These are the lyrics for the 11 songs on the album SONGS THAT DREAM


1. BLUE SKY

We're lying in the sun
On a white sand beach
Wet skin
No longer feeling shy

Blue sky – so high

'Cause we touched
Cause you're here in my arms
For the first time our dreams connect

Blue sky – so high

'Cause we met
Cause I'm here in my arms
For the first time our dreams connect

Will this be the day
that changed the rest of our lives?

Believe in our dream



2. OPEN HAND

A sign so clear – an open hand, no fear
Your chance – my chance is right here

A sunbeam is touching my skin
Caution we throw to the wind

My dream is your dream
Travelling in space to be first
to take in the universe



3. DIDN'T DARE

Could I just – hold you hands
Could I just – show who I am

Invited by your deep brown eyes
An inner glow – you told me: follow

Didn't dare to take the chance

I felt so light and free in the summer night
But then the train began to move again

Didn't dare to take the chance

Could I just – hold you hands
Could I just – show who I am



4. STILL REMEMBER

Seven precious words:
"I Love You – More Than You Know"

Still remember how we touched
It meant so much
Still remember your perfume
Here in my room

Touched you in reality
Sense you in my memory

And I love you – more than you know

Still remember how we danced
Still remember how we touched
...in my fantasy



5. WRITE U 2NITE

Feel so much
Goes deep and yet
I feel his touch
Though we never met

All I want 2 do
is dream with u
All I want 2 hold
is what we leave untold

Break new ground
So much we found
An endless source
Make use of this force

All I want 2 do
is dream with u
All I want to say
is "love you more each day"

Kiss and sigh
Will write u 2nite
In our universe
Our shyness disperses

All I want 2 do
is dream with u
All I want 2 c
is u close 2 me



6. DAWN

Shines on me, shines on you

Rêveur (dreamer)
Le Soleil (the sun)

The star's asleep – so far away
The sun comes up – another day

The dreamy sound of the dawn
The mellow voice of a child
Sound of dawn meets you with a smile
Whispering
Soft and alive

J'entends depuis longtemps (Since long I hear)
the dreamy quietness

Tilo bebola (Good morning to the sun)
Soft and alive
Se mélange en silence rêveur (Mix in a dreamy quietness)

The sun is up – my heart's awake
The dreamy sound of the dawn
The golden beams are blending in
And mix with life of the earth




7. TWILIGHT

Full moon comes up
Our spirits rise
Your eyes shine

Twilight
Unite in music
Unite in dance

Day turns to night
We meet again
My heart flies

Twilight...

One look from you
Somehow I knew
Your eyes shine

Twilight...

(We're gonna dance on the stars tonight)
(We're gonna dance in the sand tonight)



8. DREAMSONG

(Real sound recording from telephone answering machine:)
"Dream. Imagine what you want most..."
(Real sound recording from Brisbane Botanic Garden)
(Real sound recording from Lejre, Denmark – man approches woman with a bouquet of flowers with the intention to propose to her. She says:)
"What have you got there?"
(Real sound recording from Apollo landing on the moon)

Love
In my dreams I imagine
the feeling of love
crystalised into reality

Softly our bodies reach for eternity
I feel you, I feel your warmth, desire and afterglow

Where my heart beats so constantly
Flowing consistently
Brings me to reality
Still part of my fantasy

Feeling of love

Time is a friend
I know we will meet again
A deep sense of trust has come
After all that we have done

And my heart beats so constantly
Flowing consistently
Brings me to reality
Still part of my fantasy



9. FATRAS D'AMOUR

"Personne ne passe á l'aube
sans passer par le chemin de la nuit"
(Nobody comes to the dawn without going through the night)

Tonight we say goodbye
To lush love and summer days
Our destiny's unclear
Again my life's in disarray

Let's pretend, just act cool and fearless
Face the fact; when you leave we both are powerless

Emotional mess, Fatras d'amour (love hotch potch)
There's no way to know when the next drawback will be

Suddenly things fall together
Tour return around the globe
Start again and breathe new hope in us

"Je t'ai laissé une lampe á la fenêtre"
(I have left a light for you at the window)

À cause de tout ce fatras d'amour
(do not leave me because of all that love hotch potch)
Ne pars pas, reculons, et faisons demitour
(Let us back out and return)

Au petit matin j'attendrai
Ton retour sur mon chemin
Si le vent te pousse
Je te verrai demain

(Early in the morning I expect
that you return into my road.
If the wind helps a little
I shall see you again tomorrow)

Suddenly...



10. THIS LOVE

This love I do believe in

I'll watch the horizon,
The daylight fades away
The pale moon rises twice
in the heavy winter sky
You will come to me
as naturally as the changing of the day

The summer turns to wintercold
Days are small and grey
Feelings that once kept me here
Are dreams just gone astray?
In the black of night
I see your smile
in every shining star

This love (I do believe in)
I'll search the sky and cross the sea
This love (I do believe in)
I care for you and this I do:
I believe
This love I do believe in

I lie awake at night
and when I get to sleep
You're watching over me
I look into your eyes
Turn my head aside
Can't hide the fear inside
In the black of night
I see your smile
in every shining star

This love...




11. ANTIPODEAN )i(

(The sign )i( means 'butterfly', or 'Mush')

We're lying
in the sun
On a white sand beach

(Real sound recording from telephone answering machine:)
"I mush you."

Thank you for listening. It's wonderful for me to be able to share them with you.

As you can hear my style of music is not easy to define. It is just what comes out me when I start to sing my own songs.

While I was recording this CD I had one goal with this music: that it would make me feel good. I hope you will hear that, and that the music will also allow you to leave the perpertual stress of everyday life behind, while melodies, rhythms and lyrics lift you up where dreams and relaxing have their space. Allowing your thoughts to go out a tangent...

When I was 20 years old I was singing to be seen. Now I'm singing because it makes me feel good. I love to be in the 'universe' of music, and to share music with others who feel the same. It doesn't matter anylonger whether the rest of the world wants to listen or not. What is important for me is that in this special 'universe' I can express fellings that I can't say in words. I can be in touch with things which have no relation to the material world, or the everyday life. When music is at its best it reminds me of sitting and looking at the dancing reflections of the sun in the surface of the lake in front of our house: you can't touch it, or capture it. You can maybe film it, but it will never be quite the same. Music is like that. Music, nature and dreams are out of the same substance.

To sing and in this way, somehow, make my dreams and hopes "audible" is such a relief. And to make music together with musicians capable of understanding and underlining this my "language of no words" has felt like a true gift. I would love to think as if now each song is my little gift to everyone who listens.

I hope it will allow you too to feel good and also give new space to your most private, intimate and unspoken dreams :-)
