Growing up in a small town (Berkåk, Norway), Astrid got into music at an early age and at six she started to play the piano. Not long after she was also playing several instruments, in addition to sing and write songs. At the age of 16 she participated in the Norwegian version of Pop Idol in 2013. During her time in the competition, she released her single "Shattered" as Astrid Smeplass. The single was written by her, Lars K. Hushoft and Melanie Fontana. "Shattered" has been streamed over 5 million times and sold to gold in just one week. It is therefore the most popular single from the last five finalists. Astrid got signed to Playroom Artist after placing as number five in Pop Idol. She released her first single 2AM under her new artist image at the age of 18 on Universal Music. "2AM" was released in the USA in 2015. She also released a cover-version of the single FourFiveSeconds which has been doing well on radio in Norway in 2015.
In 2015 she featured the Canadian artist Shawn Mendes on the song Air on his album Handwritten that placed at number 1 in the Billboard 200 chart in April 2015.
Astrid released her track “Hyde” produced by the raging popular Lido (The Weeknd, Alt-J, Bastille, Banks) and co-produced by the Swedish duo Cal Maui & Blisse. The track was premiered on Fader Magazine and represents the first new music from Astrid S since her debut hit single “2AM” and her appearance on Avicii’s July 2015 “Waiting For Love” remix EP.
Astrid won her first MTV EMA award as Best Norwegian Act, got two out of four awards at P3 Gull and was nominated for Best Song (“2AM”) at the Norwegian Grammy Awards.
During the winter, she has been working on finalizing her highly anticipated debut EP, which is due out this spring (May 20). Meanwhile, the latest single, Matoma x Astrid S - “Running Out,” has been picking up traction across the world and has passed 50 million streams on Spotify alone.
Astrid S is signed to Sony/ATV Music Publishing as one of their youngest songwriters.
Emotion
Astrid S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You live and you let 'til you start to bleed
How would I know?
'Cause you left my wound wide open
Just for how long will you let it bleed? Oh
The town we are from, the small-minded talk
We'd sing the songs with the lyrics all wrong
'Cause shit didn't turn out the way that you hoped
I get that you're hurt 'cause we don't spend time
As much as we used to but don't we all learn from mistakes?
Mm
Did you forget that I've got a thing called emotion?
You live and you let 'til you start to bleed
How would I know?
'Cause you left my wound wide open
Just for how long will you let it bleed?
Did you know the lies you would feed
In the end I'd start to believe in?
Did you forget I've got a thing called emotion?
Why can't we talk it over?
I just, I just don't get it
Why can't we talk it over? (Ooh)
Did you forget that I've got a thing called emotion?
You live and you let 'til you start to bleed
How would I know?
'Cause you left my wound wide open
Just for how long will you let it bleed?
Did you know the lies you would feed
In the end I'd start to believe in?
Did you forget I've got a thing called emotion? (Emotion)
The song "Emotion" by Astrid S is about a relationship that has gone awry due to a lack of communication and emotional understanding between the couple. The opening line, "Did you forget that I've got a thing called emotion?" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is expressing frustration with her partner, who seems to have neglected the fact that she is a human being with feelings. The repetition of the phrase "You live and you let 'til you start to bleed" emphasizes the pain caused by this emotional neglect. The singer is asking her partner to acknowledge her emotions and take responsibility for his actions that have caused her hurt.
The second verse sheds light on the past of the couple, hinting at the reason for the distance between them. "The town we are from, the small-minded talk" suggests that there may have been social pressure or judgment that strained their relationship. The following lines, "Invested in love but now you feel broke / 'Cause shit didn't turn out the way that you hoped" imply that the partner feels let down by the relationship, but instead of working on the issues, he chooses to distance himself further. The singer acknowledges that mistakes were made but suggests that they can learn from them and grow together.
Overall, "Emotion" is a powerful and relatable song about the importance of emotional connection and communication in a relationship. It highlights the need for partners to acknowledge and respect one another's emotions and work on building a stronger connection.
