lyrics

Solutions seen through your eyes, babe
May seem like trouble through mine
The story I’ve written about myself
I read in between your lines
So I keep asking myself
If I will ever be fit to love
My body is growing weary
Of what my mind is capable of

Your light is burning so bright
Far out in the distance, babe
And I’ve been a fool
Thought I’d do it all for you
I’ve been a fool
Now I am a lonesome stranger

I’m a wandering woman
And you are a dead end man
Still I trace you in your footsteps
Searching for ways to understand
And I keep asking myself
If I will ever be truly free
Can I keep on living
This life you have given to me

Your light is burning so bright
Far out in the distance, babe
And I’ve been a fool
Thought I’d do it all for you
I’ve been a fool
Now I am a lonesome stranger

More than this, more than this
love it will weigh me down
more than this, more than this
love it will weigh me down
Now I am a lonesome stranger

about

Louien Oslo, Norway

Not in her wildest dreams, did Live Miranda Solberg foresee the kind of attention a single demo uploaded to Soundcloud would attract. Shortly after she uploaded “Demo no. 1” one year ago, she found herself playing two of Norway’s biggest festivals, Øya and by:Larm – all of this without one official release. ... more
