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.

De ba meg om å si i fra
Ga meg ho hen eg ville ha
Du gjorde meg til en helt annen
Eg har det bedre no

Eg vel se deg igjen, eg vi se fram igjen, eg vil se deg igjen. x2

Når hele verden går feil vei, og mørke føles mørkere

Når alt du sier blir til salt i såret mitt
Da er det noe galt med meg, eg vil gå tilbake eg vil se fram igjen
Eg vil se deg igjen, ha det bra igjeeeeeen.

Du ville ikkje drømme mer
Men eg har aldri møtt en som deg
Eg er for sliten til å gå for langt
Vær her med meg

Eg vil se deg igjen, eg vil se fram igjen, eg vil se deg igjen x2

Når hele verden går feil vei, og mørket føles mørkere
Når alt du sier blir til salt i såret mitt
Da er det noe galt med meg, eg vil gå tilbake eg vil se fram igjen
Eg vil se deg igjen, ha det bra igjeeeeeen.

Når hele verden går feil vei, og mørket føles mørkere
Når alt du sier blir til salt i såret mitt

Da er det noe galt med meg, eg vil gå tilbake eg vil se fram igjen
Eg vil se deg igjen, ha det bra igjeeeeeen.

De ba meg om å si i fra
They asked me to speak up

Ga meg ho hen eg ville ha
Gave me the one I wanted

Du gjorde meg til en helt annen
You made me a completely different person

Eg har det bedre no
I feel better now

Når hele verden går feil vei, og mørke føles mørkere
When the whole world is going the wrong way, and darkness feels darker

Når alt du sier blir til salt i såret mitt
When everything you say feels like salt in my wound

Da er det noe galt med meg, eg vil gå tilbake eg vil se fram igjen
Then there's something wrong with me, I want to go back, I want to move forward again

Eg vil se deg igjen, ha det bra igjeeeeeen.
I want to see you again, farewell for now.

Du ville ikkje drømme mer
You didn't want to dream anymore

Men eg har aldri møtt en som deg
But I've never met anyone like you

Eg er for sliten til å gå for langt
I'm too tired to go too far

Vær her med meg
Be here with me

Eg vil se deg igjen, eg vil se fram igjen, eg vil se deg igjen x2
I want to see you again, I want to move forward again, I want to see you again x2

Når hele verden går feil vei, og mørket føles mørkere
When the whole world is going the wrong way, and darkness feels darker

Når alt du sier blir til salt i såret mitt
When everything you say feels like salt in my wound

Da er det noe galt med meg, eg vil gå tilbake eg vil se fram igjen
Then there's something wrong with me, I want to go back, I want to move forward again

Eg vil se deg igjen, ha det bra igjeeeeeen.
I want to see you again, farewell for now.

Når hele verden går feil vei, og mørket føles mørkere

Then there's something wrong with me, I want to go back, I want to move forward again

Eg vil se deg igjen, ha det bra igjeeeeeen.
I want to see you again, farewell for now.
