Living is easy with heartache I’m so happy I can cry Nothing you can say can sting or heal me It’s all the same, who’s to blame? Hiding is easy at sunset And I’ll be up to greet the sun. (And I’ll be up to greet the sun.) Don’t you try to put your arms around me Let’s turn away, what’s left to say? No regrets, unpaid debts No crushing defeat Your emotion across the ocean Is coming back on repeat I lost everything I had for you Living is easy with heartache Why aren’t you happy I can fly? (Aren’t you happy I can cry?) Open up and let the ghosts escape I heard them say, no one’s to blame No regrets, unpaid debts No crushing defeat Your emotion across the ocean Is coming back on repeat I lost everything I had I gave everything I had You took everything I had for you Living is easy with heartache

Our time is heavy now A load on the branch I don’t know where I’ll land And when I do, will I leave Or leap over the ledge? Our next step Rub your eyes and believe in Our next step Oh, I want to go Two drops skirt the sea A sweet mystery I think we know why we’re here And this moment makes it clear Leap over the edge Our next step Wipe your eyes and believe in Our next step Oh I want to go Leap over the ledge Our next step Rub your eyes and believe in Our next step Oh I want to go

Rush my heart, rush my heart Come closer Exposure Rush my heart Play this harp of mine Make my raw strings chime Oh, pluck me Abduct me Rush my heart November night Lost my light And the river is high Amy, oh point me home Hello supermoon, hello supermoon Hanging over Rolling over me Rush my heart November night Lost my light And the river is high Amy, oh point me home Rush my heart, rush my heart Come closer, exposure Rush my heart Rush my heart Rush my heart

I Love You 03:41
By the creek I froze Amazed I heard a note Floating free I shook through the night. The sun can split the clouds and show What’s above and what’s below And sing out what I know, I know, I know, I know I love you I love you Too long I’ve denied Fearless, your faith arrived Floating free you came in the light. The sun can split the clouds and show What’s above and what’s below And sing out what I know, I know, I know, I know I love you I love you Sing out what I know, I know I love you I love you I love you I love you

Happy Birthday, Alex, may all your dreams come true Happy Birthday, Alex, does it really matter what you do? You can blow out the candles Wish upon a star Bang a drum Howl at the moon Happy Birthday, Alex, may all your dreams come true Life will stop and haunt you Even worse it may pass you by We’ve got two hands to grab it But alone we’re paralyzed. Even men with everything Starve face down in pie Happy Birthday, Alex, let your dreams come true Take a look around you Friends and family at your side You know you’ll always have us No matter what you decide Happy Birthday, Alex, may all your dreams come true Happy Birthday, Alex, does it really matter what you do? You can blow out the candles Wish upon a star Bang a drum Howl at the moon Happy Birthday, Alex, may all your dreams come true

A web of flames, on dripping walls A flood of sparks at the door I’m going in and I’ve been here before What’s lying in wait for me? Am I the only one who believes? Come back I miss you Olivia Cross my palm with broken stars Collapse like coal into fire I’m drawn again to a love I won’t survive What’s lying in wait for me? Am I the only one who believes? Come back, I need you, Olivia Come back to me, come back to me Olivia My friends all know who is to blame And still I honor your name Come back to me Olivia What’s lying in wait for me? Am I the only one who believes? Come back, cause I love you, Olivia Come back to me, come back to me Olivia My friends all know who is to blame And still I honor your name Come back to me Olivia Come back to me Olivia Come back to me Olivia

Hello my little star Hello my little star outside this door I lie awake at night I search the empty sky Where did you go? I lost you little star You put your tender ear against the door Did the silence shatter you? Was that how you knew You had to go? You snapped your fingers you were gone And when you went away I lost my home, home Oh, I lost my home Solo Hello my little star Will you bring peace on earth outside this door? I know we need it now We need your love right now Where did you go? We blinked our eyes and you were gone And when the world is whole again Will you come home? Home. Oh, will you come home? Oooo Where did you go?

Show Me 02:34
I caught a glimpse the day I was born Life took its turn and I was torn Don’t let it fade, show me I followed you down and fell to the earth I listened too long, found love in the dirt And endless parade that showed me Mistakes that were laid, to show me I found a reason to believe Hold me close it’s all I need Since then you’ve seen the trouble it’s caused So who is the man behind the flaws? You came to my aid when you showed me I found a reason to believe Hold me close, it’s all I need, it’s all I need I caught a glimpse the day I was born Life took its turn and I was torn Don’t let it fade, show me Don’t let it fade, please show me Show me Show me Show me

about

'Leaving Longing, Love' is an album that explores the themes of of each of the words in the title as if they were a cycle we all go through in our lives, being drawn to and then moving away from people and situations through different genres such as Americana, rock, chamber pop, Native American rhythms, 1960s British psychedelic pop and R&B. Producer Bendik Brænne leaves his mark all over the record with a touch of Burt Bacharach and the Beach Boys and his warmth and humor.

It is a record about self-confirmation through breaking up, longing and love with a positive angle and a musicality that makes it a joy to listen to.
