”The most eerie, quirky, beautiful and unusual artist I’ve heard since Goldfrapp’s stunning debut at Sonar in 2000. As off the wall and alien as Bjork was when she first went solo, with none of the irritating kittenishness of Stina Nordenstam, Hanne Hukkelberg and her wonderful musicians already have a totally unique and fully realised sound and vision, live and on their debut CD entitled Little Things” Pierre Perronne, in Record of the Day, UK.

Hanne Hukkelberg has spent the last two years riding her bike around Oslo collecting sounds and impressions. She has taken these elements to the studio where she and producer Kåre Chr. Vestrheim have been pasting it all together. On top they’ve had jams on wine glasses, banjo, fiddle, accordion and dish washing brushes as well as contributions from visiting musicians from bands such as Jaga Jazzist, Kaada, Shining, Kiruna and Exploding Plastix. Day by day a special sound has developed to accompany Hanne’s gentle, soothing voice. It’s not jazz, not pop nor electronica, but a timeless mix of it all. On tour Hanne brings along five gifted musicians with a strange mix of instruments to give the audience an atmospheric and thrilling concert experience

Searching

I was a lovely hunter
With just fingers and a palm
I'd hunt a dust through a gentle breeze
And grab it between the point and thumb
I raised a dust, started the search
The more I tried the harder it became
But when I sat down, it fell into my hand

I was a lonely hunter
Bow and arrow on my back
I couldn't see, had to count on my heart
Then i knew i would find the one
I tried the best i could
But got lost in the woods
Searched all night, but couldn´t see
But now that I can see
My man will come to me

Little girl

Go, little girl, to the woods, the trees
They've been waiting for you and your
Springscream in green
You've come to make them see
And to set them free
And then run into spring

Run, little girl, and bring your spade
Start to dig up their cold and frozen souls
You'll see that far underneath
There's a soul you can take
With you into the spring

Thoughts of the winter; freezing cold and tired
White and burying snow slowly, slowly
Laid the woods to sleep
Everything is lying still
Until somebody wakes them

Listen, little girl, the sun will tell you that
All the rays will come visit you now
The sun will spread its light and
Bring you all into the spring

Cast Anchor

Once i had this urge to go sailing
Leaving the shore in a boat of wood.
Sailing, sailing on, all alone

I will cast anchor a place where it's calm
And stay for a while
Sit back and wonder how things are down under and smile

Not the urge to go somewhere else
Not the urge to blow away
Not the urge to travel far
But the urge for standstill

I can imagine the fine weather
Sunrays' playing between kind waves
A jumping fish says hello and the birds are singing

Do not as i do

She was haunted by the dead but friendly ghosts.
As her helpers they stayed as her hosts.
And the reason why she kept them was her fear for herself.
Yes, she was dangerous, she might

Drink some wine, sing all night, mess up the yard,
Steal a man, rape his love, then throw it away
And she became what she tried to avoid, she said

Do now as i say, darling, not as i do.
See the way i play, kid, not do as i do.
Do do dodo do do dodo do do not as i do
Or you'll feel blue.

That which no one knew was that her own love was gone,
Stolen from her dead man long ago.
Their son was treated bad 'cause of her ego and selfish thoughts.
She cared less 'bout him than 'bout her own.

He was soft, now he's hard,
Seemingly strong.
All he gets is empty looks,
No confirmation.
All he was taught was throught her and (to) keep quiet, see

Do now as i say, darling, not as i do....

It was like a crime she can't undo.
Now nothing can be done and
It runs in his blood, too

It's not possible to teach a kid by preaching
When you do the opposite.

Do now as i say, darling, not as i do...

Balloon

He still held my hand in his thread
His head filled with helium
Pulled me up so i couldn't walk
But look at things from a different angle

To hang on to my balloon
And to be shown a glimpse of the truth
Made my cheek flush and my mouth smile
My chest's like a cage full of butterflies
It tickled and i laught ”such a rare, rare joy”

Suddenly the balloon loosened itself, he said
“I have to move further on, i'll keep on flying
Keep on showing the truth from my point of view”

I fell down on a cottonpavement painted blue
And i lost the sight, lost the moment and my view
The only truth that I knew, moments swiftly disappear

Displaced

As your heart i'll be with you
But in pain 'cause this things
I'm with you but not in you
In the place i should be

As your heart i beat for you
But you woun't beat with me
I'm ashamed of you
'Cause you've put me in your mind
Oh, what a shame

As your heart i'm a prisoner
Trapped behind bars of your mind
I'm not guilty, so it's a pity
That you won't let me through

Ease

I'm gonna ease my pain
I'll freeze my brain
I'm a whistling man with some
Whistling booze
I please her cheak, then let her loose

'Cause when i'm with a girl
I know what i deserve
I take the main bite
But i always leave them in the morninglight

I'm gonna wake up each morning
And stay cool
I'm a smiling man with a smiling lie
I please my sin, or i'll die!

When i'm with my friends
It can be pretty tense
'Cause what i do and what i say
Is not exactly the same.
But i don't care

And for God's sake, i need the time
To restrain the lie
Ease my pain
And freeze my brain

'Cause when i'm with a girl
I know what i deserve
I take the main bite
But i always leave them
And when i'm with my friends
It can be pretty tense
Because of what i do and what i say
I always leave them
But when i'm all alone
My tiny heart of foam
Dries a little...

Conversion

The sea is like a neverending tune
And it comforts with its wave so pure
Comes in every corner of my body
And smiles and warmes
And it peels me with the sand
I wish i could convert to waves
And become the sea
Then i could clean you, clean you

Moments are scratching on my knee
I fight with the thoughts of fear
Fear for the loneliness i know
I'm alone as the sea
'Cause the pain you do in me
I wish i could convert to you
And you to the sea
“Clean me, clean me!”

True love

Wandering eyes stare at me
The look is weird
But fixed at me
I'm on it
Tell me it is true love!

Falling into a dream of harmony
Can't get clean and tidy now
Tell me it is true love!

Brush the hair aside
Faces are visible
It growes a flower in
Tell me it is true love!

Music plays for me
I've never heard it this way before
Strange...
Tell me it is true love!

I have fallen in love
Mirror showes a beautiful tree
Beautiful me
Tell me it is true love!

Kæft

I admit
I wonder
I sometimes
Wonder where you are

Takk!
Hold kkkkkkæft mann!

Words and a piece of paper

How do i put words about love on a piece of paper
Will a beloved let a cliché thrill him
Then should i dare present my love

La la la la la la la la...

But on writing this
I find it impossible that my beloved will misunderstand

Boble

Boble av bomull
Spinner rundt
Med meg
Inni seg
Gjennomsiktig

Sansene svimles
Synet sløres
Bobletid

Hver detalj
Blir større her
Som snekrystallens
Mange tær og
Sirkelens mange
Hjørnetenner

Berlin

Picking dry
And crispy paint flakes
Off a large, white
Bracket-wall
While I stare
Out of my window
Stare at my neighbours balcony

Old bullet holes.
Behind wild botany.

On the outside
Of the penny marked
Punks are selling
Black and white fanzines
She buys one walks on by
To another
Black and white
The women meet
Black and white
The women kiss

Doodelei…

Shy, polite
You show me yourself.
Forgetting regretting
But conscientiously humble
You, you tell about your past
And with open arms
You listen to mine

Ooh dei doodelei….

A Cheater’s Armoury

All above board
And we see nothing
Clean and empty hands
But still there’s something lurking
We believe you when you lie
Buy your word, then you deny
Pay your wealth, you leave us high and dry

You gamester
You tell us
Our fortunes by your cards
And you’re rubbing yourself deep
Into our wounds.

You gamester
You fool us
We watch your spinning wheel
And we scratch
And we itch
And the longer it takes for us
To heal

You promise ten birds
But in the bush
Each and every sunday
Sell your “letters of indulgence”
We believe you when you lie
Buy your word, then you deny,
Pay your wealth, you leave us high and dry

You gamester
You tell us
Our fortunes by your cards
And you’re rubbing yourself deep
Into our wounds.

You gamester
You fool us
We watch your spinning wheel
And we scratch
And we itch
And the longer it takes for us
To heal

A cheater’s armoury
A cheater’s armoury
Cheater’s armoury

You gamester
You tell us
Our fortunes by your cards
And you’re rubbing yourself deep
Into our wounds.

You gamester
You fool us
We watch your spinning wheel
And we scratch
And we itch
And the longer it takes for us
To heal
You gamester
You fool us
We watch your spinning wheel
And we scratch
And we itch
And the longer it takes for us
To heal

All you’ve got is shifty eyes
A black dress, a false name

The Pirate

He woke up
Six o’clock AM
In his boat
Drifting far out nowhere
Nothing matters now
He thought he had decided
To do it properly

Some friends
Helped him out
The brown liquor
Some white, little ones

A dive into
Infinity, eternity
God’s haven
A dive into water
The rocks pull him down

The fight he fought inside
Had gone on far too long now
At least long enough
I want to do myself and mine
A last and final favour
He tightened his backpack
I’m ready to dive
Start a second life

A dive into
Infinity, eternity
God’s haven
A dive into water
The rocks pull
His body down
But brings his soul
Even higher
Even higher

A dive into
Infinity, eternity
God’s haven
A dive into water
The rocks pull him down

A dive into
Infinity, eternity
God’s haven
A dive into water
The rocks pull
His body down
But brings his soul
Even higher
Even higher
Even higher

Fourteen

Heart in mouth
Awkward rare
Wet behind the ear
Inside out
Outside’s gone
You’re two parts in one
It might be strenuous
Snakes cast their skin
Slowly

One is old
One is new
Both of them are you
One’s a bore,
The other’s cool
Sometimes you’re a fool
It might be strenuous
Snakes cast their skin
Slowly

When I put them
Beside each other
I see several persons.
When you put them
Upon each other
You’ll find yourself
You’ll become one
One, one

One is good
One is bad
This only makes you sad
Outside stinks
Dries and shrinks
What’s underneath is pink
Your mother say short and curt
Bursting buds do hurt
It would be strenuous
Snakes cast their skin
Slowly

The North Wind

The north wind
And the sun
Made a bet about getting
The coat off a man
The wind from the north
Lost the bet

The cold north wind blows
Blows forcefully
Too strong

We struggle
Through your contrary wind
Your high jinks
Makes us strive even more
With our coats
As your sail
You try to blow us away

The cold north wind knows
He blows forcefully
The more the wind blows
The more tightened we’ll be

Isn’t it nice
With some warmth
We only reveal ourselves
And change ourselves
When we’re sheltered

The cold north wind knows
He blows forcefully
The more the wind blows
The more tightened we’ll be

The cold north wind knows
He blows forcefully
The more the wind blows
The more tightened we’ll be

North wind, north wind
Come when the days are doze
North wind, north wind
Come when the coat’s on fire
North wind, north wind
Come when the sun chokes us

Obelix

Light feet
Runs towards me
His eyes
Dark green

A good heart
Wise and knowing soul
Olden soul
Dinosaur
Sincere
Open
Playful
Aware

Obelix
Gives me what I need
Not what
I want
That is a deed

Obelix’s castle
Is far away.
The woods, his krypton
The woods, a crib
The woods, his home
At home

He wouldn’t divulge
His pride supreme
He hides
His tongue
His words
His song

Break My Body

( The Pixies Cover / Live on limited 2-track single Do Not as I Do/Break My Body )

I'm a horny loser
You'll find me crashing
Through my mother's door
And I’m the ugly lover
They find us rolling on a dirty floor

I'm a horny loser
You'll find me crashing
Through my mother's door
And I’m the ugly lover
They'll find us rolling on a dirty floor

Break my body
Hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body
Hold my bones, hold my bones

I’m a belly dancer
I’ll shake forever
Say that I’ll never care
And I’m a building jumper
Roof to roof
You see me flying in the air

Break my body
Hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body
Hold my bones, hold my bones

Break my body
Hold my bones, hold my bones
Break my body
Hold my bones, hold my bones…

Somebody got hurt
Somebody get hurt
Somebody got her

Ticking Bomb

On me
There’s a button
They’ve ticket the goods
They’ve labeled the luggage
They sent me here
To a sterile
White waiting room
Not only I know
I contain a ticking bomb

They say
The word
They know
The word is the code
He oughta handle it
Oh, I explode
Into pieces
Do I care
My dismal lifework

Who am I
What have I done
I’ve lost my self again
I’ve punished the good
The innocent, my beloved
My liberator, my saviour

I know the situation
I realize my deeds
Blowing off the bomb
Was lengthening
Way out of hell
Now who am I
Deserving mercy now
Done is done
Perhaps I need
Another bomb

Pynt

Overflatens list
Blunker
Lokker så til seg dåren
Og salter sår
Men elskes
Høyt, over alt

Vi bygger i høyden
En fasade
Ingen må se bak
Helst ikke engang du
Der bærebjelken er
Spikret utenpå

Tresko og grus

Det blinker
Foran nesen
Gripe tak
Gjemme seg bak
Heller mystisk
Enn lystig
Å gjemme dyret
Fremmer uhyret
Utenpå

The successor after the professor

Hundred and fifty years old
A mind colored in gold
He barely believes he's alive
Knuckles and blod's getting dry

Can't go to sleep at night
He has to complete his fight
But everything draws towards an\ the end
He cannot anylonger pretend

But his work and ideas still live
There's so much more to give
There must be a way this can be solved
A sollution both simple and bold

As clear as lightning from the sky
As obvious as day and night
The idea was that teh professor, of course
Needed a successor
