Eight songs to unmistakable lyrics by Tage Danielsson. Tina Ahlin's tone has elements of both jazz and wise. Some of the songs can be performed a cappella, others with accompaniment (chord analysis).

From Tina Ahlin's foreword:
"Certainly one is enchanted by Tage's poetry. These are words that twist and turn, color and shape, illuminate in a truly brilliant way. Tage managed to transform the trivial and dull in an everyday kitchen into shimmering magic! How a thawing package glistens, how the pepper playfully drizzles over the fish and how the dishwasher yearns for the dishes.
And how comforting are the lines in "Don't just think about right now": Wait quietly for the dawn. In the dark hold my hand. Towards the shore wanders soft and strong, the long calm swell.
"Thinking freely is great. Rethinking is bigger.” Tage even allowed the idea to go ahead of the rest of us on vacation. . . "Now the tank dresses up in a summer suit, and hangs up the brooding jacket."
I have chosen here some of the poems that I thought already sounded like music in their language. As Tage himself wrote in the poem "Avsked", a melody of language. Hope you will be as enchanted as I am!” - Tina
