Lullaby named I Lull My Child – Kannan tunturilla

I wrote this lullaby in the early 1990s. I was on tour as a troubadour in Finnish Lapland. During that trip, I had several gigs that also featured Sámi songwriters. They sang their own songs and traditional yoiks. One morning after waking up in a motel, I grabbed my guitar, and the song, with its lyrics, was born from that sitting. At some point, I was shown a video of reindeer herds being released from their pens into the wild. At that time, the light was on its side because the sun had barely risen above the horizon and was quickly disappearing from view. There is a season in Lapland when the sun does not rise at all, but that phase was behind us. Other elements came from my dream, where I carried my son in my arms on the fells. When he was a baby and a toddler, I was a stay-at-home dad when I was not on gigs.

No Sucn Thing as Death

There is no such thing as death. There is only life, passing from one person to another. What we call death is the end of a person’s life, not the beginning of death. For death to exist, it must contain something. But it is nothing, not even emptiness.

Universes Go on Infinitely

Take me to the moon.
I'll fly with you.
From the moon
I want to go
to another galaxy.
To the red one
they're talking about.
We can also go
to the other
side
of
galaxies.
That's
what
They're talking about it too.
I don't believe them.
Universes
never end.
They go on
infinitely.
