Hello and YO HO HO all you dear and happy people!
Yes, this is the great and exciting One Weekly Gun Christmas and New Year Special 2008.
We have come a long way this year. A lot has happened.
For my part 2008 has been crammed with stuff to do - my wedding, travels, a new job etc.
And in between I have tried to cover the some of the important events in the world in song, as I see them.
One Weekly Gun has taken off. This is the 39th and final song of 2008.
To celebrate 2008 I here present a very special episode. The very first song of OWG has been transformed from a lo-fi/first-take piece to a complete outta this world treat for all of you. It’s been recorded by the Danish National Chamber Orchestra in a FANTASTIC arrangement by my friend Jakob Faurholt and mixed by two other magnificent guys: Frederik Thaae and Kristian Thomsen.
Afterwards we added a beautiful X-mas choir and my pathetic voice. The result is of course stunning and absurd in the same time.
‘But this must have taken may more time than three hours?’ you might ask.
The answer is yes. But I thought it would be fun to step out of the OWG procedure for this one time. I guess this episode took the same amout of time to do, as all the 38 other episodes accumulated.
Why? Because anything is possible. One Weekly Gun is about just that. In our time the world is FLOODED with talent. Way too much for anyone to comprehend in a lifetime. Much of it never gets an audience. Now, I don’t consider myself a big talent, but I treasure my abilities enough to show them to the world. The world belongs to you and me, and you should not hesitate to get out there and do what you have to do.
One Weekly Gun wishes everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

One Xmas Song Every Week
Download
Maybe I’m not really the kind of man you want
Crouching in my chair, and sleeping everywhere
One thing makes up for all the work I haven’t done
It’s the songs I sing, that noone listens to.
One song every week
Now that’s what you’re getting
It’s really a treat for all my fans out there.
So I’m really busy writing songs every week
And that is what you’ll get
One song every week
No time for rehearsal
It’s one take a week
With limited production
And everything is free
This really is suicide
For I’m so damn busy writing songs every week.
And that is quite absurd
One song every week
No less could have done it
You’re climbing your peak
No benefit from it
Cause you’re to damn busy writing songs every week
And that’s a weird idea
One song every week
You know what I’ve been through
The world’s biggest geek
Despite this will continue.
This years’s winning streak
Without hesitation.
So I’ll just continue writing songs week after week
And that is what you’ll get.
