Lyrics:
Kjøsterud!
Kjøsterud!

Kom la meg vise deg det stedet der jeg kommer fra
Kom skal jeg vise deg den beste plass på Åssia
Du ser det nå, mitt hjerte slår

Kjøsterud!
Kjøsterud!

Så rekk opp hånda hvis du mener det, få høre deg. Hey!
Det er en spirit som de fleste kan misunne deg
Du ser det nå, våre hjerter slår

Kjøsterud!
Kjøsterud!

Så du trokke unga lærer no på skolen om da’n
Lærer’n er på ferie og alle kidsa gir faen
Så tenk deg neste gang du drikker kaffen din
Du merker at tida flyr forbi

Det er nye tider nå, det er lett å si
Men likevel de’r noen som får det til
Skal vi tro på statistikk, for vi gjør det mad vilt
Det er vi som er Norges framtid!

Verden er der ved et tasteklikk
Hvor skal jeg starte sånn ved første blikk
Greit å vite hvor man kommer fra
Føler meg superklar

Folka snakker sensasjon
For vi er den nye generasjon, fra det beste sted på jord’n
De’kke flaut å komme fra den beste skolen!

Kjøsterud!
Kjøsterud!

TRACK DESCRIPTION:
You ever fell in love? Yeah me neither so lets pretend! By constructing a false memory using fictitious scenarios inspired by a random Hispanic kid's lyrics! In all seriousness the meaning behind this song has always hit home for me but I hope it will mean much more to you!

LYRICS:
My mind is set •
To overdrive •
Temporary time •
To make you realize •
Maybe i’m meant for you •
(Are you on board?) •
Maybe i’ll allude you •
(To the downpour) •
Am I making you sad or am I making you happy? •
You just gotta tell me if your life is so sappy •
I just wanna know x2 •
I just wanna help you out •

~ Verse 1 ~
I know I’m often shy but so are you •
We’re not on each other’s nerves we’re just simply nervous •

Your pursuit of happiness is my purpose•
I’ve told my friends countless of times •
You’re the constant presence on, on my mind •

The smallest amounts of kind—ness •
Send me in a surplus of mindfulness •

~ Verse 2 ~
The holy fire burns like a million forbidden suns •
We can’t put out the sinful flame we’ve begun •

Got on the run, got on the run •
The way you make me feel •
(Way you make me feel) •
 Got on the run x6 •
The way you make me feel •
(Way you make me feel) •

Baby you’re a raffle ticket •
No way of telling whether you’ll 
lose •

~ Chorus ~
My mind is set •
To overdrive • 
Temporary time •
To make you realize •
Maybe i’m meant for you •
(Are you on board?) •
Maybe i’ll allude you •
(To the downpour) •
Am I making you sad or am I making you happy? •
You just gotta tell me if your life is so sappy •
I just wanna know x2 •
I just wanna help you out •

~ Bridge ~
Music’s my gospel, baby •
But I’ll worship you on the daily •
x3

~ Verse 3 ~
Soft piano sitting in a quiet room •
Starlight dinner and the romantic northern lights illume •
Roller coasters where the wind once blew •
Put my passions to the side to pursue only you •
Partner in crime, partner in crime •
Causin’ all these misdemeanors •
Partner in crime, partner in crime •
Police sirens, sorry i’m speeder! •
Love at it’s prime, love at it’s prime •

I released two singles under the artist name The Late Bloomers, "I Wanna Do This Thing" (November 2017), and "Golden Dusty Road" (January 2018), before I changed to my real name as my artist name in the fall of 2018. Both singles were re-released under my real name, with new b-sides December 2018. I was invited to play at the annual singer-songwriter evening for "up-and-coming artists" in my county in November 2018. Also, in late 2018, another of my songs "We All Feel the Rain" achieved a runner up placement in the Song of the Year songwriting contest. The song was co-written With John K. Aspinwall (a former UK Songwriting Contest winner) and mixed by Ronny Janssen (Kylie Minogue, Ina Wroldsen etc.). Finally, the song was mastered by Peter Michelsen of Donkeyboy and released December 2019. In December 2019, I also released my first single in Norwegian, called "Kjøsterud" - a song about the school I'm working at, in Drammen, Norway.

I started playing organ at age 10, but has later changed to acoustic guitar as my main instrument. I wrote my first song when I was 13, but has since mid 90s, come up with new ideas almost weekly. In early 2000s, I recorded around 30 demoes (none of which were ever released), and began playing at "open mic" concerts in Oslo, Norway. In 2016, I decided I had to do something with the more than 1000 song ideas that I had, so in 2017 I went into studio and cut two of my favorites. But there is much more to come!! On SoundCloud you can listen to my singles, along with other songs I have recorded at home. Hope you like my music:-)

I love to listen to music myself, from indie, americana, pop, rock, psychedelic and progressive to country, early heavy rock, britpop and southern rock. Also, I collect vinyl records. Some of my favorite artists include Grateful Dead, Jason Isbell, Ryan Adams, Jonathan Wilson, Blackberry Smoke, Miranda Lee Richards, Led Zeppelin, Dylan LeBlanc, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Genesis, Yes, Fats Domino, Elvis, Madrugada, Bigbang, Band of Horses, Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Phosphorescent, Gospelbeach, The War On Drugs and many, many more. I work as a teacher (in English, Music and Religion/Ethics) and write songs in my spare time.
