Norway MET 2013: we don't know Geir, Jarle and James live at the hut

when everyone was here, i sat on the verandah strumming the mandolin and wrote this, at the same time tharek and jarle where sitting on a bench atop a rock writing lead me home and bjorn was at the table near the shore writing never be the same again. meanwhile tim and the others where recording straight ahead.

once everyone was gone i played my little song to geir and jarle, and much to my amazement they worked out the chords on guitar from my amateur strumming.

we recorded this live.

i played mandolin and sang
jarle played the guitar at the intro the fingerpicking throughout
and geir played the strummed guitar

i will post the lyrics when i find them.

an ode from me
a poem to you
a song sung sweet
a song sung blue
a play on words
a sleight of hand
a string struck soft
a string struck blue
and we don't know
the how or why
and we don't see
through other's eyes
a simple chord
a fumbled strum
a song sung sweet
a song sung blue
a song sung well
a song sung true
a note played soft
a note played blue

we don't know
