Listening to her music, reading her lyrics, we should be thankful that
someone dares to be this complicated, this human. And still without forgetting the importance of beauty. Melodies as precious as Stina's are a rare thing.
GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE
a message from Stina (of March 2006):
"hey. it is unfair and a blessing that i should stumble in here today. i am ill and weak and the world seems very bleek and lifeless- is this before or after the bomb?? i have been sleeping so it might as well be that i have missed it . there was also some sort of spring going on that equally seemed to have gone off into thin air. what i really want to say is: thanks. i almost started crying a little when i heard Greetings from the old world, another song i have totally forgetten- it was not on any album, maybe a single b-side?? written to an englishman i knew who moved to america. great guitars! and add percussion in the 2nd verse, the "the story goes you're still alive.." -add vocals, and the (pitched down) sampling from a central park concert. i must remember to not forget it again."
I love your music Stina, may you have a beautiful winter. Here, it doesn't snow, but I think of the snow of your land, and the street lamps; so beautiful.
Ohoj i stugan Stina! Hoppas livet leker vilt med dig som aldrig förr och att julen har varit god! Må 2010 bli det bästa året hittills... ...så god jul och gott nytt år!

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
Ho! Ho! Ho! We thought we'd contribute to the holiday spirit by sharing a new song which we hope functions as an antidote to the madness of consumption that seems to have since long overshadowed the birth of love! It's an alternative Christmas carol & we'd love it if you check it out! May this Holiday season be filled with Kindness! All true blessings upon you & your loved ones, light, mercy & compassion for all!
