Capturing the euphoric feeling of carrying life inside of you, despite the fear and craziness that is going on in the world around... I (Lately La La) wrote this song being stuck in Oslo during the pandemic. I unpacked my music gear and recorded in our bedroom. We lived near the traintracks, so I would see empty trains going forth and back...

Matpakken- Banananan

Bedroom recording from Brighton spring 2009. Song reminiscent of a travelling past. Ireland in 1998- 1999.

Standing at the zebra crossing
red green red green is the colour of the city
and Im waiting
I missed the bus this morning, 
Its not by schedule anymore
and when it comes its so full
I cant be getting on
Fastfood dinners in a fancy restaurant
Ive got short breaks ready that wait

And when Im done I go and sit in the park
and im talking to the birds beside me
and I know that I dont really belong here
The birds//The birds//The birds

Walking down Grafton street with all of the musicians
How I wish I could be one of them
I was a busker one time when I was drunk,
I got 20p from an old man we sang:
aaaaaaaaaaa

And Im sitting in the park and I am talking to the birds beside me
and I know that I dont reallt belong here
The birds// The birds// The birds

REALITY

This track was made when the first green colours came out after a long winter in Oslo, spring 2020. Finally seeing the green after many grey months can be overwhelming, and hopefully spills over in dance.

Clap Song

Lately La La took shape when Sara Gustafsson lived in Brighton and started to play in open mic's in the late noughties. She started rendering famous songs, like "I wanna dance with somebody", "Naive" by Lily Allen and "Boys, boys boys" by Sabrina. 
Overwhelmed by the response from the audience, Sara started to mix in compositions of her own in the live performances. She used various sound sources on stage, tape recorder and minidisc as well as different instruments. The years in Brighton formed Sara and the beginnings of Lately La La.
These are some audience words from live performances:

"I really like your your thing. (another one joins in) 
- Me too!"

"Its the third best gig i have ever been to, 
and I have been to a lot of gigs, I have seen 
The Rolling Stones five times for example"

"Its the female Jonathan Richman"

"Born to be on stage"

"Really good songs!"

"Sounds a bit like dirty ol'bastard"

“Keep doing your thing!”

“Get off stage girls, you are too drunk!”
