Presenting Northern Lites entries in EPP2013
1. Song - A Room In A City, By- Linnea Dale, Representing - Norway, Sponsor - Roger
Born in April 1991, Linnea Dale first stumbled to fame in the 2007 edition of Norwegian Idol, where she ended an unspectacular 7th. Her major breakthrough came in 2009 as guest vocalist on Donkeyboy's hit Ambitions - the only song in Norway that year to outsell Alexander Rybak's Fairytale. She released two EPs and her debut album, Lemoyne Street, in 2012, while EPP entry A Room In A City is the lead single from a possible second album. The song's video features a naked man.
A Room In A City
Pictures from the past
The sound of a train
You're dancing in the dark
Sitting in our place
Eating dinner, drinking beer
And smoking in the park
Love me less, then I'll love you more
Hear the noise from the city
It's a dance that we danced before
In a room in a city by the sea
Decisive moment all in black and white
See your reflection in the ambient light
Black and white, you and me
In a room in a city by the sea
The photos try to catch
The light and the laughter
While the concrete washed away
Hiding between sheets
Curtains moving with the air
And night turning into day
Love me less, then I'll love you more
Hear the noise from the city
It's a dance that we danced before
In a room in a city by the sea
Decisive moment all in black and white
See your reflection in the ambient light
Black and white, you and me
In a room in a city by the sea
Talking across each other
We've been here for days now
The clock is ticking slowly
And for every hour we get closer
Decisive moment all in black and white
See your reflection in the ambient light
Black and white, you and me
In a room in a city by the sea

Vien (neguli neguli)
Alone (don’t sleep don’t sleep)
Vienpadsmit vientulīgu sienu
Ap mani vienu - netraucē
Es zinu dusmoties - neklauvē
Tāpat es neatvēršu
Vienpadsmit vientulīgu domu
Katru brīdi apstājoties nerunā
Tu mani neārstēsi - netiesā
Tu nepazīsti
Neguli, neguli maldu guns ir tavs miers Un tavs bastīlīna dievs
Tevi locīs - izgreznos
Apvārdos
Vienpadsmit vientulīgu dienu
Ar visu dienu iet caur manu miesu
Tā mana nebeidzamā tiesa
Par neapdomību
Vienpadsmit vientulīgu sienu
Ap mani vienu nerunā
Tu mani neārstēsi - netiesā
Tu nepazīsti
Neguli, neguli maldu guns ir tavs miers Un tavs bastīlīna dievs
Tevi locīs - izgreznos
Un citvārdos
Neguli, neguli maldu guns ir tavs miers Un tavs bastīlīna dievs
Tevi locīs - izgreznos
Apvārdos
Neguli, neguli maldu guns ir tavs miers
Eleven lonely walls
Around me alone - don't disturb
I know there is anger - don't knock
I won't open
Eleven lonely thoughts
Every time I don't speaks
You shall not cure me - don't judge
you don't know me
Don't sleep, don't sleep, will-o’-the-wisp is your peace
And your bastion God
Will fold you - nicely
Enchanting
Eleven lonely days
With a whole day to going through my body
It's my never-ending court
For the imprudence
Eleven lonely walls
Nobody around me speaks
You shall not cure me - don't judge
you don't know me
Don't sleep, don't sleep, will-o’-the-wisp is your peace
And your bastion God
Will fold you - nicely
and will put spell
Don't sleep, don't sleep, illusion guns is your peace
And your bastion God
Will fold you - nicely
Enchanting
Don't sleep, don't sleep, will-o’-the-wisp is your peace
