invites you in and holds some dark moods and atmospheres which is perfect for some high quality time in your own company. A great late night companion! Viktor Sjöberg started recording his music around 1995 experimenting with what hip-hop might be and become, and soon using field recordings and record sampling in his ambient activities. He is a member of Jens Lekman’s live band and is currently travelling the world with him.Let’s hear what the man himself has to say about the album. "Words are kind of tricky. This might actually be one of the instances where words are redundant, but I'm on a train right now and the activities available are somewhat limited.So, here goes; Jazz. :: By letting people know that you are not part of a something, for instance a "musical movement", you are automatically letting yourself be controlled by the thing that you claim to have no connection to. In other words, a negated reference is still very much a reference and one should be aware of the fact that by making a statement such as "this is not one of those tired testosterone-fuelled free jazz records" you are inviting the connection between your work and the very thing that you are trying to avoid. Perhaps even more importantly, you are letting yourself be defined by what you're not. This all sounds quite serious. I could follow this up by writing that "this is not a manifesto", but by now we all know that saying that would kind of turn it into one. Yeah. The album that we have recorded is called "Do nothing 'til you hear from me" and it contains five variations on one musical theme. It is a jazz album and I hope that you will enjoy it" // Viktor Sjöberg

You gotta let me know (let me know)
Is it real or is it just for show (just for show), yeah
Baby don't let me go
All of this struggle I've seen in my life
Call me crazy it all started takin' a toll
My flow is butter baby talkin' shea butter
Not the one that you put on a roll
They gotta look out while I'm out on the road
It ain't no question if she finna ride
That's the reason that I'm keepin' her close
Yeah, close to me baby, uh (please stay close)
Close to me baby, yeah (please stay close)
Close to me baby, no (next to me)
Close to me baby, yeah (by my side)
Close to me baby, oh (by my side)
Close to me baby, oh (by my side)
Close to me baby, oh yeah (please stay close to me baby)
To the top, never stop (ya)
I've been in the mix cookin' in the pot (oh)
Runnin' from the cup I won't never walk (oh)
Lightnin' in my flows and they gettin' shocked (oh)
'Bout to rage go insane
Read 'em all up like a book and I'm 'bout to turn the page
I've been in the clouds I've been pourin' rain
Jus' know by the end they gon' know my name (yeah)
But they wanna fold on me
Stab me in my back you don't want war with me
Look me in the eyes and tell me what you see
But please stay by my side because this world's lonely
Baby don't let me go (let me go)
You gotta let me know (let me know)
Is it real or is it just for show (just for show), yeah yeah
Baby don't let me, go
All of this struggle I've seen in my life
Call me crazy it all started takin' a toll
My flow is butter baby talkin' shea butter
Not the one that you put on a roll
I keep my enemies closer than friends
They gotta look out while I'm out on the road
It ain't no question if she finna ride
That's the reason that I'm keepin' her close
Yeah, close to me baby, uh (please stay close)
Close to me baby, yeah (please stay close)
Close to me baby, no (next to me)
Close to me baby, yeah (by my side)
Close to me baby, oh (by my side)
Close to me baby, oh (by my side)
Close to me baby, oh yeah (please stay close to me baby)
Don't let me go I'm alone on my own
Don't let me go on my own all alone
Rise up, like the most high
The light, blindin' my eyes
Let go, I put my hands to the sky
In "Close," the V. Sjöberg New Jazz Ensemble creates a romantic and soothing atmosphere, urging you to close your eyes for the duration of the song. The lyricist speaks directly to the object of their affection, telling them that they are going to redefine love for them by doing all the things that their previous partner never did. They are going to treat their current partner right and ensure they are never in the limelight. Furthermore, the two met on the basketball court, so they never fall whenever they are in sync. The lyricist reminds their lover that they are "their lil dime" and urges them not to complain about their life. Amidst all of this, the lyricist acknowledges that they struggle with knowing what they want to do with their lover but concede that they know they want them.
The lyrics to "Close" convey emotions of love, comfort, and genuineness. The song is a reminder that someone is always there for you and is willing to redefine love in their relationship.
