"This was the first song that came out of the sessions with Tim, Carl Falk, Joe Janiak and me in the spring of 2018. Tim and Joe met for the first time this day, and Tim just loved Joe's voice and vibe from the start.
We talked briefly about 60s & 70s bands and artists being quite comfortable working in pop but still having this otherworldly weirdness about their songs. How they made giant leaps in mood and feel within just one song.
This conversation unintentionally seeped into Fades Away.
Carl started toying around with a climbing chord sequence on a synth with a piano sound and Joe sang along with Tim directing the rhythm. That became the verse and the rest was very fast. I had some chords and the beginning of the melody to the fades away part before the drop and it has a very 60's feel chord/melody-wise and is kind of weird but pretty. Tim and Joe finished the melody and came up with the words.
The drop part with the staccato strings was originally played by Joe and Carl on two acoustic guitars, Tim had the stacc melody down on keys and then he was making Carl play a super fast, very specific rhythm with hard accents that was really difficult to play but sounded quite amazing and was hilarious to watch.
Tim just loved the "don't you love it, how it all just fades away" part of the lyric.
It may now come across as a sad song, but for us in the studio, writing it, we felt it was uplifting and light hearted.
We wrote it in a bright mode, sort of carefree, and there were lots of laughing and joking, so for me Fades Away will always be a positive song, a simple message about accepting changes, the passing of time and making the best of what you have."
– Joakim Berg


All of the troubled times that we have overcome
All of the trials to find somewhere that we belong
All I know is that with you I'm holding on
Cause all of the days out
All of the days out on the run

Don't you love it how it all just fades away
When your clothes don't feel the songs of yesterday
And I can't go back
And I can't go back
Don't you love it
How it all
It all just fades away

It all just fades away

All of the tracks we traced, we raced to reach the sun
All of the lights to find a place where we belong
All I know is that with you I'm moving on
Cause all of the days out
All of the days out on the run

And I can't go back
And I can't go back
Don't you love it
How it all
It all just fades away

It all just fades away
it all just fades away
It all just fades away

And I can't go back
And I can't go back
Don't you love it
How it all
It all just fades away
