Rice, now as therapy...
Have you ever felt how music can help us when there is no sunshine in the mind?
I myself have experienced it many times in my life that a song, the notes and the lyrics, individually or in combination, can make my mind brighter and lighter. I almost have a whole library of music that can help me when I can’t change the chip myself. Studies also show time and time again that music therapy has a great impact on both body and psyche, so there is really something to talk about.
In my almost 18 years as a singer/songwriter, I have often experienced that my audience has told me how my songs, lyrics and even my voice have a positive effect on them. That many people use my music in their lives to overcome the difficult, to find peace and joy. It is a very big and really fantastic difference to be able to make for another person, and all these confessions together with a time of pandemic and war where I think we all needed it, I have decided that my 7. album should be full of music that can affect you positively and make people happy. So far it has resulted in the singles “Cheesy”, “Yes To It All” and “We Can Be Heroes”.
My new summer single “Cloudless” is a direct response to this. I have a strong feeling of wanting to be the one to remove the clouds in the sky and turn on the sun in your mind. After experiencing both how I can do it for my audience, but also for those close to me when they encounter the difficult sides of the mind, I have gained a renewed desire for, and not least a sense of duty towards, writing, producing and publishing positive songs. To really ‘be there’ for those who need me.
“Let me check back in with you, clear your sky and leave it blue…”
With “Cloudless”, I think that Christoffer Stjerne, Tina Harris and I have come up with a light, playful, happy, summery and roll-the-roof-off kind of atmosphere that can accompany the mind through the summer. Dance on the good, cloudless days, listen and sing along on the cloudy ones.
I always tell my live audience that once I’ve sung a song for them, it’s theirs. They get to keep it and use it however they want. Here is “Cloudless” and if you need it, take it. Turn it up, dance, smile and forget what’s weighing you down for a while.
