when you’re a beautiful girl like you
you can write a man’s mind
like your very own book

you can do anything that you wanna do
when you’re a beautiful girl like you

you broke my firewall

I was a dictator
my system organized
trying to find
eternal life

but now when you’re not around
I wanna die
when you’re by my side
I’m so alive

you broke my firewall
oh just take me all

you took down my whole army
you brought my down my government
wrote a new constitution
and somehow you hacked my password, cracked my code
and broke my firewall

Kimmo talks about what it was like to write a song for the project …

Good friend of mine Esa Pottonen of Wedding Crashers gave me the guitar and said he couldn’t have given it to anyone else. I guess I’m kind of THE singer-songwriter-troubadour kind of guy in the “Vantaa music scene”. I loved the idea of this project as soon as I heard it. I truly believe in getting inspiration from different instruments and this guitar had been played by so many great musicians so it must’ve had some good vibrations on it. Like my biggest idol of all time, Neil Young, has said: “I just pick up the guitar and see what stories it has to tell”. I got a lot of ideas out of that guitar but I ended up writing a classic pop-rock tune about a beautiful girl taking a cool guys guard down. It was so much fun to write a song without taking myself too seriously. A somewhat new experience for me for some reason. It really did good for the song and for my future songwriting.
