The year after, he competed in the World Idol contest; after performing U2's "Beautiful Day" the Australian judge, Ian Dickson, told him: "You're one hell of a marketing challenge because you've got the voice of an angel but you look like a Hobbit." In spite of this, Kurt went on to win the competition, beating the bookies' favourite, American Idol Kelly Clarkson.
He has recorded several albums, the latest one Rise To The Occasion - with the single "Lost Highway" together with country legend Willie Nelson. _The_ Willie Nelson. Kurt has also played with Willie on his tour here in Norway.
Kurt Nilsen married Kristin Halvorsen in the summer of 2006. He has two kids from a previous relationship. His wife, Kristin, is one of the backupsingers in Kurt Nilsens hit "Push Push".
In the sparetime he enjoys trips to his lodge in the Norwegian mountains, and he is a huge fan of fishing.
Come on
Kurt Nilsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's my turn, searching for another break
Set me free, I only see the setting sun
Let me feel, like my luck has just begun
Wherever I go, it's all the same
We're so much alike, well, with a different name
Days going by, I'm gonna catch 'em again
I'm gonna lose this half-life, I'm on my way
Come on, we never know before we try
Come on, theres nothing we can't leave behind
Come on, we're past the time for questions, why?
Come on, yeah come on, what are we waiting for
Come on
Looking back, what happened to the time we spent
It's gone, no small cost for a life of rent
Let it go, Regret are just for feeling low
Here and now, the only thing that's left to know
Come on, we never know before we try
Come on, theres nothing we can't leave behind
Come on, we're past the time for questions, why
Come on, yeah come on, what are we waiting for
We owe it to ourselves now
And no one else can live our dreams
We owe it to ourselves, come on, come on
What are we waiting for
Come on, we never know before we try
Come on, there's nothing we can't leave behind
Come on, we're past the time for questions, why
Come on, yeah come on, what are we waiting for
Uhhhh, come on,
Come on, we never know before we try
So, come on, come on what are we waiting for
Get it on, It's my turn, set me free
Why don't you set me free, let me feel
Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Bring it on, bring it on, It's my turn
Set me free
Talk to me throw the ball back
Let me feel, come on
The lyrics of Kurt Nilsen's song Come On convey a sense of urgency and desire for change. The singer of the song is tired of living a monotonous life and is looking for a new beginning. He wants to be free from the constraints of his current situation and feels like he is trapped in a half-life. The lyrics encourage the listener to take a chance, to try something new and to leave the past behind. The singer is ready to take control of his life and pursue his dreams, urging the listener to do the same.
The chorus of the song is particularly compelling, with its repeated refrain of "come on." It's almost as if the singer is challenging the listener to take the plunge, to join him in his quest for change. The lyrics also suggest that regret is pointless, and that the only thing that matters is the present moment. The sense of urgency is heightened by the energetic instrumentation and Kurt Nilsen's powerful vocals.
