But when you start playing «Vektlaus» it’s soon evident that Kvammen is an artist who enjoys having a knife to his throat. With the help of famous musicians and his producer Even Ormestad, the man from Geilo has carved out an astoundingly vital album that bubbles with melodies, big emotions and a reckless delight in conveying music.
The sound is a lot more synth-driven and modern than on the debut album, but thematically, Kvammen’s lyrics on «Vektlaus» are centered around the eternal topic. Love, and specifically the loss of it, permeates the nine songs that constitute the record. With a commendable openness, the different stages of a breakup is portrayed, and our thoughts go to classic breakup albums like Springsteen’s «Tunnel Of Love» and Dylan’s «Blood On The Tracks».
But there’s light even in the deepest darkness, and in the album’s epic final song, «Det beste ventar fortsatt», Daniel rises from the ashes and the chaos, and establishes that:
Universet det er stort
Og me er så små me to
Men har du tenkt på kor befriande det er at det er uendeleg
Og av alt ditt auge ser
Så er lyset det sterkaste som er
Einsam i lag
Daniel Kvammen Lyrics

At eg hadde gått meg vill før du kom og tok meg heim
Visste du at eg drøymde og den draumen den var deg
Og eg veit det gjør så vondt i blant
Men du har meg
sjølv når verden kjennes så kald
Men eg blir hos deg
Og om du er einsam
så vær einsam med meg
Du og dine tårer, som altid fell så hardt
Og du og dine tankar, som alltid er på vakt
Og du som ikkje ser kor bra du egentlig er
Ja, eg veit det gjør så vondt blant
men du har meg
sjølv om verden kjennes kald
Dei si at alt går over
Men eg blir hos deg
Og om du er einsam
så vær einsam med meg
Om eg berre kunne skru oss tilbake til start
Og om eg berre kunne trøste så du såg alt klart
Når det er mørkt, alt seier stopp
du er den som ser meg, løfter meg opp
For eg du, no er me ein
du veit eg trur sånn på at det finns meir
Dei si at alt går over
Men eg blir hos deg
Og om du er einsam
så vær einsam med meg
Dei si at alt går over
Men eg blir hos deg
Og om du er einsam
så vær einsam med meg
The song "Einsam i lag" by Daniel Kvammen Eva Weel Skram is a beautiful, heartfelt ballad about two individuals who find solace in each other's company. The lyrics are simple but powerful, expressing the idea that despite feeling lost or alone, having someone by your side can make all the difference.
The first verse talks about how the two individuals, despite being very different, are actually very similar in their feelings of being lost and directionless. The singer expresses how they had been lost before the other person came along and brought them home. They dreamt about finding someone like them, and now they have.
The chorus is particularly moving, as it talks about how the world can make us feel cold and alone, but despite that, the other person is always there to comfort and support. The line "Og om du er einsam så vær einsam med meg" translates to "And if you're lonely, be lonely with me." It's a beautiful sentiment that perfectly captures the idea of finding companionship in the midst of loneliness.
The second verse talks about the other person's struggles with their emotions and anxiety, and how the singer wishes they could make everything better for them. Despite this, the singer is always there for them and lifts them up when they're feeling down.
Overall, "Einsam i lag" is a touching song that speaks to the power of companionship and finding someone who understands and supports you.

Visste du at me to, me to me er ein
Did you know that you and I, just the two of us, are one?
At eg hadde gått meg vill før du kom og tok meg heim
That I was lost before you came and took me home
Visste du at eg drøymde og den draumen den var deg
Did you know that I dreamt, and the dream was you
Og eg veit det gjør så vondt i blant
And I know it hurts sometimes
Men du har meg
But you have me
sjølv når verden kjennes så kald
Even when the world feels so cold
Dei si at alt går over
They say that everything passes
Men eg blir hos deg
But I'll stay with you
Og om du er einsam
And if you're lonely
så vær einsam med meg
Then be lonely with me
Du og dine tårer, som altid fell så hardt
You and your tears, which always fall so hard
Og du og dine tankar, som alltid er på vakt
You and your thoughts, which are always on guard
Og du som ikkje ser kor bra du egentlig er
And you who doesn't see how great you really are
Ja, eg veit det gjør så vondt blant
Yes, I know it hurts sometimes
men du har meg
But you have me
sjølv om verden kjennes kald
Even when the world feels cold
Om eg berre kunne skru oss tilbake til start
If only I could turn us back to the beginning
Og om eg berre kunne trøste så du såg alt klart
And if only I could comfort you so you could see clearly
Når det er mørkt, alt seier stopp
When it's dark, everything seems to stop
du er den som ser meg, løfter meg opp
You are the one who sees me, lifts me up
For eg du, no er me ein
For you and I, now we are one
du veit eg trur sånn på at det finns meir
You know I believe that there is more
Dei si at alt går over
They say that everything passes
Men eg blir hos deg
But I'll stay with you
Og om du er einsam
And if you're lonely
så vær einsam med meg
Then be lonely with me
Dei si at alt går over
They say that everything passes
Men eg blir hos deg
But I'll stay with you
Og om du er einsam
And if you're lonely
så vær einsam med meg
Then be lonely with me
