Epidemi

Fjorten grader
Grensa er stengt
Leter grundig
Etter ord som er gjemt

Ingenting
Eller bare støy
Smitte-budsjett
Og stats-vern æ’kke gøy

Epidemi… O-oh…
Epidemi…

Fire franske friller
Hadde kongen en gang
Nå sitter’n helt alene
Og må dikte på sin sang

Etter U2
Ble det #Metoo
Du og jeg og vi to
Snubla i en tresko

Epidemi… O-oh…
Epidemi… La-la-la-la…

Du skal gjøre mot din neste
Slik at jeg får det meste
Det er til det beste
For de fleste
Rottefest – Plastikkpest – Pengegest – Oljerest

Jeg vet ikke mer
Jeg bare reflekterer
Det jeg ser
Og det jeg observerer

Epidemi… O-oh…
Epidemi… La-la-la-la…


Transelated version:

Epidemic

Fourteen degrees
The borders are closed
Looking thoroughly
After words that are hidden

Nothing…
Or just noise
Infection budgets
And state protection ain’t fun

Epidemic… O-oh…
Epidemic…

Four French concubines
The king once had
Now he’s left all by himself
To compose his song

After U2
It became #Metoo
You and I and the two of us
Stumble into a clog

Epidemic… O-oh…
Epidemic… La-la-la-la…

You must do against your neighbor
So I get most of it
That's for the best
For the Plebs

Rat party - Plastic plague - Money gesture - Oil residue

I really don’t know
I'm just reflecting
What I see
And what I observe

Epidemic… O-oh…
Epidemic… La-la-la-la…

I enjoyed it!

A bit "noisier" than most music I listen to, but lots of interesting things to hear, and a catchy chorus.

Very cool music!!! Wish I spoke German! Really fantastic sounding production! TOP notch!! Take care. Greg

I'm not sure of the purpose the snort at the beginning serves except to be a preview of the snort/sweep/glass sound in the verse (which is too loud to be honest), or to suggest symptoms of the disease.
Other than that it's pretty cool.

Einar,

A very cool sound to the overall track. There is a lot of interesting additions along the way to keep the listener engaged.

I thought the vocals (which are nice!) were just slightly lower than they should be - a little "buried at times". The claps have a "bright tail" that overshadows things at time. And the guitar tabs at the end were a bit "bright and loud" (just a little). I thought it might be my monitors, so I also check it using earbuds.

Overall, I enjoyed it (and your journey).

I really enjoyed this one. Nice effects, tempo, and sound changes. I do think that the vocal should be more up front in this one. Sometimes it is very hard to hear.

Thanks for listening, David!
It is a "noisy" subject I have tried to make a soundtrack to…

Thanks, Greg, for your kind words!
Try Norwegian ;-)

Thanks for paying attention to the details, rayc!
The snort was not meant to be there, but a song needs a starting point. One of my all-time favourites is the opening snare on Every Breath You Take by The Police. So I kept it for a rhythmic purpose – but yes, the song is about the pandemic situation…

Thanks, Floyd!
Still working on the mix. This song is a tough one because of all the "noise". How to mix it and make it sound good. I fully agree with the vocals and the snare/handclaps on the chorus. It's a science how to "glue" it all together. Sometimes I wish I was mixing a power trio, not a computerized monster. Still, BiaB gives me a great option to choose and try different ideas.

I'll keep you updated on the final version.

Thanks, Mario!
I do agree about the vocal tracks – still working on the final mix. The words do matter to me!

Very active song.
Lots going on there.

Overall mixed well just a few things poking out a bit but, could just be personal taste.
