THANK YOU The words "Thank You" do not even begin to cover the gratitude I have for the people who helped me bring this album to life, but they will have to do until we can invent a new, more powerful phrase. ​ First, and foremost - Pietro; my recording and mixing engineer, co-producer, hardworking and patient friend. I have no idea how many e-mails, Skype calls and Facebook messages we've shared across the continents, but I wouldn't be surprised if we are nearing the thousands. Without you, this album and this process would not have been the same. THANK YOU for your unapologetic honesty and for putting up with my perfectionist demeanor to the very end. "Piano-Chris" - classmate, friend, teacher and forever adored piano-accompanist. I love you, friend. Your style and sound shines through in everything you do, and I am so grateful to have it captured in this project. Josh - some people speculate that this project came about as an excuse to see you again... I will neither confirm or deny this, but I will say this: your exceptional talent, fellow perfectionist nature and incredible character was, and is, a beautiful addition I would not do without. I love you. Gitai - you are the friendliest soul and just ridiculously talented on your instrument. I am so blessed to know you and to have been able to share this project with you. "Chrissy-Chris" - roommate, M&M-enthusiast, mood-shifter and drummer extraordinaire. You are ON IT, dearest - always pushing yourself and others to their fullest potential. How different life would have been without you in it. Thank you for putting up with my crazy adventures and escapades, and for gracing this album with your great talent. Peter; because of you and your class I found the motivation to pick up the pen and start writing again - it was the spark that started this whole process. Through your class I wrote, among other songs, "Drained" and "We Both Know That", and to have you play on the latter is such an incredible honor. Thank you! Peder, Paul, Sandy, Bradley and Victor; who needs an orchestra when you can have a quintet as talented as you?! Thank you for being part of this project and for lending me your time and talent to take the song "We Both Know That" to a whole new level. Chantal, Linnéa, Eli, Michael and Matt - it was midnight, I could barely see straight and I would probably be a great fit for the Snickers commercials "you're not yourself...", when your smiling, cheerful, brilliant selves entered the studio and shone a light that had left the building about an hour and a half earlier. Thank you for turning my night upside down, and sharing your angelic voices on "All I Wanted To Say" and the final chorus of "Over It".  Thank you to Eli and the assistants at the Record Company, Boston who helped out during our two very long recording sessions. What a relief to have you there! Enrique Gonzalez Muller - you are probably one of the most inspiring and hardworking role-models and teachers I have ever had the pleasure of  getting to know. When most people stop and say "that's good enough", you go back and say " I can do better". I cannot tell you how much I appreciate and have been inspired by this approach. I am so thankful that you and Tom wanted to be part of this project - thank you! To Neil Diercks, who helped me take my writing even further through the classes I took on the excellent Berklee Online platform. Through your class, the songs "Over It" and "Please You" (among several others) came to life, and a renewed passion for writing, now with a whole new toolset, was born. To my alma mater, Berklee College of Music - my teachers, fellow students, co-workers and leaders: these past four years have been some of the most rewarding, difficult, happiest, scariest, most beautiful years of my life and I am just so grateful and blessed to have been allowed to attend this incredible institution. Thank you for your guidance, your lessons and your encouragement. Esse Quam Videri. To my incredible friends, "framily", siblings and extended family (you know who you are) - to those of you who never doubted I could do it, and for those of you who did doubt it - thank you! Because of your doubt I pushed myself even harder to prove you wrong - "klare selv"; and because of your faith you helped me go for the impossible.  And last, but not least; to my mom and dad. Without  you - your faith in me, your support, your contributions and investments in me over the years I would never have been able to do this - any of it. This album is the culmination of a 25 year long process, and I would like to dedicate it to you. Jeg elsker dere og jeg er så enormt takknemlig for at nettopp dere er mine foreldre. THANK YOU ​
