Dylan Mulvaney - Days of Girlhood

An homage to Nadjas ex relations with human turtles.
We have all written this song equally Me  Nadja Itäsaari and Markus Göranson and Johannes Trossö. It has taken a while for this song, concept and video to emerge from it's own shell. Not because it took us long to write it, but because of the pandemic and the fact that I am a night owl living on my own, and Markus an Jojje having families to attend to. So time schedules has really been the main thing making this shy Turtle to emerge.

We hope you like it, and we would love it if you'd like to comment, add it to your playlists or share it. I personally hope this song is going to encourage all the women out there staying in toxic relationship patterns - to break free and listen to your own needs. 

This lyric came straight from my heart ❤️🫀🐢 - at the time I didn't listen, therefore this frustration:

Lyrics (Nadja Itäsaari):
Turtle Shell

I wish i told you once
I wish i told you twice
The things you do my dear 
they make me paralysed

I guess I’ve been here twice
Yes quite too many times
My words get tangled up 
They’re squashed down deep inside

But I, yes i wish that i could tell you
That I, when you get stuck in you turtle shell I feel unseen

And I, I guess these feelings are taking over my logic parts
Yes I, I am a woman dear just listen to me fill up my needs

I’ve been trying once
I’ve been trying twice
Your ears shut off, your mind is not here not right now
I’ve been here more than once
More times than i could count
Taken for granted feeling buried yet alive

I think i told you once
I think i told you twice
Your shells too thick 
Your sending inconsistent signs

But I, yes i wish that i could tell you
That I, when you get stuck in you turtle shell I feel unseen

And I, i guess these feelings are too much to handle, yes even for me
Yes I, I am a woman dear just listen to me, yes give and receive

I’m swimming in this ocean 
of serendipity
You swimming next to me
Your silence feels like a threat to me

But I, yes i wish that i could tell you
That I, when you get stuck in you turtle shell I feel unseen

And I, I guess these feelings are too much to handle, yes even for me
Yes I, I am a woman dear just listen to me, fill up my needs

Nadja is a Singer/Songwriter, Producer and Multi Artist based in Gothenburg Sweden. She creates music that captures the essence of nature in collision with the concrete sights, surrounding the environment in her everyday life, near the harbors of Gothenburg City.

After ten years being an artist in different constelations, and her solo debute ”Songs From the Woods of Inner Mind” 2015,
2020 was the year she elongated her music and soundscapes into audiovisual work - exploring the psychological aspects of her own relations, childhood trauma, High Sensitivity and Sobriety - with fable themes. 

Flavored with intense psychedelic humouristic multiverses with a social realistic twist. Nadja creates a live experience that is hard not to get moved by.

Her mind seems to naturally co-exist inbetween the universe, and a cup of freshly brewn coffee - wich she has to microwave many times a day - due to her forgetfullness of it’s and other earthly matters existence.
