In Our Tears

Music is to me a very strong way of chanelling emotions.
It´s a direct and naked way of expressing feelings that can't be communicated in any other way. Recently I lost a dear friend under tragic circumstances and writing this piece helped me out of my darkness. These personal feelings are captured here in this «requiem» over a lost friend, whose unique memory will live on in the hearts of everybody who knew him. The piece features the Irish choir Anuna, singing lyrics in reference to the traditional Latin Mass, written by the Norwegian author and Eyvind Skeie (minister in The Church of Norway).

Dona Nobis Pacem
Lyrics by Eyvind Skeie

Miserere nobis
Lacrimae meae panis
Dona nobis pacem
Meum cor contritum est.
Miserere nobis
Lucerna verbum tuum
Firmamentum meum.
Benedictus Dominus
Dona nobis pacem
Benedictus Dominus
