Free MP3 songs and albums with CD-cover and lyrics, music video, history and blog from a Norwegian songwriter and musician.
Even as a child I knew music would play a major role throughout my entire life. I played, composed and performed music constantly while growing up.
Since the mid 80's my mind has been set on unwritten songs, as I can't help hearing melodies and music arrangements that fit with the rythm of my own footsteps, heartbeats or breath. No matter how obscure it might be, I'm addicted to my own creativity. All in all, this has resulted in an extensive music production over the years, mostly within the pop/rock genre, and often dressed in my own personal spice of synthetics and electronics.
After some serious attempts to adopt the record industry's commercial demands in the mid 90s, I ended up with almost loosing my love of music. A few years later, as I decided to never again mistaken the music waiting inside me with opportunities to make money, my love and joy for organized sound came back to stay.
This website presents my evolving musical compositions and thoughts on various topics, as a Norwegian song writer and musician. All my music releases are now made available for free on the Internet. Music and lyrics are proof and celebration of intelligence and creativity, mirroring the inner emotions of the human spirit.
The free MP3 downloads are for private use only (copyright Finn Harald Røed). Most of my music is written with little thought of the commercial demands of the music industry, which in my opinion has less artistic integrity than ever.
