Being a common male first name in Norway, one probably don’t expect the stunning voice of Silje Halstensen coming at you. The powerful sound of Bendik has made her and her band a live favourite in Norway. Constantly developing the sound, the red thread is the amazing intensity and massive sound they are able to produce. Many would probably say that Bendik has got a very Nordic sound, and they wouldn’t be very far off assuming correctly. The fact that Halstensen sings in her native Norwegian dialect obviously emphasises this quite a lot, and is also central in the way we listen to this band. It’s just really hard to resist this.

Aldri
Bendik Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eg saver deg ikkje
Ikkje hvert sekund
Ser eg vinden blåse
Fra ingenting
Det var tungt og trist
Inni hjertet mitt
Kommer sol og regn
Og no blir du her

Så då er det opp til meg
Om eg aldri vil se deg

Om eg aldri vil
Kjenne regent komme

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bendik's song "Aldri" describe the emotions of someone who has gone through a difficult time after losing a loved one but is now moving forward with hope. The singer reflects that in the past, they did not save the person they loved, and it was a heavy burden to carry in their heart. They see the wind blowing, seemingly from nothing, providing a metaphor for the unexpected changes that can happen in life. Despite these difficulties, the sun and rain come and now the person they love is here.

However, the responsibility now lies with the singer to determine if they will let go of the past and never see or feel the loved one again. The lyrics suggest that the pain of the past may have caused them to consider shutting themselves off from love, and the choice to stay open to the possibility of future love is up to them. The song is ultimately about finding the courage to move on while holding onto the memories of the past.

Eg saver deg ikkje
I don't miss you

Ikkje hvert sekund
Not every second

Ser eg vinden blåse
When I see the wind blow

Fra ingenting
From out of nowhere

Det var tungt og trist
It was heavy and sad

Inni hjertet mitt
Inside my heart

Kommer sol og regn
Sun and rain come

Og no blir du her
And now you'll stay

Så då er det opp til meg
So it's up to me

Om eg aldri vil se deg
If I never want to see you

Om eg aldri vil
If I never want to
