nordic soul

I think I am one, or have one ... a nordic soul ...

Iceland, Scandinavia, Scotland ... I'd rather go there before I'd book a flight to the Maledives ;-) ....

 

True North ♥

 

Location: Dyrhólaey

 

Listen: true north - Tina Dico with the Danish National Chamber Orchestra

 

they say it's a cold place, icy and grey

with a wind that cuts through marrow and bone

 

I've heard the earth cracks open wide

before your eyes and might swallow you whole

 

they say you can get lost for days

in landscapes of big emotions

 

in the endless night when the sun doesn't care

to crawl out of bed behind the oceans

 

we never learned to use a compass

we never learned to read these maps

we always yearned for far-off countries

we never found a straight way back

and it's a miracle, a miracle

we found true north, true north

 

they say it's an old place with ancient tales and

of violence and war, passion and soul

 

but I've seen the West bleed into the East

like a slow breeze blowing ripples of hope

 

and I know I could get lost for life

inside these stories I've heard

 

'cause it all just shows that what we know

is just the tip, the tip, the tip of the iceberg

 

we never learned to use a compass

we never learned to read these maps

we always yearned for far-off countries

we never found a straight way back

and it's a miracle, a miracle

we found true north, true north

 

they say it's a cold place, icy and grey

with a wind that cuts through marrow and bone

but he's my true north my soul, my way, my anchor... and my new home
