Henry has been writing songs since he was twelve years old and has not stopped since. He has always had a passion for making others happy by playing music and in his eyes, finally being noticed as a musician is the ultimate honor. The five songs on this EP are five of his favorites. Most written as a teenager, but some written in his current age of 21. He recorded his demo singles: Tonight, Forever; and Wings himself by plugging his guitar into his computer and singing over it. The singles made a huge impact on the charts and cast Johanson further out into popularity. Wings, the more popular of the two, made it to number three on the Airplay Charts and number six on the Hot Digital charts. Tracklist: 1. Ceiling Fan Song 2. Tonight, Forever 3. It's Alright 4. Wings 5. I Will Die Edited by user 23 July 2015 12:31:59(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

The song starts out with a heavily distorted acoustic guitar chord progression with very heavy feedback as well. Shortly after, Henry begins singing. His voice is very mellow and soft. The lyrics are about an old friend of his who committed suicide at the age of sixteen. He writes from his point of view, talking about how he's losing control of everything and how eventually he's hanging from a ceiling fan and how he doesn't really know what's going on. Johanson's vocals increase intensity until his vocals end which leads the listener right into a heavy feedback guitar chord progression. Lyrics: Everything that I love Doesn't make sense to me now Trying to grab the straws Of rationality Life goes on Without skipping a heartbeat I'm hanging from a ceiling fan And I don't if I'm dead or not Everything that I love Have run out of oxygen and fallen dead I'm wondering why Things are never what they seem Life goes on Without skipping a heartbeat I'm hanging from a ceiling fan And I don't know if I'm dead or not Ahhhh Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Ahhhh! Ahhhhh! Sounds like:

Judging from the first track of this EP I'm eagerly awaiting the rest of this. I have a feeling that this is going to be an incredibly unique collection of songs with a lot of heart to them. I'm looking forward to seeing where you can go, you're very promising!

It's the familiar debut single of Henry Johanson known as "Tonight, Forever." The song had moderate chart success making it into the top fifteen but it quickly declined in popularity as the second single, Wings, overthrew it. The song starts out with a complex finger picked guitar riff that gets quieter as Henry begins singing. He sings about the person he holds dearest, his mother, Ellen Johanson. You can hear that this is a very sentimental song, both from the chords and the lyrics. The lyrics are supposed to both embody a childish nature, a time where you spend most of your time with your mother as well as stories stored in the back of his memory. Lyrics: My mother paces nervously It's noon again The sun shines like her eyes She won't be sleeping Tonight, tonight, tonight I've been watching you Since you were small You've finally caught me but keep it between us Forever, and ever, Forever, and ever. Forever, and ever, Forever, and ever. And some say the earth is dying But I feel its heartbeat And some blame it on the weather We will not know Until, we die, until we die I will we, stay up, tonight, and forever If I am alone in the darkness Then you are my lantern A circle of light on the ground To help me find home Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight Forever, and ever, forever, and ever Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight Forever, and ever, forever, and ever My mother paces nervously It's noon again The sun shines like her eyes She won't be sleeping She won't be sleeping She won't be sleeping Sounds like:

It utilizes a somber feeling of false optimism as Henry promises an unknown parter that everything will be alright though Henry's vocal tone and chord progressions say otherwise. He promises that the pearly gates are ahead, meaning that things will get better for the two of them. Rather than telling a complex story like most of Johanson's songs, this utilizes one verse and chorus to soak up three minutes and thirty seconds. He uses a building vocal power and towards the end, we hear him utilize a woeful falsetto which ends the song. This is the only song off of the album that uses an electric guitar rather than an acoustic guitar. Lyrics: Our thoughts intertwine like a net Keeping cars away from cliffs And into the graves we can't dig out Though I'm determined to find a way out I want to see how my story ends I want to scatter my ashes In the belly of the beast Of all my problems I've ran from It's alright, we'll make it through to the end Just close your eyes, you'll be okay I promise I will wait for you to open your eyes I will wait for you to open your eyes I will wait for you to open your eyes Cause it's alright, I promise the pearly gates are ahead Cause it's alright, I promise the pearly gates are ahead Cause it's alright, I promise the pearly gates are ahead Cause it's alright, I promise the pearly gates are ahead The pearly gates are ahead The pearly gates are ahead Our thoughts intertwine like a net Keeping cars away from cliffs And into the graves we can't dig out Though I'm determined to find a way out I want to see how my story ends I want to scatter my ashes In the belly of the beast Of all my problems I've ran from It's alright, we'll make it through to the end Just close your eyes, you'll be okay I promise I will wait for you to open your eyes I will wait for you to open your eyes I will wait for you to open your eyes Cause it's alright, I promise the pearly gates are ahead Cause it's alright, I promise the pearly gates are ahead Cause it's alright, I promise the pearly gates are ahead Cause it's alright, I promise the pearly gates are ahead The pearly gates are ahead The pearly gates are ahead Sounds like:

His first single, "Tonight, Forever" received a lot of applause and debuted at number eleven on the Hot Digital Charts. But it quickly fizzled off of the charts. However, Wings managed to take a very high spot on both the Airplay and Hot Digital Charts, three and six respectively. Wings quickly vanished on the Digital Charts but put up a fight on the Airplay Charts. It maintained spots in the mid teens for several weeks before it finally fell. Wings starts out with a complex arpeggiated chord progression coming from his acoustic guitar. His voice comes in a couple seconds after the song begins. He has a very calm voice and he's singing higher than he normally does. After the first chorus, the song makes a quick crescendo but he quiets it down as he begins singing. The second chorus comes in and the chord progression changes a little bit. The next verse features him harmonizing with himself as it goes into the bridge. He sings another verse with the chorus and he ends on a somber part of the chorus where he says "Wings can only take you so far." The song's lyrics are about being stuck in an emotional rough patch where you don't want to be so you try to fly away but your wings can only take you so far before you have to face your problems again. Lyrics: Falling apart like the spine of an old book Trembling emotions shaking like the pacific coast The world is getting warmer But I am feeling so much colder Flying like a bird in the distance Wings can only take you so far. In a suburb in the city, I wake up all alone again Where is my beautiful wife and my beautiful children? I saw them here last night Cruelly in my dreams... Flying like a bird in the distance Wings can only take you so far. I am just a man With a heart that is shattered Like those porcelain dolls in your living room On the floor after the earth shook so violently Ohhhhhhh ohhh ohhh Flying like a bird in distance I guess I'll drive away from my problems Like how birds fly back south. Wings can only take you... So far Sounds like:
