Closing Time
"Closing Time" will be released digitally and is expected to be available for download and streaming on the most popular online services from November 19, 2021.
"Closing Time" is not a funny song. My good friend, Ole Svensson at 84, has sent me one of his lyrics and asked me to add music. The song is a sad story about getting old and lonely, losing your closest friends and your loved one and not having that much more to live for.
I was very inspired and have composed the music for these verses. During the process, I felt that I needed a singer who could interpret the mood of Ole Svensson's poems and here the choice fell naturally on Henning Høeg. With his personal sound and empathy, Henning Høeg has added a special atmosphere to the song, which fits very well with the song's message: We are all getting older and for those of us who live the longest, the "gain" from it can be loneliness and loss of loved ones.
This single belongs to a series of Country & Blues tracks that will culminate in an album releasing spring of 2022 in which I pay tribute to my musical role models and my roots, which have enriched my musical life. Music captured my mind at a very young age and set me on the path to becoming a performing artist and, later, a hopeful composer trying to follow in the footsteps of the great masters.
I hope you like this little piece of music that has given me so much joy to create.
Music is my life and surprises me every day with new inspirations and inventions.
I would like to thank you, my family, friends, and all the musicians who have supported me through this travel. None of us got to where we are alone.
