Walkside
Music by Julia Hülsmann
Featured on the album While I Was Away
On the side where you walk
What am I?
Are the melodies you hear made in our land?
And at times, do you tell our story
as part of your recital?
Did you try to think I was the reassuring root of your blossom
Or just a reverie
Lost in yourself
I was a station that you had to pass
When it feels like I walk by your side
When the melody you hear is from our land
When a face reminds vaguely of me
Don't go for your denial

Felicia's song
Music by Live Maria Roggen
Featured on the albums While I Was Away (2026) and Apokaluptein (2016)
Downhill bus ride, reminds me of Rio
For once they're playing your song on the radio
A quiet, magic place alongside passengers chasing time in Felicia's rain
She's come to say goodbye
You know, he did all he could to keep you
But with a soul so free, what can one do
Her loving arms and their touch, and her sweet breath and smile
Won't brace him now in Felicia's rain
She's come to say goodbye
How would people know about your life there
How could people know about a life in fear
How to keep someone distant when they're so near
How come you never knew that you belong here
Time will stop, rain will keep falling
On that day, in that moment I had a calling
Been calling out since then
Since that day on the downhill bus ride, back when Felicia's rain
Fell down to say goodbye

Moonfish dance
Music by Live Maria Roggen
Featured on the albums While I Was Away (2026) and Apokaluptein (2016)
Little cracks little cracks
Just keep walking little cracks
Everything will turn out for the best
Little cracks just keep walking
Little cracks little cracks
Just keep walking little cracks
What a level of contentedness
Little cracks just keep walking
What a treat what a feast
What colours to be seen
The shimmering on our waters
The moonfish in our stream
Letting the jungle in
Late night and early spring
Long days by the waters with moonfish in our stream
Little cracks little cracks ...
What a treat what a feast
This storm is all I need
Go down to the water
Feel the spray from the sea
It takes a certain skill
What a rush, what a feel
To withstand all this water with moonfish streaming in
What a treat what a feast
Heavenly fire in July
The fast will move, and the slow will die
There's moonfish in our stream
The moving soil
The sliding mud
The water flood
Swallowed by the jungle, wallowed by our hunger
Little cracks little cracks ...

Låvesalg
Music by Helge Lien and Live Maria Roggen
Featured on the album Låvesalg
Låvesalg
Jeg sitter med rester
og minner oppover øra må kvitte meg med alt
På låvesalg
Har ikke rom, får ikke
luft
Altfor mye greier, altfor
liten tid til å leve livet
Må komme meg vekk
herfra
Pakke kofferten og dra
Låvesalg
Hvem vil by på denne
her
Hvem er klar for å
skaffe seg en ny, hakke gått langt
Kanskje littegranne
rust
Men bare der det ikke
syns
Tenk deg godt om, hardu'kke
noe du også savner
Noe som presser seg
fritt fram fra magen
Noe som glitrer i det
blå
Søke eventyret nå
Låvesalg
Tømmer
hele lageret, vasker ut og sletter alle spor
Nye
dager ligger der som blanke ark og perler på en snor
Jeg
skal leve ut drømmen
Og
få et grønnere gress å tråkke på
Låvesalg
Kvitter
meg med alt på låvesalg
Trekker
ut pluggen i dag, klipper strengen
Løser
meg fra mas og jag
Tittar
aldrig bakåt
Ikke
kom for nære nå
Ellers
setter jeg deg på
Låvesalg

Du kan ta krakken
Music by Miles Davis (his 1945-solo on Now's The Time)
Featured on the album Låvesalg
Fire timers søvn og en beskjed
Var alt jeg fikk av deg
Nå sitter jeg ved et bord
Og veit ikke helt om jeg har tenkt å reise meg
En appelsin
Og en yoghurt med melon
Det ville gjøre seg
Faan-ta-sier og eventyr og drømmer er ubrukelig
Når det er så dårlig vær
Jeg vil ha besøk igjen
Men kanskje en mellomting er tingen
Vet du hva?
Jeg har en video med A-ha
Du kan ta krakken

Er jeg den?
Music by Lars Jansson, original title I Am That
Featured on the album YOU
Rundt og rundt
i drømmene
til jeg en dag
må la det fare
At det aldri var
noen hånd som holdt fast
i min og bare
ikke skulle gå sin vei
Er jeg den for deg?
Rundt og rundt
i drømmene
til du en dag
må la meg fare

Demolition Woman
Music by Eirik Hegdal
Featured on the album Pöck
Not a sign of suspicion
In your big, blue eyes
You think your petty way of splittin'
Is gonna work by and by
And by and by and by, yeah?
Oh, I can see by your grinnin'
That you don't know what you'll find
Beware the Demolition Woman
Sneaking up from behind
I guess the thought of her coming back
Never entered your mind
Never entered your mind
Leave your mummy all your money
Leave your best friend your car
Never mind where you were going
You'll never get that far
You'll never get that far
You must have played with ammunition
You must have tried the wrong tack
'Cause now the Demolition Woman
She is right on your track
And she will see to that you're paying
The price for not looking back
