    Lyrics:
    Well, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
    I ache in the places where I used to play
    And I'm crazy for love but I'm not comin' on
    I'm just payin' my rent every day in the Tower of Song
    I said to Hank Williams: "How lonely does it get?"
    Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
    But I hear him coughing all night long
    Oh, a hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song
    I was born like this, I had no choice
    I was born with the gift of a golden voice
    And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
    They tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song
    So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
    I'm very sorry, baby, it doesn't look like me at all
    I'm standin' by the window where the light is strong
    Ah, they don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song
    Now, you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure:
    The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
    And there's a mighty Judgement comin' but I may be wrong
    You see, I hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song
    I see you standin' on the other side
    I don't know how the river got so wide
    I loved you, baby, way back when...
    And all the bridges are burnin' that we might've crossed
    But I feel so close to everything that we lost
    We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again
    Now, I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
    They're movin' us tomorrow to the tower down the track
    But you'll be hearin' from me, baby, long after I'm gone
    I'll be speakin' to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song
    Yeah, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
    I ache in the places where I used to play
    And I'm crazy for love but I'm not comin' on
    I'm just payin' my rent everyday in the Tower of Song

I would like on that is objective and not trying to push their own idea of who he was. He is such a sexy man, whether old or young.

If we don't have his experiences in common, we can at least laugh at ourselves together. Hard to explain.

    Leonard was so amazing. On his 2008 concert in Amsterdam I saw him live for the first time after having loved his songs for about 30 years already. It was somehow quiet in between two songs and I shouted from the bottom of my heart: "Leonard, I love you!" He so gently laughed and smiled in my direction, I was deeply touched and still am.
    As many of you may know, Leonard was a Virgo. And so was my beloved dad. Leonard died at age 82. So did my dad some years later. Leonard passed away on a 7th. And, yes, so did my dad this year, in January 2020...

    Thank you Goran! It was an amazing healing journey. I´m so grateful. The scanning of my body was done. Then we went for the hill. I could see all was dressed in light clothes. They gathered around. Goran told me to take his hand, I suddenly became very short. I was myself as a one-year old. She wanted to become visible. My stomach started to hurt from old feelings of sorrow and loneliness. We stopped and listened to the feelings. My older self, took the toddler by the hand and Goran hold her other hand. We started to walk uphill. It was a joyful walk. My mother and father came up behind to join the march, the little one let go of my hand and went to them to get hugs. Tears of joy and the little one was very happy. I lifted her in my arms and we continued. On top of the hill I sat down by a fire. The guides and helpers were around. I didn´t have any questions so I asked if they had some advice. The elder Indian, south-american with wrinkled dry skin held the talking-stick, looked into my eyes, smiled and nodded. A rush of love went through me. So incredibly warm, tears of joy started to fall. I wanted to give the man a gift for his help, so I gave him my necklace. The old Indian with long white hair and a long robe in light grey held the gift, and then returned it to me. The other helpers were also very tall, guessing about 2 meters wore grey robes with hoods, so I couldn´t see their faces. Time to go back; I bowed to the helpers in gratitude. The little one ran to mother and father so the forgiving was completed. I hugged them too; it was so nice to see them as they were before in their 50-ies. - Lets run down the hill! Goran said. We started to run hand in hand and the little one on my hip. All of sudden we took flight. With arms stretched as wings we flew downhill and all was so happy. We made a little war-dance on the ground of pure joy.

You live the life of your choice - to learn and to grow.
      2
      Use your WISDOM
      because you are much older than you can believe and imagine.
      Many times you crossed the sky and the earth,
      and long times you existed in heaven,
      the extended way of reaching maturity.
      So you know much more than you live.
      So you say less than you carry.
      So you love tinier than you want.
      Live rich.
      Live true.
      Live according your grown up, old and wise spirit.
      Talk clear and loudly - in human way
      Speak a prayer to God - and He will hear you
      Be wise - love and give and embrace the world.
      We are with you -always. You are our brother and child.
      We know you!
      3
      Dignity
      Be dignity!
      Live dignity!
      Defense dignity!
      Be example!
      You live the heritage of your fathers,
      grandfathers, and grandgrandfathers.
      You are the result of your spiritual existence over the time of eternity.
      You are - and you will be.
      God by himself reaches out His hand
      and He asks you to stand up and to walk freely.
      Nothing else should be as it was
      All is new.
      See the brighten daylight, and as it turns on
      you life shall be a new one.
      All about your thoughts
      your feelings
      your opinion
      about yourself.
      Now - and from now on - be dignity.
      God and the entire universe loves you, Göran Skönvall!
      4
      Joy
      Be joy!
      Feel yoy!
      Give joy
      and take joy!
      Whatever happens -
      feel
      your breathing
      your wide open senses
      your golden heart.
      Let this golden heart
      shine out
      and in
      to lighten up
      mind and soul.
      Be connected
      with your spirit
      in joy.
      Whatever happens
      or disappear
      or get neglected
      allow
      nothing and nobody
      to steal your joy!
      Love!
      5
      Peace
      Peace
      Peace
      Peace
      meditate on peace
      everyday -
      to keep the trust
      the stability
      the love.
      Peace may be in heaven
      and on earth
      in your inner heart chambers
      in your soul
      and in your life.
      You are the gardener
      of peace, love, happiness!
      6
      Forgiveness
      To reach the peace, the joy, the happiness
      you have to forgive!
      Forgiving is beautiful.
      Forgiving is
      to release
      to give free
      to forget.
      Forgiving makes possible
      the new beginning.
      Forgive your parents and their believings.
      Forgive those you let you down.
      Forgive those who were not able to love.
      Forgive the one who heart you.
      Forgive the one without believings.
      Forgive the darkness, it made you see.
      Forgive the lonliness, it made you miss the feelings.
      Forgive the pain,
      the blaming,
      the sorrow,
      for all of them lead you now
      to choose happiness.
      And finally -
      forgive yourself.
      Be free!
      7
      Patience
      Be patient.
      Spread patience.
      Talk patiently.
      No hurry will give you
      more happiness
      or let you reach
      your goals faster.
      Unpatience will leave you exausted
      and tired.
      Patience gives strength and power.
      Teach this!
      Everything
      will come in time.
      8
      Cleaning
      A tired soul and a tired heart
      leaves the body exhausted.
      No wonder why!
      Let the soul breath out
      all dust.
      Let the heart cry out
      all sadness
      the eyes have seen
      the heart has felt.
      Let the eyes clean themselves.
      And heart will be light again.
      Give the body space
      for breathing, for resting
      and collect the power
      of a recovered will.
      Then
      the wheel of power
      will work again.
      And your heart filled with new hope
      and your soul extending
      to reach spirit and
      the universe!
      Love forever!
      9
      Happiness
      Happiness is
      to live.
      Breathing
      smiling
      seeing
      the nature.
      The air
      is dedicated to humans
      to breath
      to grow
      to lift up
      the spirit to higher levels.
      Air is happiness.
      So -
      happiness is light
      makes humans light
      gives light!
      How happy you are, Göran,
      depends on how much air you breath
      how many times per day you smile
      how carefully your awareness is reading
      the nature
      the humans
      the true values.
      Let your spirit grow
      and become wise in calmness.
      Spread all wisdom of your spirit
      out to the longing people.
      All of that is happiness.
      Happiness is to take part
      in the adventure of
      the trees of growing spirits
      to a whole forest -
      to let the earth breath!
      Happiness is breathing!
      Breath out and
      breath in
      Happiness!
      10
      Completion
      Nothing is ever
      complete
      perfect
      finished.
      All is
      under creation.
      But happy are those
      who continue building
      for themselves
      and others.
      This is
      what all of us do.
      You on earth
      and we
      in spirit.
      One family - one goal!
      Liberation!
      And you brother
      Göran
