#altid nat

[mosraev]

Så er det nu, vi spinder gold af alt det der kan ske i drømmeland//It is now we weave gold of all that can happen in dreamland - Altid Nat (Mosræv, 2021)

This is a song I wrote in 2021 about finding it more and more alright to be physically close with others again due to the losening covid-19 restrictions and how wonderful that felt.

Recorded 08/21/23 - Pre-T - Lyrics (original and translated) under the line

Stay creative, my fellow foxes 🦊💚

Lyrics (original): Giv mig et klem i armen.

Fortæl mig det her er virkelighed.

Fordi jeg har tumlet alt for længe i ensomhedens tåge.

Sæt dig ved siden af mig.

Lad øjeblikket vare evigt.

Efter så lang tid alene,

Dit nærvær er sand magi.

Mens jordens trolde,

ja de danser foxtrot over Danmarks bøgetage.

Så er det nu, vi spinder guld af alt det

som der kan ske i drømmeland.

For det er altid nat et sted på verdensplan.

Kom og hold om mig.

Jeg har savnet dig i mine arme.

Det føles som tusinde år siden,

At vi sad helt så tæt.

Og jordens trolde,

ja de danser foxtrot over Danmarks bøgetage.

Så er det nu, vi spinder guld af alt det

som der kan ske i drømmeland.

For det er altid nat et sted på verdensplan.

Tiden går i stå, mens vi venter, venter

Venter på at vi kan sætte sejl

Mod fjerne horisonter hvor der venter, venter

Nye eventyr for du og jeg.

Du og jeg er ikke alene mere

Nu hvor verden har åbnet op.

Det er nu, vi spinder guld af alt det

som der kan ske i drømmeland.

Lyrics (translated to English):

Give my arm a little squeese

Tell me this is reality

Because I have stumbled too long in the mist of loneliness.

Sit down beside me

Let the moment last forever.

After being alone this long

Your presence is true magic.

While the trolls of the earth dance foxtrot in Denmark's treetops.

It is now we weave gold of all

that can happen in dreamland

cause it's always night somewhere in the world.

Come and hold me

I've missed you in my arms.

It feels like thousand years has gone

since we sat this close

And the troll of the earth dance foxtrot in Denmark's treetops.

It is now we weave gold of all

that can happen in dreamland

'cause it's always night somewhere in the world.

Time stops while we wait, wait

Wait upon setting sail

towards distant horisonts where we wait, wait

We wait for new adventures you and I

You and I are not alone anymore

Now the world is opening up

It is now we weave gold of all

that can happen in dreamland.

Lyrics through the decade 9/11

I've decided to collect all the songs I've made through the last decade and share my favourite snippets with you guys. The pictures for the backgrounds will (as much as possible) be pictures I've taken the same year as the lyrics were written. The full lyrics may or may not be made official someday.

Part 9; 2021

Now we've arrived at what I can call the personal era which started with me coming out to myself as nonbinary within the first three months of the year. After that a lot of the songs I started to make became a therapeutic tool getting to reflect over my thoughts and feelings about different topics.

More info under the line

Stay creative, my fellow foxes 🦊💚

Song 1 (pic1); Marco

This is not as much a song as it is 2-3 pages of me in lyrical form thinking through my newly out feelings as a nonbinary person. The 'song' is named after my middlename that on this time I believed would be my new name. Also, to fit with the very personal meaning of this song this is indeed a picture of me having gender euphoria looking in the mirror (although 9 months after the song was written)

Featured lyric:

Starring at the mirror softly repeating the name.

Trying to repeat the rush of joy hearing it for the first time.

Song2 (pic2); Aromantica

A song where I tried to reflect over my feelings as being an aromantic person since I also around this time has been coming to terms with being aro more and more (although I had come out to myself as aro one or two years prior).

Featured lyric:

((Extendend)) I held you and I kissed you

Because I thought that was what I had to.

And it’s funny how pathetic I was playing the part.

I’m not lovedrunk, I’m sober.

I realise that, now it’s over.

This is not who I am.

Song3 (pic 3+4); Altid Nat

This song is the exception to the rule I guess since it is less about my own personal identity explorations but again it is still about me and my feelings getting to be close to people with the loser covid-19 restrictions. You can hear the song here btw.

Featured lyric:

Original (pic3); Jordens trolde, de danser foxtrot over Danmarks bøgetage

((Extended)) så er det nu, vi sprinder guld af alt det som der kan ske i drømmeland.

For det er altid nat et sted på verdensplan.

Translated to English (pic4):

the trolls of the earth dance foxtrot in Denmark's treetops.

((Extended)) It is now we weave gold of all

that can happen in dreamland

cause it's always night somewhere in the world.

Song4 (pic5+6); Forstadsfabeldyr

This is an interesting one since I had less than a week to write and produce it on summer camp where I wasn't out yet so I wanted to make it somewhat mystical about what in the world I was referring to (thereby not outing myself before time) but also I really felt like getting out my hurt feelings about becoming the represent queer whenever people learned about my identity. (hint the swearing is back)

Featured lyric:

Original (pic6); Verden er så satans monokrom

for alle farverne er vasket ud med hvidt.

Translated to English (pic5); The world is fucking monochrome.

All the colours has been washed out.

Song5 (pic6+7); Glas v.2

Quite an interesting one that shows how my way of making songs has shifted since I originally made myself the challenge to make a song inspired by a poem on a playing card about rocks wanting to be glass and then the first version was meant to be about eating disorders (not told from my own pov) but that didn't connect with me so instead I told about nonbinary gender dysphoria (that is way more my own pov and so a therapeutic song instead)

Featured lyric:

Original (pic7): Når svaret for dem er hverken "han" eller "hende"

kommer de nemt til kort.

De ville så gerne kunne passe ind,

men kabalen går ikke op.

Translated to English (pic8): When their answer is not "he" or "she",

they'll easily come up short.

they'd love to fit in, but

the patience doesn't come up.
