Song Details and Information
Behind my upcoming album:
After releasing my first album I had a hard time finding myself again. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, and I was not even sure who I had been before.So, in early 2019 I started taking simple walks out in the Danish nature, bringing only my poetry-book and a pen. Every week I wrote lines somewhere in the Danish outdoors and this changed my perspective and taught me so much! Seriously, put down your thoughts – it changes you!
Putting my noisy ‘out of proportion’ feelings into simple phrasesand words suddenly made everything seem so simple. For every walk and line I wrote I posted a photo on Instagram to get feedback and find inspiration through my now 7000 followers who shows so much support. I guess a lot of people, just like me, need to re-think and go for a walk sometimes.
Over the last year or so, I then took a lot of my poetry-walk pages and turned them into music – this is where my album ‘Pocket Poetry’ came to life. An album consisting of songs from my walks, for other people to take along on their own walks when things need to change.
Behind the song (Our Rockets):
On one of my walks in my childhood town Vojens, close to the German border, I remembered my grandma Inger when she lost her husband Johan. I had never seen her cry and never seen anyone lose their loved ones. I saw for the first time that sometimes life will bring you so much sorrow that you might never snap out of it – but you might learn to live with it. Even though I never think my grandma got over losing my granddad, I think she learned to live with it. That was a life lesson for me and a huge inspiration for my song ‘Our Rockets’.
