Krysten Berg, influenced both musically and culturally by her European heritage as well as living in major cultural melting pots such as London, New York and Los Angeles, brings a multi-faceted background to her writing and performing. Having had her first stage appearance at the age of 4 and studying classical music throughout her childhood, she began composing on guitar and later on piano, giving her the opportunity to display her wide range of vocal and musical skills. After graduating from College for the Performing Arts she made a bold move from her native Europe to New York where she honed her craft and paid her dues by becoming an in-demand session singer working alongside top producers and learning how records were made. Moving to London to record her debut album, she worked with accomplished musicians such as Grammy award winner Mike Howlett, Seal bassist Phil Spalding and Pink Floyd percussionist Gary Wallis.
Determined to record more of her own music, she moved back to New York and began working on her US debut "New Moon" with producer Jeff Bova and an eclectic cast of musicians such as guitarist Jeff Golub, drummer Shawn Pelton and percussionist Carol Steele to name a few. She has performed at numerous London and Manhattan hot spots ~ 'The Orange', 'CBGB's Gallery', 'Downtime' and 'Mercury Lounge'. The title song "New Moon" has gotten airplay across the US and Canada and landed in the Top 10 (CMJ). Her song "Falling" is featured in the movie "Shutter" (2008).
Unlike her album "New Moon" which embodied a sense of urgency, written and recorded almost simultaneously, Krysten Berg's latest album "Shades of Blue" has been more of a journey, starting with recordings in London, then New York to the final mixing in Los Angeles. It is being added to radio playlists and continues to gain momentum.
"Shades of Blue" is in stores now, available at iTunes and Amazon worldwide.

Carry On
Krysten Berg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wrap my arms around you, keep you warm
Give you for a little while shelter from the storm
Let my love surround you, chase away the clouds
Let me be your island when you're losing ground
We carry, we carry on, our hearts still torn
Yearning for distant shores
Through the veil of silence you emerge
I can sense your spirit, I can taste your thirst
Like an unborn promise waiting to unfold
You're my secret story waiting to be told
We carry, we carry on, our hearts still
We carry, we carry on, our hearts still torn
We carry, we carry on, our hearts still
Yearning for distant shores, yearning for distant shores
We're walking the edge pearls in our hands
Challenge the gods in search of our promised land
Never felt closer, still so far away,
But you say, you say you believe that
Heaven will come to those who can wait
Life is for living, so I live for today
Free falling into the mystery of it all,
I believe, I believe that
We carry, we carry on, our hearts still
We carry, we carry on, our hearts still
We carry, we carry on, our hearts still torn
We carry, we carry on, our hearts still
Yearning for distant shores, yearning for distant shores
I believe, I believe we carry on
Yearning for distant shores, yearning for distant shores
I believe, I believe we carry on ...
In "Carry On," Krysten Berg sings about a relationship that is struggling to stay afloat amidst turbulent times. The first verse speaks of holding someone close during a storm, in order to protect and comfort them. The chorus, with its repeated "we carry, we carry on," suggests that even though the couple may be struggling, they are persevering and pushing through their difficulties together. They yearn for better days, represented metaphorically by "distant shores," but they are still committed to one another and to making their relationship work.
The second verse introduces the idea of a "secret story waiting to be told," a promise or dream that the couple shares. They are taking risks and walking on the edge, but they believe that their dream is worth it. The final verse mentions the idea of waiting, and emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment. The singer acknowledges that they do not know the outcome or future of their relationship, but chooses to enjoy the mystery and journey of life.
Overall, "Carry On" is a hopeful song about keeping the faith and persevering in the face of adversity. It acknowledges that life is unpredictable, but that we can still choose to hold onto love and believe in our dreams.
