Story Behind The Song

It was written to my nephew, who was about to drift into a mental decease that, sadly enough, eventually drove him to commit suicide.

Song Description

A long night in our summer cottage. Talking about heavy matters and getting close though we´we known each other all life. Cried while writing this.

Lyrics

Talked All Night
Lyrics and music © Lars Thornblad
We talked about eternal life
And how to make it through till tomorrow

Like a king of a better place - You smiled with grace
But I could see a trace of an infant child in that little smile

You came cracking up - just strong enough
You kept proving - so sad grooving - that the world was out of place
Cause you thought you knew

And we talked all night
Cause talking felt right
We really felt so tight - with the moon on our side
Though the answers blew in the wind that night
We talked for the first time in our lives - We talked for the first time in our lives

Your legs were shaking and you world about to fall
You only knew one way - just one way to stop it all

We flickered through your state of mind
You showed me your bones - and I showed you mine
We´ve never been that close before

You opened up a private line - it was crystalball June
Revealed to me your state of mind - and out of the blue
You came cracking up - but now strong enough
You kept grooving - that we were moving - into your secret place
Just me and you

And we talked all night
Had nothing to hide
Yes we moved in tight - with nothing to hide
Though the answers blew in the wind that night
We touched with the edges of our knives - We talked for the first time in our lives

And we talked all night
Cause talkings allright
We talked for the first time in our lifes
We really talked - for the first time in our lifes
We talked - for the first time in our lifes
