Oh I miss the comfort of this house.
Where we are where we are.
Where we are where we are
The floor under our feet whispers out
Come on in come on in, where it all begins.

Can you chase the fire away
Can you chase the fire away

We climbed up to the top in worn out shoes
But she ran down she ran down.
She ran down to the house.
A fox that gains our trust, but then breaks it as he walks
Away form us, away from us.

Can you chase the fire away
Can you chase the fire away

In the fall, we sleep all day
In the fall, we sleep all day
We sleep all day
We sleep all day
We sleep all day

Can you chase the fire away
Can you chase the fire away

In the fall, we sleep all day
In the fall, we sleep all day

To me, this song always sounds like what you feel at the end of a book or a movie, especially a very long one or one you wrote. You are so happy at the ending and just want to dance. You finished it! But you also want to hide under your bed and cry because it is all over. The "la la la" part really gives that feel of sad happiness. Like saying goodbye to someone for the good.

Eh. In retrospect, it wasn´t all horrible. I mean, at least when I was in school we had a somewhat stable social structure in which you got time to know people. Unlike College, where it is everyone for themselves.

It was still bad, though, but that is a long gone part of my life. Thanks for caring BTW. It motivates me.

A lot of people say that the “la la la” hit them hard but I think the “where we are, where we are” is the most significant part of this entire song as you can hear the people other than the main vocalists, Nanna and Ragnar. I hear this part and I instantly want to cry out as it’s filled with so much emotion that’s just protruding in every aspect. But at the same time I get a feeling of almost eerie in the echoes that is heard in this part. Another significant part is the trumpet, it’s so beautiful and goes along with the story in this song and I absolutely love it.

Gosh can you just imagine living in one of these houses? Feeling the damp creaky floor boards under your feet, walking to a balcony and feeling the cool morning mist in your face, opening a window smelling the scent of wet soil and grass and just pure fresh air. Or maybe just enjoying a breakfast of warm soft bread and hot cocoa on the balcony. And when the sun is out, the house would look so alive in the yellow light. But at night the sky is much more alive because of the stars. Each house would have it's own personality, because of those living in it. Each house would have a story to tell, each house different yet there is a sense of familiarity within each one. A sense of comfort, security and love.

Given that the camera appears to move upwards at a constant rate, and it takes about 10 seconds to rise one story, and that the music video is 4:30 seconds in length, or 270 (4 min x 60 sec + 30 sec) seconds in length, moving upwards at one story per 10 seconds, the house is about 27 stories tall. Or about 81 meters/270 feet. That's quite the cabin.
