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.

Knust glass
Bendik Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Det e noe ved deg som gjør meg bra
Du e bølgene i havet og skyene på himmelen
Eg vil at du vil ha meg og alle med meg
En dag en gang for alltid hold meg hardt
Men eg vet du vil gå tilbake til når du en gang var

Vi brant ned aske
Tømte mine følelser flaske

Du gikk til neste
Mann kan ikke gjemme deg i hovedstaden
Har du fått deg en ny kis
Eller kunne du ikke tolerere min livsstil
Brukte lang tid på å svare på melding
Akkurat som jeg aldri var no viktig
Yeah riktig
Jeg har alltid vært oppriktig selv om jeg har problem med å holde på en tidsfrist
Real shit er det rene sans dude men vi kan ikke gå tilbake for da renner alt ut
Uansett har ikke lyst til lenger
Visker bak ryggen på no rykteslenging
Shit

La meg bare være rusa vi kan uansett ikke fikse et knust glass
Men eg vet du vil gå tilbake til
