The Messenger can move through time. And now, they bring us a moment on the cusp — right before everything might change.

A waiting heart.
A world holding its breath.
A moment that seems to never end.

Lingering lives in that moment — the quiet pause just before something might happen.

The song unfolds in golden twilight, where light slants low and time seems to slow down. You are alone — not abandoned, but present, waiting.

Waiting for an adventure.
For a voice, a face — a hand to reach out.
Waiting for the story to begin.

Have you ever walked through a familiar place and felt that everything is possible — and yet nothing is happening? You imagine what could be. You stand right on the threshold, unsure whether the door will ever open.

You are ready, while the world is not.

Lingering is out now on all major streaming platforms.
Listen, drift — and stay in that moment for a while.

The Messenger brings you a bittersweet memory of summer — a fleeting encounter under the midnight sun, far up north where the sun never truly sets.

Two young souls meet and form a bond that lingers even as the seasons change. But will they ever be reunited? Listen, dream — and hope! 😍

Johan Lind, then a young adult, shares the memory of his best day — the day he can’t forget and hopes to experience again.

The Best Day – Midnight Sun Memory is out now on all major streaming platforms. It’s a celebration of summer — something we need most when winter’s cold approaches and the light feels far away.

I didn’t write this song at a desk. It came to me out there — under the midnight sun, on quiet roads between water and fields. I was biking, walking, sitting in a taxi, just watching the light. And somewhere in that golden glow, the melody appeared.

Love Me And Let Me Go was born there too, years earlier. The place and the light stayed the same — only time moved on, and with it, the music.

I hope this song inspires you to think back to your own best summer’s day — and remember what was once whispered: this is the best time of our life.

The Messenger is here with news of a brand new release — and this time, it strikes right at the heart.

Fan favorite Max Ström, from our recent track Arrivederci – A Song for Freedom, returns behind the mic. But this time, he’s not here to rally the world — he’s here to share something personal. A memory he never speaks of — but one he can’t forget.

One night of pure magic. The kind that makes you forget the rest of the world.
But the morning meant goodbye.

Two people had it all — and both chose to let it go. Not because the feeling wasn’t real… but because life, duty, and the masks we wear won.

Now, years — or even decades — later, the memory still lingers. Bittersweet. Unshakable. Real.

Discover what really happened that night between two strangers who knew — even if just for a moment — that what they shared was unlike anything before.

Love Me And Let Me Go – Max’s most honest memory, told in music.

The Messenger knows freedom — is freedom.

I’m excited to announce that our new song “Arrivederci – A Song for Freedom” is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and all major streaming platforms!

The song weaves together the Italian “arrivederci” (goodbye) with the French “liberté” (freedom) and “vérité” (truth) to tell its story. It’s about watching our freedoms slip away—often under the banner of good intentions. You know that old saying about the road to hell? Yeah, that one.

Freedom has many enemies today—from power-hungry politicians to companies tracking our every move, from outright dictators to the subtle erosion of privacy. How easy it is to lose our freedoms if we’re not paying attention… and how puny and mad those schemes must seem to the eternal stars looking down on us.
But we should all have the right to express ourselves—and when needed, to disagree.

Now, I’m thrilled to finally share the finished version with you.

The result is something to feel inspired by—a song that I hope does justice to its themes.
