"In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe."

New Music: Empty Promises OUT NOW!

My friend, Klaus Chiesa, released his New very personal song during the night. It is a song he wrote and made 100% by himself, telling a very deep and personal story from his own life.

I listened to the song last night before going to bed, on YouTubeMusic. When I put it on, I just put headphones in, closed my eyes and listened with all senses on and alert lying in the couch.

It is really a very strong, beautiful and also very Sad song that absolutely breaks my heart. I could feel every word icing through my body like a snow storm, like an icicle, like a blizzard. I could feel all these old feelings bursting out in my chest. I could feel my built up tears rolling down my cheek. And if you did not cry already by the time of the expectant amazing ending arriving, you sure as hell will cry then ❤️😭

I honestly don't know how to react. Every time I try to write something about this song, how it feels, I start crying. If I am to react as the child I once were myself, or as the woman and mother I am today. The mother in me wants to grab that little boy and hug him and give him all the love I can give. The little child in me.... Well, I feel every word on a deeper level.

I recommend everyone that loves music to visit Spotify or any other place that stream music, and give this a listen ❤️ The song last for almost 4 minutes, but it will be 4 beautiful minutes, so it won't be in vain ❤️



Let him tell you his story ❤️ And if the song give you anything, please save it to your favorite playlists and help us push it ❤️

Love from

Ny Inspirasjon

Hvis det er noe jeg har lært av den helga som var... Hvis jeg virkelig skal analysere alt og virkelig gå inn i meg selv... Så vet jeg i hvert fall disse ting...

At jeg ønsker å bruke mer tid på kor, både å synge i kor og å gå på kor treff, arrangementer, andre korkonserter. Gjøre mer av kor aktiviteter, for å få smake den magien oftere. Være innkapslet, svøpt, I den boblen, ofte. Det er ikke nok med den årlige kor cruise turen og ellers det jeg gjør med koret mitt. Jeg kjenner jeg er sulten på mer.

Jeg ønsker å bruke enda mer tid på å gjøre meg selv bedre. At det høres bedre ut. At det kommer bedre UT. At det faktisk vil høres vakkert ut for andre. Bli bevisst på egne feil, og fikse dem. Ja, jeg er inspirert.

Jeg ønsker å lage show. Musikal. Reise rundt og besøke steder og land og synge med kor. "Smake" nye ting. Tenk så heftig det ville vært.

Ja, og jeg må også innrømme, som mange ganger før, at jeg savner å synge i et blandakor. Det betyr ikke at jeg kommer til å forlate mitt kor. Det skal jeg ikke. Vi er et kjempebra damekor som jeg ønsker mange flere fikk øyne og ørene opp for.
Men ja, jeg savner Ã¥ synge i blandakor ogsÃ¥. Minnes den tiden jeg sang i 3 kor uten problemer. Det var herlig. Tenk om livet hadde tillatt meg Ã¥ gjøre lignende igjen en dag ❤️

Jeg ønsker å lære. Så hvilke spørsmål burde jeg da stille til de som eventuelt kan lære meg?

Hvordan kan jeg best mulig lære på egenhånd?

I slike situasjoner hvor jeg møter mennesker, så sliter jeg med angst. Ja, jeg skal ærlig si det. Det tar lang tid for meg å tørre. Så å spørre mennesker jeg ikke kjenner, om ting jeg lurer på, ting de kan lære meg, det er ikke lett. Å ta ordet når jeg føler jeg har noe relevant å si. Å spørre om jeg får sitte meg med andre. Å også finne på ting å prate om, når man ikke føler seg smart nok eller god nok. Ikke GØY nok rett og slett.

Mulig fordi noen tidligere har fått meg til å tro at jeg rett og slett ikke er god nok eller gøy nok. At jeg ikke skal ta plass, og at jeg skal være usynlig. Jeg elsker de øyeblikkene hvor jeg har glemt av denne gamle programmeringen som sitter dypt i meg, og bare gått imot alt det. Og jeg elsker de menneskene som innimellom kommer inn i mitt liv og prøver å lokke ut den personen jeg prøver å skjule der inne. For jeg er faktisk veldig glad i den personen.

Det er derfor kor er sånn en stor kilde til glede, til lykke, til... Terapi. Det er medisin. Veldig viktig medisin for kropp og sjel.

Og ja, kor treff, kor cruise, korkonserter og lignende... Det forener store grupper. Skaper samhold. Samler ulike mennesker med ulik bakgrunn i alle aldre. 

Etter Ã¥ ha lest helt hit.... 

Er DU overbevist om at musikk er magisk? At kor er magisk? 

In English 

If there's one thing I've learned from that weekend... If I'm really going to analyze everything and really go into myself... Then I know at least these things...

That I want to spend more time on choirs, both singing in choirs and going to choir meetings, events, other choir concerts. Do more of choir activities, to taste that magic more often. Be encapsulated, wrapped, In that bubble, often. It's not enough with the annual choir cruise trip and otherwise what I do with my choir. I feel I'm hungry for more.

I want to spend even more time on making myself better. That it sounds better. That it comes OUT better. That it will actually sound beautiful to others. Become aware of my own mistakes, and fix them. Yes, I'm inspired.

I want to make shows. Musicals. Travel around and visit places and countries and sing with choirs. "Taste" new things. Think how awesome that would be.

 Yes, and I also have to admit, as many times before, that I miss singing in a mixed choir, with tenors and bass too. That doesn't mean I'm going to leave my choir. I'm not going to. We're a great women's choir that I wish many more people would open their eyes and ears to.
But yes, I miss singing in a mixed choir too. I remember the time when I sang in 3 choirs without any problems. It was wonderful. Imagine if life had allowed me to do something like that again one day ❤️

I want to learn. So what questions should I ask those who can possibly teach me?

How can I best learn on my own?

In situations like this where I meet people, I struggle with anxiety. Yes, I'll be honest. It takes me a long time to dare. So asking people I don't know about things I'm wondering about, things they can teach me, is not easy. To speak up when I feel I have something relevant to say. To ask if I can sit with others.  To also find things to talk about, when you don't feel smart enough or good enough. Simply not FUN enough.

Possibly because someone has previously made me believe that I'm simply not good enough or fun enough. That I shouldn't take a place, and that I should be invisible. I love those moments when I've forgotten about this old programming that's deep inside me, and just gone against all that. And I love the people who occasionally come into my life and try to lure out the person I'm trying to hide inside. Because I actually really love that person.

That's why choirs are such a great source of joy, of happiness, of... Therapy. It's medicine. Very important medicine for body and soul.

And yes, choir meets, choir cruises, choir concerts and the like... It unites large groups. Creates unity. Brings together different people with different backgrounds of all ages. 

After reading this far.... 

Are YOU convinced that music is magical?  That the choir is magical?

The Cruise of Life

I am back home from the wonderful choir cruise. Have been for days actually. Since sunday. But... Home feels like a different world. A different reality. 

When I was fresh home from the choir cruise, I had new energies. Joy. Good positive spirit. My batteries were charged somehow, Even though I had less sleep. Choir and singing is a very strong Source of joy. Laughter. Hope. Energy. All the harmonies together. It is pure magic. The magic we make together, United. 

It was the first time in forever, that I actually have felt alive. 

I mean... YES I feel alive when I experience something real... Like music that speak to my heart and soul

But... After this weekend... Doing what I did, I felt alive... More alive than in ages. For the First time in forever.... 


... I have spent my time wisely. Living. Enjoying life. Doing something that gives me joy. Give me wisdom. Give me LAUGHTER. With living peoples. Real peoples. 

If there is a God out there, he will most likely already know how much laughter means to me. How much FREEDOM means to me. 

Filling my days with music. With song. Challenging myself. Being a little bold. Dare to take the step to be social. Smile at strangers. Dare to let yourself go a little. Dont overthink. Dont feel. Just LET them know.... 

How I am ❤️ WHO I am. Inside.... 


Saturday was soooo much fun ❤️❤️❤️ I just want to do it over and over again. And I can feel it in my heart that I already miss it. Oh boy, I will LIVE on the memories from this trip, once again. 

And who knows, if it is the right circumstances, I might sign up my 3rd time too next year ❤️❤️ 

When singing the last tone of the last song on the cruise, I almost cried. I was really not ready to leave that bubble behind. To end conversations. To say Goodbye to positive energy that made my experience of this so much easier, so much better, so much funnier.
