Eberg had been working on some syncs and was looking for a female vocalist. Rósa Birgitta Ísfeld was recommended by a friend and as soon as they had recorded their first thing they both knew they would have to keep on working together. They decided to meet every Tuesday night for a couple of months and put some songs together. One of their songs was used for an ad for Nova Telecom Company and soon the pressure to release the song as a single became enormous. Cod Music contacted them and offered to release their music in Iceland. “Don't Be A Stranger” became an instant radio hit and was released on a couple of compilation albums.

Feldberg has now finished recording their first album. It will be released in Iceland in October 2009 by Cod Music.

In Your Arms
Feldberg Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's impossible
Unattainable
Getting what you want and hurting no one
I understand if you go
I never said it wasn't so

I'm all alone
But I'd rather be in your arms

Hooo-oo-oo
In your arms
But I'd rather be in your arms

Breathe in and out
Release your doubt
We don't need them
We don't feed them
I never said it wasn't so
I forgot to let you know

I'm all alone
But I'd rather be in your arms
Hooo-oo-oo
In your arms

Hooo-oo-oo
But I'd rather be in your arms

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "In Your Arms" by Feldberg suggest the singer's desire for the affection and love of someone they truly care about. The opening lines, "it's impossible, unattainable, getting what you want and hurting no one," emphasizes how the singer knows that satisfying their wants and needs without causing pain to another is impossible. This may refer to a past relationship in which the singer hurt their partner by doing something they thought was right. The singer then expresses their fear of being by themselves when the person they desire leaves them. The line, "I'm all alone but I'd rather be in your arms," shows this fear of solitude and the desire for security in their lover's embrace.

The chorus of the song repeats this sentiment but with the added line of "breathe in and out, release your doubt, we don't need them, we don't feed them." This line suggests a reassuring tone from the singer to their lover, telling them to release their doubts and forget about what people might say. The last line of the chorus "I forgot to let you know" may indicate the singer's regret and missed opportunity in telling their lover how they feel, leading to the current situation of their loneliness.
