about

Some relationships are tougher than others when it comes to breaking up. Hard Times, written by our friend Jörgen Kjellgren, is all about that. The frustration, the resignation, hurting each other, the guilty conscience.

We recorded the song in September. The leafs began to turn yellow and brown. We had ended a week-long recording session for our new album. It was Friday and our dear friend Linda Ström came to visit and to join us for an acoustic performance in the brewery pub downstairs. 2 hours before the gig, we came up with this idea about doing 'Hard Times' as a duett. Linda listened to it 3 times, then nailed it in one take!

You can see it on the cover, Martin standing behind her, the sun shines through the big windows. Photographer Hasse Lindén captured the moment.

We think we added even more melancholy and resignation in that moment. Listen and "see" if you can hear it.

Be kind to each other.

Love,
The Ballroom Band
