Where The Fire Used To Sleep

A heartfelt Norwegian Christmas ballad about love, gratitude, and the quiet peace of winter nights.
Warm acoustic tones, Celtic-inspired piano and fele, and Strengevind’s soft storytelling voice capture the moment you realize the finest gift was never under the tree.

Lyrics:

Snøen legg seg mjukt i natt,  
over hus og gamle spor.  
Eit lys i vindauget ventar,  
slik som før – og alt fekk ro.  
Eg går den same stien heim,  
med ei gåve eg aldri gløymer.  

For den finaste gåva eg fekk,  
låg ikkje under treet i år.  
Ho sat der og smilte mot meg,  
då mørkret var tungt og det snødde i går.  
Eg trong berre du, og du var der —  
den finaste gåva eg fekk.  

Eg hugsar lukta av gran og ved,  
og latteren som bar seg lett.  
Vi delte stille ord om håp,  
om alt vi hadde som vart sett.  
Eg trengde ikkje dyre ting,  
berre eit blikk som fann meg.  

For den finaste gåva eg fekk,  
var ikkje kjøpt med pengar og slit.  
Ho kom som eit lys i mørkret,  
som stilla i hjarta, som varme i hans.  
Du viste meg kva jula er —  
den finaste gåva eg fekk.  

Når klokka slår tolv, og alt står stilt,  
eg kjenner kor freden kjem til.  
For i kvar tone, i kvar tanke,  
er du nær – kjæresten min.  

Den finaste gåva eg fekk,  
er minna som eg vil hugse.  
Ein varm og stille desemberkveld —  
du såg meg, og eg såg deg.  
Og under treet står ho endå der —  
ho e den finaste gåva eg fekk.

Den finaste gåva

A Breath Between Mountain Winds.

Colorado Columbines is a feeling — the hush of dawn, the creak of old wood, the shimmer of fiddle and banjo carrying a whisper through the trees.
A Moment From Time (Remastered) lingers in that stillness: a simple circle of melody that reminds us how short and beautiful each passing second can be.

Originally recorded for the Colorado Columbines collection, this remastered edition brings a little more space, warmth, and clarity to the sound of quiet reflection.


Written and Produced by Michael Lemmer
Performed and Arranged by Colorado Columbines

Standing in the Rain

A warm, reflective blend of hip-hop drums, country guitar, fiddle and soulful R&B about growing older together. Snow outside, tea steam rising—her smile keeps his heart warm.

AMOR*LEBEN*TODO
Music, Mystery, and the Multiverse of Michael Lemmer

Somewhere between a mountain echo and a memory of the future, AMOR*LEBEN*TODO hums.
It’s not just a label — it’s a living signal. A constellation of songs, poems, and visions beamed from the heart of the Rockies into every corner of the cloud.

This SoundCloud page is a crossroads — a place for wanderers and one-offs, sonic sketches and stray transmissions. Here drift fragments of the greater work: folk and funk, dream and data, dub and dawnlight. Every sound is part of a larger conversation — between art and accident, code and spirit, love and the long road home.

Founded by artist-producer Michael Lemmer, AMOR*LEBEN*TODO carries a simple mission: to keep the signal alive. The music, the words, the images — all vibrate from the same pulse. A celebration of life, love, and the strange electric hum that connects it all.

Tune in, drift wide, and listen closely.
Every track is a little transmission from the in-between.
