Description:
This is a collab I did with an extremely talented singer/songwriter named Petra Borén. Please check out her wonderful music here:
http://www.myspace.com/petraboren
She also did the painting that you see part of on this page. It's called 'Min ängel..hold me'.
When we decided we wanted to do a song together I dusted off one of my old acoustic pieces that I thought her voice would be perfect on. I was so right!

Lyrics:
Are you tired of being lonely?Are you tired of being in need?
Are you tired of being the only
One which whom they lean?
Are you tired of being pulled in
To those tired stupid games?
Are you tired of their complaining?
Are you tired of all their ways?
You can rest in me
I will lend an ear
Set your burdens free
They will disappear
Are you tired of resentment?
Are you tired of their greed?
Are you tired of having no one
When you're the one in need?
Are you tired of holding back
Are you tired of giving up?
Are you tired of all the pain
Do you want it all to stop?
You can rest in me
I will lend an ear
Set your burdens free
They will disappear

distinct voice on this track. some nice guitar playing. nice melody line at 1:40 works well when the male vocals take over.
rsorensen

lavalamp
Nicely written piece, regarding the the music. She's a great singer man. Good idea to have her sing it.

Feter
great song ...loved the vocals work the guitars ..
the slide ..very thoughtful one realy ..more more more
thnx for sharin !!
rsorensen
thanks feter. i like the slide too. i was going for a lap steel sound a la Ben Harper. Wish I could afford a real one!

Nice song you two put together here. I especially like how your voices sound together starting at the 3:12 mark. The panning on the guitar sounds really good too - it fills up the space well.
Well sung!
rsorensen
it's tough attempting a 'duet' without really singing together, but she really pulled off singing along with the tracks I gave her. hopefully we'll do a few more in the future. thanks for checking this out.
davisamerica
very nice lyrics and Petra's voice is perfect ... then the duet sets in and soars. this is a great collab. it is hard to sync duets from a distance but you guys smashed that barrier. man ... your guitar work is just great. so... right then ... did i love this? indeed i did! Great Job
rsorensen
thanks for commenting. yeah everything fell into place nicely with this as far as recording goes, despite the long distance.
Dj French Toast
Vocal her voice is so heartfelt and soul filled . I really really like the simple soundbed and enjoyed the song very much .....The male vocal is a great add as well llovely tune and thanx alot for the download .
rsorensen
thanks. yeah i don't know how she does it! they're my words but she can sing them like they're her own. not easy to pull off!

Mellow and anguished. Very powerful stuff. Can't wait to get home and check out Petra's site. This has a good Sea Change by Beck sound to it - which is a great thing. Great job! Give my compliments to Petra.
rsorensen
Well I love Sea Change so thanks! Yeah check out her site. Actually, she's also on icomp. That's where most of her stuff is posted. Speaking of powerful, check out her tune 'Breathe You'.
Vic Holman
this is really nice. has a nice sweet sound, vocally and guitar wise. Nice slide work as well. you both really hit a nice pocket with this.
rsorensen
Thanks Vic I appreciate it. Production-wise there's a bit too much hissing for my liking so I'll need to revisit and denoise (and get a new acoustic pickup methinks!). Anyway, thanks for listening.

Alannah
.. the melancholy tone set here .... Petra has a lovely voice ... I truly enjoyed when the duet part started in ... yup ... liked it all round !
rsorensen
thanks alannah. she certainly does. check out her site for more greatness.
bud
this has such a delicate sound and open production. Really enjoyed this - well done - both of you.
rsorensen
thanks a bunch. i really could have spent some more time on reducing the noise, but it does seem to give everything a somewhat Earthy openness I like.
What a great voice Petra has and some lovely guitar work here and your voice is brilliant also - rserenson really great production- your voices in harmony fit together like a hand in a glove. Perfectly. I love it lots.
And yet another of yours for my ipod. I love your music.
Peace Dee,
rsorensen
thanks dee! Yes I'm really looking forward to doing another with her. Maybe something a little darker... Thanks for downloading.

Like everything about this. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for listening and commenting, Peter.
jiguma
Fits beautifully with the acoustic. And then there's the blend of vocals on the duet parts - wonderful .. works really well. Some unwanted hiss on the acoustic track and your vocal Ridd - maybe that's the Snowball (maybe a flourescent light in the room?)? Would love to hear this with the hiss filtered out - a very nice song - vocals and guitars are a dream.
Neil
rsorensen
thanks neil. yeah lotsa hiss for sure on this one. not the snowball - just me and my lazy recording techniques. will definitely run this through a denoiser. thanks for listening.
Cori Ander
A wonderful song, great vocals! Nice mood.
Nice surprise to go to Petras Myspace page to see that she lives only about 20 km from my place.
rsorensen
thanks cori. haha what a cool coincidence. You gotta hook up with her and do a collab!
saymme
...Wonderfully beautiful collab..Your voice is very nice & Petras too hers not so 'usual': )
Min Ängel wow mycket fint, & Your playing is like silk well the whole song is - I rest in God..Jesus Christ Superstar so good (& easy once I struggled myself into it & decided hehe) Beautiful lyrics, they have both dark&light issues which is awesome - I love contrasts-also You got it in Your voices.. : )
ThankYou totally my pleasure Faved&dl ! Lena
rsorensen

timothy devine

tim
rsorensen
i was kind of going for a coffeehouse feel for this, but there's still too much hiss for me. an easy fix though at some point. really glad you like this. thanks for listening
Bob Rodgers
Great production and a great song! Love the vocals and guitars, a beautiful sound!
rsorensen
thanks bob. check out petra's other stuff too if you want to hear more
Heightened
And awesome collab! Truly unique and original too.
Great to hear that you do some great acoustic pieces. This is a true gem... she has a nice vocal and when you enter with your vocal... just sends chills up the spine! This is top notch stuff my friend!
Thanks for sharing... the melody is sad some..
