David Ólafsson was born in Iceland – a place of pure silence far away from everything in the Atlantic Ocean – but lives in the big city of Copenhagen where the beat is constant, so to him the mixture of musical euphoria and bliss comes as a very natural thing. Ólafsson explains: “It really doesn’t get more mixed up than that. But I need both scenarios in my life and in my music. I love the tension between the opposites and this is where it gets interesting for me as a songwriter.”
DAVID44 makes electronic pop music that fuses with elements from house and funk – and the brand-new single from the upcoming debut album is title track, ‘Truth’. From the very first beat of the kick, that softly leads the way like a heartbeat, ‘Truth’ unfolds with the simple yet rousing and moving lyrics. David Ólafsson tells about the song: “It’s about speaking the truth but also how reality and words can be twisted by the one hearing it. It’s about having a misunderstood self-image, not believing in yourself or accepting your true self. These can be very dangerous thoughts and I wrote ‘Truth’ to boost the missing self-esteem.”

DAVID44 Lyrics

I know
I've been pushing you away from me
If I think about it it's clear
I've got to take a jump now
I've got to do it right now
Cause all I have
Is slipping away from me
Is slipping away from me
Away from me
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to think about it no more
No more
If you wanna talk about it
If you need to think about it
I don't
I don't
You know that I want you
But certainly I don't know
You know that I need love
But certainly I don't know
The more we talk about it I see
That I've always been afraid to??
And the more I think about it I know
I've got to take a jump now
I've got to do it right now
Cause all I have
Is slipping away from me
And all I care for
Is slipping away from me
Away from me
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to think about it no more
No more
If you wanna talk about it
If you need to think about it
I don't
I don't
You know that I want you
But certainly I don't know
You know that I need love
But certainly I don't know
Cause all I have
Is slipping away from me
And all I care for
Is slipping away from me
Away from me
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to think about it no more
No more
If you wanna talk about it
If you need to think about it
I don't
I don't
You know that I want you
But certainly I don't know
You know that I need love
But certainly I don't know
The song "Talk" by DAVID44 is an introspective piece that delves into the confusion and indecisiveness of the singer's emotions. The first verse shows the singer acknowledging that they have been pushing someone away, but they want to change that and take a leap. However, they also seem to be conflicted as they repeat that all they have and care for is slipping away, but they don't want to talk or think about it anymore.
In the chorus, the singer admits to their unsure feelings, stating that they want the person but they don't know for sure. The second verse implies that the more the singer thinks about their emotions, the clearer it becomes that they have been afraid to take action. Once again, the chorus repeats the conflicted emotions of the singer, with the realization that everything they have is slipping away from them.
The song paints a picture of someone who is torn between their feelings and their indecision, unable to commit fully to a relationship. Perhaps the singer is afraid of the vulnerability that comes with opening up to someone, or maybe they are simply indecisive by nature. Overall, "Talk" explores the complexities of human emotions and how confusing they can be at times.

Now that I think about it
After some introspection, I realize
I know
I am aware
I've been pushing you away from me
I have been causing distance in our relationship
If I think about it it's clear
Upon reflection, it becomes obvious
I've got to take a jump now
I must take a bold action
I've got to do it right now
I must act immediately
Cause all I have
Because everything I possess
Is slipping away from me
Is slowly slipping out of my grasp
And all I care for
And everything that I care about
Is slipping away from me
Is slowly slipping out of my grasp
Away from me
Out of my reach
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to discuss it
I don't want to think about it no more
I don't want to dwell on it any longer
If you wanna talk about it
If you want to discuss it
If you need to think about it
If you need to reflect on it
I don't
I am not interested
I don't
I am not interested
You know that I want you
You are aware that I desire you
But certainly I don't know
But I am unsure
The more we talk about it I see
The further we discuss it, I realize
That I've always been afraid to??
That I have been scared to do something
And the more I think about it I know
As I ponder it more, I understand
Cause all I have
Because everything I possess
Is slipping away from me
Is slowly slipping out of my grasp
And all I care for
And everything that I care about
Is slipping away from me
Is slowly slipping out of my grasp
Away from me
Out of my reach
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to discuss it
I don't want to think about it no more
I don't want to dwell on it any longer
If you wanna talk about it
If you want to discuss it
If you need to think about it
If you need to reflect on it
I don't
I am not interested
I don't
I am not interested
You know that I want you
You are aware that I desire you
But certainly I don't know
But I am unsure
You know that I need love
You know that I require affection
But certainly I don't know
But I am unsure

Lyrics:
Now if i think about it i know,
I've been pushing you away from me so late
'Cause if i think about it it's clear
We gotta take a ???? now
We gotta do it right now
'Cause all i have
Is slipping away from me
And all i care for
Is slipping away from me, away from me
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to think about it no more, no more
And If you want to talk about it
If you want to think about it im gone, im gone
You know that i want you,
But certainly i don't know (i need you)
You know that i need your love
But certainly i don't know
The more we talk about it i see
That i've always been afraid to be lonely
And the more i think about it i know,
I gotta take a ???? now
I gotta do it right now
'Cause all i have
Is slipping away from me
And all i care for
Is slipping away from me, away from me
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to think about it no more, no more
And If you want to talk about it
If you want to think about it im gone, im gone
You know that i want you,
But certainly i don't know (i need you)
You know that i need your love
But certainly i don't know
'Cause all i have
Is slipping away from me
And all i care for
Is slipping away from me, away from me
I don't want to talk about it
I don't want to think about it no more, no more
And If you want to talk about it
If you want to think about it im gone, im gone
You know that i want you,
But certainly i don't know (i need you)
You know that i need your love
But certainly i don't know

Def a Hollister/Abercrombie store style music. Heard this when it first came out. You're totally underrated. This is the kind of music that should be mainstream. You got the sex appeal and mystical talent to be on Mainstream.
Kimberly huber
One of the best songs I have ever heard
Brian Haagh
Superb pop song! more music please :)
