Tragedy of Love

I took down a photograph
Of the life we were living
You bought me out of this house
Trusted I would be forgiving

Our feelings made us strong
We almost had it all

Why do we do this too soon?
Why do we let our hearts decide?
Tell me why so soon
Now I’ve seen the tragedy of love

We found love on shady tracks
Way too young to know the difference Caught up in a sacred lie
Found our emotions to be mistakes

Our feelings made us strong
We almost had it all

Why do we do this too soon?
Why do we let our hearts decide?
Tell me why so soon
Now I’ve seen the tragedy of love

We feel
How can it be so unreal?
We fall to rise, seize the grasp in my eyes

Why do we do this too soon?
Why do we let our hearts decide?
Tell me why so soon
Now I’ve seen the tragedy of
Love will do this too soon
Love will let our hearts decide
Tell me why so soon
Now I’ve seen the tragedy of love

This single is recorded live, capturing the authentic energy and sound of both acoustic drums, electric guitar, and vivid vocals.

It's when love blinds you.

Don't Want to Get Stuck Here

Saying goodbye to friends and bonfire nights
sneaking kisses ‘neath a harvest moon
But it’s not so much “farewell,” as “guys, I’ll see you later”
There’s just something that I need to do

Got a fire in my belly to take on the world
So leaving here is going to have to be
But as I shape my future, where ever it leads
I’ll always know how these hills shaped me

I need a new sound and a new direction
Pack my bags up, maybe go to Berlin
This town’s been kind, been a wonderful place to grow up
Just don’t want to get stuck here, like my mama did (like our mamas did)

Why don’t you come see me when I’m all settled in
When I’m street wise and have it all figured out
I admit my palms feel a little sweaty
Not knowing what it’s gonna be about

But I’ve got my guitar and a story to tell
A heart that breaks a little easier than it mends
May be a cliché – country girl going to the big city
But I’ll be living it up there before the summer ends

Something’s gonna have to give
For me to learn how to live

I Need a new sound and a new direction
Pack my bags up, maybe go to Berlin
This town’s been kind, been a wonderful place to grow up
Just don’t want to get stuck here
I need a new sound and a new direction
Pack my bags up, maybe go to Berlin
This town’s been kind, been a wonderful place to grow up
Just don’t want to get stuck here
Just don’t want to get stuck here
Just don’t want to get stuck here, like my mama did

“I need a new sound and a new direction...”

Have you ever experienced the fear of standing still? Fearing that you wouldn’t be able to catch all of the beautiful opportunities life has to offer? I have. This song is about breaking boundaries and facing the unknown. In the small country of Denmark, you easily get caught up in the alluring safeness.

Will It Ever Be?

I took down a photograph
Of the life we were living
You bought me out of this house
Trusted I would be forgiving

Our feelings made us strong
We almost had it all

Why do we do this too soon?
Why do we let our hearts decide?
Tell me why so soon
Now I’ve seen the tragedy of love

We found love on shady tracks
Way too young to know the difference Caught up in a sacred lie
Found our emotions to be mistakes

Our feelings made us strong
We almost had it all

Why do we do this too soon?
Why do we let our hearts decide?
Tell me why so soon
Now I’ve seen the tragedy of love

We feel
How can it be so unreal?
We fall to rise, seize the grasp in my eyes

Why do we do this too soon?
Why do we let our hearts decide?
Tell me why so soon
Now I’ve seen the tragedy of
Love will do this too soon
Love will let our hearts decide
Tell me why so soon
Now I’ve seen the tragedy of love

At times we’re all groping in the dark. Halfway through my twenties explorative journey, a house, garden, kids, and station car started popping up across the board. Was I falling behind? Could everybody else be premature in their decisions?

Questions in need of answers...

My Last Farewell

Going up this hill there’s a long way back
I really hope that this is my track
Leaving here, got a few things to fear

But I chose to quit that old thick haze
Could it be written in my faith
Leaving here, the future is near

This will be my last farewell
My last farewell

I’m prepared to meet all that might come
It’s a part of life when moving on
Now I’m here, with you my dear

And I know that I can be that one
Climbing all the way to get it done
Now I’m here, I see it all clear

This will be my last farewell
My last farewell

To you…
I always, always knew

I’m so sure that I’ve done this right
Never will I be left outside
I’ll stay here, for so many years

This will be my last farewell
My last farewell

I have more than once had a moving box in my hands - and that feeling of rootlessness has given me a greater understanding of ‘home’ and where ‘home’ is. It is not about the four walls in a house.

‘Home’ is determined by yourself and how you choose to fill out the space emotionally. This song has a lot of hope in it.

I deeply hope this dream, where it all falls into place, is not just a hopeless Hollywood fantasy but something, I can accomplish.

Let Them Come

You’ve got yours and I’ve got mine
Different futures different lives
We will go, go

Nothing starts where nothing ends
Drop your life to spare your friends
When you leave, leave

We will
Raise the flag to show we’re here
Clear the way and be prepared
Let them come
Cause we got lots of space
and love for those
Who fell along the deep dark roads
Let them come, to the sound of the drum

Be a man and throw yourself
For your country, pray it helps
When you fall, fall

Say you’ve concurred say you’ve won
Will you recognize your son
When you come, come home

We will
Raise the flag to show we’re here
Clear the way and be prepared
Let them come
Cause we got lots of space
and love for those
Who fell along the deep dark roads
Let them come, to the sound of the drum

Someone has to go
Fight for tomorrow
Hero or a fool
I just wish it wasn’t you

We will
Raise the flag to show we’re here
Clear the way and be prepared
Let them come
Cause we got lots of space
and love for those
Who fell along the deep dark roads
Let them come, to the sound of the drum

Life is in your hands but have you ever questioned your path?

All over the world, I see strong women. Women who are ready to fight. I think it's beautiful – a terrifying beauty.

Sweet Sunday

Sweet Sunday, where have you been?
It’s been way too long
Since I’ve been doing nothing

Sweet Sunday, bring me my peace
I’ve been all stressed out
Found myself on my knees

I need to stop this ride, show me how

Little sweet weekday
Help me find my way
I’ve lost my track, keep going back
With no future to trace
Little sweet weekday
Help me find my way
This tiny task is all I ask
Can you guide me through today?

Sweet Monday, keep coming back
Pushing all my limits
Turning skies into black

Sweet Monday, give me a break
Won't you come tomorrow
So I can manage myself

I need to stop this ride, show me how

Little sweet weekday
Help me find my way
I’ve lost my track, keep going back
With no future to trace
Little sweet weekday
Help me find my way
This tiny task is all I ask
Can you guide me through today?

Sweet Sunday, sweet Sunday
Won't you come back again, get me off this plane Sweet Sunday, sweet Sunday
This never-ending lane, is driving me insane

In a fast-paced existence, sometimes all you want to do is sit back and enjoy nothingness.

Beautiful emptiness is captured in this song.

Sing

Every word I heard was true
The radio reminded me of you
Singing me a love song with a voice so sweet I’m not alone
Now and then they bring bad news
Then someone will wash away my blues
Singing me a love song with a voice so sweet I’m not alone

When we sing
Sing, sing, sing
Hearts give in to everything
Love will sing
Sing, sing, sing
Dreams begin when we sing

Words can be a helping hand
But sometimes you do not understand
Come sing me a love song with a voice that sweet
Then I’ll get home

When we sing
Sing, sing, sing
Hearts give in to everything
Love will sing
Sing, sing, sing
Dreams begin when we sing

Won’t give you up now
Won’t try to fight feelings in my heart
Won’t try to fight now
Won’t try to hide memories of love
So let them sing of you
Tonight, I pray
When the echo of love cries your name
The song won’t have no meaning, if it ain’t ‘bout you
So here beneath the stars I pray

When we sing
Sing, sing, sing
Hearts give in to everything
Love will sing
Sing, sing, sing
Dreams begin when we sing

This song is meant to evoke the sense of unity we find in love.

Another Rose

If I am a rose
Beautiful and free
Then you got to let me grow
Don’t cut me down for keeps

Do you remember sunny days in the
past? Swaying with the daisies in the
newly cut grass? I grew on you and
turned out to be something at last
So please remember

Stay here with me, just for the night
Tomorrow I’ll be ready
Let me be free out in the light
And you won’t have to find yourself
another rose

Don’t dig me a hole
The sun can’t find me
Boy you got to let me grow
So beautiful and free

Do you remember sunny days in the
past? Swaying with the daisies in the
newly cut grass? I grew and grew and
turned out to be something so fast
So please remember

Stay here with me, just for the night
Tomorrow I’ll be ready
Stay here with me, just for the night
Tomorrow I’ll be ready.
Let me be free out in the light
And you won’t have to find yourself
another rose

We used to be a perfect summer
But now we’re only clouds of thunder
Don’t keep me down I’m going under now
Don’t keep me down

Stay here with me, just for the night
Tomorrow I’ll be ready
Let me be free out in the light
And you won’t have to find yourself
another - find another rose

Do we have the freedom to just be who we are?

The process of being in a relationship forces you to consider many aspects of love, and maybe you haven't made the right choice yet.

The Frozen Lake

I went down to the lake today
To see the snowflakes, make their way down
To a common ground

It carried all of my thoughts away
Into the icing cold of the fairway
Going round and round

Quietly beauty to embrace
The old crumbled tree is giving everything for free
So quietly beauty to embrace
It’s all around if you search to find

Everything was standing still
Birds who try to comfort me in this cold
Want me to let go

Giving in to a higher ground
Show me signs so I won’t waste more time
I am alive

Quietly beauty to embrace
The old crumbled tree is giving everything for free
So quietly beauty to embrace
It’s all around if you search to find

Let me show you
How to control this crazy world
Let me teach you
How to invest in peace and calm
Let me take you
To this amazing country field
I don’t want you to lose your faith

Quietly beauty to embrace
The old crumbled tree is giving everything for free
So quietly beauty to embrace
It’s all around if you search to find

While the world is full of beauty, we often miss out on it as we rush from one place to another.

I stopped, waited, and opened up my eyes.

Nightmares

Sitting on a light blue sky
Watching all the peeps saying goodbye
Sure that I won’t be one
To catch and run

I am watching all day long
Everybody is singing my song
They have hope but no one
To be their one

It’s all the nightmares that I have had
They seem to get in the way they seem to lead the way
To all my answers though I’ll never get
How love can disappear when it’s not really there

I’m not drunk but realistic
And I won’t let this clock control my ticks
Even if it could be
I would not see

It’s all the nightmares that I have had
They seem to get in the way they seem to lead the way
To all my answers though I’ll never get
How love can disappear when it’s not really there

No cause it never really was there

I released my very first EP in 2017 and it's only available on soundcloud.

Impulses

Will I ever find the love of my life?
I don’t get the point about being a wife
Personally I think it’s better to find yourself
Before trying to fill others' needs

If you get up and take a step
One breath no need to stress
I’m sure the way will just make itself

What is it about us and thinking?
It’s like we waste our time trying to find the thing
That can make sure you will succeed no matter what
But how many see what they miss

They just get up and take the steps
No breath cause they’re too stressed
I’m sure the way will just make itself

So when you see trees growing wild
that’s when you should remember their time
Their past, the years without wondering why they rise the way they doJust take day after day after day after day based on impulses
You’ll find your way

We’re all human literally all the same
How is it possible to get out of that frame?
By taking charge, varying from the norm, take what’s coming
Trust you can be the latest craze

If you get up and take a step
One breath no need to stress
I’m sure the way will just make itself

So when you see trees growing wild
that’s when you should remember their time
Their past, the years without wondering why they rise the way they do
Just take day after day after day after day based on impulses

You’ll find your way when you see trees
remembering how happiness seems to be the key, stick to your dreams

Remember their past, the years without wondering why
they rise the way they do
Just take day after day after day after day
Based on impulses you’ll find your way

What It Used To Be

I’m not trying to find an excuse
I’m just trying to control my abuse
Cause I can’t figure out whether it makes me stronger or tears me down
I don’t hear a sound

I can feel the beating of my heart
It’s because I know we’re apart
Every breath I take without you I’m afraid that I will forget
Maybe I need a little help

Please, won’t you help me find a way
To get through all this mess I’m living in
Can’t you see, what I’m dealing with right now
What’s circling around
I just want to make this life feel right
To make this life feel right

So what I’m saying is that I’ve tried
I actually found the sun and the light
And I did try to make a way with the light but the sun went down
Mentally I ran out of time

While standing in the dark
I can only try to keep my head high
Cause I’m used to many solutions and I’m used to getting conclusions
I’m used to getting them fast
Cause I don’t want to live like in the past

Please, won’t you help me find a way
To get through all this mess I’m living in
Can’t you see, what I’m dealing with right now
What’s circling around
I just want to make this life feel right
To make this life feel right

I’m trying to find a way without you every day
It’s not easy it’s not easy to find that way
But I’m trying yes I’m trying hard

Just Not Good Enough

It’s early in the morning I’m still wide awake
I’m lying in my closet watching what you’ve made
Pictures keep coming back, I don’t know where you’re at
No, I don’t know where you’re at

Cause you left me here crying I only watched your back
Reconsidering isn't lying we just lost track
I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what I want

Cause I just wasn’t good enough for you
And you just wasn’t good enough for me
Suddenly you see - won’t you open up my eyes for me
Now you see, now you see
Won’t you open up my eyes for me

I guess I was too happy to see what this was
Everything was a mess but I believed in happiness
You did not try to fight you did not try to make it right
Now I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what I want

Cause I just wasn’t good enough for you
And you just wasn’t good enough for me
Suddenly you see - won’t you open up my eyes for me
Now you see, now you see
Won’t you open up my eyes for me

You would take my hand
Show me what you call the right way
Now it’s gone and I don’t
Want anybody else to stay

Cause I just wasn’t good enough for you
And you just wasn’t good enough for me
Suddenly you see - won’t you open up my eyes for me
Now you see, now you see
Won’t you open up my eyes for me

It’s early in the morning I’m still wide awake
Nothing here is warming, cause no one took your place

Moments in Silence

Every moment in silence is trying to bring me down
But I know now that I can’t keep this, it’s too noisy and about
To break me - to shake me, I don’t even want to try
Cause I’ve felt this before so this is my goodbye

Sometimes I try too hard with obvious things that won't last
My feelings are running free, telling me it won't be a blast
I won't listen - I might be twisting, words to my own defense
I feel careful every time still, something must be wrong

If you don’t wanna love me then don’t
If you don’t wanna hold me just go
If you feel like I’m pushing you down
I know just what that’s like

If you don’t wanna feel me then don’t
If you don’t want me closer just go
If you feel like I’m tearing you down
I know just what that’s like

I should probably learn from all the mistakes I’ve made
But patience isn’t my invention I wish that I could just fade
Into something – just somewhere, my thoughts are killing me now
They’ll be there tomorrow and time will take me somehow

If you don’t wanna love me then don’t
If you don’t wanna hold me just go
If you feel like I’m pushing you down
I know just what that’s like

If you don’t wanna feel me then don’t
If you don’t want me closer just go
If you feel like I’m tearing you down
I know just what that’s like

A Journey

Someone told me life isn’t gonna be easy
Then I told her about my road
She said darling don’t let it show

I was praying to God, today wouldn’t tear me apart
Though the rain was pouring down
I kept listening to the sound
Of the voice inside my heart singing

I’m here ’till the end and I pray to God that’s not today
I’m keeping up to make you strong
Please say your journey here will last long

I expected nothing like this I thought that we were okay
Though the words never explained it
I felt all of your pain

I remember saying to myself "Mama please wake up"
Take her out of this hell, but please don’t make it stop

I’m here ’till the end and I pray to God that’s not today
I’m keeping up to make you strong
Please say your journey here will last long

This world is not a place without you, I wouldn’t know how to move on
I just pray, I just pray, I just pray
That someday, we will be okay

Taking Care

It’s hard for me to explain what I feel when you call my name
Cause I know you want to play some stupid game
And if I told you, you wouldn’t understand
Cause you’re not really that man
You want everyone to think you are

Should I laugh, or should I cry?
Tell me now, please don’t lie
The man you’re supposed to be
You hide him, no one can see
You’re taking care of me

I need to think of myself and I don’t really need your help
Think I’m better without you, can you see it too?
It isn’t my job to take care of this house
I’m ready to sacrifice everything
I want you out of my life

Should I laugh, or should I cry?
Tell me now, please don’t lie
The man you’re supposed to be
You hide him, no one can see
You’re taking care of me

It’s not that I don’t care, I just can’t go anywhere
Without having you there
You’re my dad if I should love you ‘till I die
Please tell me why

Cause I don’t know
Should I laugh, or should I cry?
Tell me now, please don’t lie
The man you’re supposed to be
You hide him, no one can see
You’re taking care of me
