vero on the CQD forum wrote:the song was an attempt to collaborate with a swedish guy, johan v?vare. the song was never really finished, and therefore didn't make it on the album. when stina heard it again last week, she acknowledged though "this sounds good, today".
the only words she could really remember were:
"remember that rainy day, he said, when i was all you cared for"
the song never had an official title.

version by Magnus appeared at the end of film, version sung by stina never released.
Well hello Veronique!! How nice to see you amongst us again! Please stay and give us any NEWS!!!
Thanks for sorting those discog things out.So I was wrong about the ASCHE demo.But it does sound like something from 'Photographer'.
I spent a lot of time looking at credits etc for 'The reckoning' when it came out,and there was no mention of Magnus Fiennes,let alone Stina.But I guess seeing the film is the only proof...
Greetings from the old world
What isn't dead give you its wishes
A ghost of what we once were
Europe greets you with kisses
Here where it all started
Former heart of knowledge and wisdom
Always room for the heavy-hearted
and a better security system
The story goes you're still alive
spreading your seed somewhere else
The saints wake up and sing with pride
All the churches ring their bells
We all agree you were the one
We all agree you were the best
All dusty statues in the sun
now raise their heads and face the west
I want you like I used to
I thought I'd write you a letter
Greetings from the old world
Where things can only get better

:First Day in Spring
Lucky you
Someone else was found
In the ruins of a pulled-down house
While away you were watching them
For a morment
It all looked so bright
Their first-born child
Had peculiar ways
They made sure that you wouldn't have
Lucky you
Till the body was identified
You had every chance
The first day in spring
Ant the police were there
I had to go out for a while
Down in the docks the ice had just broken
They were trying
To remember your smile
They're restoring your alley
Putting waste baskets in the sidewallks
Your mother confirmed
It all happend quite fast
Spring was here in a day
