1.	Sunrise 04:23	lyrics	buy track
you warm me up when the world gets cold with words that don't get old when nothing's being said they echo in my head moments hidden in routine nicer than they seem when you look at me with eyes blue as the sea sunrise it always feels like sunrise sunrise when you're around sunrise it always feels like sunrise sunrise when you're around in my own way I always knew I belonged with you ready for the memories of what was yet to be sunrise it always feels like sunrise sunrise when you're around sunrise it always feels like sunrise sunrise when you're around your silhouette against the sun burnt into my memory I knew you'd always be the one walking next to me sunrise it always feels like sunrise sunrise when you're around sunrise it always feels like sunrise sunrise when you're around
2.	Queen Bee 03:27	lyrics	buy track
our flag is his coat as he marches down the middle of the road we slowly walk behind him as we try to understand this game towards the sun this fight has only just begun there ain’t many things he wouldn’t do for this place somewhere in between the trees where the grass is green lives a man with his queen somewhere in between the trees in a world that no one sees he’s growing his own army of bees moving too fast for the magic to last on his watch the world moves a different pace we all have space his anchor went down kept his boots on the ground unaffected by the race taking place all around somewhere in between the trees where the grass is green lives a man with his queen somewhere in between the trees in a world that no one sees he’s growing his own army of bees he came from far away outside everyday and his rooster thinks it’s morning all the time tobacco in the air whenever he is near and I’m not sure if the dog is his or mine somewhere in between the trees where the grass is green lives a man with his queen somewhere in between the trees in a world that no one sees he’s growing his own army of bees

In a house by the bend in the road lives such a lucky boy he loves to let it show no matter heads or tales seems like the wind is always in his sails He’s got a four-leaved clover tattooed on his arm I guess someone like him doesn’t really need a lucky charm they say it can’t be true it never happens here like it does with you hey maybe you could share some of this with me ooh and I could be lucky I could be lucky Jimmy just like you many think they know he´s made the devils deal and none of this is real when he rolls the dice you can see by his grin he knows he’s gonna win he’s got a four-leaved clover tattooed on his arm I guess someone like him doesn’t really need a lucky charm they say it can’t be true it never happens here like it does with you hey maybe you could share some of this with me ooh and I could be lucky I could be lucky Jimmy just like you ooh I guess you were born under a lucky star ooh that can only ever only ever take you so far hey maybe you could share some of this with me ooh and I could be lucky I could be lucky Jimmy just like you
4.	Home 03:04	lyrics	buy track
They talk and smile but I can’t hear I nod along just in case in my head I’m nowhere near I’m in a better place I feel small I hide a tear followed by this cloud I know I need to stay here sad and lonely in this crowd I paint your letter on my wall right there and then remember it all I’m far away and all alone I wanna go home, I wanna go home normal seems so nice when no one knows you I miss the calmness in your eyes here everything’s too new I paint your letter on my wall right there and then remember it all I’m far away and all alone I wanna go home, I wanna go home mountains and lakes on the way are hours and minutes to me the sky is a paler grey as I move closer to where I wanna be closer to where I wanna be I paint your letter on my wall right there and then remember it all I’m far away and all alone I wanna go home I paint your letter on my wall right there and then remember it all I’m far away and all alone I wanna go home I wanna go home

If I only had tomorrow today I’d look for you if I only had tomorrow yes that’s what I would do and I’d hold you closer than I ever have before like I told you I have never wished for more if I only had tomorrow I’d make you understand if I only had tomorrow I would hold on to your hand I would show you all the things you wanted to see and I know you’d save some little treasures just for me when they turn out the lights for the day our blanket of memories will keep me safe and if I ever have lost my way our blanket of memories will keep me safe if I only had a moment I wouldn’t see the clouds if I only had a moment I would speak of love out loud and I’d tell you all the things I should have said before then I’d tell you once again just to be sure when they turn out the lights for the day our blanket of memories will keep me safe and if I ever have lost my way our blanket of memories will keep me safe I will miss you more than words ever can explain the way you kissed me used to work to take away the pain with my eyes closed sometimes I can almost feel you here when the wind blows I hear your softest whisper in my ear
7.	Empty Eyes 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Scared and I’m cold drenched in the lies you told with your empty eyes you’ve got empty eyes, empty eyes I’m happy I’m angry I laugh then I shout I’m learning how to cope melted the hurt from the inside and out left standing in a puddle of hope don’t come up here for me I took what’s left of us and I threw it to the sea tired and I’m sad thinking back to days we had before you lost your way I’m happy I’m angry I laugh then I shout I’m learning how to cope melted the hurt from the inside and out left standing in a puddle of hope don’t come up here for me I took what’s left of us and I threw it to the sea you’ve got empty eyes, empty eyes
8.	Little Light 03:12	lyrics	buy track
Hush falls over the night you won’t find me sleeping there’s a little light in my heart for safekeeping cold feet on the floor all feels so exciting creaking of the door right where I was hiding I did what I did and I saw what I saw remember the feel and the scent and so much more so much more laughter fills the hall ticking clock beside me right behind that door is the place where I should be I did what I did and I saw what I saw remember the feel and the scent and so much more so much more I did what I did and I saw what I saw remember the feel and the scent and so much more so much more remember it all
9.	Pop Song 02:59	lyrics	buy track
People often ask me why I don’t write a song about the nights without you being cold and long how I loose track of time just looking in your eyes gazing at the stars telling pretty lies I can put it in a pop song if you like but what I feel about you doesn’t rhyme I’d spell it out with roses at your feet is that really something that we need should I call you baby when you’re feeling down waiting by the phone when you’re not around I can tell the whole world what I know make everybody see but it wouldn’t change a thing for you and me I can put it in a pop song if you like but what I feel about you doesn’t rhyme I’d spell it out with roses at your feet is that really something that we need
10.	Never Needed You 04:04	lyrics	buy track
The air feels heavy I can’t breath in here a long long time ago liked having you near me but now I’m big and sometimes even strong I’m strong enough to see that you were wrong I never needed you, needed you with me the echo of your voice still in my head I try my best forgetting what you said I’ve heard so many truer things since then from braver and better men I never needed you, needed you with me it’s time to shake the shadows of you from over my head these shoulders aren’t strong enough for two it’s time to shake the shadows of you from over my head so many things I wish I could undo you had this power everyone could see they didn’t know you stole it all from me I’ve seen you try to get by on your own haunted by the chances you have blown ‘cause you needed me needed me with you it’s time to shake the shadows of you from over my head these shoulders aren’t strong enough for two it’s time to shake the shadows of you from over my head so many things I wish I could undo
11.	I Miss The Rain 02:52	lyrics	buy track
I miss the rain I miss the rain so I stay indoors all day I miss the rain, I miss the rain the skies are blue there's no reason to complain but all the same I miss the rain we've had seven days of summer I've been counting it's the kind of weather nobody could hate everywhere around me people smiling I'm the only one who's looking for the shade I should be happy I should be happy I should be happy I should be happy but I miss the rain I miss the rain so I stay indoors all day I miss the rain, I miss the rain the skies are blue there's no reason to complain but all the same I miss the rain where did you go there are no cloud's above me I squint my eyes the world just seems too bright I should be happy I should be happy I should be happy I should be happy but I miss the rain I miss the rain so I stay indoors all day I miss the rain, I miss the rain the skies are blue there's no reason to complain but all the same wash my sins away

about

Hafdis Huld is an Icelandic singer with a growing international reputation thanks to her breathtaking voice and unique songs full of vivid imagery and catchy hooks. Born in Reykjavik, Iceland, Hafdis has been heavily involved with music since the age of 15. After starting her career with two world tours as a member of iconic Icelandic eletro-collective Gus Gus, Hafdis has since been collaborating with numerous musicians, and has released several solo albums of her own quirky take on pop and folk music.

Hafdis Huld returns this spring with her first original album in four years and her third solo album of original songs, “Home.” Appropriately titled, the entrancing new album was written and recorded entirely in her picturesque wooden house located in the Icelandic mountains near Reykjavik. “Home” features beautifully stripped down production with a simplicity and directness that helps to showcase Hafdis’s pure and assured vocals to perfection. Written with an array of highly respected international songwriters, “Home” is a superlative collection of Hafdis’s trademark songwriting skills that her worldwide fans have come to expect with deceptively simple songs with a hidden darker undertone.
