The most promi… Read Full Bio ↴Lodger is a name used by several bands and musicians:
The most prominent is this entry:
1) Lodger is a Finnish indie band, formed by Teemu Merilä in 2002. Although largely unknown outside of Finland, they have established a cult-following on the internet due to the popularity of their flash music videos. Their first video "Doorsteps" and all their subsequent are designed by the bands lyricist Hannes Häyhä.
Their big break-through was with the internationally known flash-video 'I Love Death' which was later followed by the videos 'God Has Rejected The Western World' and '24h Candy Machine'.
Their first album, Hi-Fi High Lights Down Low, is rarely found in record-stores but can be bought over the internet at www.stupido.fi, also check amazon marketplace.
Their second album, How Vulgar, received lukewarm critical and fan response -- but don't let that stop you from listening. The tracks "Friends" and "Brunswick Centre" are among their best.
Their third and latest album, Honeymoon Is Over, is, to paraphrase Merilä, what How Vulgar should have been. Much of the music has a harsher tone than their previous work.
For flash videos go to lodger.fi and for news of tours, or updates, use their myspace www.myspace.com/lodger as this is actually updated from time to time.
In 2007 there was a small tour of America and there may have been a trip to the UK also in 2007.
2) Lodger was also a late 1990s indie 'supergroup' composed of Danny Goffey (Supergrass), Pearl Lowe (Powder), Neil Carlill (Delicatessen), and Will Foster (also Delicatessen). The band released one album, A Walk in the Park, in 1998.

Nothing's Impossible
Lodger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Book in my hand and a winding road
Falling asleep feels like weeks
Waiting to land on foreign soil
I'll never see you again
I'll never see you again
Counting the second hand
I can do anything
Nothing's impossible
Sat on the beach out of my reach
Missing the girl that leads me astray
Changing my goal, cleansing my soul
I had a heart and a mind like coal
I'll never see you again
I'll never see you again
Counting the second hand
And then the minute hand
I can do anything
Nothing's impossible
I'll never see you again
I'll never see you again
Counting the second hand
And then the minute hand
I can do anything
Nothing's impossible
The song "Nothing's Impossible" by Lodger is a bittersweet reflection on the nature of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity. The lyrics capture the sense of being lost and alone, while simultaneously holding onto the idea that anything is possible. The singer seems to be in a transitional phase, traveling to a foreign land with a book in hand, but feeling tired and disconnected from the world around him. He longs for connection but knows that it may be out of his reach.
The chorus of the song, "I'll never see you again / Counting the second hand / And then the minute hand / I can do anything / Nothing's impossible" captures the tension between the singer's sense of loss and his determination to keep moving forward. The counting of the second and minute hands suggests a sense of longing and waiting, but the declaration that "nothing's impossible" suggests a belief in the power of possibility and the ability to overcome obstacles.
The second verse introduces the theme of redemption and transformation, with the singer reflecting on his past mistakes and the need to "cleanse his soul." The reference to having a "heart and mind like coal" suggests that he has struggled with negativity and cynicism, but is now trying to make a change.
Overall, "Nothing's Impossible" is a song about the struggle to hold onto hope and possibility, even in the face of difficulty and loss.
