This is not the Himalayas it’s just a hilltop so
please don’t stop just because we’re confused and lost
we are through the rough
At least that’s what I thought
At least that’s what I thought
Behind us there is an old and dusty road
So come on now let’s pretend we’re still in love
We are now
Now is the time for us to shine
Stars lit a-bright
When all the other lights are out
This is not the Himalayas
We’re still here safe and sound
There’s no such thing like
what you’re afraid of
what keeps you awake at night
At least that’s what I thought
At least that’s what I thought
Behind us there is an old and dusty road
So come on now let’s pretend we’re still in love
We are now
Now is the time for us to shine
Stars lit a-bright
When all the other lights are out
We are now
Now is the time for us to shine
Stars lit a-bright
When all the other lights are out

City on my Side

If I run away with you tonight
And leave all this far behind
The little things I know for sure
Won´t matter no not anymore, because
Baby don’t you know
The City’s on my side
Baby don’t you know
The City’s on my side
I would join you if I could
But there’s some things you never understood
There are mountain here tall and wide
Concrete blocks reaching for the sky
Baby don’t you know
The City’s on our side
Baby please don’t go
The City’s on our side
We are in no way all right now
Turn around, you won’t be sorry if you
You won’t be! You won’t be!

Hiding in plain sight
Away from these prying eyes
Hiding in plain sight
Lord I know it ain’t right
Afraid to run out the open door
Can I fly where the lovebirds soar
When are the stars supposed to align
I’m still waiting here for a sign
So I wait and I wait some more
For the one that I was meant for
If I eventually try to take flight
I think I’m in for a nose dive
Seasons they come and go
Buy yourself some time
And leave me far behind
Save yourself some time
Lord, I know it ain’t right
Afraid to run out the open door
Can I fly where the lovebirds soar
When are the stars supposed to align
I’m still waiting here for a sign
So I wait and I wait some more
For the one that I was meant for
If I eventually try to take flight
I think I’m in for a nose dive
Seasons they come and go

Autumnism

Can you feel it drawing near
It’s that certain scent you caught in the air
We keep locked doors and we keep locked hearts
Awaiting the dark that pushes us further down the stairs and
into harm
It’s a special kind of love
It’s not the kind that comes easy for all
It’s a special kind of love
And I’ll admit I like the autumn a lot
It’s almost like it never was
(It’s almost like it never was at all)
The perfect summer only exist in our thoughts
(It only existed in our thoughts)
No you’ll never hear me complain
(No you’ll never hear me complain)
About the fall ‘cause I expect it will rain
(It will rain, it will rain)
It’s a special kind of love
It’s not the kind that comes easy for all
It’s a special kind of love
And I’ll admit I like the autumn a lot

Wedding Singer

Show some concern for the wedding singer
Show some concern for him
If you think he comes across as bitter
There are reasons for that
He wasted it all on a girl who once listened
Now every bride he sings for reminds him of her
As he stumbles and falls to the ground
he falls to the ground like the leaves in autumn
When he he picks himself up
the few drunken words he mouths and mumbles
are filled to the brim with venom and bile
and we know from where it’s all coming
It’s a sad, sad, sad scene to behold
Show some concern for the wedding singer
Show some concern for him
Clap when he’s done, hold your abuse and
nevermind if he got the words all wrong
As he stumbles and falls to ground
He falls to the ground like the leaves in autumn
When he picks himself up
the few drunken words he mouths and mumbles
are filled to the brim with venom and bile
and we know from where it’s all coming
It’s a sad sad sad scene to behold
But we should have just let him stay at home
It’s a sad sad sad scene to behold
The bridesmaids scream and shout
The secret is out, the secret is out

Michael Sollien Oslo, Norway
I love music and my head is constantly filled with melodies. This can get annoying and downright dangerous, so I play music
to get rid of them.
Besides playing in Firetop Mountain I do solo stuff. When I do everything myself there are no boundaries. I don´t need to scale down to make songs possible to re-create live. It´s a both a playground and a wilderness for me.
