about

"Remake" from the forthcoming album "Skebobruk session" (release Sep 2014), was recorded in a huge house, with a brewery and a pub in the basement. The house was also haunted, you can ask our lead singer Martin about that.

We headed 50 minutes north of Stockholm with 2 cars packed to the max, instruments, budget microphones, cables, stands and a tired pc lap top to record on. But what a room! The view, the windows, the sound and also, that ghost.

The song "Remake" is about opening your eyes and trying to change your path, or else your life will become a remake that no one likes.

Take care friends and take a stand,against hate and ignorance. Don´t let others decide what you think.

We hope to see you at our shows, and remember you can always ask Martin about that ghost.

Lots of love,
The Ballroom Band

lyrics

"Remake", lyrics by Pelle Andersson

Have you ever been there? Where the cold streets calling?
Have you ever been there? Where truth keeps on growing?
I have been to all these places. Some were rough and some were not too bad.
I have worn out a lot of shoes, on my way to hide from the truth.

Will I ever be, the one I used to be?

Yeah, if you go on, go on and try to let it go.
But if you hold on, hold on. You will never move on.
Not to the left, not to the right.
Your life becomes a remake that no one likes.

If you ever will be there, where those cold streets calling.
And ever if you will be there, where truth keep on growing.
And when you've been to all those places,
then you will know what I´m really talking about.
I have bought myself a new pair of shoes.
And I´ve stopped hiding from the truth.

Will I ever be, the one I used to be?

Yeah, if you go on, go on and try to let it go.
But if you hold on, hold on. You will never move on.
Not to the left, not to the right.
Your life becomes a remake that no one likes.
