Livets Sang

by Emma Cairo

/

about

My inspiration for this song is multilayered: Marguerite Viby inspired my singing style in the verses. She was the biggest danish movie star in the 1900’s, always playing the happy go lucky type. Sebastian - my favorite singer/songwriter inspired the song - because I wrote it as a duet in mind with him. The passing of my father & all the others we’ve lost, to the mystery that is death, inspired the lyrics. My hope is that when more consider death on a daily basis, they will live more fully and won't wait to do the thing that they burn for.
The song is in a 432 hz tuning and it's called ”Livets Dans” - Dance of Life – and it is an ode to this old Scandinavian song style, to life and death and the magic within a lifespan that we today are completely oblivious to with our ”smart” phones and busy lifes.

lyrics

Bm
Livets dans
G
Sang og leg
Bm
Har jeg dig
G
Har du mig
Bm
Solen går
G
Over os
Bm
Hvad vi når
G
Er hvad vi sår


E C#m
Men trolden han lurer i skyggen
E C#m
Det skurer og tværer i lykken
Bm
Vi hører hans stemme
Em C#m Bm
Som en løkke der klemmer

Bm
Hvad skal det til for?
Em C#m
Mørket vinder over solen
C#m Em C#m
Skumringen æder hver dag
C#m E-m F#-m B-m
Døden får I jer sit tag

Bm
Livets sang
G
Hjerteklang
Bm
To på vej
G
I samme gang
Bm
Solen går
G
Intet står
Bm
Hvad vi når
G
Er hvad vi sår


E C#m
Men trolden han lurer i skyggen
E C#m
Det skurer og tværer i lykken
Bm
Vi hører hans stemme
Em C#m Bm
Som en løkke der klemmer

Bm
Hvad skal det til for?
Em C#m
Mørket vinder over solen
C#mr Em C#m
Skumringen æder hver dag
C#m E-m F#-m B-m
Døden får I jer sit tag

E C#m
Og trolden han lurer i skyggen
E C#m
Det tværer og skurer i lykken
Bm
Vi hører hans stemme
Em C#m Bm
Som en løkke der klemmer

Bm
Hvad skal det til for?
Em C#m
Mørket vinder over solen
C#mr Em C#m
Skumringen æder hver dag
C#m E-m F#-m B-m
Døden får I jer sit tag

C#m E-m F#-m B-m
Døden får I jer sit tag
