Last night I dreamed of you Strange feeling to see you After all these years, after all these years Your hair was coloured blue You haven't even changed a minute or two After all these years, after all these years So I asked you would you let me in Without any resistance you did First time in all these years First time in all these years I felt guilty for what I had done My mind was sleepy, my consciuos was down Then I heard the familiar sound of alarm I woke up in clouds, woke in clouds I woke up in clouds, peaceful in clouds

Calella 03:31
You thought that she'd wait forever For you to make up your mind Now it's like you can hear her singing Can't you see what we have lost Replacement came just like ordered It only happens in films But they wouldn't have existed If there hadn't been reality Still can remember that warm October Meeting all those people in Calella town Walking down the streets of euphoria Never thought I could fall that down Well it's been almost four years ago Since your red hair burned my eyes I thought that you'd wait forever Never been prepared for that surprise
3.
It's time to cut this crap It's time to forget the lost chances Somehow they'll return in a different shape In a different shape Is it time to settle down in a little town Or in a big one, without my green yard I will find out somehow What if I regret, maybe there's still time They say God loves brave ones But that God maybe ain't mine
4.
I miss all those days I miss all those dreams Although they were naive I wanna be kid again I miss the so called friends I miss the big horizons The world just waited on us Or we just thought so Have I made some wrong moves Do you believe in wrong decisions Was I really meant to be a doctor Or I just feel that way I miss all those falls I miss all those springs I miss all those grandma's meals And my mom's car drivings I miss the naps after school Now the lost ones are Those who were cool Back in the days
5.
The night has fallen And the ghosts came out I can see them through the smoke I can hear them in the wind All tangled up in the curtains Their hymn they sing About the past days, about you and me When we were roaming naked through the house Each room they used to oversee So I questioned them about those days And the only words they could say Were peace, love and warmth During every single day you'd been around They said they'd greet you When they stumble upon your shoe And try everything to change your mind If he tried to seduce you In a pumpkin looking chariot They'll bring your being to me We'll love each other till the dawn And in the morning we will see What will be
6.
Miss Fortune 03:21
I'll improve myself I promise And I'll keep my nose above the water My friend says I'm not defined I can tell, I'm not blind Just one more try and I will see What will Miss Fortune bring to me She wants me to tease her She wants me her to tease But I'm getting bored with that game Cuz many years have passed Yet everything's the same Oh Miss Fortune smile at me Smile at me miss Fortune
7.
Guess Who 04:54
Blinds on the windows stayed down Those words keep pulling us to the ground I'm fighting the ghosts, the ghosts of our past Hoping that battle will no longer last Your tootbrush is smiling from the white glass Your towel on the floor so I lift it up To smell it all over, to keep being with you Oh I miss you darling, it's so goddamn true Your hair strings are dancing all over my place Those pretty ballerinas have some damned grace No matter how I try I can't hide your trace This house without you is just empty space Now days seem so longer and everything's blue I know you heard about it but so did I too I spend my time drinking, there's nothing new At night before sleeping all I see is ... you
8.
Rabbit 03:48
You invitation was hard to refuse Though I know he has you sometimes I'm down to compete The inbox wasn't full Of words like was your room It was the tidiest place I'd ever seen You're a young girl with classy taste But yet something's lacking For a woman you want to be For a woman you want to become Your taste in wines was something surprising Combined with your lips, such a powerful thing You say you wanted something different Well that's why I'm here Girl I can love you tonight But your love I cannot be The music was playing Somewhere far behind The sheets were soaking wet Light reflections down your spine My muscles tightened Unlinked to my mind So there you've tried another one Now walk me to the door Would you be kind
9.
Embrace 03:56
You lost yourself in my embrace Could you stay here one more night So that I can drown myself In those pretty eyes Oh tell me how you feel when I'm kissing you So meet me down by the river In a silent, coldy night And stay with me through the pain Stay with me through the sigh Oh tell me how you feel when kissing me I know this can't be real I'm scared this can't be real I'll make a chain of my embrace Not to lose you out of my sight
10.
Hibernia 04:38
In the green land I found my peace In the green land I found my luck Maybe because I knew That it wouldn't last forever From time to time I recall All the wet streets and the drizzling rain And the white sheets in our little freedom Sometimes I recall the white window And the planes in the distance Flying far away You'd finish your job and drink a pint If tomorrow was a day off you'd have another one Then you'd bide your time till she comes from her work And she'd make the world look much better You'd save you some money to see more world Then you'd travel 'cross the country her hand while you hold You'd come home exhausted but that was a sweet toll A new working day awaits you tomorrow From time to time I recall The narrow streets, the city lights How we found our luck in the green land Maybe cuz we knew it wouldn't last forever
11.
I'll Survive 03:55
Maybe I'll find my peace Maybe you will too My mom always tells me it will quit In a year or two Maybe I'll find the one Maybe you will too My pops says it's in the compromise But I end up with tears in my eyes Oh but I'll survive somehow Maybe I'll find my missing part Oh maybe you will too Maybe I'll fly in cosy heavens Still thinking bout you One day I might see the world And I'll be seeing you In every glowing neon light Abroad in every lonesome night Oh but I'll survive somehow

about

"Naime, “The Fall Of My Youth“ je u principu čisti solo, akustičarski album i predstavlja po svemu ono što on radi i čemu teži. Zadnjih godina kantautorska scena u Hrvatskoj je u velikom usponu, pogotovo njeno tzv. “girl power“ krilo s nizom vrlo uspješnih kantautorica kao Irena Žilić, Sara Renar, Billie Joan, Lovely Quinces i da ih sve ne nabrajam, ali Seed Holden je dokaz da i muška strana ove scene itekako ima zanimljivih stvari za predstaviti.

“The Fall Of My Youth“ je kako sâm autor kaže iskren, nostalgičan, melankoličan, miran, a i lascivan album i moram reći da bih se u potpunosti s njim složio, osim možda te lascivnosti. Naravno već na prvo slušanje mi se odmah nameću nekakve usporedbe, a prvo što mi je palo na pamet je, ne toliko zbog sličnosti već više možda zbog atmosfere, Springsteenova “Nebraska“, album koji je “Boss“ snimio potpuno akustično, nakon čega ih je trebao snimiti s bendom, ali i on i na sreću svi oko njega zaključili su da je postignuta nevjerojatna atmosfera i da bi dodavanje bilo čega bilo nepotrebno, i tako smo dobili jedno akustično kantautorsko remek djelo, meni osobno njegovo i ponajbolje. Isto tako zaključuje i Ljudevit Ivić a.k.a Seed Holden, riječi mogu otvoriti bilo koja vrata, a ako se dogode u kombinaciji s gitarom onda mogu otvoriti i bilo koje srce." (Boris Abramović, Music-Box.hr)

"Kao što i sam naslov albuma kaže, “The Fall Of My Youth” je svojevrsna retrospektiva mladenačkih dana i odrastanja. Sve je otpjevano na engleskom čime se zvukovno približava folk sceni Amerike od prije par dekada.
Kod ovakvog folka/americane teško se može istaknuti nešto što bi moglo postati hit, posebno kod nas i kad je na engleskom jeziku. Ipak, upravo je to i glavna prednost ovog izdanja jer iz njega prvenstveno izbijaju emocije i razna sjećanja koja su zanimljivo prebačene u akustične stvari koje imaju ono nešto čime mogu doći do publike.
Kako album odmiče, tako dobivamo cijeli niz prekrasnih pjesama koje uz akustičnu gitaru i usnu harmoniku odišu nekim drugim vremenom kad je sve bilo nekako mirnije i spokojnije. Nostalgija se jasno osjeća u gotovo svakoj pjesmi i ako treba nešto posebno podcrtati za ovo izdanje, to jest svakako zaokruženost albuma koji prilikom toga nije podlegao nikakvoj monotoniji. Seed Holden je s ovim albumom svakako sazrio kao autor, u to nema sumnje.
Siguran sam da o ovom izdanju nećete biti zasipani za svih strana i to je prava šteta." (Siniša Miklaužić, Muzika.hr)

"Uzmemo li u obzir da su sve pjesme napisane na engleskom, a osim akustične gitare i Ljudevitovog glasa drugih instrumenata gotovo da nema, zaista je nevjerojatno da je autor na svih 11 pjesama uspio zadržati pozornost slušatelja. Da ovo pišem u Greenwich Villageu početkom šezdesetih, Seed Holden bih bez sumnje pretvorio u zvijezde te legendarne boemske četvrti koja je glazbi dala zvijezde folka poput Boba Dylana, Joan Baez i brojnih drugih. Nažalost, nalazimo se na mjestu i vremenu gdje su kantautori stjerani na samu marginu glazbene scene, a albumi poput The Fall Of My Youth nemaju se priliku predstaviti publici.
Upravo zato, otkrit ću vam malu tajnu, koja će vas nadam se dovoljno zaintrigirati da provjerite govorim li istinu. Do danas, nikad nisam niti pomislio da postoji glazba koja više od Doorsa odgovara vožnji automobila po kiši." (Matko Barišić, Mixeta.hr)
