This song is a reflection on a pretty miserable time I had as a young man in London, here’s the lyrics:


I pulled my collar tight
As I stepped into the snow
Down green lanes 329
I’ll walk again this time

Found some copper coins
It’s time to make a choice
Cat food / loaf of bread
He’s not a hunter

It’s no kind of skyline
For a lonely traveler 
I’d trade all the bright lights
For a warmed up meal

I’m searching everywhere
For some kind of feeling
That I belong here

People everywhere 
Disappear into the dark
They say that they’ll be there
When you need them

I fell in through my door
After 12 hours cleaning cars
Face down on the floor
I wept for hours 

It wasn’t the adventure
I had in my mind
London has been unkind

look up at the skyline
For an open space
Amongst the coal stained walls

People everywhere 
Not a friend in sight

With his rich baritone and fragile falsetto voice, Bränna Jorden sets a mood as soothing as it is heartbreaking. Accompanied by a tapestry of organic and electronic textures and tinged with Nordic mysticism, Bränna cites a diverse range of influences from folk and electronic artists across many genre.

The Bränna Jorden project was originally conceived as a one-off, to release the haunting single ‘Scorch The Earth’ in support of the black summer bushfire appeal in a compilation by the ‘Live Electronic Musicians of Melbourne’. Since then, a body of work has brewed beneath the surface that is too disarming not to be heard by a wider audience. Bränna launches his second single ‘Middle Distance’ on June 17th.

A regular on the Melbourne music scene for some years under various aliases, Bränna Jorden has conceived a live show to embrace some of Melbourne’s more intimate and interesting spaces.
