Honey 06:08 video
honey I’m blown away I heard your voice again today light and clear with so much to say honey I remember you I wish I could go back in time to when you’re eighteen and in the line of fire nothing you do will ever let me down and you’ll repeat your mistakes many times but I will be keeping my eye on you ’cause I know how things will come back to haunt you I can promise you will make it through and I know that ’cause I am you honey I can see you getting caught in growing pains honey I wish I could reinvent you but honey there’s nothing to do but walk the same path together one step follows the other

don’t run and hide take a peek outside I’m here for you don’t run and hide take a look outside I’m here for you I hear you roaming in the night you can’t let go you are caught behind a wall of noise you used to smile but now it’s hurting feels like icicles on your chin don’t you know all the times we’ve talked about this now we’ve talked about it over and over and over and over don’t run and hide take a peek outside I’m here for you don’t run and hide take a look outside I’m here for you fear is a choice a lonely exile it’s a cloud dimming the landing lights when you find yourself between reality and dreams accept and breathe over and over and over and over let it go let it go and I’ll catch you it is time now don’t hide now I’m here for you

I keep feeling like I wanna cry this world is burning in my eyes I try to aim for the light but when I look up it’s still dark I keep feeling like I wanna cry all this beauty to be sacrificed a shadow’s cast by us our minds are covered in dust I wanna hold out my hand offer everything I am can we form a chain get us all back on track again I keep feeling like I wanna cry we’re waiting for the seasonal tide will it arrive this year will the leaves turn brown
6.
my existence is screaming it’s a physical feeling of missing out on dance and light on electricity in my hands on circumstance a scent-filled trance I wanna take to the skies this leaves me so heavy I’m captured by gravity and the weight of expectations genes and generations calling my name Take hold of me keep this energy steady sometimes it is hard to know what is fading you measure all that you are the density of being so you open all the gates walk on all the way trusting the answers will lie there waiting Take hold of me keep this energy steady

I feel rage because of what I see It’s breaking down my illusions of humanity we must align our polarising minds I am offended by a lack of human decency we need a mother we need a father we need a Moses to separate the waters we need our sisters we need our brothers we need each other to lead us over It’s up to us we can dig deeper until the truth unfolds there’s so many tunnels so many holes and it sure is very challenging to keep believing when your faith is turning into rage so we create our own life fantasy we feel entitled to be the ones who gets it all for free how do we move from this have we even got the tools for this does it help to pretend to fake incomprehension we can trick the system to keep the frontlines distant is disillusionment the final segment of our brilliance how do we turn from this dead end will we catch the rope at the very last second

about

AFTER THE GREAT STORM finds Brun in questing mode, her crystal-clear, affecting voice haunted by electronic and analogue textures. The emotionally charged ‘Don’t Run And Hide’ and ‘Honey’’s laidback, soulful grooves reflect Brun’s love of trip hop while acknowledging contemporary acts including SiR, Kendrick Lamar, Anderson Paak and Solange, and ‘Take Hold Of Me’ nods to The Knife’s ‘Silent Shout’. Jennie Abrahamson and Linnea Olsson also guest on ‘Crumbs’, before ‘We Need A Mother’ closes the album in mournful but optimistic style.

“Both albums deal with the bigger questions in life,” says Brun, “but in 2020 these questions have become even bigger. Even though I wrote most of them before this whole pandemic started, I feel they all have a message that fits the situation we’re in…”

AFTER THE GREAT STORM is Brun’s eighth album, mostly written in the Norwegian mountains during summer 2019. It was largely recorded at Stockholm’s Atlantis Studios and Studio Bruket, home to Tonbruket and the studio where musician and co-producer Martin Hederos – who also co-wrote a number of songs – and Studio Bruket’s own house sound technician Anton Sundell reside. Hederos and Sundell co-produced with Brun, and others present include Tonbruket’s Johan Lindström and Dan Berglund, bassist Felisia Westberg, Per Eklund (who drums on the album and co-produced ´We Need a Mother´) and Samuel Starck (who created many of the signature synth sounds and co-produced ‘Take Hold of Me’), as well as five further drummers.
