Story behind the song
This song was meant as a entrence to CBC's cirkus theme in may 2012, but we didn't manage to finish the song in time. Holger did most of the lyrics for this one, while I composed the song.
Lyrics
The fool in the clown. They all stare at me, but they don’t really see me. They forgot how to laugh and need me to bring it back. So I stumble and I fall - I play the fool so well But deep inside my heart is bleeding Then one day I cracked, the tears were for real. Please listen - I begged – but they laughed on. I grabbed the microphone, and I screamed at the crowd: “Okay I’m a clown – but I’m proud!”. I am a clown – in this old town. And you laugh when I cry, and never ask why. I dance around – fall to the ground And it hurts in my soul cause I know You don’t know That I’m a fool inside a clown The show must go on – evening after evening My own life – my world – stopped Spinning long ago While the life outside my tent Keeps changing every minute Then all I do - is keep on falling Stand straight have no fear - Watch as I fall Keep laughing - my dear - The clown is here Your worries will be gone - I’ll make them disappear As least for as long - as you are here. I am a clown – in this old town And you laugh when I cry - You never ask why I dance around - Fall to the ground But please understand there’s a man Inside this clown (Solo) I am your clown – in this old town And you laugh when I cry - You never ask why I dance around - Fall to the ground Just please understand there’s a man Yes there’s a man Yes there’s a man inside this clown 06/2012

Wow - what a great piece. Extremely "together" - all elements were meant to be this way. I really like the Saga 16th hihat and the stuff that simply just belongs in this genre. Well done and hats off!
