Don't save it for the weekend

(Laura Åkerblom)

I wrote this one evening when I had been out for drinks with a bunch of creatives from a huge advertising agency. At work, they had all been so scared to let go and be silly. But after a few drinks, they all let their hair down. I've never managed to hide my silliness or dorkiness, and I'm grateful for that. So I guess these lyrics are propaganda material for the promotion of more fun, laughter and silliness in the world.

This child inside of me Always trying to break free But not today Today it has to stay Hidden, no time for play Time for work At work we cannot smile We’re professional all the time Why is that? After work they let their hair down After work they act like me Why is that? Why must we act so boring? Why can’t we be ourselves all the time? Enjoy our lives more openly With more innocence and glee Why is that? Don’t save it for the weekend Set your inner child free Every day Make the world a better place Put a smile on someone’s face ‘Cause why not? Brighten up a boring workplace Put an end to weekday dull-face Have some fun When you hear a funny joke Or when someone makes you laugh Don’t hold back Word of warning though, my friends There’s a reason we’re so tense so you know… Someone’s always going to judge you Maybe laugh at you and tease you But, so what? Show those people what they’re missing It’s a different way of thinking And it’s fun Set your inner child free Do whatever makes you smile Be like me Set your inner child free It’s a blast I guarantee Spread the joy Set your inner child free Have a laugh and have some fun Lead the way Set your inner child free Have a laugh and have some fun Every day

The Weatherman

By Laura Åkerblom


We've all been caught in the rain and, at some point in our lives, most of us have gone from looking great to looking like drowned rats very fast. The story in these lyrics happened to a very close friend of mine (a version of it) and I couldn't stop laughing. Which just got her even more upset. Which made me laugh even more.

These basic yet fairly powerful lyrics are slightly open to interpretation. They could relate to prevailing environmental turbulence, political turbulence or a turbulent phase of a relationship.

Just Gotta

By Laura Åkerblom


Written at a party in my own home. Heavy techno music with lots of bass was pumping out of the speakers, guests had arrived and I wasn’t ready. I really wanted to join in and these lyrics popped into my head. I imagined them to catchy bubblegum pop or occasional lyrics on an electronic dance track.

Hate will not spawn our fate

By Jessie Doyle


There was a time I think when the world ran much more peacefully and there weren't wars or violence and material things didn't matter and everything wasn't a competition to see who was better than one another, a time where people helped one another without asking for it that's just what they did because they genuinely felt love and compassion and unity amongst each other, but then something happened along the way that poisoned our hearts and our souls and what was once love, mutated into hate and angst and the urge to destroy one another just to satisfy thier own needs and somehow maybe one day through a miracle we can get back to getting along and living peacefully and happily with each other.
