about

Written originally as a reflection of the events surrounding my life in New York City in September, 2001.

First re-released for FREE in memory of the 76 people who were senselessly massacred in Norway on 22 July, 2011, and the countless of other victims who were injured or lost loved ones and colleagues.|

Now released again worldwide in 2020, as we all share the fight against the spread of the pandemic Corona Virus and the loss of lives along with the world as we once knew it.

Please be smart, be healthy, and stay safe. Life is too precious.

lyrics

THIS WORLD
(Music & lyrics by Mark Steiner)


This world’s not the same as it was
On the day that I met her
In the way that she led me to her heart
This world’s not the same as it was
How I long for that moment
Just before the world around us fell apart
This world’s not the same...

Not long ago, my heart was empty
And the bottle was my best friend
I’d given up on finding true love
Through misfortune and misery
I’d lost all hope, but it didn’t matter
I’d had enough with dead end roads
But a twist of fate brought me to her
The lovely blossom who saved my soul

This world’s not the same as it was
On the day I was was smitten
With the words that she had written from her heart
This world’s not the same as it was
On the day we were married
With a kiss which did bind us in the park
This world’s not the same

It all changed on the day I abandoned my love
I looked up to the skies when a bird cried above
As the blue turned to black I ran back to our home
Nevermore would I leave my poor love alone

This world’s not the same as it was
On the day that I met her
Yeah the way that she showed me to her heart
This world’s not the same as it was
How I long for that moment
Just before the world around us fell apart
This world’s not the same...

Mark Steiner & His Problems image

Mark Steiner & His Problems Oslo, Norway

Mark Steiner is a well-known figure in Oslo’s music underworld, and he’s been around in Norway for so long that many assume that he is Norwegian. He is not. This ex-New Yorker is a wandering scoundrel who one might find hanging out in the shadowy corners of a pub at closing time. A international musical vagrant who might walk the streets with Stuart Staples, Nick Cave, and Rowland S. Howard... ... more
