Alice has a dedicated following that started with Ashton Kutcher posting one of her covers to Facebook in 2015 and has since grown organically to almost 850,000 subscribers to her YouTube channel. Her recent releases “Lost My Mind” and “Lost in Translation” were featured on Spotify’s coveted New Music Friday and New Music Friday UK playlists, and Blackbook Magazine proclaimed “We fell for her with the recent release of the hauntingly beautiful single ‘Lost My Mind.’ It was a bit like Lana Del Rey, but with 10x the fire. You heard it here first: we think Alice Kristiansen is going to be a star.”
One can’t help but believe her new music is a first glimpse into what will be a pivotal year in the creative journey of Alice Kristiansen. It is undoubtedly an indicator that we are just scratching the surface of what is a very special artist.
Ho Hey
Alice Kristiansen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been living a lonely life
I've been sleepin here instead
I've been sleepin in my bed
Sleepin in my bed
So show me family
All the blood that I will bleed
I don't know where I went wrong
But I can write a song
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweet
I don't think you're right for him
Think of what it might have been if we
Took a bus to chinatown
I'd be standin on canal and bowery
And she'd be standin next to me
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweetheart
Love we need it now
Let's hope for some
Cause oh, we're bleedin out
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweet
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweet
The song "Ho Hey" by Alice Kristiansen conveys the emotions of a protagonist who has been trying to do things the right way to live a fulfilling life but has been feeling lonely lately. The artist has been sleeping alone in her bed and wishes to find a sense of belonging with her family. Even though she does not know where she went wrong, she knows how to express herself through songwriting.
The singer later speaks to her lover, expressing that they belong together, and they are their "sweethearts." She believes that they are meant to be together and that she does not believe that her lover is right for someone else. She imagines them taking a bus ride to Chinatown, where she would stand with him, and they would be together. The artist concludes that love is essential, and they need to hope, even in dire situations where they are bleeding.
