For the Sake of It by talker

----

I’m in the fire, of trying to do everything
Burning desire lit up the house i’m living in
I’m caving in, too sensitive and delicate
Every step forward, makes a mistake

In the weeds, pulled everything that I could get
Dirt on my sleeves, but i don’t see the garden yet
I’m digging in, still waiting on the benefits
Checking off boxes, cleaning my plate

You could say i’m doing my best
Every time i take in any oxygen

You could say just give it a rest
But I’m just gonna break and start it up again

Yeah I know myself

I’m wasting time
The more i try
Exhaust my mind

All for the sake of it
I feel so sick of it

Fighting the wind, too tired now to hold my ground
Throw myself in, it’s easy when I’m falling down

Giving in, habitual oblivion 
Sitting in silence, taking up space

You could say i’m doing my best
Every time i take in any oxygen

You could say just give it a rest
But i’m just gonna break and start it up again

I’m wasting time
The more i try
Exhaust my mind

All for the sake of it
I feel so sick of it

Losing light
I fall behind
But I still climb

All for the sake of it
I feel so sick of it

You could say I’m doing my best

I’m wasting time
The more i try
Exhaust my mind

All for the sake of it
I feel so sick of it

Losing light
I fall behind
But I still climb

All for the sake of it
I feel so sick of it

So sick of it
I feel so sick of it
So sick of it

All for the sake of it
I feel so sick of it

Drama – of the interpersonal kind – that’s what Hajk are about on their upcoming album. The band burst onto the Norwegian scene with their self-titled debut album, garnering broad appreciation way outside of their home country. Now, the highly anticipated follow-up is near – a record that both pulls at the heartstrings and urges you to dance.

Hajk’s 2017 debut received praise from the likes of Astrid S, Sigrid and Kimbra, as well as a united Norwegian music press. Internationally, outlets such as Noisey, Stereogum, Line of Best Fit, Drowned In Sound, The Independent and Clash Music gave the group standing ovations for their idiosyncratic, yet supremely catchy pop tunes, while likening them to everything from Dire Straits and Aztec Camera to Haim. On “Drama” Hajk embrace their urban influences, naming artists such as Solange, Frank Ocean and Thundercat.

With the sophomore album, “Drama”, a more confident band is on display. Sharpened by more studio experience, they have once again produced the record themselves. Blending analogue and digital sounds, switching between programmed arrangements and live takes from the studio, drawing on three lead vocalists and several guest musicians, Hajk has done whatever necessary to fullfill their creative vision. 

The title “Drama” relates to the drama of humanity and a somewhat naïve yearning for love in a world in which love sometimes seems scarce.

It’s been a while since the band recorded the songs for their debut album, and you can hear that they’re eager to get going. This time they are taking the sound of their debut a few notches further. We get the simple but grand ballads and we get the catchy up-tempo pop songs. In short, drama.

/// LYRICS:

Would you know it if you had?
She was written by a man
Only a warrior until she undresses

Do you feel that way too?
Jealous, misunderstood
Disrupting the party again
With your feelings

Have you seen her, Athena?
Have you seen her?
Feeling all the sorrow of a broken world
Heavy garlands hang from a divine fighter
When you break the silence
Does it feel like violence?

She’s your heroine
Shut her up again
Long may she reign
If she can hide her strength
Have you seen her, Athena?
Have you seen her?
