The shoulder angel is well known amongst many. As well as the more darker impact that's supposed to be on the other shoulder. I remember this picure from several movies in my youth. I think it represent our own personality in a way and then it's up to each individual to decide who to listen to. One of them definitely offers more spice, whether it's sweet, salty or bitterly.

Spice

Based on a poem I wrote in norwegian in 2008. In norwegian the title translated to english is "The Stowaways". It's about those who is hiding amongst us. And they may not know why, and whether they want to be found or not.

Persona Non Grata

Life is fantastic, but to be alive can be hard. Things happen that can throw us to the ground and it feels like we never will be able to rise again. But in one way or another, life must go on. You must go on.

Go On

Very Vu

Based on a poem I wrote in norwegian during Covid lockdown. Interpersonal contact is a basic need for most people, but can also be a struggle. And it doesn't always work to meet others in the same way you yourself prefer.

Combat One

Off with Love

Television

How do you know that you made traces? Is it necessary to have made an big impact in life? Or is life just as valuable if your tracks are gone as soon as you leave?

Trace

Love is a drug. That desperate feeling of wanting someone to come back. Maybe not because of the person themselves, but because of the feeling the relation gave you. 

Colours

Our minds holds so much and can from time to time turn against us. It's important to focus on mental health. And even if it's not relevant to you today, it may be on a later stage. Many suffers all by themselves, and sadly it's associated with both shame and stigma. I would love to see more openness and acceptance amongst all of us around this.

Heart Beats Slow

About not knowing how far it is to shore, or help in general, when you are sinking in a sea of ​​challenges. And do you really want help? Or are you your own biggest saboteur?

Eternity

Benefit of Being Me

Chance For Change

Based on a terrible nightmare some years ago. It's one of those dreams that just get stuck in one's head. Well, especially when you write a poem about it right after.

The Iron Clouds

Deeper

About coming of age. The feeling of being both a young adult and an old child. Exciting and scary at the same time. And to be an adult witnessing this process. We all have at some point been in the shadow of our own.

The Shadow Of Your Own

Love Game

Our memory. Such a treasure. It allows us to travel in time, sort of. But there is also a lot attached to it, including the memories of people you've lost. And in some ways, memory is like a battery. It weakens over time and years, unfortunately without the possibilty to recharge. So many memories falls off on the way. But can we trust that our memory bank takes care of the most valuable ones?

The Power Of Thought

Two Times Red (at the traffic lights)

Under Your Skin

The are all kinds of mountains to face, fear or climb. And the greatest one are often within ourselves.
The title track from my debut album.

Mountains

The title track from the album Heart & Mind, out 29.08. 

Our heart and mind. These two siblings that often disputes an never get rid of eachother. Everyone of us is hosting them both. Sometimes they work well together, but quite too often they're opposites poles. Which one should you listen to, and when?

Heart & Mind

From the latest album Heart & Mind.

When is it acceptable to call it a quit? You will always feel relations are worth fighting for and you try and you try once more and so on. Until you realize, it's your last try - your final call.
Melodically this is quite upbeat. I don't know about others taste, but I think it fits melancholic lyrics very well.

Final Call

You’re Enough

"Every story has an ending
Like the one we´re making now"

From the latest album, Heart & Mind.

Fading Gently

Another standalone track.
The Reasons is a song about emotional control, fear and reclaiming freedom. It portrays the aftermath of a toxic relationship and the anxiety that lingers even after breaking free.

The Reasons

Winter has started to breathe.

Still Season

Another glimpse from the upcoming New Year EP (Dec. 5th 2025).

Made Of

This song is about hanging on.
Life isn’t always wonderful, and sometimes your dreams end up buried beneath layers of years of dust.
But you’re still here. You're still moving, still holding on.
And somewhere inside, the dreams are still alive.

Another glimpse from the upcoming New Year EP. Out December 5th, 2025.


Dream

The title song from the EP out Dec. 5th 2025.

Ask different people and you’ll get different answers,
but the days around New Year always feel a little wistful.
All the hopes, all the achievements, all the failures, all the losses -
as if life is quietly summing itself up.

May you feel seen in the New Year 💙

New Year

New release "New Year EP" out December 5th on all streaming platforms. 


North Of Neon creates melancholic synthpop rooted in 80s new wave and lo-fi indie. With shimmering keys, vintage drum machines and raw vocals, the music explores the space between heart and mind, between today and the past.

If you have any questions how the music is made and the process, just feel free to ask.

And thank you so much for all the listens, likes and reactions. I do this first and foremost for myself, but it's really fun if anything is in the likes of others.

I guess NoN is offering some Neon Lights. Some winter nights.
And surely some crap as well.

Take care out there!:)
