Lyrics

I went too far into something weird
can I turn now?
I seconded guessed I guess

I wanna shine like I always do
when I'm happy
now I'm a fucking mess

Don't wanna tell you I'm sorry
when I'm not sorry
You trivialize my pain

If I'm not pleasant enough to you
it's a pity
Believe me I’m not the same

If my battle is inside
I have to hide
'cause I know you never learn
the deeper meaning
Wish I was a child again
I knew my world back then
All I think about is how
can I turn now

I went along with the things
I feared that would hurt me
to hide that I was afraid

You came along at a bad time
wishing to change me
My plans were already made

And now I see it's a lot to
ask of somebody
You look like a question mark

'cause when you see my bright skin
and my shining eyes
you'd never think that I was this dark

But my battle is inside
I'll have to hide
'cause I know you'll never learn
the deeper meaning
Wish I was a child again
I knew my world back then
All I think about is how
can I turn now

Wish I was a child again
I knew my world back then
All I think about is how
can I turn
can I turn
now

I went to far into something weird
can I turn now

I went to far into something weird
can I turn now

	Monoriffic! Great mix of styles and sounds. I particularly liked the harsh guitar and the singers soft voice. Great harmonies! I downloaded it. Check out my latest song called Smoove

Caroline Ingeberg is a find! This is a great contemporary
female alternative rock song. Absolutely solid, right on. A
mainstream hit. Love the retro organ, altho the hi-EQ'd
acoustic intro guitar (on first verse) is a bit too bright in
my speakers (the chorus guitar is perfect, and once the
elec gtr layers in, it is fine too). Nice variation on layers of
instrument. The drumming got a bit frenzied in places
(especially in headphones). But this is a really good song
with great moments and an A1 vocalist (who could be
truned up in spots)!

Check out my latest song called Once & Future Concerto, 1st movement

She's a keep
Thank you. Due to the producer being in Australia and the writer-musician
and singer being in different parts of Norway we had to compromise a bit
when it came to sending parts of the song to be mixes. Hence most of the
guitars where on one track and couldn't be mixed separately. The bright
guitar is the result of the entire mix being brightened (earlier versions were
kind of muffled). It is a compromise, but a good one I think. It will be fixed in
a final mix of course.

And thank you all for all your compliments :)

	Great track Really strong songwriting and an amazing voice. Like the raunchy guitar.... always like raunchy guitar. Might want to mix it down in the final version... keep the tone, though. Awesome song! Check out my latest song called Little Tiki Bar (Russo Mix)

	High Spirited! Real good. Reminded me of the Bangles Live. Fab vocals...and great playing. Thick and tight playing to be sure. Heard you saying you're not done mixing yet....but it's getting tight now. Solid 8. Check out my latest song called Five Pound Samwitch

Contrasts...
In principle I like the idea of an aggressive song with a
somewhat sweet sounding singer, but I'm wondering if
you're overdoing it.

On my monitors it sounds like the bass is a bit
exaggerated. That, and the double bass drum, makes it
almost heavy metal, which the song is not.

Good song, though, decent production, well played and
sung.

	great stuff Mono, I have to say I like this version better than the remixed one. Makes me move my chair more :) Reminds me on Republica a bit. Keep it coming baby. Check out my latest song called On the Other Side

	great stuff Well, this _is_ the original. And the original should per definition be better than the remix right? Hehe. This mix isn't perfect. But it will be improved in the next month or so. Stay tuned :) Check out my latest song called Can I Turn Now (MacJams Re-remix)
