about

Norwegian artist Stina Stjern wrote most of her new album when she lived in Brooklyn, New York. The album is called “Days ... more Like Waves”. Musically it is just as right to say that the knitting of Norwegian winter sweaters has inspired the music of Stina Stjern, as it is to say that she has spent all the time knitting those sweaters listening to alternative rock. less

Track Name: Strings
Time to pull the strings
And to recall what you once said
I came a long way
With my heart in my hand

In a warm embrace
Rest my head here for a while
Let my body weight
Harden the floor

Pull the strings

Turn the tide of battle
Time to furl sails
My ship sails in a bottle
I’m riding days like waves

We can tie our strings
Heal the scars and seal the cracks
All your pretty words
Goes straight into my purse

We might settle down
I might get more than I deserve
Place my honesty
Next to my fur

Pull the Strings

Turn the tide of battle
Time to furl sails
My ship sails in a bottle
I’m riding days like waves
Track Name: Tuning
Hold the mirrors up
Hear the noise
Try to fit in

I am offbeat
I am offbeat
Tuning in

Audition for the show

Face deserve the eyes
A bit more lipstick
on my mouth

Gather around me
Gather around me
Like a womb

I should, I shouldn’t go
Like you
They might hire me someday
They might hire me someday

I should, I shouldn’t go
Like you
They might hire me someday
They might hire me someday

Like they once hired you too

A perfect candidate
Suitability
And skills

Yet, I am offbeat
I am offbeat
Tuning in

Audition for the show

Walking hand in hand
Extended glory shines on me
Yet not too bright
What if they can see me bare

I should, I shouldn’t go
Like you
They might hire me someday

They might hire me someday

I should, I shouldn’t go
Like you
They might hire me someday
They might hire me someday

Like they once hired you too
Track Name: Cry
We called it off
I miss you
I guess I am crazy still
I don’t remember happy
The core in life sure is misplaced

So I would say cry
I hope you do
I would say cry
I hope you’ve lost it too

We called it off
I’m shrieking inside
I guess I am childish still
Well I’m walking and I’m talking
With my head held high
These are my best tricks

I would say cry
I hope you do
I would say cry
I hope you’ve lost it too
Track Name: Stars
Yes I’ve been hopeless
And I’ve been blue
Knocked on the heartaches
Someone let me in

Yes I’ve been worried
And I’ve been too pale
These are my teardrops
I spend them all on you

I know
I know

I spend my stars on you
I spend my stars on you

Yes I’ve been hopeless
But I’ll be around
Things seems to work out
In anonymous ways

Too mediocre
But I’m prepared to try
These are my daydreams
I spend them all on you

I know
I know

I spend my stars on you
I spend my stars on you
I spend my stars on you
I spend my stars on you
Track Name: Dance
Soaked up in you
Hoping you would see me
I took a bow
Hoping you would lead me

In time
In time

Lies seeking you
Dream I’m in your daydream
Hopeless and weak
Only clouds can ease me

In time
In time

I would save you the last dance
I would save you the last dance
I would save you the last dance
I would save you

Throw me a bone
We can do it your way
Carved like a stone
To fit into your shape

In time
In time

I would save you the last dance
I would save you the last dance
I would save you the last dance
I would save you
Track Name: Show
Show me your headlights
And I’ll show you mine
Holler your ambitions
And I’ll holler mine

Seductive friend
Within your grasp
I’m a seductive friend
I’m cool and I’m shy
But I can too stand out
Track Name: Cheers
White summer day
Raising my glass
Let’s drink to all what lead us here

White summer day
Resetting time
Let’s drink to your hand in mine

Let’s wake up tomorrow
with a smile
A little bit hung over
And tired

Let’s wake up tomorrow
With a smile
A little bit hung over
And tired
But as husband and wife
Track Name: Songs
Going there
Secrets, lust and shame
Rearranging books on
Things to do, to do

Fogging up my history my wine
Giving it away to someone new
Someone new

Songs I sing out loud
Won’t give you chills
I still waste my time
Waiting for it

Promises broken in the heat
Intoxicated dreams to
Hide away, away

Celebrate ordinary days
Count the sheep or
Reek of bittersweet embrace

Songs I sing out loud
Won’t give you chills
I still waste my time
Waiting for it
Track Name: Door
Trying not to fall back in
I’m dirty footprints outside your front door
I’ve been hiding under lights
Fear and mirrors and having to relate

I’m still looking back
To times
With dirty boots
And you

Bite my lips and shut my eyes
How to enter without blush and shame
Clean and shiny floors before my feet
Running into someone half the way

So I keep looking back
To times
With dirty boots
And you
