'Paper Town' - is out today!
You cannot change your origin - nor trade the skin you were born into. Yet, that place where you originally come from, can sometimes feel like a smudged spot on a map - non-existent - but it’s forever a part of your journey. Being a foster child and learning about my background, caused me to feel confused and that I’m from a so called ’paper town’.
It turned into the brainchild of a new language; the very reason for my need to write songs - where I can both communicate with myself - as well as with others.
The cover artwork is created by Ulrika Aldefelt - and it has the very same color scheme like the layers of tapestry found in the house of my biological parents’ - where I didn’t grow up. This finding was kindly sent to me by the new owners, after having renovated the old 18th century croft.
The whistling in the song - symbolizes the fact that I heard whistling as I cleaned out the house for the last time. It was like a ghost from the past being happy I was there... / Jade
