all right/ classic track/sound is great/ no. mistake

I see i am late catching up with this one....as usual....enjoying it very much..

a fab song, perfectly delivered and accompanied.....well done indeed...Ed

The lighness of the playing compliments the lyrics beatifully

Great orchestration..fantastic vocal lyric track..I'm just a drifter..captivating & electrifying..awesome recording & mix!

an exquisite musical balm for the soul. wonderful. (<;

Of course, everything is lovely in this: Oddrun's vocals and the orchestration.  But what I listen to now is the underpainting of a beautiful piano composition.  It really is very beautiful.

I am very happy to share with you this song I made with Oddrun Eikli and Ad van Nederpelt.
Its been a great joy working together on this project. 
Thank you Oddrun and Ad!  you made this song become beautiful

Poem: Emely Dickingson

Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Little-known during her life, she has since been regarded as one of the most important figures in American poetry.

In this poem, Dickinson discusses her love for a man. She is jealous of everything around him, the water "He rides", the Chariots, the hills that watch him going by, the sparrows, the fly, even the leaves.
"I envy Seas, whereon He rides --" can be seen as a love poem for a man, but it can also be seen as a religious poem. The mention of Heaven and Gabriel can easily make this connection. The love of God and the love of everything he created.

I envy seas whereon he rides

I envy seas whereon he rides,
I envy spokes of wheels
Of chariots that him convey,
I envy speechless hills

That gaze upon his journey;
How easy all can see
What is forbidden utterly
As heaven, unto me!

I envy nests of sparrows
That dot his distant eaves,
The wealthy fly upon his pane,
The happy, happy leaves

That just abroad his window
Have summer’s leave to be,
The earrings of Pizarro
Could not obtain for me.

I envy light that wakes him,
And bells that boldly ring
To tell him it is noon abroad,—
Myself his noon could bring,

Yet interdict my blossom
And abrogate my bee,
Lest noon in everlasting night
Drop Gabriel and me.

I envy Seas, whereon He rides (Oddrun Eikli , Ad van Nederpelt, Torbjørn Vagle
