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.

the Leftout breakup breakdown
Hormones in abundance Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This close ontop of my awareness
That you're no longer loving me
And we're no longer as we've been

It seems so distant to declare this:
I think i've gotten over you
In one way i'm ashamed, but then i

Must say i prefer to let you go,
Erase you out of my conciousness,

To lie here all alone and cry
The choice is rather given, thinking clear
