Johnny berglind Funi and Kz
Johnny happened long ago when I was touring USA and making music.
But the song got shelved I was always looking for a male vocal for the main chapter part, but did not think of anyone that would fit.
Then in 20014 me and my son Funi were staying in De-construct residency in New York, this song came back out of the folders of my computer and it got a new life. My son sang perfectly over it. We always felt the chorus sounded lot like Fine Young Cannibals – Johnny come home. So we sang that part but just changing the focus of it bit from my life to your life.
The rest of the text is about leaving a small town village were you aren’t getting the love you deserve, I felt also very inspired by the Bronski Beat song Small Town Boy.
The classical tale of begin the bullied misunderstood one that goes to a new place were they can shine and find there chosen family and I am sure many people know and understand this feeling as well as I do. Kind of like the ugly duckling.
I really knew this feeling from begin the freak in my small village from finding the people that knew and understood me from there guts.
I feel we are all made for love and affection
Funi and me then did a music video of the song from our experience in New York and showed it in our big final show in De- Construct.
