6.9. 2008 I put some pictures from the studio!!!!


3.9.2008: Hi! It's been a long time. I was in the studio last week and it was great. I'm a bit tired now, but that's ok. I still have to do some vocals but then my Finnish album is ready to go to the master! When it comes from there, I'll put new song up here! It takes about 1-2weeks. Remember, I'M HERE TO MAKE AN ENGLISH ALBUM, so if you like my music become a believer so you'll support that. I sent a few days ago a new song to my believers. I hope they like it. Soon they'll receive a new one! Keep believing!


22.8.2008: Hello everybody. I just came from Russia. I spent my holiday there. Next monday I will start recording my Finnish album. It will be out in the end of septemper or in the beginning of october. That is why I have been a bit passive here in Sellaband. But after I have recorded my Finnish album (which you can buy from me if you want) I will start promoting myself at Sellaband again. I'll also put new songs up here. All of them. So please be patient. I have not forgotten you.


3.8.2008 NEWS: I'll travel to RUSSIA today and I will stay there for 10 days. That means that I'm not able to get in touch with internet 3-13.8.2008. So be patient with my new songs! and keep it cool!

20.7.2008: NEWS: Next weekend 26th-27th my believers will get the new song! I got a bit messed up who received last time the song and who didn't, so the ones who didn't get them, inform me, so I'll send them again.

 

10.6.2008: NEWS: ALL THE BELIEVERS WHO BUY NEW PARTS WILL RECEIVE A NEW SONG INTO THEIR E-MAIL AFTER EVERY SECOND WEEK! ALL THE NEW BELIEVERS WILL GET THE SAME, But only once. After buying new parts, they'll receive more!!


I have a dream! I want to become an praised artist. I know my talent, and I would like to - more than ever - share it with you!

So, I tell you a bit more.

I'm a performing poet/songwriter and music is like water and food to me. I like to go solo, take my guitar, jump into the train and go around to play gigs. I've done over hundred shows since the year 2003. This was also Joni Mitchells way, before she got famous. I have booked the gigs mostly myself, that is why I have found myself in odd situations; at festivals, bars, parties, churches, at the street corners and in different kind of evenings. I have also given my demo to one A&R in front of hundrets of engineers. That happening didn't have successful consequenses, but I did get recognition.

I've had bands, and I have done recordings; demos, singles and EP's. The most important co-operation doing a single was with one famous Finnish  singer/songwriter called Ville Leinonen. Though the outcome was fabulous, I din't get a record deal. I have supported famous Finnish artists like Kauko Röyhkä, Jarkko Martikainen, Laura Sippola, Sansa and Ville Leinonen, who are also songer/songwriters. I have basically walked to them, and asked if I can play before them - exept a few cases. I've worked a lot reaching my goal, and I'll do so in the future as well.

- It's all about love, sings Dave Lindholm (Finnish artist).

My music tells stories, many stories, mainy in Finnish. I'm also a journalist who paints a lot. At the moment I study in Estonia to become a Master of Arts in Social Sciences. That will happen next year. I already got a bachelor degree form the School of Art and Media in Tampere. I have also studied Music. I don't even remember how long and that still continues in different schools. As I told you, music is like food and drink to me, and I want to know more about it.

But that's enough of my background.

I'm afraid that the humanity will dissapear. In my music I aim at trueness ja emotionalism. I want to make skilful lyrics and songs and keep up the freedom of creativity in the arrangements. What sounds right, it may come! I play piano, flute, quitar and harmonica.

I want to play to get people to understand and understand more.

The music media like Rumba, Soundi, www.desibeli.net and www.noise.fi have payed attension for my work as a poet/songwriter. Almost all of them have considered me as a potentional songwriter. Also other newspapers like Pohjolan Sanomat, Lapin Kansa, Torniolainen and Tamperelainen have written about me.

So this was about the artist called Louna. More you can find from www.myspace.com/lounamusic or www.lounamusic.com Keep it cool, ok?

Blog

My blog starts below these lyrics in English. I translated them if someone wants to know what I'm singing about.

Don't come near me

(I'm sorry if the language sounds weird, but my mother language is Finnish)


I'm swimming in the middle of the lake

My soles wounded

Your world's mind

Is my thinking's language


Bashful of badass

I'm only a human being

Even begging like a child

to get in the lab of tenderness


Don't come near me
if you're afraid of storms

The ground is bumping
I cannot lay hands on the walls
There are shadows everywere
I creep behind the door

Screamingly crying
Shed the bad blod, shed
I want to beat with my fists
I want to hit furiously

Don't come near me
if you're afraid of storms

But we start laughing
If we can play even a bit
And answer yes, to all questions
displayed by our loved ones

Don't come near me
if you're afraid of storms
There's an ocean inside of me
And the breakers make disaster


To speak with you

To speak with you
How wonderful it can be
I will soak up everything
I ever wanted,
I warn you off

Deeper than the depths of the seas
There I crave
Beyond the depths of the forests
There I thirts for
Another dimension
Black outreach
There it is

You lead and I follow
Please do not vanish now, do not vanish now
You teach me and I listen
Please do not hush now, please do not hush no
You listen and I tell
Please do not stop now, please do not stop now

To speak with you
How wonderful it can be
To be almost a grown up
And feel the pain of responsiobilities

To wake up,
Eyes heavy as stones
To fell a sleep
Mind still working
Another dimension
Black outreach
There it is

You lead and I follow
Please do not vanish now, do not vanish now
You teach me and I listen
Please do not hush now, please do not hush no
You listen and I tell
Please do not stop now, please do not stop now

There we go
There we come from
If we still believe
Here and now,
Else I'm boared with,
So, so tired

You lead and I follow
Please do not vanish now, do not vanish now
You teach me and I listen
Please do not hush now, please do not hush no
You listen and I tell
Please do not stop now, please do not stop now

Ecstacy

I gaze the image moving
I see everything through a fog
I float from spot to another
Not realizing, they go by

I want to be near you
At least in your presence
Although, the most
I'd like to shut myself in you

I feel your body moving
hearing every sentence you say
I know your intentions,
Sensing your mind's stages
I even breath your air

Slowly I sense it
Your glances are observant
My skin turns electric
And the work of my body
escalates

I move around you
Undressing your attention from words
The treble of your hands
Keep a smile on my face

I feel your body moving
hearing every sentence you say
I know your intentions,
Sensing your mind's stages
I even breath your air


I feel your body moving
hearing every sentence you say
I know your intentions,
Sensing your mind's stages
I even breath your air

Okej. The gigs went well. Very well. Today I have a gige at this cruise line called Hopealinja http://www.hopealinja.fi/ I'll perform ther for 2 hours. It's a pretty long time, but it's usually cool, because the cruise line is a fun place to be in. Water everywere around. It's kind of traditionla also. Finnish people cruising, eating, listening to live music and having fun. But now I'll have to go!

Sorry that it has taken so long since I wrote last time. I've been really busy working here at the newspaper called Kymen Sanomat in Hamina, Finland. I have done several gigs here and people here are offering even more. It's up to me how much I can do them. Mainly I have been spending my time at Hyöky beside my work. That is a boat at the harbour of Hamina: http://www.hyoky.net/. Really cool place.  Full of see things. They have a stage in front of the boat and many artist (for example http://www.pellemiljoona.net/) play there - me included. We've had great evenings.  I also got a huge change to play at Junnu Vainio exhibition at Valokuvakekus, Kotka 23th of this month. Junnu Vainio is one of the greatest songwriters in Finland. He is dead already, but his songs remain. At this exhibition, there will be photos of him. That is why I have been unactive here at Sellaband. I had to press one sigle which I can sell there then.

But yes. Keep it cool. I put new photos for you to see.

So much have happened. I moved to Hamina to work as a journalist for the summer. Beside that I have written 3 new songs with piano. There is a piano at my apartment. Thta is wonderful. I have also been doing shows at this cruise line I very much like. My life is full of art at the moment. Paintings, writings and songs. I couldn't hope for more. Next week you can find two new paintings of mine. They are very special to me. I hope they will become that for you too. But keep it cool ok? And remember to spend time with art!

I was very hard to get up this morning. My eyes were really heavy, but after drinking many cups of tea I'm starting to feel pretty good. The sun is shining outside and people seem happy. That is rear in Finland, because usually people are used to look stressed. What a lovely country.

I wrote a song yesterday. I got inspired after taking a long walk in the forrest. It was already evening and the sun was starting to come down, but everything looked perfect. Then I came home, sit down and started to write. I wrote a song about a woman, who I'd seen in Tv. She was studying to become a doctor and she was pretty, but she lived double life. Every evening she went out to find a man to have sex with. Though she was doing that, she didn't like what she was doing. She was miserable and looked so unhappy that I really started to feel sorry for her. That's how my lyrics were born.

But now I have to start to work to organize some gigs tomyself for the coming fall. The whole summer I will work at a newspaper called Kymen Sanomat as a journalist and also be singing at cruise line called Hopealinja, but beside my school, I don't have any gigs for the fall. By this far and keep it cool! Oh and by the way. My song called He is with you, has been published. You can order the cd called Music from Torne Valley from here:www.vaylanpyorre.com

27.5.2008

I have no clue why the mornings are so hard to me. It reminds me of my song To speak with you, where I sing "To wake up eyes heavy as stones". I got the same feeling right now. I need to do one essey to my school (The Baltic Film and Media School). That will be the last one and then the semester is over -  thank god. Then I have time to do music for a few weeks before I have to head to Hamina (Town in Finland) to work as a journalist for 10 weeks. That is nice because there is a piano in the apartment where I'm staying.

Yesterday I read Beatrix Potter's stories. Do you remember her, lady who lived in the 1800 century, but was strong enough to create wonderful art. Her children's books are still read around the world. What a wonderful lady. I like her way to draw and I like the strongness in her. By the way, have you heard Israel Kamakawiwo'ole singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow? You can find it from www.youtube.com. He got the spirit. I practised the song yesterday, because I have to sing that at weddings 7th of June. You can sense the summer in that song. But now I have to go and work. Stay strong and remember to smile, life is fun!

29.5.2008

Good morning for everyone. Today I decided to take a day off from music making. That is good sometimes. I still have one week before my school is over for this spring, but I'm already in the mood for holiday.

I took a long walk yesterday evening. I took my time to look at the trees, flowers and views around. There are so many wondeful things in the nature. Everything's special. Like my grandmom said: "Look all those people. They are all human beings but different from each other. There's God there as well". This sentence really stopped me and I started to think about it.  Every one IS special. You can find something new from everyone. These sentences arise from the exhibition about the war in Finland. When Finnish people were fighting against each other in the 1918 (From january to may). We went to see it with my grandmom. It was a really good exhibition in Vapriikki (in the city of Tampere) but told about horrible things. How is it possible that people from the same country are shooting each othe? My grandpa, before he died, said that when he took part in the winterwar (1939-1949) in Finland against Russian, he had always thought that why on earth does he have to shoot people he just had Mahorka with. Yes, but these are things only rear people understand. But what I wanted to say, the exhibition was fantastic. Now I have to start working again. Enjoy the sun, if it's shining at your place. Keep it cool!

Have I already told you

Springlike weather, is healing tired mind
It's time to wake up, open the eyes and see
That after all it didn't matter,
if one is incomplite or so skilled

Have I already told all the phrases
I saved to ones like you
Have I already touched you in the ways
I'm especially tender

Can I really touch you the way I want
Can I really ask for without limitations
Do you know that I already miss you
Though you are right there beside me

Have I already told all the phrases
I saved to ones like you
Have I already served you
because I just wanted to

Will you tolerate the times
When I distrust friends away
Will you calm me down
When I speed in the centre with the biggest gear

Or should I even ask you
cause you bought bleach
without me separately
asking if from you

Have I already told all the phrases
I saved to ones like you
Have I already touched you the way
How I'm especially tender
