Geir....

This is amongst the very best songs I've ever heard on Songcrafters. It's a piece of fragile perfection. I am absolutely stunned by how amazing and moving this song is. Maybe you can't hear it yet. I don't understand why you were unsure whether to post it, because this will be universally recieved as total frigging genius by anybody who hears it. And not just on here. You need to get an album out, with this as the jewel in an already brilliant crown. I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do.

Stunning!  Beautiful lyrics and melody.  Amazing control singing falsetto. Hard to believe you're the same guy that just covered Cohen's Hallelujah. Very naked indeed, nowhere to hide but you pull it off.  I could see this having been written and performed by the likes of Paul McCartney.  What are the chords?  It would also be interesting to hear a female vocalist cover this.

what he said about what he said.  I am full of light and wonder listening to this.  This is a display of your full power as a songwriter and performer.  Step up to the stage Geir, its time to accept your award.
