about
‘alt annað enn vanligt’ (meaning: everything but normal) is a brand new single as good as made for these crazy times the world has gone through since the beginning of 2020. In the lyrics, 21 year old singer and songwriter, Dania O. Tausen, is reflecting on many of the different feelings in our bodies, that can seem frustrating and hard. For example the feeling of waiting for sickness,
the feeling of losing your fantasy, the feeling of boredom. But inspired by the Ecclesiastes 11:7, that says: “Light is sweet, and it pleases the eyes to see the sun”, she chooses to turn the entire mess into a prayer of thankfulness and to find comfort in the warmth that shows its face every once in a while.
The song is recorded at Benjamin D. Djurhuus’ home studio. Benjamin is Dania’s 19 year old cousin and definitely an up and coming musician and producer in the Faroe Islands. Benjamin played all instruments and produced the song while Hans Poulsen mixed and mastered it at IntroVers studio.

Lyrics
Eg hugsi ein tanka
og hann er alt annað enn penur.
Eg vóni at eingin
fer at vænta meir av mær í dag.
Ein gráhærdur maður
lesur dimmu og keðist innan í mær
og barnið, eg einaferð kendi
er vilst og farið úr skónum,
rennur runt við brotnum vónum,
finnir ikki heim til tankarnar hjá mær.
Men ljósið er sött,
og tað fevnir um mítt andlit.
Og sólin er góð
tá alt tykist alt annað enn vanligt
sum í dag.
Mítt hugflog er sum storknaðar sápur
og eg undrist nær eg eisini
verið sjúk, sum öll onnur.
Ein fluga larmar inni í oyranum hjá mær
og eg skilji bara löturnar
tá tær eru farnar frá mær.
So eg takki fyri larmin,
takki fyri kvalmu og hvínið frá gafflum
Eg takki fyri möði,
takki fyri lága stöðið hjá mær.
Tí tað víkir til viks
tá tú reisir meg upp,
heldur mær tætt,
vísir mær veg
til har sum alt er,
alt er alt annað enn vanligt.
Og ljósið er sött
og tað fevnir um mítt andlit.
Og sólin er góð
tá alt tykist alt annað enn vanligt.
Ja, ljósið er sött
og tað fevnir um mítt andlit.
Og sólin er góð
tá alt tykist alt annað enn vanligt
sum í dag.
