lies’ and `Falling’.
8.5/10- Anette’s vocals shine through.

Lyrics for LIES

Hi all and THANKS for all of the support and wonderful response I´ve gotten everywhere for my single LIES;=) It truly makes me so HAPPY and EXCITED!

I´ve gotten some requests for the lyrics for LIES so here it is:

LIES
(Anette Olzon, Stefan Ɩrn, Johan Glƶssner)

Verse:
Thousand lights passing by
Stories floating around
Silence is long gone by now
All the wishes we had
Dreams that we shared

I remember the time
Closing down open doors
Making fences grow strong
Burning the plants that had grown
Deep inside from the time when love was our life
Now it´s goodbye

Chorus:
All of the LIES just passing us by
I´m holding to keep it inside
Why no wrong can´t be right
All the wonders are gone
No more flowers will fall tonight
All of the LIES just passing us by

Verse:
Threads of life going by
Precious moments run by
Tossing and turning our minds
All the magic is gone
No more feelings of hope

Will we ever forgive
Will the wounds start to heal
I´m tired of pushing the day
Putting down all behind- moving away

Chorus;
All of the LIES just passing us by
I´m holding to keep it in sight
Why no wrong can´t be right
All the wonders are gone
No more flowers will fall tonight
All that is gone just passing us by

LIES just passing us by
I´m holding to keep it in sight
Why no wrong can´t be right
All the wonders are gone
No more flowers will fall tonight
All that is gone just passing us by

And the ducks were sleeping

Good morning all!

Yesterday´s morning walk showed a lovely morning sun and lots of ducks who enjoyed it sitting sleeping on the wooden deck by the harbor as I passed them. Is there anything more beautiful or peaceful than nature?

Enjoy this day!!
