A seasonal song i wrote a couple of months ago, dedicated to my sister, Kjersti. Recorded in my bed, work in progress.
Markus left today. It feels really empty in my room now… When I first came to Liverpool, I wrote this song:
Always at night (lyrics by Mari Vestbø)
take off my clothes and i wish you could stare
the dirty words, i wish you were here
saying the things that makes me feel so good
kissing my neck i know that you would do
reach for you in the back of my mind
Feel your warm skin when I travel in time
I open my eyes and I realize you’re not here
I’m lying alone in a bed made to share
it’s always at night, i miss you the most
it’s always at night that my feelings show
hold me tight, i’m crying all alone
tonight, tonight, I miss you
tonight, tonight, I miss you
Pictures fading, a day feels like years
all the memories, drenched in acid tears
Loosing my mind, I think I’m paranoid
Come pick me up, I’m stuck in this void.
it’s always at night, i miss you the most
it’s always at night that my feelings show
hold me tight, i’m crying all alone
tonight, tonight, I miss you
tonight, tonight, I miss you
It’s really mellow, but describes how I feel when I’m all alone without my love. But hey, it’s only about a month ‘til I see him again.
The next weeks I am going to focus 100% on school and be a really good girl. I have to start write my Christmas song for Songwriting class. It’s so hard! I’m kinda in a Christmas mood, since all the lights and decorations are up, but it’s really weird not having any frost or snow yet. I do have some ideas for my song, but sometimes it’s so hard transforming my thoughts into lyrics.
This evening I’m going out with the girls to Shipping Forecast. Casiokids, a really cool electro band from Norway, is playing there tonight. It’s going to be awesome!
Me and my beautiful bf outside Heebie Jeebies on Saturday <3
Yesterday, the girls and I had planned an evening with dinner and red wine at Trine’s place. What I didn’t know was that when I came there my boyfriend, Markus, had flown in from Sweden to surprise me! He was hiding in Trine’s room, and called me on my phone. There I was, talking to him and telling him I missed him so much, and then he suddenly stood in front of me saying “hi”. I was so stunned, and so happy! The girls and Markus had obviously planned this for two weeks or something, and I didn’t have the slightest clue! It’s the best surprise ever! I thought I wasn’t going to meet him until Christmas. It’s so nice to see him again!
Today we are at The Quarter with Nora and Mattias. We’ve had breakfast and coffee, and we are actually studying. Me, Nora and Mattias are finishing our Snapshot project which is due to Sunday. Markus is staying here ‘til Tuesday, so these next days are going to be awesome.
Breakfast at The Quarter with my love…
I feel it’s about time I join the wave of self-exposure and narcissistic notes and thoughts about myself. I’m going to use this page to give you a little update on what’s going on in my life whilst I’m chasing my dream of becoming a professional musician. I know I’m not going to be able to update this blog everyday, but I’ll try do it as often as I can.
A little peek on whats going on in my life right now: I have a lot to do the next couple of weeks. Three major assessments; Ensemble group performance with 5 original songs, songwriting assessment where I have to write and record an original Christmas or Winter song and a vocal lesson assessment where I have to perfect a song. Phew, it’s going to be a lot of hard work and a lot of rehearsals. But it’s so fun and challenging! It’s not like I have to read through 1000 pages of dry theory and write an essay about it, right? I simply love my school. :)
Today it’s one month ‘til I’ll be back in Norway. It’s going to be nice to see my friends and family again. I miss you.
I made a mood board which shows what I spend time and money on. Mostly music, concerts, fashion, friends and good times. Going straight up on the wall over my bed.
