about

“Blooming Roses coheres nicely, evoking a somber circumspective vibe that avoids melancholy or sentimentalism, from the quiet reflection of “Instincts” to the country-tinged “Disrepair” to the swelling six-minute closer, “Everywhere Is Somewhere.” (The latter recalls the aching Americana of The Band, but was cut in Norway with members of Thomas Dybdahl’s band.) (Nashville Scene )

lyrics

Everywhere Is Somewhere

There’s a girl by the window, waiting in the sun
There’s a girl by the window, she’s waiting in the sun
Bright as origami, she blinds me like a gun

She’s got honey colored hair, and a navy colored coat
Her hands are in the pockets of her navy colored coat
Her slingshot opinions hit me like waves upon a boat

She says it’s all about the moment, but I’ve got one eye on the clock
It’s all about the moment, I’ve got one eye on the clock
She says, open up a little, you might see what you have got

There are stars up in the sky, that burned out long ago
They take so long to reach us, they burned out long ago
Something about the time, it passes faster than you know

There’s a house in the picture, doors and windows painted black
In a corridor of white, doors and windows painted black
If I could get a little peace, I’d never want to give it back

She said, many people play, but not so many care
She said, many people play, but not so many care
Everywhere is somewhere, and you’re already there.
