"Unplugged Fest" - "Damefugl" a Norwegian version of Jemima's Kite's Ladybird

[Tony W]

Absolutely stunning cover. Your guitar work was off the charts. Your vocals are superb, and I keep forgetting that you are bi-lingual. Geir, this is simply pure. I think this may be my second favorite tune that you've done.

Stunning.

Man, that's even better than the one you sent me on Saturday. Fantastic.

[Greeny]

It's awesome! The rough draft was excellent, but this is something else. A beautiful and perfect take that actually adds to our original version. The guitar alone is something that goes way beyond my abilities!!!! I'll never tire of listening to this one. Thanks for making my day.

Fantastic Geir. Great version of a great song, love the acoustic solo in the middle. The production is top notch, the acoustic instruments sound fantastic, which is no mean feat. Well done and what a fitting compliment to the JK guys!

Cheers,

Nigel

Great unplugged cover again, Geir! Very good version of the excellent tune. ...and in my ear this sounds very Swedish. Yes, those languages are very close to each other. Nice wrok, G!

Thank you for all the kind feedback !!

I'm really glad you liked it 'cause you're all musicians I respect and admire. 

I used a lot of time on this production both recording (well relative to what I usually do anyway) and in production. Tho a fairly simple arrangement the final mix consists of 11 tracks + drums, and I ran out of tracks two times during the recording/mixing process. I was quite pleased with the result even tho it ended up quite different from what I imagined when I started out.

Big thanks to Tim, Mike and James for letting me do this !!

you did ! Not 99 tho' .......

well .. I never posted the lyrics ... but for anyone who might be interested ... here they are:

Jeg veit om en liten damefugl
hu har fregner som sola bringer
hu fletter seg en blomsterkrans
på gravplassen i skumringen

så fly hjem min fugl
for huset ditt er i brann
... og kjærligheta er blåst

så fly hjem min fugl
for huset ditt er i brann
... og kjærligheta er blåst

kanskje jeg fanger deg i morra ....
kanskje jeg fanger deg i morra ....
kanskje jeg fanger deg


Jeg veit om en liten damefugl
hennes vinger kan ikke sees
men hu kan nå den høye sky
i Jemimas varme luftballong

så fly hjem min fugl
for huset ditt er i brann
... og kjærligheta er blåst

så fly hjem min fugl
for huset ditt er i brann
... og kjærligheta er blåst

kanskje jeg fanger deg i morra ....
kanskje jeg fanger deg i morra ....
kanskje jeg fanger deg
