It is a story about discovering something that was always there. "Everfields" is also about the fact that one can face every situation in life with a calmness in the heart. It is like an infinite self-sustaining universe of stilness. One side of the lyrics is about this vast region of existence where everything is in a harmonious level and manifests itself visually as a never-ending horizon in every direction. This nine minute melodic giant is lyrically one my favourites in the album. The first song I chose to do was a mammoth track called "Everfields". I'd brought my acoustic guitar with me and just played and sung untill I felt my voice was opening up. Everything was ready in the studio from yesterday and I started to open my voice. I quickly went to bed to get a fresh start the next day.ĭay 2 After a quick breakfast we went to pick up Teemu and the new mic. So we dropped Teemu to his place and went to Markuse's place. Teemu was a bit disappointed because he really digged the sound of that mic. So we had no choice but to get another one tomorrow and start then. Teemu tried to fix it awhile but it seemed there was nothing to do. Everything was ready but when we started to record we quick noticed that there was something wrong in the microphone. I settled in while Teemu prepared the recording- room suitable for singing. They had been doing some guitars and were just finishing up. Teemu and Markus were there to welcome me. I felt a cosy feeling about the fact that the recording happened in our own premises. I arrived to our rehearsal place, "the wooden-palace" or "mani-talo", in Karhula which the guys had been transformed into a studio. Still there was no difficulty to weed out the half-ready stuff and the material transmuted easily into brilliant OG-songs. The songs for the album had been coming to my direction for over a year now and every time I heard a new one, I had at least three ideas concerning this song in the light of the wider concept of the album. Of course I had had a lot of flashes of inspiration for these songs as well but the amount of lyrics amazed me. I'd been writing a lot of lyrics for this one which was kind of strange because I usually have a free flow of thoughts which I write down immediately and that is the beginning concept for the song in question. I was excited because I really had the urge to pour out the new material which was now ready to be recorded. I was on my way to do my part on the new OG- album. Had my morning coffee as usual and thought that today was finally here.
