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.

Igjen
Bendik Lyrics

la meg bli litt til
sove rolig puste inn
og må tro det blir meg og deg
drømmen gjør meg ingenting
kjenne varmen din en stund
mista hjertet ditt og mitt
for det fins ingen evighet
kjærlighet og sorg eg e

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bendik's song "Igjen" are reflective and melancholic, expressing the longing for a deep and meaningful connection with someone. The singer pleads with their partner to let them stay a little longer, to breathe in the moment and appreciate each other's presence. Despite the looming reality that their time together is fleeting and there is no such thing as eternity, the dream of being with their partner is enough to sustain them. The chorus repeats the phrase "se ka du gjør" (see what you do) as the singer watches their partner and the situation repeat itself, unable to break free from the cycle of heartbreak and love.

This song beautifully captures the human desire for connection and the pain of heartbreak. The lyrics are simple but powerful, conveying the complexities of love and loss. The use of the Norwegian language adds an extra layer of emotional depth and rawness to the song. The melody is haunting and ethereal, adding to the overall nostalgic and bittersweet mood. Bendik's emotive vocals perfectly convey the pain and longing expressed in the lyrics.
