THE SEA DOES NOT KNOW YOUR NAME

Two months a year the sun does not rise where she lives

vex on it

the run

Honest use case: listeners seeking atmospheric, introspective, and melancholic music with a focus on existential themes and natural grandeur.

Exhibit: “Det er ikke grusomt. Grusomhet krever oppmerksomhet. Det er verre enn grusomt. Det er bare stort.”

lyrics

(havet)

Havet vet ikke navnet ditt og kommer ikke til a laere det
The sea does not know your name and will not be learning it
Det tar en fisker hvert tiende ar og teller ikke
It takes a fisherman every ten years and does not keep count

And we build a church at the top of the hill
And we point it at the water like an argument

Bestefaren min ligger der ute et sted, uten adresse
My grandfather is out there somewhere without an address
Og havet har ikke merket at det tok noe
And the sea has not noticed that it took anything at all

And we build a church at the top of the hill
And we point it at the water like an argument

Det er ikke grusomt. Grusomhet krever oppmerksomhet.
It is not cruel. Cruelty would require it to be paying attention.
Det er verre enn grusomt. Det er bare stort.

And we build a church at the top of the hill
And we point it at the water like an argument
And the sea does not know your name
And the sea has never once looked up

(havet...)
