I’m In
(Magne Furuholmen)
Give in
Don’t give up
Breathe
Don’t you stop
Breathe in
Just breathe
There are times
Good times after these
Whatever you want or need
Wherever you have to be
Whatever you have to believe
I’m in
Begin
Never give up
Never you stop
Don’t let the forces that pull us apart
Think they can win
Just believe
Whatеver they say
Therе is a door to a future unseen
Leading this way
Whatever you want or need
Whatever it takes to be free
Whatever you have to believe
I’m in
Begin
Whatever you think you’re worth
However much you hurt
Whatever you have to believe
I’m in
Begin
Whatever you want or need
Whatever it takes to be free
Whatever you have to believe
I’m in
Begin
Hunter In The Hills
(Paul Waaktaar-Savoy)
There’s a hunter in the hills
I heard a shot rang out
There’s a hunter in the hills
Of that there is no doubt
Clouds sweep through the treetops
At dawn
Dissolving into nothing
The battle lines are drawn
Hunter in the hills
Hunter in the hills
He’s looking for a kill
There’s a hunter in the hills
I heard a shot rang out
There’s a hunter in the hills
Of that there is no doubt
Clouds sweep through the treetops
At dawn
Dissolving into nothing
The battle lines are drawn
Hunter in the hills
Hunter in the hills
He’s looking for a kill
He’s looking for a kill
As If
(Paul Waaktaar-Savoy)
When you point at the sky
What you hit will be far away
Funny that
With the naked eye
You might look at a star and say
It’s like somebody’s playing with us
It’s borderline suspicious
As if
The hum of the heavens above
Murmurs from the afterglow
Will not be mysteries for all tomorrows
As if
I’ll empty out a lake with a spoon
Buy a plot of land on the moon
Where we can hide away
And tend our sorrows
Will you look at the time?
I don’t know what
Got over me
Yes, I do
Hope you don’t mind
I’ll be off
Momentarily
For me to intrude
In this way
Highly unusual
You might say
As if
Like a shirt worn thin through the years
I’ll lеt you down the moment I tear
I can assurе you
That won’t happen ever
As if
You’re standing
On the edge of a cliff
Unaware your footing might slip
I won’t be there to push you back
Forever
As if
The hum of the heavens above
Murmurs from the afterglow
Will not be mysteries for all tomorrows
As if
I’ll empty out a lake with a spoon
Buy a plot of land on the moon
Where we can hide away
And tend our sorrows
As if
As if
As if
Between The Halo And The Horn
(Magne Furuholmen)
Roses and thorns
Halos and horns
Wild China tree
Washed out to the sea
Wheat, rice, and corn
In the eye of the storm
From we are born
Roses and thorns
We soldier on
Between the halo on the horn
Down in the trenches
A smile as it dawns
On you
Your doomsday defenses
Are utterly senseless
In the bright afterglow
Just get on with the show
How we are torn
Roses and thorns
Memories are born
Between the halo on thе horn
From we are born
Roses and thorns
Wе soldier on
Between the halo on the horn
Roses and thorns
Halos and horns
True North
(Magne Furuholmen)
As the crow flies
In a line from A to B
No more false starts
Just find your way to me
Due north
You just have to believe
We’ll sail to the end of the world
But good sailors always return
So hold on to hope
And pray there will be
Fair wind and following sea
As the tide is turning
And I am far from shore
You’re the night-time beacon
Guiding me to port
Due north
My true
True north
We just have to believe
We’ll sail to the end of the world
But a good sailor always returns
So hold on to hopе
And just pray there will be
Fair winds and following sеas
Windward turns
Are how we learn
How to be free
And through the dark
We will sail by the stars
On fair wind and following sea
True north
Bumblebee
(Paul Waaktaar-Savoy)
The bell tower
Strikes the hour
On another day
But I remember
Just out of nowhere
Young and slender
She appears from somewhere
Corduroy jacket
And leather satchel
Belt with brackets
Pants with denim patches
I clock the minute
With her in it
We were thick as thieves
She’s my protector
Bad vibes rejector
Wise crack injector
Bumblebee inspector
She’s my defender
For as long as I can remember
Fragile and tender
Small bird befriender
She’s my protector
Bad vibes rejector
Wise crack injector
Bumblebee inspector
She’s my defender
For as long as I can remember
Fragile and tender
Small bird befriender
Those times
It just hit me
They’ll forever stay
Here with me
Forest For The Trees
(Paul Waaktaar-Savoy)
I don’t live in a time
Where the truth prevails
Things just seem to happen
On an escalating scale
They play you for a fool
To weaken your resolve
Drowning you in details
To make you miss the whole
Sunbeams and forget-me-nots
Beads of amber, parking lots
From your view you see a lot
What you really see
Forest for the trees
I don’t live in a world
Big on clarity
The way it’s coming at us
So relentlessly
Where does one thing end
And the next one start
And where to begin
To keep it all apart
Sunbeams and forget-me-nots
Keys are in the flowerpot
A rider brings his horse to trot
All is lost on me
Forest for the trees
Sunbeams and forget-me-nots
Awoken by a rifle shot
From your view you see a lot
But never the whole piece
Forest for the trees
We’re running out of movie-plots
Your stomach’s tied into a knot
Crackles as the needle drops
On a somber melody
A heartbreak elegy
Unsurprisingly
Called ‘Forest for the trees’
Bluest Of Blue
(Magne Furuholmen)
What you gonna hold against her now
Would you rather were to sing her praises?
Working from the stern right up to the bow
Learning how to find her secret places
What you gonna say as they shut their eyes?
Yearning to remain in their good graces
Will you smell the sea, will you see the sky?
Painted on their young and hopeful faces
Something to believe
Somewhere to be free
A sanctuary at sea
Blue, blue as the bluest of hues
In the sea as she sails on by
True, true like the truest of true
In her eyes as she waves goodbye
Truest of true
Bluest of blue
How you gonna tell this story now?
It’s getting so much harder to cover bases
Say it like it is or just feed them lies
And cover up the truth with your oily phrases
Something to believe
Somewhere to be free
A sanctuary at sea
Blue, blue as the darkest of hues
In the sea as you watch her cry
True, true like the saddest of truth
In her eyes as she says goodbye
Truest of true
Bluest of blue
Blue, blue as the bluest of hues
In the sea as she sails on by
True, true like the truest of true
In her eyes as she waves goodbye
Truest of true
Bluest of blue
Truest of true
Bluest of blue
Make Me Understand
(Paul Waaktaar-Savoy)
Always a loner
Always alone
Not sure I can make it
I’m expected at home
Or somewhere important
I promised to be
Catch up with you next time
Definitely
Make me understand
Give me a fighting chance
Show me if you can
Words for a wayward man
Can we talk later?
I’ll give you a ring
I’m in the middle
Of nothing
Explain if you will
If it’s no bother
Like what one man
Would do to another
Make me understand
Give me a fighting chance
Show me if you can
Words for a wayward man
Make me undеrstand
Show me the masterplan
Givе me a helping hand
I’m lost in this monster-land
Make me understand
Give me a fighting chance
Show me if you can
Words for a wayward man
Make me understand
Show me the masterplan
Give me a helping hand
I’m lost in this monster-land
Understand
Understand
Make me understand
Understand
Make me understand
You Have What It Takes
(Magne Furuholmen)
Oh, this world
Like a wounded bird
Like a sad song
Rising from the waves
But worlds collide
Just like space and time
Bend us sideways
Oh, but I have faith
Don’t be afraid to fall or fail
Learn to make better mistakes
It’s hard to look beyond the pale
But oh, what a difference it makes
You have what it takes
You have what it takes
Your love is the one thing that’s never in vain
Your heart will discover its way home again
So turn your beautiful face to the rain
And see
All around, things are closing down
As if we’rе leaving
As if it were too latе
Now truth don’t rhyme, yeah
And that could be a sign
Yet we play it safe like always
Oh, but I have faith
Don’t be afraid to fail or fall
Everyone carries a weight
We learn to walk before we crawl
So do this for all our sakes
You have what it takes
You have what it takes
Our love is the one thing that’s never in vain
Bold hearts will find their own way home again
So turn your beautiful face to the rain
With this knowing
You have what it takes
You have what it takes
You have what it takes
Summer Rain
(Magne Furuholmen)
What we didn’t lose with the summer rain
Comes back to haunt us in the autumn again
Open all doors and release the pain
Into the summer rain
What we couldn’t shake from when last we met
Fall from our hands like soft regret
Let’s pick ourselves up to make another bet
And try again
Faces to the sun now, there is nothing left to hide
We can get together if we can see beyond our pride
And come out through the doors on thе other side
In the summеr rain
Now what we cannot solve we can set aside
Despite our differences we’re intertwined
Time will heal and the hurt subside
In the summer rain
Eyes up to the sun now, there’s so little left to hide
We will get together, don’t let circumstance decide
We’ll come out through the doors on the other side
Into the summer rain
Faces to the sun now, there is nothing left to hide
We can get together if we swallow our pride
Put your best foot forward, don’t let circumstance decide
We will find ways to continue this ride
And come out through the doors on the other side
To the summer rain
Oh, the summer rain
Oh My Word
(Paul Waaktaar-Savoy)
Oh my word
How to begin
When it’s more
Than you can take in
Birds are flying
In the sky
Seagulls crying
Above you and I
Oh my word
When you are down
Lift your gaze
Up from the ground
The sun is rising
In the sky
Unsurprising
Yet it catches the eye
Sad days
Belong to the past
Only a fool
Could expect them to last
Fist clenched
Tears in the eyes
Awaiting the moment
When it subsides
Birds are flying
Way up high
Seagulls crying
As am I
Sun is rising
In the sky
Unsurprising
Yet it catches the eye
Hеydays
Belong to the past
Only a fool
Could expеct it to last
Fist clenched
Tears in the eyes
I stand alone
In diminishing light
Oh my word
Oh my word
Oh my word
Oh my word
a-ha Bahia
