Oh for Faith to lead my home
For I have wondered Oh so long
Fear is gone
No time to grieve
I remember Life so near.
And I have seen the shades of Green.
And yours is Oh so bright,
my dear
In all of time
Oh may I see
And never shall I turn Aside
I will be with you again
Now for you I have no pain
Fear is gone,
No time to grieve
For I remember
Life so dear.

Excellent song and great vocals. How was the percussion done? Real drums or iPhone app?

Beautiful, a little different from some of the noisy stuff you guys got up to. Straight from the heart, the emotion shines right through. I like the backing vox which make it sound like you are sat under a starry Norwegian sky all singing together. Not sure if it was done live but you've captured a lovely feel in the recording.

This is the only song that wasn't done totally live, and was recorded in separate parts. There was some debate about adding extra guitar, but sometimes less is more. It was very special watching it being shaped. I'll never forget Tharek and Jarle sitting away together on a bench by the fjord writing it. Was a pleasure to play even a tiny part in the recording of it.

My best memory of this recording is of me standing next to Tim in front of a pair of mics singing some backing vocals with Geir hitting the right buttons in the right order.
It was spinetingling!

It was an incongruous sight, a Norsk giant and a not so giant English giant under a tree, on a rock, next to the sea, with guitars. All a bit surreal.

This sounds like a traditional song -- a standard -- not one written in the last month. Very touching.
