Hidden Springs

Verse:
If the river's running 
Or the clouds are covering the sun 
And the wind is humming 
(It don’t matter) 
If the flowers blooming 
Or the leaves are falling to the ground 
Trees are freezing 
(It don’t matter)

Pre-Chorus:
If you start looking the past the rugged covers of the books
You will find that it is better than it looks 

Chorus:
Dance your way through it
Let your smile guide you into
the hidden springs
Laugh your way through it 
Let your light show the way to
The hidden springs of love 

Verse :
If the water shimmers
Or is sending shivers down the spine 
You should jump in
(It don’t matter) 
If it’s raining sideways 
Or the sweat is dripping off your face 
Let’s embrace it

Pre Chorus:
If you start looking the past of the rugged covers of the books
You will find that it is better than it looks 

Chorus:
Dance your way through it
Let your smile guide you into
The hidden springs
Laugh your way through it 
Let your light show the way
to the hidden springs
of love

The Story Behind the Lyrics

Hidden Springs came together at Nordic Songcamping in Kristiansand. The song was born out of a sense of gratitude and learning to find beauty in whatever season you’re in. Lyrically, it’s about choosing joy and finding what really matters and letting go of the rest. I wanted to capture the feeling of renewal, like sunlight breaking through clouds.

Still the Waves

Chorus 1:
Still the waves of my heart, oh Lord
Still the waves of my soul
Still the waves of my heart, oh Lord
Still the waves of my soul

Verse 1:
Sitting on the floor of the sea
Sorrowing
Hoping for a love
That delivers me
Sitting on the floor of the sea
Sorrowing
Hoping for a love
That can never be
Will it ever be?

Verse 2:
Falling in and out of reverie
Whispering
Sighs and secrets hidden in the reeds
Innocence
Staring in the еyes of a thief
Faithfully
Following a light deep beneath…
The waves

Chorus 2:
Still the waves of my heart, oh Lord
Let the divine work in me
Still the waves, calm the storm, oh God
Let me rest in your peace

Bridge/Outro:
I can swim in existence
But for this mystical soaring
I’m too heavy
I can swim in existence
But for this mystical soaring
I’m too heavy

The Story Behind the Lyrics

Still the Waves is inspired by Søren Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling and the Danish folk ballad Agnete and the Merman — a haunting tale about what it’s like to be torn between two worlds.
