LYRICS
I was going for a walk, in the street where I was born, were I lived as young, we used to play here all night long
Passing the houses of old friends, turning right on a street that is covered with weed, to a within the sun
And the water there is brighter and the forest sounds of silence, and I hope that it will forever last
Turning back again, to the already mentioned street, just a few minutes away, and it's a right turn again, lies our football field
We used to stay here, for days and days and days, playing game after game, changing teams once again, until the sun has gone away
And the grass here is greener and the goals we scored were magic, and I hope it will forever last
On the street again, on the bridge over the rail, on my left there is the store were we bought candy when we were small, some fifteen years ago.
And just a few steps more, in our community hall, playing ping-pong, drinking beer, bathing sauna, shed our fears, and stole tobacco like it was gold
But the stores are all closed now and the windows they are broken, but I hope that they will forever last
During the final steps, I get a sight of the old school, where we once were just kids, playing hockey, chasing kicks but now everything seems small.
And on the other side, lies the ruins of our house, I got a million memories there a million memories to share, but I don't have the time
Cause even though those years were simpler and the future is unwritten, you can't keep living in the past
But the memories still please me and they can never be forgotten, cause those memories will forever last

More about Jon Magnusson:
Jon Magnusson is a songwriter, musician and producer from Stockholm, the picturesque capital of Sweden. The music he writes and plays is often plain folk with a touch of rock and punk influences and an occasional jazzy beat thrown in to keep listeners on their toes. Most of all, it’s his thoughts and feelings put to lyrics and chords. He does all his promotion himself with the strategy of building relationships with people and thanks to his genuine interest in people he always looking to make new friends in the independent music scene.
Aside from being an independent artist himself, Jon Magnusson is also a big advocate for the independent music scene and created the community the #MonsterThread in 2017 that he now runs together with the Luxembourgian producer and multitasker Toby Davis. Thanks to his constant desire to try new things and love of networking he has accomplished more than what could be expected in the year he has been actively a part of the music scene. With such a strong EP as “Always a rebel” in his sleeve and an always growing and dedicated fan base, who knows where he stands one year from now.
