Sorry I’m late I just stopped by to give mom a flower
That’s fine
How are you?
Fine
We got ourselves a manager in the family today
Say that again
Yeah...
I've got a job as a bank manager in Herning
Nice, well done
Yep, That’s my girl!
Yes yes
How about you?
Is everything going well in Nashville?
Yeah
I’ve gotten some great contacts
I think
I've started writing my own songs
I’m thinking about playing one of them tonight
Goddammit for Christ’s sake!
- Are you ok dad? - Just shut up!
- You want a hand? - No!
Goddammit!
Well, you haven’t been shot yet?
No...
What do you mean?
They're just shooting each other like mad over there
No, that’s in Las Vegas, dad. I live in Nashville.
Completely different story
When you’re at home, you’re gonna take that hat off
Let’s have a coffee and talk about tonight's entertainment?
No. We don’t have time for that
We need tables set up for 50 guests You guys do that
I’ll get the Christmas tree and the duck at Lis’ place
- Dad, let's just have a cup of coffee - No, we don't have time
Don't pick up the Christmas tree now
Let’s go we’re busy. Go go!
- You want a hand or what? - No
You can hold this
I just need to pull this out
Robert!
Are you ok?
No goddammit! I hurt my freakin’ toe!
Are sure you don’t want a hand?
Why didn’t he get this ready?
Chill out
- I don’t get this - Dad has to do everything himself
Then why didn’t he say anything?
I could have come home earlier
It’s not like you always come running when we call
Let’s just do this
This is looking good Damn good!
Yeah isn’t it great?
Yup
Well...
It’s about time you got here
Yeah, you know Lis..
She talked about Matchstick Svend
You remember him, right?
That guy who was so skinny he could hide behind a lamppost
He knocked over his slurry tank
and now the whole street is covered in shit
She kept going. She could talk your ear off.
But in the end I had to tell her to shut up!
If anyone is full of shit, Lis, it’s you
No, of course I didn't say that
But anyway, the best bit is-
that I bought the Christmas tree that was standing in her shop
And it's already decorated, so we don’t have to do that
What do you think?
You’re in a good mood, aren’t you?
Yeah, well it’s only christmas once a year
Did you also get a quick drink while you were there?
What? Yeah, just a quick one
Are you managing in there?
Yeah. I think we’ve got it
Let’s take a look
Look at that
That’s in mom’s spirit I think
Yes it is
No, stop! I don’t want that
Where’s Robert?
I don’t know
Well, that shirt doesn't iron itself
Well, there you are What the hell are you doing?
The guest will be here in 5 minutes Get your ass moving!
Your sister has been working like a dog all day
while you just play Christmas songs
I just to need figure something out
Yeah but not now for Christ’s sake!
There might come a surprise
No, there won’t be any music tonight
There won’t be any music
There’s nothing to celebrate
Do you think drinking that is going to make you happier?
You know what Robert I don’t know
I really don’t know
Have you started drinking?
What do you care? You’re never here anyway
- I’m here now - Yeah, but you don’t wanna be here
If you drink one more of those I’m not going to help you tonight
Then I think you should just leave again
Pack all your shit and get the hell outta here
You could have sung at your mom’s funeral
I couldn’t sing goddammit!
I was a total mess
- What is going on? - I don’t wanna be here
- What? - I’ll go over to the hotel
Why Robert?
Robert, wait!
Would you please stop!
Did you know he has started drinking?
One small drink won’t do him any harm
He’s drinking straight vodka
Dammit Robert, you’re gonna stay here and take responsibility
I can’t do it anymore
and I can’t take care of him by myself tonight

and for my dad
I just want to say…
No, I think I’m just going to play
Silence in this house
in between the breaths we take
cause we don't know how
to see the sun behind the clouds
no silver linings
can't catch a break
where we are now.
They say blood
runs thicker than water
but we're drowning
just the same.
When the axle breaks
in a wheel that's turning
we are scattered all around.
I don’t know what it takes
to get this fire burning.
When we’re cold here on the ground.
When we're lost somehow
our love
will make us found.
Old forgotten photographs
smiling with the sunshine
in our eyes.
Loving arms and playful laughs
with perfect bows of silk
our family ties.
They say blood
runs thicker than water
but we're drowning
just the same.
When the axle breaks
in a wheel that's turning
we are scattered all around.
I know what it takes
to get this fire burning
we are cold here on the ground.
When we're lost the somehow
our love will make us found.
When we're lost somehow
our love
will make us found.
When we're lost somehow
our love
will make us found.
