Beautiful Lady 03:58
lyrics
buy track
It’s cold out Crisp snow now Not the woodlands I recall The summer night has gone And memories they fall As time erases all Where have you gone, Beautiful Lady? Where have you gone? Borrowed or taken? Lost or mistaken? Where have you gone? Your eyes bright The words right Wanted this moment forever But just a pocket in time And memories they call When not expected at all My memories are all I safeguard inside my heart.

Snjall jungfrú 03:58
lyrics
buy track
Kald’ úti Nýr snjór nú Ekki skógana ek man Náttin sumars er genginn Ok minningar falla Því at tíð allt eyðir Hvert gekkt þú, fǫgr ok snjall jungfrú? Hvert gekkt þú? Lánaðr eða tekinn? Tapaðr eða rangr Hvert gekkt þú? Augu þitt bjart’ Orðin rétt’ Vilda bragð þetta at eilifu En bara augabragð Ok minningar kalla Þá er ekki væn eru Minningar mín eru allt Er mínu hjarta gæti’k

about

Suddenly, an email appeared in our inbox. It came from a man in UK who’d listened to our songs and got so inspired he wrote us a poem. These rows spoke of an old love story, and he said that if we wanted we could use this poem in one of our songs. In any case, he wanted to share these rows as a thank you as he finally felt that he could express emotions such as grief and love.

Very touched, we wrote the song “Beautiful Lady” and sent the very first draft in reply that same day. Surprised and very happy he replied that this was more than he’d ever hoped for. Music takes time, and so, about four years later this song is finally recorded and ready for you guys.

Curious about how this song would sound in Old Norse, we had it translated. It was super challenging to learn to sing in an ancient language when there's no actual reference to how it should sound.

Here’s the Swedish nature with seasons, lingon berry shrubs and folklore whispering between the rows. Borrowed or taken? ‘Bergtagen’ (gone away fae, or forest-taken) it’s called when someone vanish between the tree trunks to never return.
