Description
Trond Granlund welcomes us with beautiful, harmonious songs, and it feels a bit like we've been invited to Trond's home for coffee on a quiet Sunday afternoon. The album is a collection of new beautiful songs, performed by one of the best in the field. Granlund has an iron grip on conveying both pain, love and brutality. It is liberating to hear the dark, rusty voice sing in Norwegian once again. Even though Granlund has given us many unforgettable songs in English, he rises to a new level when the lyrics are delivered in Norwegian. There is a nerve and intimacy in the songs that cannot be conveyed as well in English. Every word, every note and every story has a meaning beyond mood. After almost 30 years as a recording artist, Granlund shows that there is still a lot in him as an artist. Tida er'e ingen som kan snu was Trond Granlund 's first Norwegian solo album in over 20 years. Granlund shows with songs like "Manglerud, Manglerud", "Ring rundt månen" and "Nattproletarenes sang" that even the local can have a global impact. We are all different, we all come from different places in life, but even though our cultural backgrounds and upbringing may be different, we humans have much more in common than we might think. Trond Granlund 's lyrics and honest performance mean that we are left with much more than just a good musical experience. There is something about Granlund which is hard to put your finger on, when the deep rusty, almost slightly tired voice flows out of the speakers with songs like "Geronimo ropte på vinden", one cannot help but reflect on the lyrics of the songs. From an artist who has given us countless great songs in rock, country and roots, this is an album that really shows how much blues lives in this man. On "Vaterlands bru" guests Joachim "Jokke" Nielsen and Trond Ingebretsen from Bjølsen Valsemølle.
