Transfixed 06:10
Old-fashioned paintings with glamorous strokes Wide-eyed lunatics that breathe through smoke Attractive men that holds the door Delightful wines that make you want more All this to impress people transfixed about their success All this to impress Small talk parades in big blue dresses Short haircuts in large round houses Exclusive cars for them that deserves The queen of answers don’t make a change All this to impress people transfixed about their success All this to impress I’m looking for sweet apples without worms Material goods for excellent terms I will not dwell on these cold feet dead men I must be the one that I am Business men forever loners Small, groomed dogs with their large owners Blonde pretty dames with damaged hair And high-piched violins that cut through the air All this to impress people transfixed about their success All this to impress I’m looking for sweet apples without worms Material goods for excellent terms I’m looking for sweet apples without worms Material goods for excellent terms I will not dwell on these cold feet dead men I must be the one that I am All this to impress people transfixed about their success

I was playing your song all day long Forgot to listen to my own I lost myself into a deep, deep well Only you on my mind it rang no bell – to me, but what could I see I must stop before I disappear in a well with you everywhere With walls that getting taller and taller and I’m getting smaller Honey, you gotta know I’m not used to be me on my own Please let me now How I need you and why you let me go Before I disappear They say time can heal it all I sure hope so, cause i’m feeling small You know who you are I don’t anymore Please Forgive me for messing up Honey, you gotta know I’m not used to be me on my own Please let me now How I need you and why you let me go Before I disappear Honey, you gotta know I’m not used to be me on my own Please let me now How I need you and why you let me go Before I disappear

The sun interrupting my dreams about curtains with featherlike shadows through the crystals of yesterday I stare out the window for a while then I go back to bed hoping the rain will wash the dusty street of this lonely avenue When I were there I couldn’t wait to be here When I arrived I couldn’t wait to be back again On this lonely, lonely avenue It’s a game you see - I see it that way Longing for something you just can’t tell It’s the fuel that makes us go all the way We are the street ants Carrying ourselves down down this lonely, down this lonely, down this lonely, down this lonely avenue Lonely, lonely avenue Lonely, lonely avenue Lonely, lonely avenue Lonely, lonely avenue We are the street ants Carryings ourselves down I couldn’t wait to be back again On this lonely, lonely avenue Down this lonely avenue

A bird flew over me as I was watching the clouds up above I had burned my map and all it’s notes for directions and where to go Oh, lark in the sky teach me how to fly How do you know what to do? How do you know where to fly? It’s not easy when you burn all your bridges It’s not easy when you’re new in this town It’s not easy when they dont need you But it’s easy to watch the birds when they fly It’s not easy - Oh, lark in the sky teach me how to fly How do you know what to do? How do you know where to fly? It’s not so easy when you lose your directions It’s not easy when there is no one around It’s not easy when he don’t want you But it’s easy to watch the birds when they fly Oh, lark in the sky teach me how to fly How do you know what to do? How do, do, do, do, do, do you know where to fly?

I don’t feel the urge anymore to tell about the things that happened lately I don’t need it around anymore the presence of it being near or to live my life on your terms Don’t take this for granted No, no, no I’ll find a new face Someone who likes my silly word games and my fantasies He have done everything seen it all and the crowd i play for are for him too small He do his best to impress with stories that i can’t surpass I answer back inviting to a world of words in world class So, now I step into uncharted territory Now I step into uncharted territory I no longer need you I know I got my feet on solid ground I hope the arrow strikes you When I’m someone he wants to be I’m someone he wants to be around

I dare myself to write a book, to show my naked heart I’ll dig myself down in the sand, until the work is done I’ll change my mind from time to time, when dirt get in my eyes It’s so hard for me to start To write lines about by heart Now rumor says I’m a seeking soul I’ll shake it off and try to see what’s in this for me When my book is done The weight of all unfinished thoughts, they make me start to doubt I’m looking for a hand to hold Or I’ll drown all of my thoughts I’ll change my mind from time to time Just shake it of and try again And when i start to doubt my trail of thoughts I’ll turn the other way I’ll dig my head deep in the ground where dirt gets in my eyes and when my book is done I’ll start again

I was walking down my street when I saw him I’ve seen him so many times before Now I see it clearly he looks just like you It makes me think about the starry nights and the walks in the parks and the hot summer breeze through my hair Why do I think about you being near When there is so many people out there Friends I’ve collected that don’t make me blue But all I can think of is you Now that I see him I get so blue Now that I see him I see you Now that I see him I get so blue Now that I see him I get so blue Now that I see him he reminds me of you Now that I see him I see you

about

Siril Malmedal Hauge's Jazzland debut, "Uncharted Territory" is a perfect blend of pop energy and accessibility with jazz, rock, Americana and singer-songwriter sensibilities, bursting with melodic freshness. Featuring Siril's beautiful, clear and expressive voice, the songs balance commercial exuberance with intelligence, both musically and lyrically. Themes both weighty and feather-light are given the appropriate treatments and settings. The moods are many, with variations of light and shade, but a sense of positivity glistens from every song. The instrumentation is broadly that of a classic rock ensemble, with relaxed but skilful playing and an old-school vibe to the recording process that eliminates the digitally quantized dehumanizing aspects of so many releases this past number of years. Consequently, the resulting album is an organic musical entity, with every song, every phrase, and every note as alive as it should be.

Siril's band features some of the most exciting new musical talent in Norway today: Martin Myhre Olsen (MMO Ensemble; Wako; Megalodon Collective) on saxophone, Torgeir Hovden Standal (The Jist) on guitar, Kjetil André Mulelid (Kjetil Mulelid Trio; Wako; Kjemilie; MMO Ensemble) on piano and organ, Martin Morland (Masåva) on bass, and Henrik Lødøen (Megalodon Collective; Rohey) on drums. Their playing is soulful, focussed and attentive, and a perfect antidote to corporate treadmill productions that are pumped out of the one-trick-pony machine that dominates the mainstream. "Uncharted Territory" is a perfect album to soundtrack the watch for signs of spring.
