03. Gabriel Ananda & Alice Rose - Fields Of Dreams (Pitto Remix)

When I first left my native Copenhagen, I took the night train to Berlin and arrived at 6am. A cold, dark January day. When I entered the S-bahn, I saw rows and rows of ladies with the same kind of hair and earrings and thought, “we don’t have these kinds of women in Denmark”. It was a small culture shock. This song is about growing up.    

21 - lyrics
                   
I’m 21 - getting on the train - shining like the sun in the rain
I’m 21 - with a pack on my bag - stepping into the unknown
I’m 21 - all insecure and pale - my lines are thin and frail
I’m 21 - with the tiger’s courage - got my mother’s worries

And I don’t wanna grow up - but I know I don’t have much choice
And I crave to be free - and I wanna dare to be me
Dadadadadum...

I’m 21 - running away from home - wanna be on my own
I’m 21 - with the urge to prove - failing hard at being smooth
I’m 21 - flying the magic carpet - not sure that I like it
I’m 21 - sailing the 7 seas - oh my heart is not at ease

And I don’t wanna grow up - but I know I don’t have much choice
And I crave to be free - and I wanna dare to be me

I’m 21 - in the field of tomorrow - with feelings I borrow
I’m 21 - with the adventurous bones - I’m rolling with the stones
I’m 21 - in the turkish market - on the flying carpet
I’m 21 - and I’m not standing still - I’ve got my own will

And I don’t wanna grow up - but I know I don’t have much choice
And I crave to be free - and I wanna dare to be me
Dadadadadum...

I’m 21 - with scorpio rising - ever surprising

About the song: 
This is a song  about connection. It’s about daring to share your life with others. Opening up, taking chances. Throwing away those deceiving social masks. It’s about being yourself and embracing genuine human connections.
    
9.Lonely Wolf          
Lonely wolf what are you looking for - lonely wolf what do you want more
Lonely wolf where do you go? - when you wanna be on your own
Lonely wolf what have you done - whom or what are you hiding from
Lonely wolf I’m just here to ask - ’cause I’ve noticed you’re wearing a mask

Aaaa Oooh

Lonely wolf do you have a pack? - lonely wolf are you going to go back
’Cause I’m intrigued by your darkness and your sweet - lonely wolf I suggest that we meet
Lonely wolf singing in the night - lonely wolf with eyes shining bright
Lonely wolf I wanna know your mysteries and pain - but you don’t have to tell me it’s OK

Aaaa Oooh

Lonely Wolf I’ve got a dark soul too - lonely wolf I’ve locked myself in a room
With a shoebox of dreams and a bottle of truth - lonely wolf while hiding from the moon
Lonely wolf the past is a whore - lonely wolf he keeps begging for more
For the first time ever I need to take care of myself - lonely wolf I don’t need your help

Aaaa Oooh

I know that it gets cold in the night - maybe you need a friend to hold you tight
I know a place where dreams come alive - where lovers lay and sleeping logic lies
Step with me out into the moonlight - come with me to where wolves cannot hide

Lonely wolf we could hang out - my inner lonely wolf would like that very much
Lonely wolf just know that you’re free to go - anytime anywhere on your own
Lonely wolf you’re not alone - the time to connect has come
Lonely wolf don’t guard yourself with solitude - you don’t have to sing that lonely tune

Aaaa Oooh

3.Song Of A Million Things

This is the first song I wrote for the album. I woke up one morning and it came out in one piece. It set the precedent for the autoharp sound, the instrument on which all these songs were written. It’s dealing with feeling stuck in the past. Being sentimental. Taking an honest look at what we as humans do. A song about being grateful for life and for what we have.

SONG OF A MILLION THINGS - lyrics
I’m addicted to the past - never here - never asked
Who I was and where to go - I just stuck to the road
I miss the people who have gone - I miss the ones who’re hanging on
I miss myself most of the time - I miss you more when you’re not mine

Oh my heart is filled with longing after someone who’s never coming
I wish to talk to you sometimes - but it’s only in my mind - it’s only in my mind, dam dam dam dam

I’m a liar and a lover - I hide the one behind the other
While life rolls along and sings - it’s own song of a million things
I miss the people that I’ve known - the ones I’ve hurt - the ones who’ve flown
Oh I’m so sorry for my mess! I’ll clean it up - I’ll do my best!

Oh my heart is filled with longing after someone who’s never coming
I wish to talk to you sometimes - but it’s only in my mind - it’s only in my mind, dam dam dam dam

I’m a father and a mother - I’ve got life - they’ve got each other
And when things fall apart - I’m a parent to the heart
I’ve got love in this song and perhaps you wanna sing along
Oh I’m so grateful for this moment - and now I’m grateful that it’s over

Oh my heart is filled with longing after someone who’s never coming
I wish to talk to you sometimes - but it’s only in my mind - it’s only in my mind, dam dam dam dam

03. Song of a Million Things

About the song: 
Many times in my life I have thought about what love is, and if I am able to love someone truly, for who they are. With all their imperfections. Love starts with ourselves, and accepting who we are. A reflection upon, if I am actually able to really, truly love someone else, and myself...

If I could love - Lyrics

If I could love - I’d love you till death - look into your eyes - drown in their abyss
If I could love - you’d be the one - I would admire - you’d be my sun
If I could love - you’d be my ocean - moon rising surely - ever in motion
If I could love - we’d melt together - like a living poem - forever and ever

If I could love - I’d rise from the dark - let go of my shadows and re-enter the heart
Leave solitude behind - say no goodbyes - then I could love and we’d fly together
Under the blue skies - light as a feather
If I could love - I’d hold you tight - fall into your arms - cry like a child
If I could love - you’d be the one - I’d tell all my secrets to - before I’m gone
If I could love - my life would flourish - the intrinsic poison - could no longer be nourished
If I could love - life would be real and all my scratches could slowly heal

If I could love - move close in the low lights - we’d hold hands and maybe share a dance
Should we be - bound and free - I could break away and steal a kiss
From a cherry blossom tree place it on your lips

If I could love - my heart would be open - even when it’s painful it wouldn’t close down
If I could love - the ugly and the pretty - I’d be ready for life as it is
lf i could love life as it is - lf i could love life as it is...

07. If I Could Love

About This song is inspired by my grandparents. I have never met them. They were both victims of war. It’s a reflection on myself and where I am from. Who came before me? What were their lives like? It’s a reflection on human needs. A way for me to try and understand life.

DIVINE - Lyrics

I am a knight - polishing my armour - carrying my sword - fighting my own karma
I am warrior - making my own glory - free to reign - writing my own story
Even with the thunder - in my heart and mind - on a cloudy day i can feel the sunlight
There’s a desert landscape on my skin - I’m cracked and burned from within.


I am sacred - I am divine - brave and bold - blood of old

The lack of rain - in my life caused a drought - the lack of love - caused the death of the heart
Black blossoms from the breath - I inhale the bitterness - I sit with the pain and exhale again
I go through the fire - my own personal hell - I look at the monsters - oh babe can you tell
I go to the grave with just a dollar in my pocket - with a heart full of grace - atleast i know I’ve got it.

I am sacred - I am divine - brave and bold - blood of old

A man without a country - a traitor to my blood - trying to clean the past away - with a dirty toothbrush
I lost my faith - long before there was a war - this was moving through me - as I scrubbed the floor
I was a coward - now I’m not - I was a traitor - I learned a lot
This is the end - of a life as I knew it - what’s yet to come - don’t know if I blew it.

I am sacred - I am divine - brave and bold - blood of old
I am sacred - I am divine - brave and bold - blood of old

11. Divine

About the song: 
This song is just about living your life. No matter what is going on around us, this is all we can do. Connect with our intuition, our core, music, the essence of life.

Live Your Life - lyrics
I play the chords on my harp - fall in tune with the heart
I sense that the end is near - lurking here in the dark
I’m sitting on the ground - I can feel the ancient sounds
Lives that have passed and gone - I connect with the hum

A voice that enthralls you - a voice that calls you - the music ancient magically alive
Saying what no words can describe: Just live your life - live your life.

I met my edge - where nothing is fixed - the data ever changing - reality facing
The darkness in me - that will never go away - I sit with the pain - and embrace it again
Some say that home - is where the heart blooms - and my heart’s right here with you in this room
In this moment I’m done - tomorrow I might be gone - and I ask myself again - what will happen then?

A voice that enthralls you - a voice that calls you - the music ancient magically alive
Saying what no words can describe: Just live your life - live your life.

Live Your Life - (+hidden track Back Home)

A TOKEN OF LOVE

I noticed at one point that I was texting more and more with a friend, as opposed to actually meeting up. We increasingly text, instead of talk. I noticed all the misunderstandings that occured. This is a song about communication. About connecting, meeting, sharing. In real life.
                   
LYRICS:
Baby please - don’t get me wrong - I didn’t mean to write something hurtful or strong
I much prefer to talk or touch - to this high abstract plane - we communicate on
We’re just getting to know each other a bit - and it’s not so easy to guess what’s ahead
And who is sitting across from you - where is he from - what does he do

So give me a squeeze a smile and a hug - let me melt to the touch
’Cause when we meet - nothing is spoken - yet all we need to know is said and it’s a token
A token of love, a token of love a token of love, oohhooo

It’s not so easy for me to see - do we get along or do we disagree
And I can’t recognize yet how you feel - there’s a joker in the mix - a poker face that I can’t read
People that we like and people that we love - when the going gets tough - the tone can get rough
And I am raw with an open heart - I am strong yet sometimes I fall apart

So give me a squeeze a smile and a hug - let me melt to the touch
’Cause when we meet - nothing is spoken - yet all we need to know is said and it’s a token
A token of love, a token of love a token of love, oohhooo

04. A Token Of Love - MST

2.Heart High

I remember being in love as a child. I would see someone and fall in love. It was always just there, in the distance. I never “made a move” or tried to get them to like me. I just loved from a far and enjoyed it. This song is about being in that love, cherishing it. Appreciating the other person and just being, love.  That feeling we create inside ourselves.


LYRICS:

I’m in love with you - and I haven’t even kissed you - I’m in love with you - and I haven’t ever missed you
I’m in love with you - we’ve only spoken a few words - I’m in love with you - and you don’t even know

And I don’t have to have you - no no no - this love is all mine - I’d be ready to share with you
But there’s no pressure from my side - ’cause love just is and love transcends and either way I’m fine
I don’t have to have you, babe - you’re already mine

I’m in love with you - days come and go - I’m in love with you - just going with the flow
I’m in love with you - my heart is singing from the dark - I’m in love with you - even if it’s just for the arts -
thank you heart!

And I don’t have to have you - no no no - this love is all mine - I’d be ready to share with you
But there’s no pressure from my side - ’cause love just is and love transcends and either way I’m fine
I don’t have to have you, babe - you’re already mine

I’m in love with you - and I haven’t told a soul - I’m in love with you - if I do it’ might grow cold
I’m in love with you - I’m also in it for the thrill - I’m in love with you - babe maybe you can tell
I’m in love with you - for good times and for worse - I’m in love with you - for sickness and in health
I’m in love with you - and I will love others too - I’m in love with you - and there’s nothing you have to do

And I don’t have to have you - no no no - this love is all mine - I’d be ready to share with you
But there’s no pressure from my side - ’cause love just is and love transcends and either way I’m fine
I don’t have to have you, babe - you’re already mine
Inside my heart - my love will never die, oh! Thank you heart for making me high!

02. Heart High

This song is about the disintegrated ego. Parts of us that we don’t like to see. About being hard on ourselves, but also realizing our power to heal our own pain. It’s long and epic, like the ancient songs our ancestors sang.

LADY IN BLACK - lyrics
I’m the lady in black - the destroyer of worlds - I’m the lady in black - want to be someone else
I’m the lady in black - broke my own back again - I’m the lady in black - with the porcelain skin
I’m the lady in black - cannot turn the page - I’m the lady in black - ooh - afraid I lose my way
I’m the lady in black - the words are my corset - I’m the lady in black – I pretend that I am all set

And then you come along and you show me what is wrong - I broke my own heart again by being who I am

I’m the lady in black - not sure what to do -I’m the lady in black - I’m just like you
I’m the lady in black - my blood is alive - I’m the lady in black - with the wisdom eyes
I’m the lady in black – I'm scared to let go - I’m the lady in black – ooh – I fear to grow old
I’m the lady in black - In the moment of squeeze - I’m the lady in black - I just want peace

I’m made of longing in a league of my own - I know that someone’s coming yet I feel so alone
I’m running away to the edge of the abyss - I’m too afraid to stay there’s so much i miss

I’m the lady in black - I cling to the past - I’m the lady in black - know that nothing lasts
I’m the lady in black - with the educated mind - I’m the lady in black - just want to feel fine
I’m the lady in black - with the brightness of life - I’m the lady in black – ooh - holding the knife
I’m the lady in black - just want to be free - I’m the lady in black - just want to be happy

And then you come around and show me how to be found - I healed my own heart again by being who I am

I’m the lady in black - building castles of dreams - I’m the lady in black - bursting at the seams
I’m the lady in black – I'm climbing that mountain - I’m the lady in black - I'm the dot in the horizon
I’m the lady in black - I open up to you - I’m the lady in black – ooh - I tell you of my truth
I’m the lady in black - I lean on you - I’m the lady in black – then I fall right through

And then you come around and show me how to be found - I healed my own heart again by being who I am

I’m the lady in black - I sail in my boat - I’m the lady in black - I’ve got nowhere to go
I’m the lady in black - with all the anger - I’m the lady in black - I lower my anchor
I’m the lady in black - with the power of rage - I’m the lady in black - coming of age
I’m the lady in black - walking in the meadows - I’m the lady in black - stepping out of the shadows

10. Lady In Black

I went to a Vegan supermarket and picked up a random magazine about the Berlin fashion week. It had all these interviews with fashion people telling why they chose to move to Berlin, with all their dreams and goals, they see this city as place to make them real.. It was so beautiful and to read!

Berlin is a magnificent metropole with many facets. People from all over the world come here to live out their creative dreams, it’s what makes this city a fantastic and inspiring place to be. But it’s also competitive and stressful. We love it, sometimes we hate it. Opposites meet and enrich each other. This song is an ode to Berlin, a celebration of art, creativity and freedom. We want freedom, we crave connection.

Berlin Is For Dreamers - LYRICS:
Ever since all the while spinning wheels unrecognized - an incomparable sense of the undenied and intense
With a handful of dreams in the back of my trunk - the undeniably sexy - shines like the sun
The places we explore suddenly appearing doors - where there used to be walls - we now show it all
You can come as you are - you can shine like a star - if you’re ready and dare - it’s all for the taking right here

Berlin is for dreamers - believers in change - even when we don’t know how to - we just experiment
Utopia is here where the magic happens - like a child scientist naive and maddening
Berlin is for dreamers - trusting in life - that in the midst of the chaos - we will survive

Want a home to be close - intimacy overall and we crave to be free - oh you can’t count on me
So change your mind and go deep - risk it all for work and love - just decide to be free
And honour your needs - stand on the bridge industrial beauty - far beyond brutal and guilty
Into the grey the sun sinks - 7 months till it returns - so wanderlust open your heart
You can teach it how to trust - and give strength to embrace once again this crazy place

Berlin is for dreamers - believers in change - even when we don’t know how to - we just experiment
Utopia is here where the magic happens - like a child scientist naive and maddening
Berlin is for dreamers - trusting in life that in the midst of the chaos - love will survive
Love will survive - oohoo oohoo - love will survive - oho - love will survive!

06. Berlin Is For Dreamers - Single

It rained in Berlin last summer, for days. a monsoon like rainstorm. The streets of Berlin were flooded. People literally swimming in the streets. This title had been in my head for a while. What to do when things fall apart? Personally, globally, emotionally. A melancholy, reflective mood. Personal to the universal. The small to the big. Courageously throwing yourself into the unknown, despite the fear. 

It’s been 24 hours since it started to rain - I’m in my room just listening since it came
Been stilling my thirst - enjoying the sound - when the raindrops burst I feel the ground
Been dreaming out loud - stars on the ceiling - my thoughts in music - brushstrokes of feeling

What to do in the rain - I could stay in my cave
Or I could throw myself in the river - join the rest of you who’re out there

A universe in my kitchen - rolling streams of heaven’s tears indecipherable as dreams
The water of life - cleaning the streets - oh who am I - will you hear my cry
I wake myself from dreaming - half expecting - Noah’s arc to pick me up
But that’s never gonna happen - ’cause there’s no place - that’s dry and safe if you wanna escape

What to do in the rain - I could stay in my cave
Or I could throw myself in the river - join the rest of you who’re out there

We are all drowning in our lives of things - things
More and more we’re losing sight - of what is real and what is right
I storm down the stairs - relentless and charged - full of fear but I don’t care
I’m ready to go - full power - catapult myself out of my tower

’Cause I’m ready to own it - what is to come - the intuition is never wrong
This is the life - I learn to live it slower - a shift of planes - ooh it’s never over
I meet myself - love and light - the part of me that never dies
Darling please - hand me my crown - I am jumping - I’m ready to drown

What to do in the rain - I could stay in my cave
Or I could throw myself in the river - join the rest of you who’re out there

There’s really nothing to it - just do it - you can learn to swim right through it
Over and over - reborn each moment - I forget my name and get back in the rain

01. What To Do In The Rain

About the song:
I started writing this song while travelling in India. I met a psychoanalyst who told me: “Alice, Life is a walk”. This sentence stuck in my head, and I started writing about that walk. So many questions. Trying to fathom, what is this life actually? It’s also a kind of mantra that I use sometimes, when I feel that the world is too crazy. I come back to the breath. Remind myself that I am alive. And grateful for this gift.

Calm Charm - Lyrics

Life is a walk on the knife’s edge - life is a walk who knows what’s next
Life is a walk on a summer’s day - life is a walk sometimes it’s a break
Life is a walk with a sense of release - life is a walk into the deep mysteries
Life is a walk on the ocean side - life is a walk in the blackest night

Breathe deep - heartbeat - in out - calm charm - slow ease - smile release
Present moment we are alive - present moment we are alright

Life is a walk like a crazy drug - life is a walk just staying with the rush
Life is a walk all simple and calm - life is a walk sometimes we carry arms
Life is a walk with nowhere to go - life is a walk for the young and the old
Life is a walk sometime we take the bike - sometimes we rest our tired smiles

Breathe deep - heartbeat - in out - calm charm - slow ease - smile release
Present moment we are alive - present moment we are alright

Life is a walk at times it’s a storm - life is a walk with a scent of cinnamon
Life is a walk with the loss of innocence - life is a walk with remembrance
Life is a walk sometimes it’s right when it’s wrong - life is a walk seems there’s too much going on
Life is a walk with friends right and left - life is a walk with no family left

Breathe deep - heartbeat - in out - calm charm - slow ease - smile release
Present moment we are alive - present moment we are alright
Breathe Deep - heartbeat - in out - calm charm - slow ease - smile release
Present moment we are alive - present moment we are alright

What this song is about:
This Is It! The Brazilian Guru Prem Baba would say, scanning the packed room with his warm gaze, we were sitting in the meditation hall in Rishikesh, Northern India, listening to his wisdom. He would talk about Deep, complex questions of love, relating, family, trauma, and people from all walks of life would travel each year to come together in Rishikesh for a few weeks, to listen to him, be a sangha, sing together, do yoga, meditate, live and laugh together.
Those words of wisdom, of suffering, of human life, they took a lot to comprehend. With “THIS IS IT“, he reminded us that we were right there, in that moment. That this is life. That everything is happening in the present moment, always.
I composed the song with all the polarites I could think of, and made a fun little clapping choir with friends. We recorded the song in Copenhagen in my dad's study, and the choir in Berlin in various studios.

LYRICS
This Is It!


And 1, 2, 3 - now I see - and 4, 5, 6 - Oh this is it!
And 7, 8, 9 -Oh I’m so fine! and Then there’s 10 - Oh this never ends
This never ends…
1.
Light as a feather - Heavy as a stone - High as in above - Deep as in below
Here as in presence - Not as in absence - I’m the answer and the question
The ancestor and the descendant
I’m the student and the teacher - I’m the rebel and the pleaser
I’m the on and the off – the soft and the rough
I’m the push and the pull - The empty and the full
I’m the quiet and the loud - I’m humble and I'm proud
chorus:
And 1, 2, 3 - now I see - and 4, 5, 6 - Oh this is it!
And 7, 8, 9 -Oh I’m so fine! and Then there’s 10 - Oh this never ends
This never ends…
2.

I’m tiny and I’m huge - I agree and I refuse
I’m dark and I’m light - I’m fake and I’m right
I’m the now and the then - The foe and the friend
I’m the thick and the thin - I’m out and I’m in
I’m the front and rear - The courage and the fear

I’m true and I’m false- I’m nothing at all
I’m the feather and the stone - High up and deep below
I’m the good and the bad - The success and the mishap
chorus:
And 1, 2, 3 - now I see - and 4, 5, 6 - Oh this is it!
And 7, 8, 9 -Oh I’m so fine! and Then there’s 10 - Oh this never ends
This never ends…
