about

This composition, originally titled "Koggen på vannet" changed its underlying meaning so much after we added lyrics to it, that we decided to rename it. Where the original composer (Stian) imagined a picturesque scenery from his home town a spring day in the 1930's, the songs lyricist (Knut) pictured a conversation in retrospect between two lovers at a critical moment in their relationship.

lyrics

In all it’s splender this is what she said
‘Summer agrees with you
but we’re running out of thread.
So consider this our pension from the dramatics. This way we can rid ourselves of tension,
this way we won’t lose our heads.
Maybe we could just
think of it as reasoning with trouble
and remember to forget those moments which apparently we can’t seem
to shake nor stop remembering’
-
And in all its splender this is what I heard
‘You’re running out of options
please don’t make this seem all too absurd’
So to consider this our pension from the dramatics would be like embracing a defeat
while keeping heads we lose our hearts
All the more reason to
Think of it as reasoning with trouble
I won’t remember to forget those moments abandoning our heads and thus gaining us ours hearts
