Kingdom by the Sea

He loved her from the day he saw her
floating in a shaft of sunlight
in the mellow hour of a summer day.

She came out the blue as in a dream,
and turned his life into a song
he carried in the chambers of his heart.

He took her to a golden shore;
she loved the sea and the salty sand.
The days were long, their love strong.

He promised her he would never part.
as his hand caressed her glossy hair.
Their bodies twined in love’s embrace.

With a fall of snow, white winter came.
Then she grew pale and her heart did chill.
In a graveyard by the sea, she lies as if asleep.

The days grow long and the nights grow cold;
he dreams of her in their love’s embrace
as they together lie in their kingdom by the sea.

Kingdom by the Sea

The Yarn of the Nancy Bell

Valhjim is a music composer with an eclectic approach to different genres: rock, pop, folk, New Age, and experimental electronic music. Greatly driven by imagination and poetic imagery, he combines multiple instrumental textures to fire the imagination of his listeners. 

His more experimental ambience and electronic music is built with layers of suggestive sound textures, rhythms, and melodic lines that stir the imagination into suggestive imagery and worlds unseen, true architectures of sound that open up limitless spaces to explore. Often Valhjim's melodies sail through genre thresholds, crossing over from one genre to another, from neo classcal to electronic, or from jazz to rock or new age.
