about

When trying to describe the album to others, and to myself, I would say that the structure is like walking around a house, where each track is it’s own room.


Every track should feel like it’s connected to the rest, but still have a trait that makes it different from the other tracks.


The many soloists on this album make the sound varied, but I wanted to do something different for the final track, and decided that a song would be a fitting end to this, otherwise, instrumental album.



‘Lad Sneen Falde’ was I song I wrote with Mette Marie Jensen Ørnstrup many years ago, but it never evolved into anything but a simple demo.


That said, I always thought quite fondly of it, and it was so obvious to me that this would be the perfect opportunity to finish and rearrange the song.



I wanted a crystal clear, folk’ish voice, and being a longtime fan of the Danish band ‘Basco’, it really was a no-brainer for me to ask Jullie Hjetland if she would sing this song.

It’s been so rewarding for me finally to hear this song come to life, and Jullie’s performance is nothing short of breathtaking.

lyrics

Lad sneen falde
Den bringer fred

I mørket vil jeg kalde
På lavinen i skred

Lad ekstasen gå distancen
Bringe balance
I mørket kan man sove

Blå bløde bakker

Giver grønt genskær i spejlet

Som jeg dykker ned i
Med al min kraft skal du se

Ska du mærke
Ska du mærke

Lad muren dale
Støvsky af liv

Og de Tusinde timers tale
Gør os fri fra sig selv

Lad de nøgne øjne standse
flammerne danse
I nat den vågnes langsomt
Uden alting
