"I Never Expected" is a loveballad compressed with emotions. We like to think that it flows like a river in a beautiful landscape while releasing scents of Nordic Folk and Country.
The lyrics are not just representing the classical love-hate theme of love ballads, but open a gate to a wider (spiritual) understanding of human relations.

Lyrics:
I never expected the well of life to run so deep and clear
I never dared to hope the spring of love to run so fast and dear
I never experienced vibrations so intensely my body to smear

You are the essence of all beauty in my close vicinity
You carry me away from the now to infinity
You are with God and me as a holy Trinity

I never expected the summer of love to endure so long
I never dared to imagine so much music to dance on my tongue
I never experienced vibrations of soul to become so strong

You are the essence of all beauty in my close vicinity
You carry me away from the now to infinity
You are with God and me as a holy Trinity

You are a diamond to shine so bright among the sand and stone
You nurse my heart in velvet scarfs, it’s not alone
You walk the aisle gracefully like a noble to the throne

By God I can’t deny it… 

You are the essence of all beauty in my close vicinity
You carry me away from the now to infinity
You are with God and me as a holy Trinity

Your soul linger in me so delicately with amenity
Your heart drums the beat of my whole destiny
Your fine etheric touch feels deep into serenity

You are the essence of all beauty in my close vicinity
You carry me away from the now to infinity
You are with God and me as a holy Trinity
