Farida - Next To Nothing (Prod by Ross O'Donoghue)

I wrote Dear God at the end of 2016, following what I believed was not only a turbulent year but also one characterised by callousness over care. I was also reflecting on the past couple of years of my own life, and I was still struggling to come to terms with personal losses and heartache. This song was my way of coping with it all.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening and for your support,

LYRICS 

Dear God, 
I have some questions to ask
It's alright if you pass
I'm just a ghost from your past

Dear God,
Can't you cure my disease?
This disease of the mind
Or am I not worth the time?

'Cause dear god,
I lost you in the dark
When Death hit His mark
And my soul lost its spark

And I got so confused when I came out so bruised
And I lost all my youth
And I couldn't find you
And it's easy to say that you left me that day
But I left you in a way
And I was never the same

CHORUS
Oh no, I cannot stand it but you know better
I'm damned, but I'll pray
Is life really better this way?
I'm sure there are answers
And I know I'm so erratic but hopeful
So I will still ask anyway
Is life really better this way?
I hope I find answers some day
I hope I find answers some day

Dear God,
I've been told that you love 
All the life on this earth
But is it really deserved?

Dear God,
Why is there so much pain
Falsely done in your name
Or are your children to blame?

'Cause my god,
How can people behave
In the cruellest of ways
And believe they'll be saved?

And I get so confused when they claim that they're right
Disguised in your light
With a venomous bite
And it's easy to say you'll condemn them one day
But surely they pray
Does that make it okay?

CHORUS
Oh no, I cannot stand it but you know better
I'm damned, but I'll pray
Is life really better this way?
I'm sure there are answers
And I know I'm so erratic but hopeful
So I will still ask anyway
Is life really better this way?
I hope I find answers some day
I hope I find answers some day

Dear God,
I had some questions to ask
It's alright if you passed
I'm just a ghost

Dear God (demo)

Break All Rules

I wrote this song a while back right after I read The Darkest Minds for the first time, and I was inspired by the relationship between Liam & Ruby. 

This story in particular is written from Liam's perspective and what I imagine his thoughts to be throughout the events of the first book.

Inevitable

Hey there -- my annual (9th? 10th?) holiday present to you simply had to be "thank u, next" this year. A lot of people guessed it already -- I hadn't really decided between "No tears left to cry" or this one when I sat down with my guitar the night before last to feel out the vibes. I loved them both the moment I heard them, but the explicit message of gratitude and acceptance in "thank u, next" swiftly inspired me to reimagine the lyrics to fit my own experiences - and for once, I felt this would need to happen in Norwegian (mostly).

All of this was recorded, mixed and mastered by Matias Tellez in Bergen, Norway between the hours of 11am and 8pm on December 22, 2018 - I sing and play the guitar, Matias plays everything else. 

Please enjoy, stay warm and peaceful this Christmas, and beyond. 
More love in 2019.

thank u, next

Hadde troen på deg
Men det ble ikke oss
Slik jeg skrev om i sanger
Mine drømmer til tross
Jeg ble til og med gift 
Da jeg var tjueto
Selv om det gikk som det måtte
Så beholder jeg troen

En var en mor
En var en kompis
En var en elsker
Som kan bli en søster
Har elsket og tapt
Men det er ikke poenget
For se alt jeg har
Se alt du ga meg
Derfor sier jeg

Thank you, next…
Jeg har bare ømhet for min ex

Ble noe rot med en venn
Og jeg mistet meg selv
Så jeg fant opp en annen
Som jeg ble til en kveld
For jeg trengte så veldig raskt
En som var der konstant
Til jeg skjønte hvem jeg var
Og jeg holdt fast i han

En var en bror
En var en stjerne
En var meg sjøl
Langt der i det fjerne
Har elsket og tapt
Men det er ikke poenget
For se alt jeg har
Jeg trenger ikke lete
Derfor sier jeg

Thank you, next…
Jeg har bare ømhet for min ex

Plutselig skjedde noe stort
Større enn det jeg visste
Da jeg var god idiot
Og var nœr ved å miste deg
Så mye heller bare vœre her
Enn å leve i fortid
Eller love en fremtid
Som kanskje aldri når frem hit

Så mye ømhet
Med så mye glede
Med så mye takknemlighet
Jeg håper du ser det
Har elsket og tapt
Men det er ikke poenget
For se alt jeg har
Jeg trenger ikke si det
Men jeg synger likevel

Thank you, next…
Eg har bare ømhet for min ex
