At live performances he'd often be accompanied by dear friend, Lina Yvesand on vocals and keyboards. Recording mainly all tracks at home, by himself, Lindgren gained the Swedish indie scene's attention for his concise and uptempo beat pop songs in the early noughties. A seven-inch record compiling songs from 2001-2003 was issued on Halmstad's Heavenly pop hits label in March, 2004. A handful of demo cdr-s and mp3s are also circulating on various p2p networks. The self enforced motto of this once d.i.y. idealist was "short songs finish first", which by all accounts remains true.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't listen to those sunday (funday) mornings
Oh, they remind me of the night you cried and cried
And your face was red and sore
And nothing i said was any help at all

I'd do anything to take that knife again
