INGENTING Å KASTE
Jeg har altfor mye bagasje
jeg reiser tungt
jeg har samlet alle gamle minner
helt siden jeg var ung
Det er ingenting å kaste
det er ingenting å miste
alt skal med
Jeg har altfor mange tanker
som surrer rundt og rundt og rundt
De jager meg om natten
og når jeg pröver å ta en blund
Det er ingenting å kaste
det er ingenting å mist
alt skal med
NOTHING TO THROW AWAY
I have too much luggage
I travel heavily
I have collected all the old memories
ever since I was young
There is nothing to throw away
there is nothing to lose
everything must be included
I have too many thoughts
which buzzes around and around and around
They chase me at night
and when I try to take a nap
There is nothing to throw away
there is nothing to lose
everything must be included

I really got a sense of foreboding in this-that the singer felt that they were oppressed by the weight of everything.

Great vibe and vocal. I especially like your phrasing and delivery on, "Jeg har altfor mange tanker som surrer rundt og rundt og rundt".

One way or another we do find ways to carry it with us. Good bluesy song.

This could have been the first time I have heard a Norwegian song that didn't have a heavy metal deep throated roar of a vocal
This one appeals to me because I too find it hard to throw away anything of sentimental value to me.

"There is nothing to throw away / there is nothing to lose / everything must be included" really nice. A different take on this prompt than a lot of us - not all baggage can be left behind!

The simple blues chords really feel like pushing forward with heavy luggage. Growing older is a course in organizing memories.
@vivalarayna Feb 2022
Old memories are the heaviest baggage of all. I really appreciate listening to music in other languages. The sentiment still comes through in your delivery.
@hmstreetteam Feb 2022
The weight of memories and ideas — the song makes the case that these are not so different from the weight of anything else. It is a distinctive angle to take.

I love listening to Norwegian. I've had a desire to visit since I was about 10 years old, and have yet to get there (done Sweden and Finland though).
I really enjoyed listening to this in such a beautiful lyrical language, it sings off the page !
I am just getting to grips with throwing most of my 'mind' and 'literal' baggage away, very cleansing :)
@kenmattsson Feb 2022
Nice blues feel to this. I do like the sentiments of this.
Jag pratar svensk, så jag kan förstå en liten av din norska lyrics.

Hej hej. Det var fint! I like the vibe a lot and the world weary vocal. I can almost imagine it recorded stripped down like this with just a little reverb on the vocals? some extra instrument adding at the end. but nice stuff!
