El Perro del Mar was founded in the end of 2003 around the idea and need of making music on terms of one's own. Behind the alter-ego is the sole member Sarah Assbring.
Sarah started out as what is often referred to as an mp3-artist and in spring 2004 the first cdr-ep 'Baby, I've been in a bad place' was released by the then newly started Swedish label Hybris. Two more cdr-ep:s, 'I've got good news' and 'Holiday Special', were released shortly thereafter. In late 2004 the first official ep 'What's new? El Perro del Mar' was released, including the songs 'I can't talk about it', 'This Loneliness' and 'It's all good'. Also around this time, she contributed with the song 'Shake it off' on a joint and very limited split single initiated by friend Jens Lekman. She joined him shortly thereafter as opening act on his tour in Sweden.

In May 2005 all the previous unofficial and official releases were gathered to form the compilation album 'Look! It's El Perro del Mar!'. Later that year the ep 'God Knows (You Gotta Give to Get) was released, including the songs 'God Knows', 'Do the Dog' and 'Say'. In December El Perro del Mar and Jenny Wilson performed together in the winter concert 'Under a Starlit Sky' at Södra Teatern in Stockholm. During spring 2006 a reworked version of the album was released in England and Europe by British label Memphis Industries. Around this time El Perro del Mar went touring as support act for José Gonzalez as well as on her own. By the end of 2006 the self-titled album was released in the U.S. as well as in Australia and New Zealand. The album received rave reviews. El Perro del Mar also had the opportunity to make a short yet highly successful tour in Brazil. In spring 2007 El Perro del Mar toured the U.S. together with her band consisting of Jesper Jarold(Fontän), Björn Synneby(pacific!) and Jon Ölmeskog(Silverbullit). El Perro del Mar left the label Hybris and found a new home on Licking Fingers, the Concretes own label. It was time for new ideas and new ways. During the spring and summer of 2007 the much longed-for work on the second album 'From the Valley to the Stars' began. The recordings as well as the producing were done by El Perro herself in her own studio in Gothenburg. With the exception of a trip around India in the fall the intense work on the album lasted until December 2007.

Candy

Oh I think it's so hard trying to figure out what
They want me to do
I've spent most of my days only to deny
What I know inside is true

Oh I think it's so hard trying to get around what
They want me to be
I've done just about all trying to care about
Everyone else except me

I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy her some candy
I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy her some candy now

On a Saturday night
On a Saturday night
On a Saturday night
I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy her some candy

Oh I make it so hard getting clear about
What it is I want me to do
One day I'll get myself out in the sunshine
Then I'll get rid of the blues

I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy her some candy
I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy some candy now

On a Saturday night
On a Saturday night
On a Saturday night

I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy her some candy
I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy her some candy now
I'm going forth to buy me some candy
She's going forth to buy her some candy

Here comes that feeling

(d.burnette / j.osborn)

Here comes that feeling again
And it ain't right
That lonely feeling that came
To me last night
It hurts to see you
In the arms of my friend
Here comes that lonely
Lonely feeling again

I saw you last night
In a drive-in way downtown
Locked in her arm
You didn't know I was around
Alone in my room
I remember where you've been
Here comes that lonely
Lonely feeling again

I've got to get rid of this lonely feeling
That makes me feel the way I do when a day is done
One day you're gonna know what it means to be
Lonesome
You're gonna want me back while I'm having fun

Here comes that feeling again
And it ain't right
A lonely feeling that came
To me last night
It hurts to see you
In the arms of my friend
Here comes that lonely
Lonely feeling again
Oh, I'm so lonely
I feel that feeling
I feel that feeling
Alright...
Oh yeah...

Do Not Despair

The stars send a message from the far above
I think it's a lesson that's filled with your love

Half of the world is asleep, is awake
Do not despair, do not despair
Today's gone to bed and tomorrow's unmade
Do not despair, do not despair

A last breath is taken, a first one is drawn
Do not despair, do not despair
Your loved one has left, a new one will come
Do not despair, do not despair

This is the lesson that comes from above
Do not despair, do not despair
You send the message, the message of love
Do not despair, do not despair

I won't have to ask you
And I will understand

Look up, baby look up

Look up, baby look up

Love will be my mirror
Love will be my mirror

Just mean you're never-ending
It means it's never-ending...

Love is not Pop

Gotta Get Smart

I've got something to tell you
Don't wanna make you sad
I've got something to tell you
Don't wanna make you mad
We've been together for so long
Don't wanna break your heart
We've been together for so long
I gotta get smart

Do do do do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do

I've got something to tell you
Don't wanna cause a scene
I've got something to tell you
I know it sounds mean
We've been together for so long
I hate to break your heart
We've been together for so long
I gotta get smart

And
I'm done
I'm done
Thinking it over
I know we said we'd give it a try
It hurts now but deep down inside
We both know it's better to part than live in a lie

So
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on

Go on, go on, go on, go on
I gotta get smart

Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
I gotta get smart

Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
I gotta get smart

Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
I gotta get smart

Go on, go on, go on, go on
I gotta get smart

Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on

Change of Heart

Her hand in the darkness
I follow for so long
Your voice in my ear
Carry me back home

Wishing you'd consider
A change of heart
But all are so bitter
And we will never stop

We will never stop
We will never stop
We will never stop
We will never stop

A light in the darkness
Been dreaming for so long
Searching for a witness
Or means to carry on

Sweet talk for hours
About things we're gonna do
And sometimes I lose track of my heart
But this could never work out, oh oh

Never stop
We will never stop
We will never stop
We will never stop

We will never stop
We will never stop
We will never stop
We will never stop

Her hand in the darkness
Follow for so long
Your voice in my ear
Help me back home
Why won't you consider
A change of heart

A change of heart
A change of heart
A change of heart…

A change of thought's gonna make you fall
A change of thought's gonna make you fall
In love with me
Open up your heart and let me in

A change of thought's gonna make you fall
A change of thought's gonna make you fall

Oh baby open up the door
Don't make me have to beg for love
Open up your heart and let me in, let me in

Heavenly Arms

( Lou Reed Cover )

Heavenly arms reach out to hold me
Heavenly arms entice you to dance
In a world of ill will, the dancers are still
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Heavenly arms soft as a love song
Heavenly arms bring a kiss to your ear
In a world that seems mad, all the dancers seem sad
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Sylvia, Sylvia
Sylvia, Sylvia

Heavenly arms come to my rescue
Only a woman can love a man
In a world full of hate, love should never wait
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Heavenly arms strong as a sunset
Heavenly arms pure as the rain
Lovers stand warned of the world's impending storm
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Sylvia, Sylvia
Sylvia, Sylvia

Heavenly arms reach out to hold me
Sylvia, you mean so much to me
Heavenly arms reach out to hold me
Sylvia, you mean so much to me
Heavenly arms reach out to hold me

It Is Something to Have Wept

( Text by Gilbert Keith Chesterton )

It is something to have wept as we have wept
And something to have done as we have done;
It is something to have watched when all have slept
And seen the stars which never see the sun

It is something to have smelt the mystic rose
Although it break and leave the thorny rods;
it is something to have hungered once as those
Must hunger who have ate the bread of gods
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
To have known the things that from the weak are furled
The fearful ancient passions, strange and high
it is something to be wiser than the world
And something to be older than the sky

Lo, and blessed are our ears for they have heard
Yeah, blessed are our eyes for they have seen
Let the thunder break on human, beast and bird
And lightning, it is something to have been
It is something to have been, it is something to have been
It is something to have been, it is something to have been
It is something, it is something...

A Better Love

This isn't over 'til I say when
When
When

I know we could've had it then
Then
Then

Better love
Better love
A better love comes back
To better love
Better love
To better love comes back

This isn't over 'til I say when
When
When

You know we both changed a lot since then
Then
Then

Somehow I lost what I felt back then
Then
Then

And honey, you deserve better than
Me
Me

Better love
A better love
A better love than me
You deserve a better love
A better love
A better love than me

Caused you so much pain
Pain
This isn't over 'til I say when
When
When

Pale Fire

Pale Fire

Never grow tired of this pale, pale fire
Never grow tired of this pale, pale fire
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Never get out of this pale, pale fire
Never get out of this pale, pale fire
Never grow tired of this pale, pale fire

Years ago
But I can remember
How it had me go
Out of my way
Long ago
But I still remember
Don't you know there's an ember always aglow
When love calls
Oh I come

Never grow tired of this pale, pale fire
Never grow tired of this pale, pale fire

Was this boy
I try not to remember
He had me go
All out of reach
Years ago
But I still remember
Don't you know I will never be what I was before
When love calls
Oh I run

Do you run for it
Do you run
Do you run for it
Do you run

Never grow tired of this pale, pale fire
Never grow tired of this pale, pale fire
Never get out of this pale, pale fire
Never grow tired of this pale, pale fire

Never grow tired of this pale, pale fire
Never grow tired of this pale, pale fire
Never grow tired of this pale, pale fire...

Hold Off The Dawn

Is there a way, a way, a way, a way to hold off the dawn
Is there a way, a way, a way, a way to hold off the dawn
Is there a way, a way, a way, a way when all hope is gone
Is there a way, a way, a way, a way to hold back the dawn

No need to talk about the future, baby
You don't need to talk about that
All I need to know is about you and me, baby
We can make a better past

You can run away, away, away, away, run away
From the day, the day, the day, the day, from the day
See you're my future, the future
When there's no future

Is there a way, a way, a way, a way to hold off the dawn
Is there a way, a way, a way, a way to hold off the dawn
Is there a way, a way, a way, a way when all hope is gone
Is there a way, a way, a way, a way to hold back the dawn

Here comes another day to go nowhere
It's just another day to go nowhere

Ain't no need to talk about the future, baby
We don't need to talk like that
All I got to know is about you and me, baby
Can we make a new past

If you run away, away, away, away, run away
From the day, the day, the day, the day, from the day

You're my future
My future

Is there a way, a way, a way, a way to hold off the dawn
Is there a way, a way, a way, a way to hold off the dawn
Is there a way, a way, a way, a way when all hope is gone
Is there a way, a way, a way, a way to hold back the dawn
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Is there a way, a way, a way, a way to hold off the dawn
Here comes another day to go nowhere
Is there a way, a way, a way, a way to hold off the dawn
It's just another day to go nowhere
Is there a way, a way, a way, a way when all hope is gone
Here comes another day to go nowhere
Is there a way, a way, a way, a way to hold back the dawn
It's just another day to go nowhere

Here comes another day to go nowhere
Is there a way, a way, a way, a way to hold off the dawn
It's just another day to go nowhere
Ain't no need to talk about the future, baby
We don't need to talk about that
All I got to know is about you and me, baby
Can we make a new past
And we run away

Home Is To Feel Like That

I just had to see you
I just had to see you off
Oh, the car is leaving now

I Carry The Fire

I once lived with my eyes on the ground
No need for nothing there
Perceived with my eyes on the ground
There was enough to believe in

You once had the power
That's useless on me now
Now I carry the fire
The fire commands the hour
The fire commands the hour

Once lived with my eyes on the ground
No need for nothing else
Believed with my eyes on the ground
When there's nothing to believe in
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
You once had the power
That's useless on me now
Now I carry the fire
The fire commands
The fire commands the hour

You once had the power
Now I carry the fire
You once had the power
Now I carry the fire
 The fire commands
 The fire commands
 The fire commands
The fire commands the hour

You once had the power
That's useless, sorry now
Now I carry the fire
 The fire commands
 The fire commands
The fire commands the hour

Walk On By

["Paris Is Burning" documentary sample]
You've left a mark on the world
If you just get through it
And a few people remember your name
Then you've left a mark
You don't have to bend the whole world
I think it's better to just enjoy it
Pay your dues and enjoy it
If you shoot an arrow and it goes real high
Hooray for you

Solitude's my best friend
The only one who sees me cry
It tells me I will never need another man
If I keep my head up and walk on by

Solitude, my best friend
I trust you, you will never let me down
You tell me I'll be better off not wondering why
He messed my head up
Now I walk on by

Solitude's my best friend
And if I want to cry
It tells me I'll be happier living without
That I should turn my heart off
And stop waste my time

Solitude, my best friend
When I'm asking why
You tell me I'll be better off not finding out
So I keep my head up and I walk on by
So I keep my head up and I walk on by
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Better not wonder
Better not cry
Better not wonder
Better not cry
Better not wonder
Better not cry
Better not wonder
Better walk by

Better not wonder
Better not cry
Better not wonder
Better not cry
Better not wonder
Better not cry
Better not wonder
Better walk by

I keep my head up
And I walk on by

Better not wonder
Better not cry
Better not wonder
Better not cry
Better not wonder
Better not cry
Better not wonder
Better walk by

I keep my head up
And I walk on by

Better not wonder
Better not cry
Better not wonder
Better not cry
Better not wonder
Better not cry
Better not wonder
Better walk by

Love In Vain

I admit the summer
I admit the fall
I admit the sunlight
I'm the first of all
But I'm not wasting time
No, not on love
See I never thought it would get me so

Love in vain, love's in vain
Love in vain

It's been like that for some time
Can I do it some more?
I am meant for a better life
And I need control

I admit the summer
I admit the rain
I admit the sunlight
But I'll never love again
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Love in vain, love's in vain
Love in vain
I mean it for all time
Yeah, I mean it for real
I need no more pain
Love in vain, love in vain
Love's in vain

Love in vain, love's in vain
Love in vain

Love in vain, love's in vain
Love in vain
I mean it for all time
Yeah, I mean it for real
I need no more pain
Love in vain, love in vain
Love's in vain...

To The Beat Of A Dying World

Does it take a foreign place
Don't want to feel lonely
Don't want to feel lonely

Take it step by step
For a little moment
Don't want to feel lonely
Don't want to feel

I got to move, got to move, got to move
To the beat of a dying world, oh oh
I got to move, got to move, got to move
To the beat of a dying world, oh, oh, oh
To the beat of a dying world

Is it real enough
Is this real enough for you

Real enough for you
Move

Does it take a foreign place
Don't want to feel lonely
Don't want to feel lonely

Got to move so it won't follow me home
There's nothing I can lose

I Was A Boy

Didn't you know I was a boy before you came
I was a boy didn't you know before you came
Didn't you know I was my own before you came
I was my own did'n't you know before you came
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I was a boy, I was a boy, before you came
It didn't show but I was a boy before you came
I was a boy, it didn't show before you came
Yes I was a sire before the fire, before your world
I was a boy, I was a boy, then I was your girl
Yes I was a sire before the fire, before your world
I was a boy, I was a boy, then I was your girl

I was born a sailor
Dreamed what I was made of
I was born a soldier
The sea rolled past my shoulder
I ruled land and water
Unlike no one's daughter
I was a discoverer
And my best friend was my brother

I was born a sailor
Dreamed what I was made of
I was born a soldier
The sea rolled past my shoulder
I ruled land and water
My best friend was my brother

Endless Ways

Once upon a time I was fine
The way I was born
And I never thought to hide from my eyes
The way I was, shape and form

I had an excellent idea
To be more than I could be
To work out and disappear
This excellent idea
Became more than a lifestyle
For endless days

Endless ways to better myself
Endless ways to better myself
Endless ways to better myself

Endless ways to better myself
Endless ways to better myself
Take this chance and make the best of myself

I think I was too softly defined
I wish I was all pure
The goal I have is carved in my mind
Perfection is hard, will is all

I have an exquisite idea
To be more like in my dreams
To fade out, then reappear
This exquisite idea
Will take more than a lifetime
Endless days
(Endless ways to better myself)

Endless ways to better myself
Endless ways to better myself
Endless ways to better myself
In the real world did you copy and paste too?
Endless ways to better yourself
Endless ways to better myself
Take this chance and make the best of myself

(Endless ways to better myself
Endless ways to better myself)

Endless ways to better myself
Endless ways to better myself
Endless ways to better myself

Endless ways to better yourself
Endless ways to better yourself
Take this chance and make the best of yourself

(Endless ways to better yourself
Endless ways to better yourself)

So long years when I was wack
I don't dare to look back
Oh, I admit I didn't know
Where I was gonna go

The smallest things of what you do
Feels like my dreams have come true
Like I would never have thought
It runs in me 'til I die

Runs in the blood 'til the day that I die
'Til I die
Runs in the blood 'til the day that I die
In the real world did you copy and paste too?
Runs in the blood 'til the day that I die
Runs in the blood 'til the day that I die

Louis 'til death
Mine I 'til death
Rule me 'til death
Until my last breath

Ah, Louis 'til death
Mine 'til death
Rule me 'til death
Louis 'til I die

Done away with needless doubts
I don't live for those heights
And only really go where I wanna go

One single look at you
The scheme of things follow through
And in my blood I know
You run with me 'til I die
'Til I die

Runs in the blood 'til the day that I die
Runs in the blood 'til the day that I die

Runs in the blood 'til the day that I die
Runs in the blood 'til the day that I die

Runs in the blood 'til the day that I die
Runs in the blood 'til the day that I die

Louis 'til death
Mine I 'til death
Rule me 'til death
Until my last breath

Runs in the blood 'til the day that I die
Runs in the blood 'til the day that I die

Ah, Louis 'til death
Mine 'til death
Rule me 'til death
Louis 'til I die

Clean Your Window

Clean your window
Clean it off, clean it all
Leave your mirror
Look out there and don't be scared
In the real world did you copy and paste too?
I know you, you wanna follow where everybody goes
And be told what to think and what not
It matters but you don't know, it matters more than you know
If you shed some light because ignorance grows in the dark
Can you go

Clean your window
Your views are old
They gotta go

Clean your window
They gotta go or you'll never know

Clean this window
Your news are old
They gotta go

Clean your window
You'll never grow if they don't go
No

Bliss is not you know
To be small to the soul
Be a window
To what's there
Free your head

Now
I know you, you wanna go, go where everybody goes
And be told what to say and what not
It matters but you don't know, it matters more than you know
So just share some light because ignorance grows in the dark

Clean your window
Your views are old
They gotta go

Clean your window
They gotta go or you'll never know

Clean this window
Your news are old
They gotta go

Clean your window
You'll never grow if they don't go

Clean your window
Your views are old
They gotta go

Clean your window
They gotta go or you'll never know

Clean this window
Your news are old
They gotta go

Clean your window
You'll never grow if they don't go

Fight For Life

Life underwater
A roof on the rain
Facing the dark
Crossing a border
A crashing airplane
An end or a start

Aim to live the will to fight for life
Will to breathe and aim to be alive
Aim to live the will to fight for life
Fight the fight for life

Aim to live the will to fight for life
Will to go through anything for life
Aim to live the will to fight for life
Find out you're alive

Mention your dead weight ??
An ocean sighs
Bend of the knees
Like, dragging the holes out
The present and past
?? of defeat

Aim to live the will to fight for life
Will to breathe and aim to stay alive
Aim to live the will to fight for life
Fight the fight for life

Aim to live the will to fight for life
Will to go through anything for life
Aim to live the will to fight for life
Find out you're alive

Aim to live the will to fight for life
Will to suffer anything for life
Aim to live the will to fight for life
You're fighting fight for life

Freedom Is A State Of Mind

Freedom is a state of mind
When you look it, you'll get burnt
Freedom is a state of mind
To each dream, to lose your fight
Freedom is a privilege
Heading out with out of reach
Freedom is a state of power
The western world is in denial

Freedom is a state of mind
??
'Cause freedom is a giant world
Tall enough to break a heart
Freedom is a private club
The guest is written down in blood
Freedom is a state of power
The western world is in denial

Each Man To His Own

A hundred years ago
I would have known
I would have known
I would have known today

I was thinking
We'd go wiser
We'd go wiser
We'd go wiser more than us

Oh here I am
Just waiting
Anticipating
Anticipating for better days

Now all I want to do
Is throw my phone
Is throw my phone in the air

??
Each man to his own
??
Each man to his own

A hundred years ago
I could have seen
I could have seen
I could have seen a change

??
I'd recognize
I'd recognize more than ??

I know you like to think
We've got it made
We've got it made
Oh we've got so much made

But all of that's a waste
We've got faith
We've got faith to ??

Each man to his own
??
Each man to his own

Each man to his own
??
Each man to his own

Each man to his own
Each man to his own
Each man to his own

Life Is Full Of Rewards

The way of thinking is quite alright
The way of thinking is working all the time
I make leaps of logic every day in my mind

Find a red thread, make it stick, walk around
It'd be following me
I walk into it, I walk into it, I walk into it
With my mind open

The way of being is pretty wild
The way of being is happening all the time
Become surprised every day of your life
Keep the door open

It'd be following you
If you walk into it, if you walk into it, if you walk into it
With your eyes open
With your eyes open

Life is full of rewards
Life is full of rewards
Life is full of rewards
Life is full of rewards
Life is full of rewards

Dreamers Change The World

Measure me by numbers
Measure me by likes
Treat me like a business
Use me to chill out

I am one of those who sits
Wasting all my time
But I'm also one of those you hold
As the icing on your life

Value me by my triumphs
Value me by greed
The bigger, the better, pushing forward yeah
'Cause that's what you can see

I am one of those you call
Dreamers, useless, fools
Yeah I may be a dreamer
Just don't call me a fool

''Cause dreamers, dreamers change the world
Dreamers change, change the world
Dreamers, dreamers change the world
Dreamers change, change the world...

EXIT

("David Bowie: The Last Five Years" documentary sample)

Never work for other people
Never work for other people
Always remember that the reason that you initially started working was that there was something inside yourself
That if you could manifest it in some way, you would understand more about yourself
You would understand more about yourself
And how you co-exist with the rest of society
I think it's terribly dangerous for an artist to fulfill other people's expectations
I think it's terribly dangerous for an artist to fulfill other people's expectations
The other thing I would say is that if you feel safe in the area that you're working in, you're not working in the right area
Always go a little further into the water than you feel you're capable of being in
And when you don't feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you're just about in the right place to do something exciting
You're just about in the right place to do something exciting

Suburban Dreams

Wait for days
Plans made
You wait
For change
'Til change
Is too late

That's why you cry
Your suburban dreams
Gone to waste
It's the scariest thing
Gone to nothing
Gone away

You wait
For days
All well-behaved
As you wait
For time
Until time
Has run out

Is that why you run
Your suburban dreams
Got you down
It's the scariest thing
See all gone to nothing
All gone away

Look at you cry
All suburban dreams
Go away
It's a terrible thing
How all go to nothing
All go away
Go away

Thought I was going places
Thought I was going far
Thought I was going places
I was going far

Thought I was going places
Thought I was going far
Thought I was going places

In Silence

What's so important about time
You never come see me
What's so important about life
I wish you would talk to me

Your silence makes me silent
In blankness do I roam
Forever in your dreams
I found a way to get to you alone

Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone

This silence made me silent
In blackness do I roam
Forever in your dreams
I'm bound to walk aimlessly alone

Was I important to you, girl
Forgetting me seemed easy
I'm only asking for a word
Plese, don't keep me hanging

In silence I am silent
In blankness do I roam
Forever in your dreams
I found a way to get to you alone

This silence made me silent
In blankness do I roam
Forever in your dreams
I'm bound to walk aimlessly alone

Alone
Alone
Alone
Alone

Do you see
Do you see
How easy
How easy
How easy you deny me

Do you see
How easy
You deny me and my name

Between You And Me Nothing

Why do I come here
Why do I keep returning
It's not you haunting me
It's my mind disturbing

Why do I come here
Why do I keep returning
It's not you haunting me
It's my mind disturbing

Disturbing peace
Disturbing peace
Disturbing dreams

Please Stay

If I got on my knees
And I pleaded with you
Not to go but to stay in my arms
Would you walk out the door
Like you did once before
This time be different
Please stay, don't go

If I called out your name like a prayer
Would you leave me alone in my tears
Knowing I need you so
Would you still turn and go
This time be different
Please stay, don't go
Please stay

I loved you before
I even knew your name
And I wanted to give you my heart
But now you came back after leaving me one time
Oh I knew
Oh how I knew
That the heartaches would start

If I called out your name like a song
That was written for you, you alone
Would you still hurt my pride, baby that I cried
This time be different
Please stay, don't go
Please stay

One More Time

When it's my turn
I'll be on my knees
I'll be on my knees begging

When it's my turn
I'll be on my knees
I'll be on my knees begging

For one more
One more time
One more time
With you

Give me that moment
One more time
That moment
In time
With you

All I ever did
I did for you

When it's my turn
I'll be on my knees
I'll be on my knees pleading

Forgive me
For having something else
Always something else
On my mind but you

Give me one more
One more time
Just one more time
With you

Please forgive me
For having something else
On my mind
But you

Give me one more
One more time
Just one more time
With you

Give me one more
One more time
Just one more time
With you

Wipe Me off This Earth

'Round 'round 'round 'round wipe me off this earth
'Round 'round 'round 'round wipe me off this earth
Put me down down down til I'm wiped off of this earth
'Round 'round 'round 'round wipe me off, wipe me off

This earth has a bond with death
What seems like disorder is divine order
Like music, like music
Don't cry, don't cry

'Round 'round 'round 'round wipe me off this earth
'Round 'round 'round 'round wipe me off this earth
Put me down, down, deep down 'til I'm wiped off of this earth
'Round 'round 'round 'round wipe me off, wipe me off

This life has a deal with time
What seems like confusion is coordinated
It's like water, like water
And it flows, we flow

'Round 'round 'round 'round wipe me off this earth
'Round 'round 'round 'round wipe me off this earth
Put me down, down, deep down 'til I'm wiped off of this earth
'Round 'round 'round 'round wipe me off, wipe me

Just like music, like music

Kiss of Death

Grief don't just grow away, grow away
It's engraved in me, I tell myself
I tell myself to not give in
To keep it close like a memory
And not all things leave
I tell myself to tell myself

I'm living with the kiss of death
I'm giving despite the kiss of death
I'm not living like it is a threat
The kiss of death

Tears fall lesser now, lesser now
The guilt it leaves, I can't live with it
I can't live for you
It's the love that remains
So I tell myself, I tell myself

I'm living with the kiss of death
I'm giving despite the kiss of death
I'm not living like it is a threat
The kiss of death

I'm living with the kiss of death
I'm giving despite the kiss of death
I'm not living like it is a threat
The kiss of death

Breaking The Girl

(Red Hot Chili Peppers cover)

I am a man
Cut from the know
Rarely do friends
Come and then go
She was a girl
Soft but estranged
We were the two
Our lives rearranged

Feeling so good that day
A feeling of love that day

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

Raised by my dad
Girl of the day
He was my man
That was the way
She was the girl
Left alone
Feeling the need
To make me her home

I don't know what, when or why
The twilight of love had arrived

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
(You're breaking the girl)
She meant you no harm (no harm, no harm)
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
(You're breaking the girl)
He loves no one else (no one else, no one else)

Twisting, twisting, twisting

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
(You're breaking the girl)
She meant you no harm (no harm, no harm)
Think you're so clever
But now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
(You're breaking the girl)
He loves no one else (no one else, no one else)

You're breaking the girl

Evening Surrender

(Chad Valley feat. El Perro Del Mar / Young Hunger LP)

Hold back, it's not your fault you're lonely
And I know how you feel
And all that I did wrong was not to call you
I know you can go right back to the start
In your world, yeah I know how it goes
When you're this good to me
My baby it's all for sure, yeah

You know I want to do this together
You know I want to go far
You know I want to do this together
You know I want to go far

You know I want to do this together
You know I want to go far
You know I want to do this together
You know I want to go far

Boy yeah, I'm on the defense
I'm way gone, I don't know what I said
And to your own dismay, my baby is all I have
And yeah I know, you're so excited
That you go, that you go
You know that it's true 'bout what they say
And I wanna say, all I want is you, yeah

You know I want to do this together
You know I want to go far
You know I want to do this together
You know I want to go far

You know I want to do this together
You know I want to go far
You know I want to do this together
You know I want to go far

Familiar Skies

(No Science feat. El Perro Del Mar / Lucky Resident LP)

Sometimes I think about
The day when I met you
I knew for sure we would
Be trouble all along

Some people you have to
Have to believe in
Although everything
Although everything is right

It would be easier
Being friends this time
Everything was upside down
Everyone was friend but fall

It would be easier
Being friends this time
Someone is here to stay
That makes it all worthwhile

Some days I think about
The day when I met you
I knew for sure we would
Be trouble all along

Some people you have to
Have to believe in
Although everything
Although everything is wrong
'Cause in the end
Not much is worth it
Except the familiar voice
Familiar skies of ?
Familiar skies of ?
Familiar skies of ?
Familiar skies of ?
Familiar skies of ?

Fångad Av En Stormvind

(Carola Häggkvist cover)

Jag har aldrig slutat tro
Att efter varje natt väntar gryningen
Fast jag inte kan förstå
Så finns det tid för skratt när jag börjar om igen

Känner doften från en stilla ocean
Plötsligt står jag i en levande orkan

Jag är fångad av en stormvind
Fast för dig
Ingenting kan hindra mig
När det blåser i mitt hjärta
Fångad av en stormvind
Natt och dag
Här finns bara du och jag
Och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar

Det är dags att ge sig av
Stunder som har flytt kommer aldrig mer
Reser ut på öppet hav
Där allting blir som nytt
I den framtid som du ger

Utan saknad lämnar jag min trygga hamn
Fri men ändå bunden till en öppen famn

Jag är fångad av en stormvind
Fast för dig
Ingenting kan hindra mig
När det blåser i mitt hjärta
Fångad av en stormvind
Natt och dag
Här finns bara du och jag
Och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar

Jag är fångad av en stormvind
Fast för dig
Ingenting kan hindra mig
När det blåser i mitt hjärta
Fångad av en stormvind
Natt och dag
Här finns bara du och jag
Och det ljus som himlen lämnat kvar

Hangin' On A Limb

(Neil Young cover / Richard Reagh feat. El Perro Del Mar / Extended Play EP)

Though the river flowed
Gently to the sea
He was on the shore
Rooted like a tree
She was here and there
Riding on the waves
Through it all she heard his call
And gave it all she gave

And though their love
Was hangin' on a limb
She taught him how to dance
She taught him how to dance
And start again
And though their love
Was hangin' on a limb
She taught him how to dance
She taught him how to dance

And when the melody
Through the window called
It echoed in the courtyard
And whispered in the hall
He played it through the night
She knew he had to go
There was something about freedom
He thought he didn't know

And though their love
Was hangin' on a limb
She taught him how to dance
She taught him how to dance
And start again
And though their love
Was hangin' on a limb
She taught him how to dance
She taught him how to dance

And though their love
Was hangin' on a limb
She taught him how to dance
She taught him how to dance

I Got You Babe

(Sonny Bono cover)

They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
Well, I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me and, baby, I got you

Babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe

They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned, our money's all been spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a plot
At least I'm sure of all the things we got

Babe
I got you, babe
I got you, babe

I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared, you're always around

So let them say your hair's too long
'Cause I don't care, with you I can't go wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb

Babe
I got you, babe

I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand

I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand

I Would Die 4 U

(Prince cover)

One thing I'd like to say is that
I don't live in a prison
I am not afraid of anything
I haven't built any walls around myself
And I am just like anyone else
I need love and water
And I don't really consider myself a superstar
I live in a small town and I always will
'Cause I can walk around and
That's all I want to be and that's all I ever tried to be
I didn't know what was gonna happen
I'm just trying to do my best and if somebody dug it and
[Prince's interview for MTV]

I'm not a woman
I'm not a man
I am something that you'll never understand

I'll never beat you
I'll never lie
And if you're evil I'll forgive you by and by

'Cause you - I would die for you
Darling, if you want me too
You - I would die for you

I'm not your lover
I'm not your friend
I am something that you'll never comprehend

No need to worry
No need to cry
I'm your messiah and you're the reason why

'Cause you - I would die for you
Darling, if you want me too
You - I would die for you

You're just a sinner I am told
Be your fire when you're cold
Make you happy when you're sad
Make you good when you are bad

I'm not a human, I am a dove
I'm your conscious, I am love
All I really need is to know that you believe

Yeah I would die for you
Darling, if you want me too
You - I would die for you

Oh you - I would die for you
Darling, if you want me too
You - I would die for you

Säg Nej Till Mig

(Kristian Anttila feat. El Perro Del Mar)

Under en himmel av bly
På ett av alla svarta klot
Livet är fult
Och jag sjunger så fint jag kan

Berusad på sagor och sång
Vinden blåser ditt håll
Är helare nu men ändå nånstans halv

Under ett galler av moln
I filmen utan lyckligt slut
Livet är fult
Och jag sjunger så fint jag kan

Sitter packad på minnen och damm
Dom rop som aldrig nått fram
Är helare nu men ändå nånstans halv

Och med ett leende ?
I samförstånd eller döden
Vet jag vi kommer gå isär

Nån gång, så säg
Nej, till mig
Innan jag hinner fastna i dig

Säg nej
Till mig
Innan jag hinner fastna i dig

Och med ett leende ?
I samförstånd eller döden
Vet jag vi kommer gå isär

Nån gång, så säg
Nej, till mig
Innan jag hinner fastna i dig

Säg nej
Till mig
Innan jag hinner fastna i dig

Say

Shelter

(The XX cover / Live)

I find shelter in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear when I say
I have never felt this way

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Could I be
Was I there
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown
Whenever you leave
Please teach me gently
How to breathe

And I'll cross oceans like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I seel it too

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Said
Wrong
Better
On

Said
Wrong
Better
On

Said
Wrong
Better
On

The Bells

The bells are ringing
The bells all over this land
Ring for our love

The night is watching us
The colors pink and blue
Wrapped around me and you

The bells are calling out
To the moon and the stars
Singing shine on the love that is ours

The bells are ringing
'Til everyone in this land
Knows about our love

The clouds all blown away
They don't wanna be in the way
Way of our wedding day

The bells are calling out
To the moon and the stars
Singing shine on the love that is ours

The bells are calling out
To the moon and the stars
Singing shine on the love that is ours

I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
Baby, I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
Baby, I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
Baby, I can't wait 'til tomorrow
I can't
Baby, I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Baby, I can't wait 'til tomorrow
Tomorrow
