Ane Brun is a songwriter, guitarist and vocalist, born in Molde, Norway in 1976. Since 2003 she has recorded eight albums. She has lived in Stockholm, Sweden since 2001, where she writes, records and runs her own label (Balloon Ranger Recordings) when not on tour. She moved from her home town in 1995 and spend the next few years moving between Barcelona, Oslo and Bergen. In Bergen she began writing her own material while at university (jumping between courses in Spanish, law and music) as well as making a living working in record shops and bars. After playing a few minor shows and recording her first demos in Bergen in 1999, she moved first to Uppsala and then to Stockholm in 2001, where she started to take her musical career seriously. Ane recorded her debut album ‘Spending Time with Morgan’ in 2002 in both Stockholm and back in Uppsala, with engineers and producers Katharina Nuttall, Cécile Grudet and Kim Nelson. It was released on the label, DetErMine, which she formed with Ellekari Larsson from Swedish band The Tiny. The debut album came out in 11 European countries in 2003 through a licence/distribution deal with V2 Music.

After releasing the first album Ane toured around Europe but soon took some time out. She had been working intensively for two years and felt somewhat burnt out and in need of a break. After a six month breather she started touring around Europe again and within the next year had her second album ready. ‘A Temporary Dive’ was again produced by Katharina Nuttall and was released in 2005 throughout Europe, the US, Japan and Australia. This album took the darker themes of ‘Spending Time With Morgan’ further, through songs like “The Fight Song” and title track ‘A Temporary Dive’ but there was also space for the lighter ‘Song no 6’, a duet with Ron Sexsmith. ‘A Temporary Dive’ was well received all over the world, especially by the press, and it picked up many rave reviews in magazines and newspapers from Time Magazine to The Independent. She received award nominations from all over Europe too, and that year took home the Norwegian Grammy for Best Female Artist. After enjoying the collaboration on the previous few duets she had recorded, Ane was inspired to ask some artists whom she adored to sing with her on a full album called, of course, ‘Duets’. This album was released in November 2005 and besides another recording with Ron Sexsmith it also included songs with artists such as Syd Matters and Teitur. It was a collaboration with the band Madrugada on the single ‘Lift Me’ that gained her another Norwegian Grammy for the shelf at home. Ane spent much of the next couple of years touring the world in many different stage arrangements. She’s played with a full band including string section, just herself and string section at times, sometimes just a cello, perhaps with one backing vocalist – or maybe three. Of course it all started with her and the acoustic guitar, so she often ends up coming back to these solo performances too. “There is something about the focus in playing by myself that fascinates me”, she says. “There’s nothing to hide behind when I’m alone on stage and it becomes almost meditative for me when I play.”

One of her tours was with a string quintet, and it was recorded and released as ‘Live In Scandinavia’ (2007) and featured Nina Kinert and the guitarist Staffan Johansson. The album includes songs from Ane’s first two albums with new string arrangements by Malene Bay-Foged. The next year she released her third studio album, ‘The Changing of the Seasons’ which was produced by Icelandic Valgeir Sigurdsson (Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Múm, Coco Rosie). It includes string arrangements by American composer Nico Muhly (Antony and the Johnsons, Grizzly Bear, ‘The Reader’ Soundtrack). Back on the road, a concert at the Stockholm Concert Hall was filmed and released as a live DVD in 2009. Also in this year came the album ‘Sketches’ which included acoustic, demo versions of the songs on ‘Changing of the Seasons’. The ‘Sketches’ tour featured a stripped down, sparse sound and now touring with musicians Rebekka Karijord, Jennie Abrahamson and Linnea Olsson, there were memorable gigs in places such as the Union Chapel in London. Late in 2009 Ane organised the ‘No More Lullabies’ concert to bring attention to the issues of climate justice. She assembled 24 well-known Swedish artists such as Robyn, Loney Dear, Titiyo and Benny Andersson of ABBA to take part in seven hours of live music and visuals to mark the International Day of Climate Action (October 24th). They succeeded in making some noise on the issue before the upcoming COP15 conference. In 2011 she will release a new album named It All Starts With One. The album is produced by Tobias Fröberg, and should have been recorded 2010, but was postponed when both Peter Gabriel and Ani Difranco – two artists who have meant a lot to Ane – asked her to join them on their tours. Peter Gabriel collaboration with the Scandinavian singer/songwriter continues on his next album New Blood, due to be released this year. The first single ”Do You Remember” from Ane Brun’s upcoming album was released on the 17th of May 2011.

I’m walking
I’m walking along

And I’m humming
I’m humming
One of your songs

I just know one small verse in the middle of it
But it makes me wanna hear it on and on and on and on

I just know one small verse in the middle of it
But it makes me wanna hear it on and on and on and on and on

Everyday
I hear your song now
Everyday
It won’t go away

So I am humming
I’m humming
One of your songs

I just know one small verse in the middle of it
But it makes me wanna hear it on and on and on and on

I just know one small verse in the middle of it
But it makes me wanna hear it on and on and on and on and on

I just know one small verse in the middle of it
But it makes me wanna hear it on and on and on and on

I just know one small verse in the middle of it
But it makes me wanna hear it on and on and on and on and on

So I'm humming
I am humming
One of your songs

Are They Saying Goodbye

Are they saying goodbye
Or is it just like before
Could it be that I
Made him love her more
And does he curse upon my face
Do I symbolize disgrace
Could it be that I
Made him love her more

Well, I refuse to go deeper
I choose to go blind
This trouble just shouldn't be mine
But it's confusing my existence
It's intruding my mind
I guess this trouble is also mine

So I curse upon his face
He's a symbol of my own mistakes
Could it be that she
Makes me love him more

Well, I refuse to go deeper
I choose to go blind.
This trouble just shouldn't be mine
But it's confusing my existence
It's intruding my mind
I guess this trouble is also

Oh, I refuse to go deeper
I choose to go blind
This trouble just shouldn't be mine
But it's confusing my existence
It's intruding my mind
I guess this trouble
This trouble, this trouble
This trouble is also mine

On/Off

I look in the mirror and
I’m weaker than my reflection
This image is all I seek
As I restlessly wonder up a peek

So I turn it off
And on again
Just like the shifting lights
Of day and night in my doorway
And the memories
Of everything
That’s ever said and done
It makes it easier to leave it on

Monotony makes me weary
Assurance awakes destructiveness
As I lie in my diary
To justify the choices I made

So I turn it off
And on again
Just like the shifting lights
Of day and night in my doorway
And the memories
Of everything
That’s ever said and done
It makes it easier to leave it on
It makes it easier to leave it on
It makes it easier to leave it on

I shot my heart to let you go
I shot it down for you but you don't know
I let my soul grow cold
And it's all, it's all I could

Since then I've been reckoning the scars I left on your skin
I've been recognizing the bullets I used for the execution
They went straight through me and into you
And that's where they are stuck in
Since then I've been reckoning the scars I left on your skin

I turned myself into
A different kind of me to be able to
Set my pride aside
And it's all, it's all I could

I'm turning myself in
Crawling down in my coffin
I'm turning myself in
Crawling down in my coffin

I shot my heart to let you go
I shot it down for you but you don't know
I let my soul grow cold
And it's all, it's all I could

It’s like you’re standing on my chest
Looking down
Looking down

It’s like you’re standing on my chest
Looking down
Looking down
With your eyes at me, at me

I am drowning in those eyes
I am drowning in those eyes
I am drowning in those eyes

I can’t breathe
Oh you are
I can’t breathe
With you on top of me
It’s like you’re standing on my chest
Looking down
Looking down
With your eyes at me, at me

I am drowning in those eyes
I am drowning in those eyes
I am drowning in those eyes

I am drowning in those eyes
I am drowning in those eyes
I am drowning in those eyes

So you did it again

So you did it again
I guess you've done this before
You lay all your time and money
On the fuckin' wrong horse

So you did it again
I guess you've been here before
A little kissin' and a lovin'
And your best judgement
Just lying on the floor
Just lying on the floor

So you did it once more
I guess you closed your eyes
Your heartbeat ringin' in your ears
Your fingers through his hair
Oh why oh why oh why
Oh why oh why yeah

One more time

I'll try one more time
One more time
To know you
I’ll try one more time
One more time
To understand
The values you lost
And we kept
What we learned
While you slept
Makes a difference between you and me
It is scary
And makes me wonder one more time
One more time

It´s taking you and me
And everyone to somewhere
Where all conciousness is gone
You walk with your head down
See only the tip of your shoes
And the ground and dirt you walk on

Who taught you to despice
And tell lies you never knew weren't true
Tell each other lies
All lies

The stream you follow to make you strong

It´s taking you and me
And everyone
To somewhere
Where all conciousness is gone
You walk with your head down
See only the tip of your shoes
And the ground and dirt you walk on

I’ll try one more time
One more time
To understand
One more time
One more time

Headphone silence

I´m travelling the wonderful loneliness
Of the headphone silence
Feels like noone can see me
They see right through me
Cuts me off from the rest of the world

The useless strangers sharing my time and space
They might hear my humming, my tapping of fingers anyway
At least I have my thoughts all to myself
My content and the view outside

I see a rainbow complete
Resting its feet on the hill and the ground
Works as an illustration to the sound
This is a whole in time
A couple of hours when the day is
More abstract than usually

I star in this movie
I play the part and unify
With the soundtrack in my head
It could be morning it could be night
I could be anywhere
The headphone silence Which fills my head

I´m travelling the wonderful loneliness
Of the headphone silence

What I Want

Yesterday we did it again
We did what we're supposed to
What is expected of
This constallation of two

Oh that's what I want
That's what I want
Oh that's what I like
That's what I like

Don't let anybody tell you different
Don't let them know
Oh that's what I want
That's what I want

You say that filling me
Is what's filling you
Don't tell them what
What fills you more

Oh that's what I want
Oh that's what I like
Oh that's what I want
Oh that's what I want

Oh that's what I want
That's what I want
Oh that's what I like
That's what I like

Don't let anybody tell you different
Don't let them know
Oh that's what I want
That's what I want

Sleeping by the Fyris River

It´s dawn
The crack of dawn
A saxophone, an armchair, and a small drum

Sunrise, all smiles
It's crack of dawn by the Fyris River
Spring morning
We're singing
The grass is wet from dew
And me and you from wine too
Keeping our feet up
Keeping our feet up
In one armchair by the Fyris River

Sleeping three people in
One armchair by the Fyris River
Sleeping three people in
One armchair by the Fyris River

It's dawn
The crack of dawn
A saxophone, an armchair and a small drum
People passing by
The grass is almost dry
We're sleeping by the Fyris River

Sleeping three people in
One armchair by the Fyris River
Sleeping three people in
One armchair by the Fyris River

When I rest my chest
On this wooden body
Feel my soul pour through my mouth
So that everyone can hear it
Come out

That’s when I know
What it is about
That’s when I realize
How coincident made me find this
One thing inside of me

That’s when I know
What it is about
That’s when I realize
Realize
Realize, realize
Realize

When I rest my chest
On this wooden body
Feel my soul pour through my mouth
So that everyone can hear it
Come out, Come out

That’s when I know
What it is about
That’s when I realize
Realize
Realize, realize
Realize

To Let Myself Go

To let myself go
To let myself flow
Is the only way of being
There's no use telling me
There's no use taking a step back
A step back for me...

In my mind I'm crawling on your floor
Vomiting and defeated
Total absence of grace
Your reluctant voice saying
You decide your own fate but

I wear rubber bands round my soul
They keep me from crawling
And these rubber bands round my soul
They keep me from falling

In my repeated dreams
You stare at me with an empty gaze
You turn your back on me
And you search for more intriguing days
Loathing this
Controlling this
Let me get a hold of this so

I wear rubber bands round my soul
They keep me from crawling
And these rubber bands round my soul
They keep me from falling

So then when you are not in my dreams
And not in my mind
But we are at the same place at the same time
Rubber no longer holds
The borders of my soul

Balloon Ranger

You're holding on to this thread
Connecting you to me
I'm filled with laughing gas and polluted air
This silk lasso 'round my neck
It's pulling me down
Down gently
Gently

You leave me deflated
You give me release
My own private Balloon Ranger
You know what I need
You know what I need
You know what I need
You know what I need

My Lover will go

What am I gonna do
I am crying a bottle of wine over you
This is something I don’t usually do
But I’m crying a bottle of wine over you

For me it is red or nothing
Hey ho my lover will go
And this will ruin everything
Hey ho my lover will go
I’m just too romantic
Hey ho my lover will go
Without any sense of strategies
Hey ho my lover will go, oh oh

Twelve days and many long nights have passed
Since I let go of my heart way to fast
Too many long summer nights
I've been checking for errors on the telephone lines

For me it is red or nothing
Hey ho my lover will go
And this will ruin everything
Hey ho my lover will go
I’m just too romantic
Hey ho my lover will go
Without any sense of strategies
Hey ho my lover will go, oh oh
My lover will go, oh oh

What am I gonna do
I am pouring my heart all over you
I guess I recognize this too
I think I’m falling in love with you

For me it is red or nothing
Hey ho my lover will go
And this will ruin everything
Hey ho my lover will go
I’m just too romantic
Hey ho my lover will go
Without any sense of strategies
Hey ho my lover will go, oh oh
My lover will go, oh oh
My lover will go, oh oh
My lover will go, oh oh

Sometimes we tip toe
Sometimes we run
Sometimes we wander while
Looking at the sun

Sometimes we tip toe
Sometimes we run
Sometimes we wander while
Looking at the sun

Sitting on the cold dirt floor
I want to finish the counting of days on the walls
I build a ladder from broken wish bones
And square-shaped stones
That my friends threw down in the hole

Sometimes we tip toe
Sometimes we run
Sometimes we wander while
Looking at the sun

Sometimes we tip toe
Sometimes we run
Sometimes we wander while
Looking at the sun

And even though I read maps to avoid them
They change location every day
And somehow all of my traces they vanish
But shall one stay put
Shall one lay low
Shall one not go
Just to avoid this hole

Sometimes we tip toe
Sometimes we run
Sometimes we wander while
Looking at the sun

Sometimes we tip toe
Sometimes we run
Sometimes we wander while
Looking at the sun

Laid in Earth

When I am laid in earth
I'm laid in earth
May my wrongs create
No trouble
No trouble
In thy breast

This voice
Is it calling
Is it calling
It's your choice
She said
Take or let go
Is it calling
When you're all alone
In your own sweet home
Is it calling
This voice
Is it calling

I have to say
I choose get out of my way
Leave my ghost alone
Let me walk on by
Let me walk on by
Let me walk on by
Let me walk on by

This voice
It is calling
It is calling for me
If you still haven't heard it
You shouldn't ask for it
You should just leave it be
'Cause you're deaf until
The day for you it will
Be calling
This voice
It is calling

My friend you left me in the end
I can't believe I'm writing a song
Where friend rhymes with end
But today
I must cave in
I have trouble forgetting those beautiful eyes
As it is
I must fill your space with lies

Friend
You left me in the end
I guess I knew it all along
I guess I expected this song
And it is as it appeared
Like a fist in my stomach and
Swallowing tears
Your song turned out a sad one
Just as I feared

Song No. 6

It would be so easy
To sing a song about you
It would be so easy
To sing a sobby pink song about you

I would spend three or four lines
On describing your eyes
And then the next three or four lines
On the dimples of your smile
And then I would tell the world
About the way you hold my hand
And they would
They would understand

It is so easy
To sing this song about you
What you are is inside of me
Could easily be
Could easily be
Could be expressed through
This sobby pink song about you

I would spend three or four lines
On describing your eyes
And then the next three or four lines
On the dimples of your smile
And then I would tell the world
Tell the world
About the way you hold my hand
And they would
They would understand

The Fight Song

I'm gonna fight
This fight
And try to get out of here
And I'm going in with my life
To make sure that you'll disappear

And I will mount you
Press my knees on both sides
And you will let me
Let me, let me ride

And if you don't than I won't
Leave you galloping in my national park
I'll track you down
'Cause I know
Every corner of this countryside

And I will mount you
Press my knees on both sides
And you will let me
Let me, let me ride

I'll pull your mane
As hard as I can
Stick my fingers in your mouth with my cramped-up hand
Until you stop
Then I'll try to get off
Still I'm hanging in your body parts

And even though you are ten Goliaths
I'll hold
I'll hold at feast your head
And as I rest on my wounded left
I'll kick you randomly in the chest
And I'll show you how ribs can capture air
And leave unbearable pressure

And when you're down
I'll lay beside you
I'll catch the remaining glimmer in your eyes
And then later
I'll ask you
As my last and final rescue

All of those little lights in the sky
They only stick your feet to the ground
You'd better keep your head down

All of this little dreams in your mind
They only make you wonder why
When you wake up you start to cry
When you come home you just want to die

There was a time you seemed to be fine
You were a rock when you were a child
Waiting for the turn of the tide

You thought the stars were sending you love
How come you never wondered why
When you came home, you started to cry
When you woke up, you wanted to die

All of this little lights in the sky
If you can make them fall you will rise
Just turn the mic of time

I thought I could be able to find
Something to save all I left behind
But as I grew up I changed my mind
And only remained the stars in the sky
With your innocense fly by

Lift me, lift me from the ground
And don´t ever put me down, oh no
And don’t pick a fight with me
Just flip a coin my love, you’ve won

Oh Love, slips her hand inside my hand
Oh Love, slips her hand inside my hand
I don´t care if you don’t want me
I’m yours, I’m yours right now

Our years, are years well spent
We may never find out where they went, oh no
And I don’t mean to fight with you
Now all our troubles and all our struggles they are through

Oh Love, slips her hand inside my hand
Oh Love, slips her hand inside my hand
I don´t care if you don’t want me
I’m yours, I’m yours right now

The wolf and the fox
They’re sleeping soundly with the elk and the ox
There’s a starry field around
This lowlit kingdom
Where all our defences are down

Oh Love, slips her hand inside my hand
Oh Love, slips her hand inside my hand
I don´t care if you don’t want me
I’m yours, I’m yours right now

Wrecked, poor, naked and blind
I’m yours, I’m yours, right now

In my mind I`m crawling on your floor
Vomiting and defeated
Total absence of grace
Your reluctant voice
Saying you decide your own fate

But I wear rubberbands round my soul
They keep me from crawling
And these rubberbands round my soul
They keep me from falling

In my repeated dreams
You stare at me with an empty gaze
You turn your back on me
And you search for more intriguing days

Loathing this
Controlling this
Let me get a hold of this

So I wear rubberbands round my soul
They keep me from crawling
And these rubberbands round my soul
They keep me from falling

And then when you are not in my dreams
And not in my mind
But we are at the same place
At the same time
Rubber no longer holds
The borders of my soul

( Duet with Lars Bygdén )

I’ve walked this road, went up and down
I’ve walked this road a thousand times
I’ve walked up and ‘round the bend
To find this road it has no end
The road is hard the road is long
It tears you up and wears you down
It feeds you hope and then make you blue
This dirty road where I met you

I saw your face in filthy bars
Where I fed my broken heart
And when I finally caught your eye
I knew a part in me had died
And with my mind too dim to think
I took your hand and I paid your drink
And then we strolled on to my home
A little further down the road

Soon comes the time when you stop to bother
Slowly the wine it’ll turn to water
It’s hard to help it even though you know
Soon you’ll be back on that old road

A few years later down that road
A thousand fights and slamming doors
A thousand lies that I did tell
Hope you still love me anyway
You know there’s changes bound to come
You got me scared and I did run
It took some time but now I know
I won’t go back down that old road

( Sam Brown Cover / Duet with Liv Widell )

All that I have is all that you've given me
Did you never worry that I'd come to depend on you
I gave you all the love I had in me
But now I find you've lied and I can't believe it's true

Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street
And I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on
You talk of love but you don't know how it feels
When you realise that you're not the only one

Ooooh you'd better stop
Before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop
Before you go and break my heart
Oooh you'd better stop

Time after time I've tried to walk away
But it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two
So I just resign myself to it every day
Now all I can do is to leave it up to you

Ooooh you'd better stop
Before you tear me all apart
You'd better stop
Before you go and break my heart

Oooh you'd better stop if you love me
Now's the time to be sorry
I won't believe that you'd walk out on me
Baby

Cross the bridge, go downtown
Then cross your heart, and you will find
A story never told a reason to grow old…

Still don´t know is this for real
Still my heart can always heal
Still don´t know is this for real
When colours they seem to fade
When I´m around

Neighbours never reckognize
The guy upstairs with no disguise
He´s see-through, as it seems
But I know he´s in my dreams
I wish that I could go with him
And feel the strenght he has within
And make him understand
That I don´t know what is planned

Still don´t know is this for real
Still my heart can always heal
Still don´t know is this for real
When colours they seem to fade
When I´m around

And now I´ve seen his footprints on the ground
Across the bridge and down the street in downtown
Still don´t know is this for real
Still my heart can always heal
Still don´t know is this for real
When colours they seem to fade when I´m around

Across the bridge and down the street in downtown

Ohh what a feeling I have inside today
No lack of faith in me, like yesterday
I have too remember exactly where I am
'Cause I don't wanna go in the wrong direction again

Because I have no worries,
Altogether feels easier, right now then ever
I have no worries, no, altogether, feels easier

It's raining outside today, it's getting dark by the noon
Ice cold winter dancing outside my window
I light up a candle, I poor my self some tea.
Inside I'm laughing at how easy it can be

I guess I have no worries,
Altoghter feels easier, right now then ever
I have no worries, no, altogether, feels easier

The best in me
Look at us and try to see
Look at me
I´m your love and misery

The best in you
I understand what you can do
Understand me
I´m your love and misery

You may go
It´s okay restless as you are
Rest with me
I´m your love and misery

This is true
I am fragile just like you
You and me
We are love and misery

I am a lone wolf
A beauty and a beast
Both hunter and hunted
Soft tongue and sharp teeth
I toned from my travels
Yet raw from this road
As I drink from storm puddles
And the stories I'm told

Help me figure this out
Help me figure you in
You're a shadow to me
That I echo when I sing
Help me figure this out
Help me figure you in
To this simple little melody

I have seen angels
They were sleeping in gutters
They were standing in bank lines
They were jumping from towers
They were calling like seagulls
But nobody heard
Such a beautiful message
From such a common bird

We want freedom for ourselves
But we can't give it to each other
We want peace between nations
Yet we battle with our lovers
We're blinded by billboards
And trying to get ahead
We're choking on ambitions
And the words left unsaid
And the words left unsaid
With a simple little melody

I am a lone wolf
A beauty and a beast
Both hunter and hunted
Soft tounge and sharp teeth
I'm toned from my travels
Yet raw from this road
As I drink from storm puddles
And the stories I'm told

Help me figure this out
Let me out
Help me figure you in
Let me in
You´re a shadow to me
You are me
That I echo when I sing
When you sing
Help me figure you out
Let me out
Help me figure you in
Let me in

The treehouse song

When I woke
I took the backdoor to my mind
And then I spoke
I counted all of the good things you are

And that list of charms was
Longer than my chain of broken hearts
And when the day was done
I figured I had already lost
From the start, from the start

I was gonna love you till the end of all daytime
And I was gonna keep all our secret signs and our lullabies
I was made to believe that our love would grow old
We were gonna live in a tree-house and make babies
And we were gonna bury our ex-lovers and their ghosts
Baby we were made of gold

So many times
We drank fine wine in one swallow
And in those late nights
We painted our walls bright yellow

The fall

I’ll get off this boat in a minute
‘Cause I know you’ll be safer without me in it

Then you called
I love you so
Don’t ever let me go
I will fall to the ground

At the time
That we met
We were whole
Then we peeled off
Piece by piece of our souls
We were wrong to stay this long
Let me go
Let me fall to the ground

I’m waiting for you to disarm me
I’ll go off if you don’t remove this weight off of me

The puzzle

I walked into love
I walked into a minefield
I never heard of

I walked into love
I walked into a minefield
I never heard of

Her remains were spread out like the pieces of a puzzle
It took her 365 days putting them together
The pieces were quite difficult to distinguish from each other
They were tiny and the clear blue sky
Went on forever

Clearly the corners were an easy start
That was when everyone was still
Helping me out
When it was time to fill in the frames
They left, they thought I ought
To have gotten over you
By then

Her remains were spread out like the pieces of a puzzle
It took her 365 days putting them together
The pieces were quite difficult to distinguish from each other
They were tiny and the clear blue sky
Went on forever

I wouldn’t do that to you
I wouldn’t do that to you
I wouldn’t do that to you
I wouldn’t do that to you

I walked into love
I walked into a minefield
I never heard of

I walked into love
I walked into a minefield
I never heard of
I never heard of…

My star

You are my star
I’ll stay and catch your fall
Pack your belongings
We’ll hide out
We’ll see it coming

Cause I know you now
I’ll know when you’ll start running
It’s when your dark brown eyes turn black
And I won’t let them suck you in

You are so far
The one who makes me better
In your surroundings
I’m the one I want to be

And you know me now
You know that I’ll come running
It’s when you’re dark brown eyes turn black
I’ll never let them suck you in

My love

Ten seconds

He spends his days worrying how
And when he is gonna die
That is irony in fine
He loves life so much, that’s why
Even if he knows that it is true
He can’t help it in the end

It is those ten seconds
Those ten seconds in your head
When you don’t wonder if you’re alright
You’re just hanging around with yourself, with yourself

Now the weight comes crashing in
I’m trapped in my own skin
Silence, where did you go
You left without letting me know
I don’t want to hear this music
I am a carcass I cannot use it

It is those ten seconds
Those ten seconds in your head
When you don’t wonder if you’re alright
You’re just hanging around with yourself , with yourself

He falls asleep on her chest
The best sleep he'd ever met
Nevertheless
He dreams of some stranger's caress

He awakes and he knows
Maybe someone else is supposed
To meet his hazy anticipating eyes

He draws the curtains aside
Unfolding the first morning light
He glances at his disenchanted life

Restlessness is me, you see
It's hard to be safe
It's difficult to be happy

It's the changing of the seasons
He says 'I need them'
I guess I’m too Scandinavian
The relief of spring

Intoxication of summer rain
The clearness of fall
How winter makes me reconsider it all

Restlessness is me, you see
It's hard to be safe
It's difficult to be happy

And then she awakes
Reaches for the embrace
He decides
Not to worry about seasons again

Lullaby for grown-ups

Go to sleep
With closed eyes
Your prophecies
Won’t be fulfilled tonight

When you think
Of falling skies
Remember there are a million ways to die

Don’t be afraid
Anymore
Don’t wear your inside out
To keep you warm

So rest your head
It’s just as well
You can’t keep the sky from falling
Anyway

Raise my head

I will raise my head now
And travel further than this time
Take all, there is to take on
And then unravel this cellophane mind

I’ve got my best shoes on
I’m ready for it all
Bring in your best crew, come on
I’m ready for it all

I know, for quite a while now
You’ve been knocking silently on my door
I, I’ve been avoiding
Your radiant words on my bedroom walls

I’ve got my best shoes on
I’m ready for it all
Bring in your best crew, come on
I’m ready for it all

Armour

Welcome, my dear friend
I notice you are wearing your armour again
Is it the same as our last fight
Is it residue from last night

Well, I guess I have extended it
I tried to bend it a bit
There was a crack under the chest frame
And a loose screw on the left steel hand

I have to be patient now
I’ll wear this edition somehow
Tell myself that it’s alright
Pick up the loose screws one more time

Cause this armour’s different pieces
Were delivered from different places
With their own delivery dates
I have no choice but to wait

Round table conference

There’s a round table conference going on
Right here in my living room
I’ve been caught behind the door for so long
I don’t even know who is coming in

All I can hear are these mysterious words
I am feeling delirious
I got to get out of here
To where the air is clearer

There’s a round table conference going on
Right here in my living room
I’ve been caught behind the door for so long
I don’t even know who is coming in

There are streams of people passing through my door
I can’t count them anymore
I don’t understand where they’re going or where they’ve been
I don’t even know why I let them in

Gillian played me a song
It was that day when everything was wrong
Gillian singing in my heart, in my ears
And tears running down
I was facing the ground

Gillian played me a song
I was so tired, then the music caressed my skin
Like when someone finally holds you
And you can give in
This you’ve been avoiding
You think you’ll fall apart
But it’s just that new start

She sang about Elvis, she sang about time
Gillian sang about Miss Ohio
And the last remaining song
I stretch my rigid fingers
I clear my throat
This will be all over soon

Now this is long ago
I listen to her and I go back
To that day, that month, that year
That day will never leave my mind
Gillian played me a song

Gillian played me a song
It was that day when everything was wrong
Gillian singing in my heart, in my ears
And tears running down
I was facing the ground

She sang about Elvis, she sang about time
Gillian sang about Miss Ohio
And the last remaining song
I stretch my rigid fingers, I clear my throat
This will be all over soon

She sang about Elvis, she sang about time
Gillian sang about Miss Ohio
And the last remaining song
I stretch my rigid fingers, I clear my throat
This will be all over soon
This will be all over soon

Don't leave

Don’t ever leave
That is what you asked of me
Do you know what it means
When you plead?

Don’t you ever leave
That is what you said to me
Do you know what that can do
To someone like me

It won’t do us no good
It won’t do us no good

I have no plan to be
Anywhere else to but here
Or to become someone that leaves
I didn’t even know there was an exit here
Darling, don’t you try
To capture me

It won’t do us no good
It won’t do us no good

I am here now
I’m right here by your side
I’ll lay my hand on the couch next to you
You can hold it if you would like to

It will do you good

Linger with pleasure

I’ll rent a house somewhere
I’ll listen to biosphere
And all I see there
A straight line in the atmosphere
Every hour will be longer
And I’ll linger with pleasure

The only visitor I will invite
Is the whispering wind or the sunlight
I’ll leave all disturbants at home
The evening papers and the telephone
But I’ll bring my memories
Despite everything
I hope life will miss me

Maybe this is wishful thinking
And maybe I’ll just keep on sinking
But sometimes it’s enough to know
That there is a place where everything is on hold
Where the hours will be longer
And I’ll linger with pleasure

These days

There were nights and mornings
When you came to me
Found your way into my bones, my joints
Into my veins
Like an animal you coiled your darkness around me
You spelled your name in charcoal
All over my body

But these days
I just walk with you
These days
I let you stay

A little further away
But I walk with you
These days
I'll let you stay

There were summer days and nights
When I was blind to you
You were quiet and you were still
Even when the moon was full
My temporary state of lightness would scare me
After all, I was sure
You were most stronger, I was daring

But these days
I just walk with you
These days
I let you stay

These days
I just talk with you
These days
I let you stay

A little further away
But I walk with you
These days
I let you stay

The things you've shown me over the years
The roads you blocked and how you'll define me

These days
I just walk with you
These days
I let you stay

These days
I just talk with you
These days, these days

These days, these days
These days, these days
These days, these days

These days, these days
These days, these days
These days, these days

Words

Words, take her with you
Let her rest in your rhyme
Words, take her away
Somewhere, beyond time

Words, ease her breathing
Lay her softly on the floor
There, let her linger
And listen like ever before

Leave, her windows, uncovered at night
And fill her room with the city lights
As they illuminate the sky
It reminds her of the people outside
‘Cause she won't sleep
Unless she heals her loneliness

Walk with her
Beneath the tree tops
Create new paths and memories
Show her, how the sunlight
Glances through the gaps between the leaves

Words, help her change the world
In only one verse
Tell her to reach for the stars
And to always put love first

Leave, her windows, uncovered at night
And fill her room with the city lights
As they illuminate the sky
It reminds her of the people outside
It reminds her of the people
It reminds her of the people
It reminds her of the people outside

Do You Remember

Do you remember that late morning
When we went back to bed
When we found our first position
And every muscle rested

I do remember that I already
Knew it was the last time
The last time for first positions
The last time you beeing mine

Do you remember the scars I showed you
The stories I told you
How I always said forever
When you asked me to stay true

Do you remember when we forgot how
To smile at each other
To believe that the other
Wants only what’s good for you

Do you remember that late morning
When we went back to bed
When we found our first position
And every muscle rested

I do remember that I already
Knew it was the last time
The last time for first positions
The last time you beeing mine

What's Happening With You And Him

What's happening with you and him
Do you believe you can find a way to begin again
Is it still there, do you really care
Do you need this, is this the love that you missed

What's happening with you and him
Are you looking for each other
Around your old selves again
Walking on old paths inhaling the dust
Is this the love that got lost

What if you don't know
What if you just let time show
Is it worth it, is it sane, when love goes away again
Can you get yourself together then

What's happening with you and him
Do you believe you can find a way to begin again
Can you trust him, can you take his word
Can you really really give him yours

What's happening with you and him
Are you looking for each other
Around your old selves again
Walking on old paths inhaling the dust
Is this the love that got lost

What if you don't know
What if you just let time show
Is it worth it, is it sane, when love goes away again
Can you get yourself together then

When love goes away again
Can you get yourself together then

Let love show it's some phase
Let love show our faith
Let love show it's some phase
Let love show our faith

Let love show it's some phase
Let love show our faith
Let love show it's some phase

Lifetime

All this time
I've been drawing your lifeline
As I held your hand in mine
I've been smoothing out our troubles
While my own I left behind

All this time
I've been painting our portrait
But I can't seem to make it shine
The angle doesn't seem to matter
Perhaps the problem's with the light

It's taking so long
And it's gonna take a little more
Please prove me wrong
Is it gonna take a little more

All in time
A whisper speaks of gladness
Sweet release and smiles
I'll be carrying your laughter
Like a favourite work of art

One

It all starts somewhere
It all starts with one
Everything comes from something
It all starts with one

It all starts somewhere
It all starts with one
Nothing comes from nothing
It all starts with one

First everything is dry
Before the dew and the drops align
Then the rain starts falling down
Then comes the flood, the flood
That’s right the flood
The flood, the flood

We all start somewhere
We all start with one
Everyone comes from something
We all start with one

We all start somewhere
We all start with one
No one comes from nothing
We all start with one

First everything is quiet
A breath of air from lips and tongue
Then the sound makes the world wild
One, two, three more
We can do more
Much more, let's do more
Much more, let's say more
We are more

Stones from dust
Anger from fear
Poetry from heartbeats
Revolution from dreams
Revolution from dreams
Revolution from dreams

It all starts somewhere
It all starts with one
Everything comes from something
It all starts with one
Starts with one

The Light From One

I am holding your torch
I won't hold it no more
You can have it, take it, use it

I am holding your torch
I won't hold it no more
You can have it, take it, use it

I'll need both my hands to hold my own
I need only one light
The light from one

I'm in your room
We've been here for weeks now
Your windows are painted
With nothing real
I hear music, filtering through it all
I press my ear against the wall

I'll need both my hands to hold my own
I need only one light
The light from one

Before it gets dark
Before it's all gone
I know I have to put yours down
The light is going dim
Our torches, they are both fading

I'll need both my hands to hold my own
I need only one light
The light from one

I'll need both my hands to hold my own
I need only one light
The light from one

I'll need both my hands
I'll need both my hands
I'll need both my hands
I'll need both my hands

I'll need both my hands to hold my own
I need only one light
The light from one

Oh Love

Oh love
Right from the start
You were old love
Like we've never been parted
You kissed me
Your hands down my side to my hips
Still shivers inside
All the breathing
From your mouth through mine
About how long
There's hunger for one more time
Lover of mine, when I kissed you
I felt so good

Tell this tale to me
Well I won't believe
That I'm already here
Tell this tale to me
No, I won't believe
That we're already here

Oh love, you covered my skin
With your eyes as they found me
I kissed you, danced in your sand
And fell into a never ending moment
And the whisper from your mouth through mine
With those words that gently filled my lungs
Lover of mine, when I'm with you
I forget how am I to being lonely
Living without you
Spend another day passing by you
Don't wanna know how it feels if I do

Tell this tale to me
No, I won't believe
That I'm already here

Tell this tale to me
I won't believe
That we're already here

Tell me, this is real
No, I won't believe
I won't believe
No, I won't believe
No, I won't believe
No, I won't believe

Undertow

I must follow
These movements wherever they go
I must follow
These movements wherever they go
I'm caught in your undertow
Caught in your undertow

I've been trying
So hard, I've been out here so long
I've been trying
So hard, I've been swimming so long
I'm caught in your undertow
I'm caught in your undertow

Take me out to sea
Away from you and me
Let me float
Lead me out to sea
Let me go
Let me rise towards the sky
Let me take in this light
Let the shore disappear from sight
I'm caught in your undertow
Caught in your undertow
Caught in your undertow

I'm so tired
I must get up for air
But I can't find it
What's up or what's down out here
I'm caught in your undertow
Caught in your undertow

Take me out to sea
Away from you and me
Let me float
Lead me out to sea
Let me go
Let me rise towards the sky
Let me take in this light
Let the shore disappear from sight
I'm caught in your undertow
I'm caught in your undertow
Undertow
Undertow
Undertow

Dirty Windshield

You smiled at me
Through a dirty windshield
You just got back
From where the cyclone hit
You said you've been
In the center of it
Where it was all so still

Later that day
You told me your story
You were in a fight
And you still survived
You discovered a timeline without end
And all you had was an inch to spend

When nighttime fell
You talked about how
You see life as a chain
Of moments in vain
They are stepping stones to lead you forward
You don't look over shoulders

The morning after
You had a dream
Where you realized
You had to do some sight
Engraved right there
We are lover's sights
There we are like four eyes

Take It Slow

Take it slow, take it slow
You and me let's take it slow
Take it slow, take it slow
You and me, let's take it slow

What does it mean to take it slow
It all seems so mean when we take it slow

Take it slow, take it slow
You and me, let's take that slow
Come on to me, slowly
And take a slow slow slow slow night
Just you and me

Take it slow, take it slow
You and me let's take it slow
Take it slow, take it slow
You and me, let's take it slow

What does it mean to take it slow
It all seems so mean when we take it slow

Take it slow, take it slow
You and me let's take it slow
Take it slow, take it slow
When you're next to me
I can't take it slow

One Last Try

I wish I had one last try
Hidden somewhere inside
But it’s all been spend before

When I reach for it I can sense it in my hand
And when I try to grasp it
It’s like sand, or water
Through my hopeful fingers

This just won’t hold, hold
This just won’t hold, hold

There’s something so half-full about us
We get so little but what we get it tastes so much
We’re always longing for more

Is this the end of the thread
The thread that led me to loose my head
Over something that started with/in wonder

This just won’t hold, hold

And even if a butterfly lives a houndred years
Or the stream of water turns around in the rivers
You and me, we’ll still be the same
You and me, we’ll still be the same

Queen And King

You were my queen
My queen, my everything
When you reigned, I followed
Oh where is your queendom today

You were my king
My king, my everything
I obeyed and I bowed
Oh where is your kingdom today

Your love was my air
And my air was yours already
Love is all that I had
To bring to my queen and king

I looked up at you
You looked down on me
Winner now of your hand
Wipe your tears
My queen is dead

Your worst mistake has walls
They can not be moved, not be
No one moves a brick wall
With their hands, only over their hearts

Tell me now how this works
King and queen
When it hurts
Do a bow and follow
Do I spread my wings and fly

(English Version)

Your tears are much heavier these days
I've seen them coming in like waves
From the ocean I've seen them calling
From the ocean I've seen them growing

I move in with the water
The rocking is getting most of you
And I'll sail with you any way
We will make it a little farther
Don’t you worry, we’re almost there

You and me
I will be here
Always here
You and me

Your tears are much heavier these days
I've seen them coming in like waves
From the ocean I've seen them calling
From the ocean I've seen them growing

I move in with the water
I move in with the water

You and me
I will be here
Always here
You and me
I will be here
Always here
You and me
I will be here

I Would Hurt A Fly

( Doug Martsch / Cover )

I can't get that sound you make out of my head
I can't even figure out what's making it
No one else around even seems to be noticing
It's only small enough for me

I can't get that sound you make out of my head
I can't even figure out what's making it
It feels like fingernails across the moon
Or do you rub your wings together

There's a mean bone in my body
It's connected to the problems that I won't take for an answer
No I won't take that from you
Because I'd hurt a fly

I can't get that sound you make out of my head
I can't even figure out what's making it
No one else around even seems to be noticing
It's only small enough for me

There's a mean bone in my body
It's connected to the problems that I won't take for an answer
No I won't take that from you
Because I'd hurt a fly

Let you go to sleep
Feeling bad as me
Let you go to sleep
Feeling bad

There's a mean bone in my body
It's connected to the problems that I won't take for an answer
No I won't take that from you
Because I'd hurt a fly

I need another place
Will there be peace
I need another world
This one’s nearly gone

Still have too many dreams
Never seen the light
I need another world
A place where I can go

I’m gonna miss the sea
I’m gonna miss the snow
I’m gonna miss the bees
I’ll miss the things that grow

I’m gonna miss the trees
I’m gonna miss the sun
I’ll miss the animals
I'm gonna miss you all

I need another place
Will there be peace
I need another world
This ones nearly gone

I’m gonna miss the birds
Singing all their songs
I’m gonna miss the wind
Been kissing me so long

Another world
Another world
Another world

Alfonsina y el mar

( Ariel Ramirez & Felix Luna / Cover )

Por la blanda arena que lame el mar
Su pequeña huella no vuelve más
Y un sendero solo de pena y silencio llegó
Hasta el agua profunda
Y un sendero solo de penas puras llegó
Hasta la espuma

Sabe Dios que angustia te acompañó
Qué dolores viejos calló tu voz
Para recostarte arrullada en el canto
De las caracolas marinas
La canción que canta en el fondo oscuro del mar
La caracola

Te vas Alfonsina con tu soledad
¿ Qué poemas nuevos fuiste a buscar ?
Y una voz antigua de viento y de sal
Te requiebra el alma y la está llamando
Y te vas, hacia allá como en sueños
Dormida Alfonsina, vestida de mar

Cinco sirenitas te llevarán
Por caminos de algas y de coral
Y fosforescentes caballos marinos harán
Una ronda a tu lado
Y los habitantes del agua van a jugar
Pronto a tu lado

Bájame la lámpara un poco más
Déjame que duerma, nodriza en paz
Y si llama él no le digas que estoy
Dile que Alfonsina no vuelve
Y si llama él no le digas nunca que estoy
Di que me he ido

Te vas Alfonsina con tu soledad
¿ Qué poemas nuevos fuiste a buscar ?
Y una voz antigua de viento y de sal
Te requiebra el alma
Y la está llamando
Y te vas, hacia allá como en sueños
Dormida Alfonsina, vestida de mar

Big in Japan

( Alphaville Cover / Myspace song )

Winters cityside
Crystal bits of snowflakes
All around my head and in the wind I had no illusions
That I'd ever find a glimps of summers heatwaves in your eyes

You did what you did to me, now it's history I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when your big in japan

When your big in Japan, tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan where the eastern seas so blue

Big in Japan, alright
Pay, then Ill sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan

Neon on my naked skin
Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo
Or shall I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes

You did what you did to me, now it's history I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight
It's easy when your big in japan

When your big in Japan, tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan where the eastern seas so blue

Big in Japan, alright
Pay, then Ill sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan
Big in Japan, big in Japan

Joga

(Björk cover / Live at Polar Music Prize Ceremony 2010)

All these accidents
That happen
Follow the dot
Coincidence
Makes sense
Only with you
You don't have to speak
I feel

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this

State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be

All that no one sees
You see
What's inside of me
All the nerves that hurt
You heal
Deep inside of me, oo-oohh
You don't have to speak
I feel

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me - confuse
Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this

State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be

State of emergency
How beautiful to be

Emotional landscapes
They puzzle me
Then the riddle gets solved
And you push me up to this

State of emergency
How beautiful to be
State of emergency
Is where I want to be

State of emergency
How beautiful to be

Koop Islands Blues

( Koop Featuring Ane Brun )

Hello my love
It's getting cold on this island
I'm sad alone
I'm so sad on my own
The truth is
We were much too young
Now I'm looking for you
Or anyone like you

We said goodbye
With the smile on our faces
Now you're alone
You're so sad on your own
The truth is
We run out of time
Now you’re looking for me
Or anyone like me

Na na na na…

Hello my love
It's getting cold on this island
I'm sad alone
I'm so sad on my own
The truth is
We were much too young
Now I'm looking for you
Or anyone like you

Time takes care of the wound
So I can believe
You had so much to give
You thought I couldn’t see

Gifts for boot heels to crush
Promises deceived
I had to send it away
To bring us back again

Your eyes and body brighten
And silent waters deep
Your precious daughter
In the other room, asleep

A kiss “Goodnight” from every
Stranger that I meet
I had to send it away
To bring us back again

Morning theft
Unpretender left
Ungraceful

True self is
What brought you here, to me
A place where we can accept this love
Friendship battered down by useless history
An unexamined failure

What am I still to you
Some thief who stole from you
Or, some fool drama queen
Whose chances were few

That brings us to who we need
A place where we can save
A heart that beats as both siphon and reservoir

You’re a woman, I’m a calf
You’re a window, I’m a knife
We come together
Making chance in the starlight

Meet me tomorrow night
Or any day you want
I have no right to wonder
Just how, or when

You know the meaning fits
There’s no relief in this
I miss my beautiful friend

I have to send it away
To bring her back again

She Belongs To Me

( A Tribute to Bob Dylan's 'Bringing It All Back Home' LP )

She's got everything she needs
She's an artist, she don't look back
She's got everything she needs
She's an artist, she don't look back
She can take the dark out of nighttime
And paint the daytime black

You will start out standing
Proud to steal her anything she sees
You will start out standing
Proud to steal her anything she sees
But you will wind up peeking through her keyhole
Down upon your knees

She never stumbles
She's got no place to fall
No she never stumbles
She's got no place to fall
She's nobody's child
The law can't touch her at all

She wears an Egyptian ring
That sparkles before she speaks
She wears an Egyptian ring
That sparkles before she speaks
She's a hypnotist collector
You are a walking antique

Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
Bow down to her on Sunday
Salute her when her birthday comes
For Halloween give her a trumpet
And for Christmas, buy her a drum

( Live in Scandinavia / Jeff Buckley Cover )

Love, let me sleep tonight
On you couch
And remember the smell of the fabric
Of your simple city dress

Oh that was so real
Oh that was so real

We walked around til the moon got full like a plate
The wind blew an invocation and I fell asleep at the gate
And I never stepped on the cracks 'cause I thought i'd hurt my mother
And I couldn't awake from the nightmare that sucked me in and pulled me under
Pulled me under

Oh that was so real
Oh that was so real
Oh that was so real

The dancer

( Live in Scandinavia / PJ Harvey Cover )

He came riding fast like a phoenix out of fire flames
He came dressed in black with a cross bearing my name
He came bathed in light and the splendor and glory
I can't believe what the lord has finally sent me

He said dance for me, fanciulla gentile
He said laugh awhile, I can make your heart feel
He said fly with me, touch the face of the true God
And then cry with joy at the depth of my love

'Cause I've prayed days, I've prayed nights
For the lord just to send me home some sign
I've looked long, I've looked far
To bring peace to my black and empty heart

My love will stay 'till the river bed run dry
And my love lasts long as the sunshine blue sky
I love him longer as each damn day goes
The man is gone and heaven only knows

'Cause I've cried days, I've cried nights
For the lord just to send me home some sign
Is he near, is he far
Bring peace to my black and empty heart

So long day, so long night
Oh Lord, be near me tonight
Is he near, is he far
Bring peace to my black and empty heart

True Colors

( Cindy Lauper Cover / Changing of the seasons I-Tunes Bonus Track )

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
But the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a Rainbow

Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I’ll be there

And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that’s why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
True colors are beautiful
