ABOUT
Recording artist Nervous City Nervous Self was born and raised in Stockholm, and started off his musical career by declaring: “I shall become Sweden´s Cohen or die!”. As Sweden never has been a country of big declarations, he was met with skepticism. A skepticism that eventually forced the musician into German exile – in the streets of Berlin where countless prophets and poets wander their way, the artist experienced a new sense of kinship. And it was there, during a visit at an art exhibition about German expressionism that the embryo of Nervous City Nervous Self was created.
The debut songs of Nervous City Nervous Self portrays a wandering singer´s delightful doom, and are the expressions of an artist staying committed to his path, and his search for “G-d knows what” – or Godot, as Samuel Beckett might have put it.
“The only thing I kept
is a stranger´s heart.
It´s shielding me
from those fiery darts,
across the devil´s path
and the grapes of wrath.”

If the answer is the question
And the question is the goal
Who will come for rescue
When I know what I do not know?
I´ll stay here till I go
In this final one-man show
Stay here till I go
And I was born a long way
A long way from home
But I know I´ll get there
Somewhere along this road
I will reach my goal
And I´m further than you´ll know
Stay here till I go
There´s a place by your window
Where I love to sit and wait
I could wait forever
And watch the sunrays fade
Gently into the gray
And you´re a million miles away
